I'm drunk with power
The idea of having my own blog for some reason gives me an overwhelming sense of power and control over my life ... because if someone does something that pisses me off or says something that annoys me, then I can just come here and write about it so that the whole world can see what an ass Marcus Schenkelberg is!
Except that I made up the name Marcus Schenkelberg because in reality I'm too scared to write anything bad about a real person that I have to interact with on a daily basis -- for example (purely hypothetical, of course), someone whom I work with.
Realistically, the odds of the whole world taking interest in my random rantings about what's going on at my workplace or who pissed me off at the bar last weekend are slim to none - especially given the fact that there are many people in the world who have to deal with real problems much more serious than mine.
However, there is always that slight possibility that someone who knows someone who knows me might somehow stumble across my blog in the vast spaces of the World Wide Web - and then that person could direct Marcus Schenkelberg to the post where I'm complaining about what a dickhead he is, and then old Marcus could get pissed and give me the heave-ho from my job -- or start his own blog about me and what a bitch I am.
So I guess that what I'm saying is that even though I feel drunk with power at the moment, in reality I will probably end up censoring myself pretty heavily on my blog here. I don't want Marcus to come hunting me down in the middle of the night.
