Leaving My . Behind

trying to maintain a sense of self-control...

Published on April 30, 2004 By crimson In Blogging

There are just some things that I should not read, that I stupidly click on anyway.

Why do I punish myself like this?

After reading the blog, of course I spilled out my opinion. I hit the Submit button. Immediately went back and clicked on the Edit button. Found I couldn't entirely delete my response and had to leave a period behind as a sign that read 'I did read, and had to retract my original comment.'

Everyone has a right to their opinion, no matter how wrong it is to me. I don't have the right to jump on someone's back and start shooting from the hips. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I get it.

I just wish I could have resisted in the first place.

I often wonder the same thing...but there are some things that I just can't pull my eyes away from--shock and horror.

I admire you for editing, and walking away. Some arguments are just not worth having...

Knowing when to walk away demonstrates an admirable level of maturity. Way to go.

holy hell, I thought this blog title had something to do with someone getting a hysterectomy...as in leaving my period (menstral cycle) behind....ha ha.

No really though, I'm lost, what are we talking about here?

Have a good weekend yo.

Applause not only for editing yourself but for having the testicular fortitude to write about it publicly.

It's hard to resist though....much respect to you for editing yourself.

I like how greywar put it best.

hehehe Ted... simply, I clicked onto someone's blog and knew that I'd be pissed off before I even opened it. I entered a hasty response, decided to delete it, and found out that I couldn't. You can't just leave it blank... you have to enter something. I left a period ( . ) because that was the end for me.

looking forward to hearing about how your weekend goes, later.

Well it's off to a pathetic start so far since I find posting here much more pleasant than running up pointless bartabs, I'm sure I'll put away a few shitty light beers friends have left in my fridge and fall asleep before midnight. Getting up at 5am during the work week is not conducive to good night life on the weekend....whoa is me.
