Do you ever feel like you’re being watched? Well, I do. But it isn’t that I don’t want to be seen, I just don’t like being scrutinized for the sake of complaint. Or investigation. I write a lot of things here: some for me, some for Tony, and some for you all.
However, I don’t understand why some people insist on reading simply to ask me what something means or who someone is as if I am a part of a conspiracy. Why can’t you read and tell me that you liked what I wrote, or that I made a good point? Or even that I have confused you, or that you disagree. Can’t you tell me that what I do has merit? A little bit of validation would go a long way. All we need is love.
Me and Mr. Jones 
Is there a need for you to be watched?
hello ominous anonymous…no, and that’s the whole point. i’m not really sure why i inspire suspicion. is that spelled correctly?
Well…all I know is that there are two sides to every story. Maybe you should look a little harder at why you someone might be suspicious of your actions. You may find the answers you’re looking for.
interesting point, anonymous, except you are missing the point. i’m simply annoyed that my creative endeavors are ignored by someone whom i would love to be a part of them. it just feels like they are checking up on me, and obstinately refusing to give any sort of postive feedback. to me, the issue is with “big brother” and not with me. trust is scarce. and ironically, “bb” seems to project a lot, looking for me to be doing things that they seem to do. or, more to the point, i keep this blog as a creative outlet, and i work hard on it, and i have outside readership, which is nice, but i would like for those close to me to read it for what it is, and not as an outlet for spying or concern.
Ahhhh…Tony….I may not be the only one missing the point. While your “bb” may annoy you by not being a part of your blog, you may annoy him by the actions that you take; thus, causing him to “spy” on you. Although it’s not really spying since it was your idea to create the blog and say what you say.I guess that’s why I said there are two sides to every story. Maybe he doesn’t feel the need to give you positive feedback on your blog…maybe he doesn’t like it. Why should he have to be a part of something he doesn’t want to be a part of? If he doesn’t give you ANY positive reinforcement, you should get rid of him. You would be better off with someone who gives you the encouragement that you wish you had.
Well, A, you sure assume a lot about me. And about the gender-ambiguous “bb” i mentioned earlier. Which leads me to believe you are closer to the situation than other readers.Being said, I appreciate your comments. And for reading. As for your advice, I’m sure you know that I’m not devoid of positivity in my relationship. And this issue isn’t about anything more than some empathy of my feelings. My explaining how this “spying” makes me feel. sure, there’s no reason for him to make up compliments, but i find it hard to understand that i’ve never written anything of interest to him. but the only time it comes up is to find out who someone is or what someone wrote. and that’s it, really. like i said before, i’m glad you or anyone else checks out this blog. i wish you a lovely evening. and i’ll give “bb” a kiss for you.
