No, not “blue” content. Adult!
You may have noticed that this blog is getting more and more adult. I don’t mean that I’m talking about smut more, but about more adult, and personal, things. As I focus less and less on the family I lost, and keeping things safe for a thirteen-year-old girl who doesn’t want to talk to me, I talk about less and less family oriented things. Oh, sure, I still try to keep it “clean” enough for her to read, if she should so desire, but I’m afraid I talk about things that would mostly bore her now. Discovering who I am and what I want out of a relationship and how sad it is that her mother is so, so bitter even though she left for “greener pastures” and just what really matters most in life. Of course, she’s getting to be that delicate age when those kinds of things do start to matter. To the girls, anyway. At thirteen, the boys generally think girls are just wierd, as I recall. (Honestly, I’m not sure much has changed for most of us! I like ’em, but they’re still a little weird to me.)
I don’t worry about what my ex-wife might read what I post. Frankly, if she’s still reading at this point she deserves to see that I’m happier without her than I was with her. That dose of reality might do the Harpy some good! Nor, do I worry about relatives, old or new or somewhere in between. Of course, my friends mostly know all this already, so, no worries there. I do try to keep it clean for future employers, though, which is why I have a delay on my comment moderation system. Just in case someone, or something, tries to hammer my blog with spam, I can kill it all.
But, still and all, the trend has been toward personal posts of increasing adultness. Eventually, I’ll probably end up bloging about new girlfriends, when I find them, and more about my explorations of spirituality and culinary grace. Eventually, I suppose, I’ll do something more interesting at work, and then, of course, I’ll write about that.
In any case, you’ve been warned.

  1. I like your “adult” posts. I think you are a good writer when you delve into everything you are facing. Not that your technical posts aren’t interesting. My geek level is high compared to those around me, but low compared to true geeks!

  2. P.S. Now if you wrote about Macintosh, that would be another story! Haha….
