What is 'V' for?

There are all types of blogs saturating the Internet waves in this day and age. perezhilton.com started as a blog and has become one of the premiere celeb gossip sites. Some blogs are devoted to art; others to weddings. The vast majority are most likely just personal ones akin to Xanga with pictures, vids, and musings broadcast to the world. That was my goal with McBloggersen here.

The dilemma is boundaries. Vulnerability is a tricky thing; honesty, too. Putting myself out there makes me vulnerable, but being honest can create tension. I have made the mistake of putting a friend on blast on the Internet and it creating problems. That particular relationship was never the same again. I'd like to be completely honest, but my attitude and phrasing complicates translation. There are so many gray areas to tip-toe around. Despite my hard candy shell, I have a nougatty center that does not want to completely destroy other human feelings. I'd just do it to their face or the good ole fashion way with a one-armed knife fight a la the "Beat It" music video. Having Eddie Van Halen play guitar over the fight would be bitchin', too.

To be clear, I have been reserved with divulging info and brain droppings(see what I did there?). I'd like to purge all the thoughts in my head onto the electronic media, but who knows what would happen? Would people be concerned about me? Would feelings get hurt? Does anyone even read this thing? Maybe I'll test the waters and see. Gradually.

Also, I'm pretty sure I am using semi-colons completely wrong.
