Deep, huh?

I want and like that, to the best of our ability (I suppose), clusterflock is an open system. I want, in addition to pointing out the life and times of others, to expose — the precise word — myself. Or, perhaps, I want, as we have discussed before, to curate myself. Regardless, I am impressed with the level of openness that adult entertainment performer Ashley Blue exhibits — again, the precise word — on her blog. I would like that level of comfort or courage about myself to present myself as she does (of course, we are talking the spirit, not the particulars, aren’t we?). But then the question becomes who wants to see my life revealed for what it is, or what I perceive it to be, unvarnished? Does it matter that, unlike Ashley, I am a man approaching 40 who lives primarily a private life. I’m interested in all these layers.

    Deron, you must be thinking, “So this is what they mean when they say ‘resounding silence’, eh?”

    Actually, I’ve been intermittently musing on this ever since you posted it. It is pretty deep, as a matter of fact. I want to give it the thought it deserves, and sometimes that means delayed commentary.

    oh, actually I don’t necessarily expect a response. questions can be rhetorical. I’m down with it.

    Questions can indeed be rhetorical.

    However, I’m reminded of this project, brought to our attention by Alek. Have you taken a look?
