Privacy

Isn't it funny, how as a teenager I wanted to protect my privacy. I didn't really want to share my thoughts. God forbid, my mom should find my diary or journal or whatever. Such a faux pas would lead to a serious B.F. (bitch fit)! Now here I am years later and I'm blogging. I'm sharing my stories. My thoughts. My dreams. My experiences. I'm willing to let it all hang out. I guess this is irony at its finest.

Only now, I seem more at a loss about what to write about, because I'm cognizant of the repercussions from Corporate America if I disclose something they deem inappropriate. It's proven to be quite a hindrance and I wonder how other folks address this issue? I've even read about prospective employers doing internet searches on job applicants to see if they have a blog or participate in Newsgroups and, if so, what they write about.

Initially, I had set up the blog to be identified by initials only but, suddenly when faced with the need to name my blog, I couldn't come up with anything else, save my first name. Brilliant! LOL I've already committed the first deadly sin. I've considered starting anew elsewhere and personally emailing those I wish to maintain contact with the new URL. Only, that seems so...I don't know...Disingenuous?

Shouldn't I be willing to stand behind my comments and opinions? Thoughts, anyone? Although, I'd certainly feel less inhibited if I didn't have to worry about Corporate America or future employment prospects.
