Talking to myself and feeling… transparent?

Working on Transparency

Here we go boys and girls.

I had a good “talking-to” with myself about this blog last night. If I’m going to do it – I need to do it right. By “right”, I mean don’t hold back.

Me – Me – Me. Whether you do or don’t know. Whether you do or don’t approve. It’s all the same me. Just your perception changes, not “me”.

Besides, how selfish and egotistical am I to be so concerned about “me”, and not you? What if we know each other and something I say, think or do – and report here hurts your feelings or embarrasses you? That’s totally. Not. Cool. I won’t do that – at least not on purpose.

So here’s the deal.

1. I WILL do this right. It may get off to a slow start in the TOTAL transparency department. I’m a private person. At the same time, I don’t have much to hide …not much. So, I won’t hide much …not much. and
2. Most names will be changed to protect …primarily the innocent. The rest of you – just because I’m a stand-up kinda person and it’s the right thing to do. If you know me and are concerned – here’s your chance to voice your opinion. I’ll appreciate it if you’ll voice you opinion here, in the open, on this blog. Otherwise, send me an email.

In the meantime, Jeff (aka IP for those of you in-the-know) is sending countless IM’s on Google. Now that I’ve finished this post I’ll see what he’s doing. Clearly he isn’t in town. He tends to call or “pop in” when he’s on a trip and hasn’t much better to do.  My guess Jeff is somewhere a) unexciting, b) exciting but it’s the middle of the night there and there’s nothing to do (he flies the international routes), or c) he’s somewhere for his annual training. Pilots. pffft.

Jeff, I love ya, baby – but it would be nice if you made it a little less obvious that our friendship was based on when you had nothing better to do…  But, I accept that we should love people for who they are – not who you want them to be.

Just sayin’.
