My Apologies

It has come to my attention, recently, that family has stumbled across my blog [see my previous post's comment section].

I had always known that what I put up on this site would be for the world to see. And I never had a problem with that. Words that I have written here are words that I would not be embarrassed by if anyone would stumble across them.

The purpose of this blog is so that I can have a forum to speak my mind and exercise my writing. Most of what is written here is done so in jest and humor. The few times where I have been completely serious [for example, my views on social issues], I believe I presented myself in a mature and well spoken way.

Because I’ve never tried to be malicious, inconsiderate, hostile or insulting on my site, it never occurred to me that someone would take my writing as such. So when I was alerted that I had inadvertently insulted family, I was upset.

I think it is important for me to differentiate my opinions and my feelings. I don’t like country and rural settings. I personally could never live in such an environment because I am not cut out for such an environment. I belong in the cities, because that is what suits me. For me, I cannot understand the appeal that such a place has for others. That is my opinion. Trust that it is not reflective of how I feel towards my family.

I love my family. I disagree with them a lot, argue with them a lot and complain about them a lot. But they are my family, and I love and care for them. I may not always like what they say or what they do, but they are family, and I am forever bound to them.

Anything that has been written or will be written on this domain [or any other] regarding my kin is never meant to be malicious. I am not embarrassed by what I wrote, because I believe the content to be in jest and good humor. I am, however, saddened that family is so upset by what they have read.

I had always thought it was obvious that this site was a satirical one. Now that I know that some people, more precisely those in my family, are offended by my humor, I will do my best to curb certain topics.

I apologize for any misinterpretation of this site’s contents. It was never my intent to cause any harm. Especially towards my family.

I’m sorry.
