Thinking about a blog

I am still debating with myself whether to start the blog again or not. Truth be told, I did start once, not long ago, mainly because a) I have something to say, b) I had nothing better to do. Why I am debating with myself now is because I still have quite a bit to say, and might like getting my thoughts on paper, and yet am aware that Blogging is not the type of thing I follow through.

Furthermore, now I really have "better" things to do, in that my social life has blossomed in comparison to the time at which I started my former blog. Not that much has changed, mainly just the fact that I moved to a new city. Another reason why I'm not sure is because I would like people to know I am the one doing it, so not anonymous, and share it with friends and acquaintances.

The question that poses is, do I want my friends to know the thoughts I intend to publish if I do the blog. Many of the lines of thought I pursue at the moment refer to a reflection of my place in society as a whole and how I interact with it, which happenst to build a stark contrast to the way others interact with the world.

I am aware that a big portion of it is my intelligence, and my education both in the sense of what my parents taught me and in the sense that I've been priviledged by attending a very good college and universities. I am also aware that my experience as an expatriate has changed my worldview and expanded my horizons in a greater way than I thought it would.

Finally, the other thing I might like publishing in order to expand my audience, is my experience at the wine tasting events I orgnize for an expat community. and here's where it gets more complicated. I can blog about that in the platform in which I organize the events, but probably just about the wine, and not about the whole experience. I'd like, however, to relate my experience and the enrichment that meeting the people in the group has brought me.

So do I really want to relate this thoughts, publish them to the world and let other people know about this particular group? Do I allow others to read my, yes sometimes quite arrogant and sometimes elitist, thoughts? My posts will be open to misinterpretation, specially since I strongly believe we're not all born equal, but society as a whole should be egalitarian.

And this is the first misinterpretation for me egalitarian society allows equal opportunities, not equal results. So I land at the right of the political scale, but I am not conservative, I am liberal. So a review of how the political spectrum is defined (with probably a short explanation of why right is right and left is left) might be necessary.

I will leave this short post for now, and sleep on it to decide whether I want to do the blog or not. If you're reading it, then this might be the first in a series of postings, but I cannot promise I'll keep at it for a long time.
