First you see me, then you don't.

I've heard about the wonders of blogging,
The joy of sharing your intimate secrets with complete strangers.
I've heard that bloggers are good friends.
I've heard that most times, it pays to be as anonymous as possible.
People have given pointers here, pointers there.
Rules to make your blog work.
Guidelines to follow.
So, I'm not a very obedient person
I'm not into rules and regulations
I choose not to apologize for the stupid mistakes I make in my life
the stupid mistakes I will share here from time to time.
Readers may be pissed off
Readers may hate me and feel the need to hunt me down and kill me
But, there's so much hate in the world already
There's so much hate that I feel it's all on me
I haven't come to blogland to find love
I've only come to hide from the hate
To hide myself
Hoping, beyond hope, that I won't reveal myself by hiding.
