Identity Crisis

Since I have installed the Feedjit Traffic Feed for the blog, I've really enjoyed knowing where the blog stumblers are from. All the exotic countries, state/provinces and locales; there's an island east of Madagascar called Mauribius and oh the beautiful flags. I'm amazed how we are all able to connect through the Internet, even though it's just for a split second, even though someone thought this was a porn site and leaped out of here after realizing that it is another rambling site. (Click on Toni's blog quick!)

But I have enjoyed being able to share part of my life with the net, if not, at least I got to record it somewhere so after the human race has extincted and the aliens came to earth for archaeological digs a la Haley Joel Osmond's A.I., they can completely ignore my stuff.

Of late, I have shared a lot more about my life on this blog, including sharing my pictures and details about my life. It's liberating, sort of like a coming out ceremony, sharing my preferences and thinking to the world, but at the same time I realized how vulnerable it is leaving me. I use the same handle for a lot of different sites online. I guess I was trying to establish a presence online for god knows why, but if you type the magic word on Google, you'd be able to track where I was and what I've done, my entire web history and every single little comments I've made. And according to Feedjit, somebody managed to do just that.

Hasan Elahi, a Rutgers professor, was mistaken to be a terrorist and as a spiteful act, he started recording everything in his life, pictures of where he is, what he eats, who he's with, the bathroom he uses and a GPS coordination to the secretary of defense several times a day and on his websites. He overwhelms them with information and images and when it gets to be too much, it gets to be meaningless. He says it's very liberating and with his images, he has became a media artist.

I, on the other hand, am feeling quite vulnerable and wonder what I should do. Should I erase my blog entries like Jessica did? Thank god I never posted any nude pictures on any of the sites. By year 2050, probably everybody would have naked pictures online, even the president and associates. Everyone's history and dirt will be easily accessible. Recently someone is advertising the development of a new site calls TagMyTricks. Soon enough there would be a full description of everyone's physical attributes along with their skill level and kink preference as a lover available to view. I wonder what people would say about me, maybe I should create a few identities ready to boast myself. (The helicopter, baby! Read Pt. 2)

Should I assume that people I'm meeting in my life already knows about me? Is that a bad thing? If I'm leaving myself too open, what should I do? I don't know why it makes me feel so vulnerable.
