Dance Like No One Is Watching?

I've heard that phrase soooo many times...and seen way too few people do it.  I am guilty of it myself.  Apparently these guys below don't really care.  Which brings me to this short and simple post.

I'm curious...when I blog about something, anything, should I blog as though nobody is reading or everyone is reading?  Is a blog meant to let others know what is going on in this melon atop my shoulders, or is it a means for me to figure out what is in there to begin with?  There is a lot of stuff running around in my head.  I'm surprised it doesn't make me tired.  A lot of those marathon thoughts are truly interesting...some are just brittpratt (bullcrap).  I know those thoughts, I spend time with them 24/7...sometimes I wish I could escape.  =)  But I'd have to say that if really given the chance, some pretty cool thoughts could be put down for the ages.

The older I get though, the less I find people really care about the thoughts of others.  There are many valid reasons:

  • Finding the time to listen or read
  • Respecting the one whose thoughts are presented
  • Understanding their journey
  • Insecurity...feeling that the intelligence gap is too great
  • Just plain not caring
  • Or perhaps, like Siddartha, one desires to find and learn ones own lessons.
The last one is the most admirable, but the least applicable to 99.9999% of the people I am acquainted with.  Which brings me to the subject of my post.  It seems to be the way I can continually be known...to and by myself.  I have many that love me...but few that care to know me...save my Astri and myself.  I think that is enough of a reason to write now and then.  Enough of a reason to dance (or blog) like no one is watching (reading)...but I'll be looking in a mirror so I know how crazy I look.
