DISCLAIMER

Here it is. Months later, I'm finally going to lay down the law around here. Starting this blog may not have been my brainchild, but I'll be damned if it doesn't play by my rules now that I've started it. If somebody wants to criticize what I post, what I tell the world, well, they can start their own. Or they can comment. Go fucking crazy.

So here's the new rules:
1. This blog is mine, and mine alone. Therefore, it will be written as anything I do: in my own voice, in my own style.
2. For readers including friends, family, potential employers, etc. this means a few things. I will write what I want, how I want. The language I use is highly calculated, whether it is clean or vulgar. The jobs I am looking for should realize that I write for my audiences, and, seeing as how I am this blog's main audience, I'll write for me. The next most likely candidates are the rest of the blogosphere, most of which are probably around my age and used to plenty of darkness, swearing, and other hilarity. Therefore, I won't censor for them, either, as they likely won't ask for it.
3. To employers, this means that what I write is not all of what I am and what I can do. As I am discussing the teenage/early 20s life, college, and all the other goodies of this time frame in my life, I write in a style for that purpose. I've held plenty of jobs, none of which would probably like me to use this discourse while I'm on the clock; that's because of their medium. Those around Papillion will tell you that I didn't swear in class, and I never divulged feelings to McDonald's customers. Anyone who got me on the phones at Oriental Trading will speak more of my kind demeanor and pleasant tone than of some dirty jokes I passed on. That was wrong for those places, so I didn't use it. Likewise, when hired to any position under someone who has read this blog, I will use whatever rhetoric you like for the specific project or job.
4. For everyone else, don't get too scared by all this. I won't tell you every little detail of my life here. I still plan to keep some stories in my back pocket. I don't need the entire internet knowing about my whole life, so I won't put it out there for them.
Those who want all that detail, well... You're gonna have to deal.

With all that said, I hope you enjoy what's posted. Otherwise, it's a free web, you can close your browser or go someplace else; you have that right just like I have mine to speak as I wish. Readers' support and comments are always welcome, criticism, too!
