MISSING

I bet you have noticed my extended absence from this blog as of late and I bet this is not the first time you noticed me leave this blog for a period of time.  I can explain.  A lot of it has to do with life in general.. I have been extremely busy this semester not only with school but also with job/internship hunting and other life stuff.  As graduation gets closer, although it is still a year away, I start to get more wrapped up in the real world.  As a result, I have devoted most of my online time to cleaning up my Facebook (it was already professional but it didn't hurt to do some fine tuning), building a more advertising and job oriented Twitter network, and starting a LinkedIn profile for even more networking.  After realizing how all of these social networking sites can be used as tools to get jobs and meet people in my industry/field, I started neglecting my casual opinionated blog.  I am in a pickle of sorts.  I have had this blog for quite a long time so I don't want to flat out delete it because it is fun to look back on but at the same time I'm not sure how I feel about potential employers seeing my zany opinions.  A lot of what I write or post on here might come across completely different or badly to someone who does not know me at all and for the most part I don't care, that's part of what makes blogs cool.  On the other hand however, I don't want to make a bad impression on the people who matter.  What to do, what to do...

Sure I could just make my blog private instead of public but thats no fun.  I hardly have any readership as it is with my blog being wide open to everyone.  If I make it private I will probably never write on here again.  At least when it is public I have an excuse to post these pointless ramblings.  I'll figure it out but if you have pointers let me know.
