I BLAME IT ON OPRAH
It was only a little over a month ago when I swore on all that was holy and good that I would NEVER keep any kind of record of my thoughts again. I won't go into an explanation of why as most of you know the reason and would probably agree that I should stick to my conviction. And yet, here I am typing out my thoughts that I'm sure someone, someday, somehow will take and use against me. Under other circumstances, I would sound somewhat conceipted and self-important by saying that, but anyone who knows me and recent fiasco I like to call "Journalgate," would have to agree that for me, journal keeping of ANY kind is just NOT a good idea. Keeping records of our thoughts and feelings, who EVER said that was a good idea in the first place? I'll tell you who - OPRAH WINFREY!Time and time again I listened to that billionaire bitch talk to me about finding my spirit through journal keeping. "Write down your thoughts," she said. "Write down your dreams because that will take you one step closer to making those dreams come true." Blah, blah, f*cking blah! She failed to mention that if you write down your private thoughts, then you are actually keeping a record of them and that someone could someday read your private thoughts and your life would be turned upside down. Just think about it folks and put it all in perspective. If you write down your private thoughts and create a record of them, they are, by definition, NO LONGER PRIVATE! This is NOT rocket science, and yet Oprah and her brain washing powers led me and so many other people, I'm sure, to start keeping a journal. How many lives has she ruined I wonder. How many people have had their inner most thoughts and feelings discovered by another person and their whole lives turned upside down as a result. I bet we'll never see an episode on her show about THESE people ! I bet we'll never hear her talk about the "thousands of letters" she's received from those journal keepers whose lives she's ruined!
Once upon a time I thought Oprah was the living end. I would quote her constantly and try and incorporate her wisdom into my own life. WELL LOOK WHERE THAT GOT ME! So I'll enter into this new world of blogging, fully realizing this time around, the consequences that it may have. And although I blame you Oprah for causing the Journalgate scandal of 2006, I guess by typing this disclaimer, I have let you off the hook for when this new blog of mine comes back to bite me in the ass!
