Words to live by…

I love to read Wil Wheaton’s blog. He’s one of the very few high profile personalities I’ve had the pleasure to read that is open and humble, more so even than most people who are nobody. Here is a piece of self-advise that he’s taking seriously. I’ve read Wil for a couple of years and he shares so, so much soul with his readers. I know exactly how he must be feeling about being accosted by creeps that take advantage of such openness and honesty. I’ll keep reading though. The man knows how to share thoughts…

I hate Reality TV, and I feel like my blog is dangerously close to crossing the line from ” this interesting thing happened to me” to “come with me while I take a shit in the woods.” I need to tell more stories, and bear less soul. You know what I’ve learned about The Internets? It’s full of freaks, and if a high-profile person bears too much soul, they really come out of the woodwork and latch on. It’s a little creepy. So, I need to reclaim a lot of myself for myself and my friends and family. If that means people stop reading WWdN, I’m really okay with that. In fact, I hope it has a bit of a Darwin effect.
