C-Mac's Blog
I've been blogging for almost 6 months now and I've enjoyed it very much. This blog is kind of my break from reality. I don't really get too personal on here. I don't elaborate on my love life, my sex life, my finances, or anything too personal. I like to keep things light and fun. Occasionally I will touch on a serious topic if it's something that is on my mind or if it's something that is happening to a friend. Is that a bad thing? Is it bad that I don't reveal too much about myself? I've been recently asked by two people (of course, females) why I never mentioned them, dedicated a blog to them, etc. It made me really question whether or not I am mean for not mentioning people in my life that are important to me. Shouldn't I be able to write what I want without feeling obligated to mention friends, girls I date, co-workers, etc.? I mean this is MY outlet to discuss what I want and I choose to keep it with the current "format." Perhaps, someday my writing style and topics will change. For now, this makes me happiest. What do my readers think?

Serious and light keeps it balanced and fun!
C-Mac, don't question what you write. Anyone (esp. a chick) who asks why you don't mention them, obviously is emotionally needy or has esteem issues, screw them.
I've known you 5 years, you are far from mean or selfish, let this be the oNE thing you do for you.
I love the randomness of your blog, so if you start getting to personal, it might take away from the mystery of C-Mac (but I'd love to see a pic of you).
Yeah, I agree with everyone else. Write about whatever you want. Don't be pressured into writing about friends/girlfriends who need to be validated somehow and think seeing their name in a blog will do it.
If it not broke....Don't fix it!!!!!
Why change something that's obviously working so well the way it is? If I could come up with all the entertaining stuff you do, then I'd never write anything personal either! :)
"I love you just the way you are"
Hey C-Mac, I TOTALLY agree with everyone here. You right what you want. It IS your blog. I've read some blogs that have "evolved" into other directions, and it was all good. As long as you're happy...
Hope you have a great weekend!
Girls you date? Ha! Don't you mean the last gerbil you bought? Hehehe I think you should write blogs the way you feel. In the long run I think it is a great representation of who you are at a particular time in your life. Get back to work!
sugar v, thought you were on vacation in Chicago, get a life!!! hahaha, sure u r not in San Francisco for the gay pride parade?
I fully believe you write what you want to write. Its not for anyone else to question. A blog is basically your own personal space to do your own thing, and its totally up to you what you write about.
Not to mention, I think you are doing a mighty fine job just the way you are!
I appreciate the feedback so far from everyone. Thanks for the kind words and advice. Before hearing these comments, I started to wonder if I was being an asshole by not mentioning certain people in my posts. If I were married, I'd naturally mention a wife, or kids, post pics and that kind of stuff. I just want this to be a fun outlet for myself and those of you who are kind enough to drop by daily. You are all great!
It should definitely be what YOU want it to be. Nothing else. Mine runs the length of personal and utter fluff, but that's just me. I wouldn't disclose anything on here that I wasn't comfortable telling a friend (especially since so many friends are fellow bloggers), and frankly, it saves me a lot of time in the morning from re-hashing a story 3 or 4 times - I tell them to read the blog!
I like the blog the way you have it! I am all for writing whatever you feel like, that is the whole point of blogging, a random outlet for whatever you deem fit!
I think fab-u-lick-ous!
I think it is selfish for anyone to expect you to write about them. If it is someone you've been dating for years, perhaps you could make mention of them. If it's a casual girl or friend, I would not even give it a second thought. I browsed through your blog for the first time, you seem to have a good following and you express yourself well. It's a good blend of everything, don't change it for anyone!
I absolutely love your blog. Although I write a lot of stories about my past, I rarely write anything about my present (except maybe for the occasional post about my kids).
Yours is one of my very favorites...don't go changin'.
one of the best blogs I have come across, don't change it. Write about whatever you want and don't let anyone influence you.
i like your blog. it is easy to forget that this is for venting and writing and not necessarily for people to read (of course that is a bonus - for the readers)
blogs are selfish moments.
There will always be critics. Just do what you love. Maybe, one day things will change and you'll want to write about them.
Slightly related: Steve Jobs gave quite a moving speech at Stamford which I thought was relevant:
