I don't worry about anything in the Internet age. I have been online since I was aware of it: 1985 in San Francisco. It has changed everything in my life. I would not want to even be alive in an era that did not have it because it is essential to our evolution as a species.

My brother was born without taste or the desire to be professionally lit.

And in my mind, this settles the issue. I would never drink cologne, and am therefore not an alcoholic.

Long marriages have ended in ruin over tiny and insignificant grievances that were never properly aired and instead grew into a brittle barnacle of hatred.

The dark side of blogging is, of course, people can be (and are) just savage and uncivilized, deeply cruel and fully unaccountable.

I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.

I'm always prepared for the worst.
