I'm not a Private kinda Girl

Slowly more and more people have gotten onto the private blog bandwagon. I admit I have also thought about maybe doing the same thing so I can control exactly who is visiting my blog. The thing is though....I don't care about the random strangers that happen to come across my blog.

The only reason I ever considered it was more because of acquaintances that are secretly spying on my life and not letting me know they want to know everything about me (the ones that creep onto my blog and never leave a comment). Of course I try to be smart about what I put on here so it really doesn't matter. I think it is weird when people decide to spill their guts about every aspect of their life on their blog. It's just depressing reading about how much their life sucks. (And I'm not talking about the occasional bad day.)

Anyway let me get back to the point - I recently found out a friend of mine had a blog and was scanning through some of it when I came across this! It was exactly what I needed to read to never consider going private again! It's a cool little story about how she lost her wallet in Germany and got it back because someone found her blog online. Read it for yourself!

I also think it is cool when people google some topic and your blog comes up. Kinda like what happened to my friend Cassidy for this blog entry! I mean some people even started a whole forum to discuss her opinion. That would never have happened if Cassidy decided to have a private blog.

So that my friends is why I'll never go private. When I google my name, my blog is the first thing that comes up and I kinda want to keep it that way.

Unless the title of their blog is, "Every post will be about my depressing life," you may want to consider that the person was having a bad day. It happens.

Yeah - not talking about the occasional bad day.
