Whatever you say can and will be used against you in the court of "Blogs"

I've read some articles about blog users who've been fired from thier jobs because they've written blogs critcizing thier work environments or have posted confidential information/company secrets in thier blogs. In addition to that, I've read about friendships ending because someone talked trash about the other etc......Anyway, last night I've had my first expereince where a past blog I posted came to bite me in the ass (sorta kinda).
I had forgotten that I gave "J" the web address to this site/figured he'd never read anything, but he recently checked out my blogs and was offended by something I had posted about him on August 11th. I understand his annoyance, but as I told him I write what's on my mind and how I feel at that time. Also, what he along with other people fail to realize is that....when I write a blog, that's how I'm feeling at that particular moment in time. If I write a blog when I'm depressed, that doesn't mean that I'm a depressing person.

In addition to that, I don't write blogs that frequently and whatever blogs I wrote about him, took place before he and I supposedly "made up". He and I had broken off contact Earlier this year and over the summer out of the blue I get an invite to a party. Since we had stopped talking, I figured he just invited me at random/was looking for bodies to attend his party. Anyway, I'd later find out that was not the case and more importantly that he and I shared a mutual friend in "REKO".........Anyway, reread the blog I posted on the 11th for furhter details.

When it came to he and I, I'll admit I made my fair share of mistakes. Before "J" I had never dated a law student and I wasn't aware of how busy he truly was and maybe I shoulda appreciated the few times he did make for me. Also, I will admit it was kinda wrong for me find amusement when "REKO" snubbed "J", but at the time I was hurt and in his own words "we didn't work out because you couldn't understand how busy I usually I am and how I have to prioritize things". Although I did my fair share of wrongs when it came to "J" and I, I won't say that he's a saint eihter. I believe if he truly "liked" me he woulda made more time for me, he woulda taken the time to get to know me (beyond the bedroom) and hang out with my friends and I etc. He seemed to have time for "REKO", his many house partys, and to meet with his Libertarian friends etc.. Also, I was very open about my feelings towards him and literally wore my heart on my sleve. whenever I'd ask him how he felt about me or ask any questions in general, he'd always answer with vague answers such as "I don't know", "maybe", "We'll see", or "cool".

Anyway, I'm probably digging a bigger hole for myself and probably not winning any favors with "J" posting this blog, but I think I've learned my lessons about sharing my blog address to just anyone and for now on I'll watch what I post online because someone actually WILL read it and WILL take it out of context and WILL use it against me. Now I understand why some of my friends are not making their blogs public or deleting thier accounts alltogether.

All in all, It would be a shame if I never talked to "J" again, because I really did like him and still think he's a great guy. He'll definitley make one heck of a good lawyer or politician. When he's famous I'll probably be one of those who'll say "Oh I remember when".

Although it would be a shame if we don't talk again due to a prior blog, I've got other things going on right now such as my new job, the upcomming holidays, my grandmother's health, and some of the nice, new, and sexy people I'm currently talking to online. When it comes to these dating/relationship prospects, I'll just make sure I don't share my blogs with any of them or not write ANYTHING about them, but what fun is that?
