Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

you know, i think it's kinda wierd for people to have journals online. don't get me wrong, i'm sure there are a couple of people who do like reading their friend's and complete stranger's words, but really, what purpose does it serve? why would someone write stuff about their personal life for anyone to see? (much like i am doing now) but if you look at my profile, you'll see that i have been registered with gaia much longer than my first journal entry. the reason? i guess the main one would be that (as selfish as it sounds) that no one would really read it. i felt 'why should i put effort into something no one will ever see?' but, then again, if you're reading this, then that means i'm wrong, and thank you for your time. but i think you might a little too much of it. mrgreen but seriously. to people who do read journal entries,a dn to the ones that write them, it's sorta like a diary, why would you want others reading it?
secondly, anyone. ANYONE can read what you've put up. and it's never, NEVER deleted. even if you put it to 'privat' even if you delete it. it NEVER goes away. so i't not like i can really vent in here because who knows if someone happens to be passing by and it just so turns out to be the person i thought was a jack a** and i expressed my elation for him in this journal? luckily, i don't use names. codenames, maybe, but no real names.

i hear that businesses now are doing background checks that can now search for all posts and blogs from your previous years (kinda creepy, because we've changed from the time when we were pre-pubesent and the time we are searching for a serious career) so i need to be careful what i say anyhow. this explains why i tend to put disclaimers in this oh-so-letigious society we call modern day and free. i mean come on, if you can't pray in school or say merry christmas without being sued, then i'm pretty sure that's some sort of infringment on free speech. (ok, i'll save my politics for when i'm really angry) but even though i'm for survelience (sp?) for the safety of the country, i don't see how a job and how you 'just wanted to kill the girl who stole your boyfriend' are relevent to national security. so i say, back off (please) mrgreen

oh,a nd to future employers that read this (if anyone does, if the first one to read this is my new boss, that would be sad) if reading this determines my employment, then that would be idiotic. but i hope my, like, totally AWSOME vocabulary, like, impressed you uber-much. mrgreen blaugh
PS: i hope i don't regret this in my later years.
