Overlooked 

I seem to have missed my own Blogiversary. I took my first, tentative steps into blogging on October 9, 2003.

Well...I've had the "vicster.net" domain for a few years now and was always planning to "do something" with it. When I was laid off of my job in 2002, I suddenly had more time on my hands to figure out exactly what I was going to do with my domain/site. I had the design planned and had the first set of articles written and...

...and then had an attack of "this will suck and everyone will laugh at me and think I'm an idiot" and I pulled the whole thing (and put up the "maintenance" page that sat there for 15 months).

There may be some who argue that I maybe should have left the maintenance page in place, LOL!

Thinking Out Loud has been going through some...I don't know, growing pains or something, lately. I've often said that moving through the world when you have a blog is a lot like always wondering if your fly is open. I know I've become a lot more self-conscious, especially in the last several months as I'm finding myself facing the age-old struggle of having a blog that people that I communicate with through my day job are finding. While I take great pains to not talk about work, except in the most general sense, there are going to be people who find things on my blog objectionable and counter to what they think my views on life should be, given my client list.

But I don't want this to be a Cat Blog, either. So, I hope you all will bear with me while I figure out what the next five years of Thinking Out Loud are going to be like.

I don't so much "shy away" as Outright Reject* 

 

You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion* but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.
