A Blog is Born

I am a regular blogger. I've seen my blog range between a few family members a week to 60,000 readers in a month. I found that having family and friends read my blog was difficult enough, but having an ex wife and work people reading my blog makes blogging more difficult. I practically stopped blogging because of the lack of anonymity.

I can write voraciously at times. But I find my writing neutered when I can't even complain about something at work without my boss knowing about it, and I can't complain about my ex-wife without causing problems for my kids. So, at the suggestion of my second wife, I've created this blog so I can write with passion instead of writing with worry.

I might bitch about someone. I might praise them. I might say "fuck." I might say "love." The point is, I can write whatever I want.

A few basics:

First, I will change the name of everything. For instance, my name is Mike.

Second, I will simply work for Innotech. I know, it's a lame Office Space reference, but it works.

Third, even my mom's name has been changed. Her name is now Mom.

Fourth, if by some chance you know who I am, either on purpose or by mistake, please please please keep my secret safe. If you were to divulge my identity you would, quite quickly ruin my life. I would lose my job (Innotech searches their employees' blogs every day), I could lose my kids (the court would not look too kindly on me bitching about my ex-wife), and I could lose my sanity (I'm here to get things off my mind). If you've been given the privelage of reading this blog, it's because I need an audience that does not include Mom, Lundberg from work, or my Ex.

I promise to be outspoken and honest. I will not hold back. I will speak my mind (as I used to do so freely). I will write until I can't write any more.

For those of you who stumble upon my blog, please, get the word out. I write to be read as well as to get things off my chest. The more the merrier.

Thank you for reading.

Mike (TRM)
