I've seen the grainy scan (above) from a newspaper but I'm waiting until I get my grubby hands on a better version before posting.

"im so horny... talk dirty?x"

I started a MySpace account a few weeks ago as it was the easiest way to keep up to date with various podcasters and bloggers. There's not much information on there but there's clearly enough to have provoked the following message that I woke up to this morning:

"jus saw ur online... im so horny... talk dirty?x "

I didn't know who it was from so I clicked on the profile and it turned out that this was from a twenty one year old straight guy from Ireland. Don't get me wrong, he looked like a really cute guy, but WTF? As if I'm going to jack off with some stranger who can't even spell. I do have some standards. Not many, but I cling onto those that I still have!

What happens when your ex blogs about your relationship?

I was browsing through the New York Times earlier today at work and one article really caught my eye: When the Ex Blogs, the Dirtiest Laundry Is Aired. The article examines what happens when you're in a relationship (or recently out of one) and you find out that your partner has been blogging all about your intimate life:

"...in an era when more than one in 10 adult Internet users in the United States have blogs... many people are using the Web to tell their side of a marital saga. Despite the legal end of a marriage, the confessions can stretch toward eternity in a steady stream of enraged or despondent postings."

Some partners end up attempting to sue their partners in an attempt to remove the blog content but, according to the article at least, there has been little success in doing this.

Someone once said to me that, despite what appearances may be, no one ever truly knows what goes on in a relationship behind closed doors except the people who are in that relationship. Now, thanks to blogging, we can somewhat have an insight to what goes on. One-sided perhaps, but we're definitely invited to take a peek through the keyhole or hold a glass up to the wall.

When I started this blog over a year ago, it was so I could have my own space to write about the things that interested me, from telly shows to favourite actors, music or whatever videogame I happened to be playing. I also had the occasional personal post about what was happening in the relationship I was in at the time. The personal stuff wasn't the focus of the blog, in fact it probably took up no more than 1% of the content.

You won't find any of that content today though. The ex that I had written about stumbled across this blog, was very upset about the views that I had expressed and demanded that I removed all content which had any reference to our past relationship. Since my intention with this blog wasn't to upset anyone, I agreed to remove this content which must've taken me all of five minutes to do, seeing as there was so little of it.

It was difficult for me to remove it though, as I felt that the personal content was good for the blog and allowed some insight into what was going through my head at the time. I read other blogs from all over the world which have plenty of day to day personal content and it seemed a shame to remove what little I had managed to write in my own.

So, what do you think about this issue? Should we put everything in our blogs, even at the risk of hurting the feelings of the people around us? Or should we edit out all the personal stuff?

Death by blogging!

Can blogging actually kill you? The New York Times seems to think so!

They work long hours, often to exhaustion. Many are paid by the piece — not garments, but blog posts. This is the digital-era sweatshop. You may know it by a different name: home.

A growing work force of home-office laborers and entrepreneurs, armed with computers and smartphones and wired to the hilt, are toiling under great physical and emotional stress created by the around-the-clock Internet economy that demands a constant stream of news and comment.

Of course, the bloggers can work elsewhere, and they profess a love of the nonstop action and perhaps the chance to create a global media outlet without a major up-front investment. At the same time, some are starting to wonder if something has gone very wrong. In the last few months, two among their ranks have died suddenly.

Of course, there's no actual proof that their deaths were causing by blogging, but they both died from heart attacks and the article wonders if the stress of professional blogging may have contributed. I don't quite agree with the conclusion that the article some to and I think that anyone who allows themselves to suffer with stress and work too much is not thinking about their health irrespective of your job. After all, once you're dead, what are you going to do with all that money you earned?

As you may have noticed, if I'm not in the mood for blogging, I don't do it. Sometimes I just don't feel in the mood, or I'm simply too busy. I have to admit that I do feel a twinge of guilt about it when I don't blog, but do I stress out over it? Absofuckinglutely not. Then again, I don't make any money from this as I write for fun, not profit. I don't even have adverts. It's been suggested to me and I've thought about it, but I find all that very distracting whenever I'm reading someone else's blog so I've resisted doing it so far and I've still no plans to do so.

Anyway, to put death by blogging into context, Radar helpfully compiled a list of other dangerous professions resulting in death:

Coalition forces in Iraq: 4,015 (since 3/19/03)
Law enforcement: 186 (2007)
Construction: 1,192 (2005)
Transportation and warehousing: 885 (2005)
Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting: 715 (2005)
Commercial Fishing in Alaska: 641 (1990-2006)
Blogging: 2 (to date)

Makes blogging from home seem kinda safe, doesn't it?

What brings you here?

I haven't looked at this for a while. My statcounter has all sorts of information including which words are input into search engines resulting in a visit to my blog. The most recent searches are as follows:

dolce vulva
rhydian roberts shirtless
cristiano ronaldo's nipples
david gandy calendar
age appropriate
dominic purcell gay kiss
ginch gonch boys
eugen bauder nude
bristol stool chart
mitch hewer

bonnie parker lesbian

jason lewis aero
garrett neff

wentworth miller girlfriend 2007
aussiebum sizing

serena william nude
jason yeager, shirtless

Now, some of those searches I totally get and I expect that readers find exactly what they're looking for. But some of them don't make any sense to me. I mean, who the heck is looking for shirtless photographs of Rhydian Roberts? I guess it takes all sorts and I'm not one to judge (well maybe a little bit) so I've had a look and found a picture and posted it. There are others, but that's the only one that didn't make me want to horp.

As for the person looking for information about Wentworth Miller's girlfriend - good luck with that. Well, ok you didn't hear this from me, but you may want to try searching on the interweb for information about Luke MacFarlane. Just don't tell Wenty that I told you.

Back up and running

First, the good news - my MacBook is back from repair and I'm up and running again. Now for the bad news - my hard drive failed and they couldn't save any of my data so I've had to start from scratch and reinstall everything so now I've got a fun evening of running updates to look forward to.

Yeah, I know I should've backed-up, but who the hell does that? Even the guy at Apple's Genius Bar had to admit that he never backed up so it's just Sod's Law. Anway, there was nothing super-important on the hard drive, just a stash of porn and tv show downloads.

Oh, that reminds me, someone wanted to know what porn I had on there so I've had a little think and here it is: a Bel Ami film Greek Holiday; a couple of Corbin Fisher clips with Lucas (my favourite!); and a couple of Sean Cody clips with AJ. All rather innocent and harmless. In fact, I was quite impressed with my restraint!

My MacBook is in the repair shop - no blogging for me!

My poor ol' MacBook has finally had enough! Any piece of electronic hardware that I have always gets a rough deal as I'm super-maladroit. My MacBook has been white-knuckling it for the past few months. Luckily, it's still under warranty so I rang Applecare this morning and they arranged for me to pop into my local store and go to the Genius Bar.

Basically, my hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. No, I haven't backed up my data (who does?) so I've lost everything. Plus, I have to admit that one of my first thoughts was "Um, how much porn exactly is on there? And what genre?" I'm sure I'm not the only one to have such thoughts!

Anyway, they were very professional and organised at Apple so I was very impressed with them. Unfortunately, I am going to be without my computer for a few days so there will be no updates. I've just popped on using the horrible PC computer at work but I shouldn't really.

No interweb for me a few days, how am I going to cope? I'm already starting to get the shakes!
