This solves a few problems – chief among them that if you write the post in Word first, then you won’t lose the goddamned thing when Blogger takes a powder. It also helps to eliminate all those pesky spelling errors that some judge make you look like a great big ol’ Mow-Ron.

I haven’t been feeling very inspired to write much in Kangatopia lately. Not because I don’t have anything to write about – Oh, I do – but because I have fallen victim to self-censorship.

This is another thing I’ve learned. Self-imposed or imposed-by-others censorship is just another way for other people to try to control yer life, and another means by which to feel insecure about the decisions you make, the things you do or don’t do, and all the other million and one ways of bowing to the personalities in your life who think they have you all sorted out and have found you lacking.

However, now I have either alienated or become alienated from most of the cast of characters who would find their way into this blog if I weren’t refraining from writing about them. Since said alienation has taken place, I am no longer fearful that they will read this and use the blog as a way to dig their snarky little daggers into my faltering self-confidence.

So, to anyone who might read this and hate me for it, then I’m glad that I can provide you with somewhere to channel your aggressions. Or, you know, you don’t have to read.|||111029874488349738|||Bitter
