Life and the things that happen in it...
Hey all,
Things are good. At least two of the tepary bean plants have come up. We got the first monsoon storm last night. Earthshaking thunder, stobing lightning and the smell of rain in the desert. One of the wonderful things about the city in which I live.
Been doing a lot of random housework, putting in a gate, clearing debris, etc. Hmm. What else? Oh yeah, one more thing.
I've made most of the entries in this blog private for a particular reason. Why, you might ask? Because a number of people I know and tangentialy know apprently have little or nothing going on in their own lives. And they enjoy perusing this journal for whatever amusing little tidbit they can then glean and pass amongst themselves like a bowl of warm beandip. Frankly, I've never had a problem with that if people have their own journals and are willing to share their own thoughts/feelings about whatever is going on. And usually I don't have a problem with voyeurs just passing through as long as they keep their thoughts to themselves and I don't have to hear about the gossip from third parties.
Anyway, I made the mistake of leaving an entry visible a few weeks ago and lo and behold, have heard about it from a few people, friends of mine, who have been viciously pumped for whatever gossip/salacious tidbits these people didn't have the imagination to simply make up themselves. Besides the obvious annoyance this has caused, it has also wounded me somewhat to find that folks who are obstensibly friends of mine have been trolling others for info about me, rather than simply calling and asking me personally what is up. This leads me to believe that any concern they might have is not for me or my well-being, but simply a prurient interest in gossip about me. I would ask therefore, that these people stop it. And I would also like them to rest assured that I will not make the mistake again of leaving anything interesting in this journal public.
Good day.
I said good day sir!
