It has been a while since my last post on this blog. This is because I have been busy with other interests lately, such as setting up two other web sites, starting my graduation paper, college, and many others.

At the same time, this 'pause of blogging' allowed me to win time. My room mate (who is said to abuse any personal information for blackmailig other people) found out the url of this blog. Certainly, I would not like him to diffuse cherry-picked information of it; and I am unsure whether to believe his promise that he won't pass around the url.

This is not what I wanted. Blogging only makes sense to me if I need not fear any disclosure of my most personal thougths and feelings. The reason for me to blog is to put my thoughts into order and to get feed-back from people who understand them. Certainly, I do not want to run the risk of being blackmailed, defamed, or ... We all have thoughts and feelings that we don't want to share with everybody, right?

But then, things with my room mate suddenly changed a short while ago. There has been an issue with him that allows me to feel at ease; in the very meaning of it. Wonder why?

My room mate is a boarderline person. Not so much in the psychiatric meaning of it, but most certainly in the eye of the law. Yes folks, my dear friend who's lived with me for more than three years is involved in illegal activites on the web. Now, what does this mean for me? Several options for me arise from the fact:

#1: Do what the three wise monkeys would: see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
#2: Fear. Fear all. Fear that I will be made responsible for this.
#3: Become active and bring justice into his life
#4: Blackmail him. Either on a fixed or on a percentage basis. Monthly. In cash.

The list of choices that he implicitely presents me with is stupendous. I need not fear his 'blabbing out' my blog. Oh no.

Somehow this all reminds me of Tina Turner's song "better be good to me" from the mid-70's -- anybody remember?

May the posting and commenting continue!
