Rant, the Blog

I feel like I need to apologize for not writing more in here, but it’s so hard to force myself to sit inside and write when the sun is out in full force.

I also struggle with how much of my personal life to divulge on this very public blog.  I have learned hard lessons in the past about how things you say (in writing) can come back to haunt you in a serious way, so I’m a little more reserved in my slightly more mature state.  It’s my predisposition to tell-all and I no longer feel like that is something I can or should do, but I do want to give enough of myself to be real.  I’ve also been reminded that I vocally shame people who hide crucial chunks of who they are just for the comfort of not having to deal with peoples’ prejudices toward this or that.  So that’s where I am.  I walk the line.  Heh.

I recently told someone that I prefer hard truths to comfortable lies, and I stand by that.  I’d rather know something that’s hard to handle than believe something false.  That’s how I become a better human being–by learning those hard truths and dealing with the aftermath of it, even if it’s struggling with and redefining my own ideas and beliefs about myself and the world around me.  It’s the people who prefer their heads in the sand that never learn and never grow and can never understand the people and things around them.  I don’t care what you believe in as long as you KNOW what you believe in.  You have to know the truth and the origins and the history of what you’re putting your faith into.  If you are urged by your religion to shun any literature or person that contradicts what you’re told by them, no matter how historically accurate, then you’re willfully ignorant.

I don’t know where that rant came from, but there it is.  Heh.  Anyway… I’m headed to another evening of SIFF Promo extra-ing.  This time in Pioneer Square.  I’m not sure if or who the local celebrity will be in this scene, but it has something to do with Microsoft.  Please god, let it be Bill Gates!  I’d love to meet that man.
