I'm having a blogging identity crisis. Don't know what i want to say, don't know how open to be in my blogs and don't know how much of myself to show.

I don't want to blog about superficial non personal stuff all the time anymore. It's getting boring and there's no point. It's a waste of my time and a waste of the readers time, when people can easily just read up on the latest mobile phone, gadget, fast car or windows vista ultimate penultimate grande silver platinum release on webpages that are dedicated to that kinda stuff. So why do i need to do it? There's still a place for the occasional funny youtube video or what not, but if every posts is like that then what's the point...

However, i also don't want to get too personal on my blogs like "this is what i had for dinner, and then i saw the cutest cat" cos as long as it's a public blog then i don't want everyone in the world to know things about me.

I want my blog to be about me though, because for me, the humble blog has evolved from being just a place to muck around with web design and graphics to a place that a few of my close friends and family go to visit regularly (as egotistical as it sounds) to find out about me. Friends and family who i am not able to contact on a regular basis and they're living overseas..

So why don't i just write emails to them you ask? Well, emails take a lot of time and they don't always reveal everything you're into. Email's can sometimes feel like a 20 second summary of your life and it takes away the personal aspect...which i think blogs somehow provide...

So where to from here. Three options.

1) Keep blogging as i do, blogging about impersonal things and offering my subjective views about the blog topic of choice.

2) Turn this into a private blog that require people to log in to read

3) Keep blogging as i do but get over myself and not worry that "random" people can read up about my life, my thoughts, my dreams and my desires on the wwww. In other words, keep the same format but just make it more personal.

Any other options that you can see? Which option would you prefer....yeah im talking to you....the person i actually know reads my blog. Need your opinion. There should only be about 3 or 4 of you at this point...
