Censorship

Saturday afternoon when Jose came home he immediately got on the computer (not unusual). After about an hour I came in to see what he was doing and he gave me the strangest look. He wanted to know why he couldn't find my blog. I said that it must be there and kind of stalled because of what I'd just written about Barbara. I then offered to pull it up for him, but he said forget it and that he didn't want to read it anyway. He didn't care what I wrote about him and I told him I hadn't written anything about him. But he is very sensitive when it comes to Barbara and any kind of criticism about her or their relationship. When his nephew criticized their relationship one time, Jose stopped speaking to him for several months. So I was very worried about him reading my post and just stayed off the computer for the rest of the weekend. I swear that man has radar like you can't believe! The minute I write something about Barbara he wants to read my blog!! And herein lies the problem with letting your friends and family know that you have a blog. I do write my posts with the fact in mind that someone I know might read it and I do temper my words to some degree. But at the same time, I don't want to censor my words or topics because I'm afraid that certain people may read it. This is my personal diary and even though it is in the public domain, this is MY site to write about whatever I feel like. I honestly don't mind if people I know read my blog, including Jose, but I don't plan on defending ANYTHING I write in here. Read this blog at your own peril and if you don't think you can handle what I write, then DON'T READ IT! I was going to run to the computer the minute Jose got off and delete the post I had just placed and let him read my blog. But I would have to be recovering posts all the time, for fear of what he or someone else may read, and I decided what would be the point of having this blog then. I might as well buy a diary with a lock on it and delete this blog. So for anyone that I know and give the address to for this blog, read at your own risk and try not to get your feelings hurt or be upset about something I wrote. This IS my personal journal and I'm not going to censor my words or thoughts. That said.....Molly is taking her ARRT test this morning. I am SO nervous for her. I am praying that she passes this time and I would ask anyone reading this to pray for her too. Her future depends on passing this test! Good luck, Molly. I believe you are going to pass this time. Off to work.......
