Blogging purpose/Father's Day

As i sit here on a saturday night, i wonder a few things. Why do people do this? What is your reasoning for it? The reason i ask has a couple parts. First off, some of you may have known or read about my sister, Marie. She has a blog which was alot of fun to read for many reasons. I was able to get to know more about her through her writing, and she has a wonderful writing style. She stopped blogging a couple months ago, not for any major reason in particular, but she just feels she's done with that. Blogging served it's purpose for her in a time of transition in her life. The last post she wrote is very telling about her in her life. She is doing well if you wonder, but has decided to move on.

I started this blog at a time in my life filled with much uncertainty. I didn't know where i was going or what i was doing in my life. My title is telling of that, i felt that i was someone who rambled, not making much sense out of my thoughts or actions in life. I have since found direction and purpose, finishing my computer training school in february, graduating as validectorian of my class, got my first job in the IT field and am on my career path for success. I started to write again just as a means to express myself to others. I have a close group of friends in my life that i confide in and trust. There's just something about being able to express your thoughts that makes me feel better. A couple of my friends know about this site, but i'm pretty sure they stopped checking it out when i went on break. Which is good for me, not for any big reason, just that right now i have thoughts in my mind that may make certain relationships become different.

I just found out that my ex has her own blog about her life. Good for her, but part of me is afraid that she'll find out about my site. I don't want her to know what's goin on in my life in great detail. I know she's moved on in her life since we broke up, hell she has a kid now with her new boyfriend, but i have a feeling of privacy that i don't want her to know stuff about me. We'll see if she's able to find out about me. I never told her i had a blog, but something tells me she would try to find out if i did have something.

Tomorrow is Father's Day, and it will be a low key event with my family. Marie came over to my parents house and we all went out to lunch at a peruvian restaurant that my dad likes. Great food, great company, and a nice quiet day. We celebrated today cuz my dad is getting ready to leave for Spain on monday, and needed tomorrow to get his work organized and needs to pack. I love my dad very much, he's been such an inspiration to me on how to overcome adversity, what hard work and dedication can reap, and how to be a loving father and friend to me. As i get older, i understand and appreciate all the sacrifices he made for me and for my sisters. He sacrificed career advancement to make sure he was at every baseball game and soccer game i ever played. He always attended my sisters' softball/tennis/ballet event that they took part in growing up. I just wanted to write about how much I love him and am grateful to have a good relationship with him now as an adult.
