blogging paranoia

recently i haven't been the avid blogger as i have been in the past. there's a few factors that have contributed to this.

1. the general busyness of life
2. better time management skills??? less procrastinating in the blogosphere
3. blogging paranoia

i would say the third one is the main culprit. recently i've read quite a few disturbing articles about people who've lost their jobs because of their blogging. but really have i written anything that would warrant me losing a job? i don't think i've been heretical or blasphemous....the general gist is that i've been concerned with writing stuff that could come back to haunt me in a few years.

for example what if some dictator takes over the world, and considers my blog to be anti-him or anti- her and then throws me into jail just because i worded a few sentences wrong? extreme, yes i know. but on the other hand if you look at the reign of some authoritarian governments, which shall not be named, anything and everything could and was used to incriminate.

i digress. i've actually considered deleting this blog, and starting another one with a really inconspicuous web address. i never thought i'd say this, but i definitely cannot blog as i use to. there's tons of mental censorship going on. maybe it's for the better...you know showing prudence, wisdom, establishing good boundaries and such...

edit*
or maybe my blogging pattern has just changed. instead of blogging every so often. i do massive multi-entry updates like what i just did. these things have been brewing in my head...i just didn't get around to writing them.
