I started my blog two years back. It was kept anonymous at the beginning so I could share intimate things without the fear of being discovered by someone who I knew. It was therapeutic, it helped me clear my thoughts.

However finally I decided to share my blog with my friends and family members. All old sensitive posts were hidden, and all new posts are rather, well, boring, like book reviews, restaurants I’ve visited, my travel diaries, etc.(life of ordinary people, who would be interested?). My friends can understand me more deeply by reading what I write. It is constructive, but I do feel more vulnerable now. It is no longer a good outlet for me…

Thank you Kaz, I have been looking to this singer, nice very nice girl, beautiful I have to say, and a warm voice that I like very much. Even I don´t understank anything I like to listen a good singer always.
I would like really to start a blog, but it seems very difficult as I have so few things to talk about and allways the big question should be…..a blog of what ???. Now that I am seeing the tv. serial FRIENDS, the ten complete years I would like to talk about it. Also what seems very odd is that I have not seen only one of this tv. serial before, and just because I saw here that the majority of friends of ESL voted it as the best serial to improve English I got it completely and now my wife and me are just stick to it every night.
Of course it is great, I laugh a lot with it and like Friend very much. ”
So I am prepared to start a blog about FRIENDS, but I think I am out of time, sure. Now is better to talk about “Sex in New York”, or something similar that a don’t see of course.
Often I have thinked that only when we have problems we are in good condition to write, because we are more sensitive, we have more things to talk about. But if we are happy it is just very difficult to write o to make a poesy. We need to suffer to do such a kind of things.
Regards.

Blogs is a fun way to show opinions. I myself have my own blog and write for friends and students. I also choose to create a english mail group instead of an english blog why interactions are more fast and easy.

If I started a blog I’d write about the things happening in my life ,it would be like a diary.But the thing is I suppose I’m too uncomfortable as to tell people who are completely strangers to me about my private life, so if I’d write one,it would be anonymous. I don’t think this kind of blog would be useful for me,but it might help other people with the same situations and problems in their life that I have.Although If I tell you the truth my life is as boring and ordinary as everybody else,so I guess nobody would be interested in reading it,let alone if they didn’t even know my name!!! Would you be interested in reading a blog from a person who doesn’t let you know his or her name?I certainly not.

I agree with Lucy says. Some people has a dog as a medicine other has a cat or some pet, and the doctors say that is a very good idea for people who feeling alone. They can speak with your pet as if it was a person, even as if it was your better friend.

Likewise I think there are many other people that they also feel alone, or they are shy, or introverted, or due to some other reason, they search blogs in internet to speaking with other people about something interesting to them. In fact I have a friend who he is divorced four years ago and he met a woman in a blog two years ago and both are now a couple enviable.

By the way, I’m looking for some blogs to talking with people (in English language of course for improving it) who they like cruises, because I have taken three pleasure cruises and they liked to me very much, but I haven’t found any yet. Does anyone know some blog?.

Greetings.

Hi,
I have started my blog unintentionally here, in ESLPod.com, when kind-hearted Jeff has published my lyric about my intimate feelings related to a broken heart on July 3, 2008. Seven sensitive responders have tried to help me in many different ways. As it was a type of semi-confessional, semi-anonymous blog, it has combined two of functions listed by nice Lucy: creative (two poems) and therapeutic – giving consolation and advices, how to stay, to live with such a feeling. Great thanks to all my dear friends: LOL, Emiliano, Linus, Katherine, Amy, Sean and Naresue. For all of you I would like to dedicate the Polish song by Anna Jantar: “Don’t believe me, don’t trust me” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWD0J9loLlM (my translation).
Yours,
Kaz

Instead you’ll say something hold peace
Prior you’ll say something reflect
Cause saying you can fail
But you can keep quite like poet

You have so many virtues
You have so many virtues
You have so many faults
So many beautiful faults
However

Don’t believe me, don’t trust me
Cause I’ll sleep out of your hands
It isn’t true that in few days
One wins a girl

You will guide me
You will lead me
Through the trust threshold
Where you could have me as yours

But I’ll escape from you
But I’ll sneak out
And you won’t be able
And you won’t be able
To take me

Don’t believe me, don’t trust me
Cause I’ll sleep out of your hands
It isn’t true that in few days
One wins a girl

Don’t believe me

Well I agree completly with what psychologist say about blogs, and it is quite difficult that I agree with doctors usually, but I have been writting a diary nearly 12 years and it makes me feel better doing it that if I didn´t, that is for sure.
But a starting a blog?. I don´t have any ideas that may be interesting for other people, and you need to have something that may be of some interest for blogers.
Last year when I told here that my wife was bad, I have a lot of sympathy from other persons all over the world, followers like me of ESL, and it makes me feel better and very thankfull to all them.
So, that´s true. What psychologist say was for certain and I could see it myself.
