I am going to start filtering some of my more private musings. Since blogger does not have a tool for that, you will need to visit my Live Journal and ask to be friended there. I will continue to post Daily Gratitude and other subjects here. There is also a FAQ for my Journal at the same link.
| Thursday, February 13, 2003 @ 07:30 written 2/12/02 @1:10 pm during lunch break at work: A few weeks ago I told Darby I would be redesigning my Realm site. I planned to remove some things and rearrange others and move some pieces to this site. Her main concern was that I leave my Perceptions archive intact and available. I assured her I probably would. Now I'm not so sure. There are several reasons I'm rethinking my web presence and a few compelling arguments for removing archives of any kind. One of the things that attracts me about the internet is the dynamic nature of the beast. A site may be there today and gone tomorrow. Likewise, old favorites may suddenly sprout new content. You just never know. The constantly changing landscape appeals to this mutable Virgo. And websites that haven't been updated in months or years usually annoy me greatly. Given that the Realm hasn't been updated in months, I guess I'm annoying myself. If I'm not contributing to the vitality of the web, why am I taking up drive space and bandwidth? -- and paying for the privilege? As my boi and I build our life, I realize how little of what appears on the web influenced our development or provides resources for our relationship. I'm also not sure the world cares enough about a female master-boi ownership arrangement to keep it chronicled. Nor do they want to read the details of our late night conversations or see play-by-play on our bumps in the road. We're too intellectual (i.e., boring) for the fantasy-seekers, too calm for the romantics, and too simple for the philosophers. I'd much rather be beating my boi or putting together a puzzle while watching taped episodes of "Stargate: SG1" than debating the minutia of alternative sexuality or posting a scene report for some stranger to jack off to. Do I have opinions? Yes. Do I care which ideology or definition prevails? Rarely. Do I need to put together organized, articulate essays on my beliefs in order to further develop them? Not at this stage. Do I care about creating a reputation as some semi-mini online "expert"? Nope. In the past few months two people have e-mailed me for permission to reproduce content from Realm. I haven't had the time to devote to making a decision (of course, I lost the first request in an e-mail snafu, so I couldn't respond to them if I did make a decision). My ego enjoys the strokes, but it doesn't seek them. -----that's where my lunch break ended. I have more thoughts as I'm making these choices and another argument or two to post. I'll try to get back to it today.
