What About Jonny?
A lot of people, or a few, may read this blog and say, where's the personal stuff? But the truth is, I don't want to write too much in here that I wouldn't say in person. Can I say that I know my readers, honestly? I don't know. Once in a while, I'll get a comment from a friend who refers to something he or she read in my blog. What I don't get are many online comments posted at the end of my entries.
My friend Craig from Emerson has a blog and recently wrote an entry in which he said, "Blogs are mostly for friends anyway, even if they are viewable by the masses." He later wrote, "And let's be honest: Blogs are 90% crap." Crap? Is that what I'm writing? I don't think what I need to do is write entry after entry talking about blogs. It's a kind of journal, of course, but different that one I would keep privately. When a person writes a blog, he or she knows that just about anybody with internet access can somehow view that blog. Truth is, someone's mom could be viewing it, even if there's a lot of profane statements. Geez, maybe that's why I don't swear on my blog.
Well, to change the subject and refer to the title of this entry, I recently watched a lot of the movie "What About Bob?" a humorous take on a patient who follows his psychologist to his vacation home. The patient, played by the generally humorous (think "Saturday Night Live" and "Caddyshack") Billy Murray, appears to have no idea that he's totally violating the doctor-patient relationship and getting on his doctor's nerves. Playing the part of the psychologist is Richard Dreyffus, who seems to have a knack for playing angry men, but can also be a funny fellow. Check the movie out if you haven't.
Now I'm about to get some sleep. My, it's been getting hot up in Boston. Cheers.
