Web Presence

so following on from yesterdays post; I am trying to develop a web presence. Why? I am not sure. It may be that I have a mild but pervasive desire for fame. It is funny though because this desire battles with my respect for humility. Part of me wants to tell everyone about everything and build myself up. But the people that I respect the most are the people that you find out are just awesome but never tell you them self. I want to be like that and am striving for it.

Anonymity

So far I have kept this blog anonymous. But that is stupid because anyone who wants to find out who I am will find it really easy to do so. I guess the reason that I want to remain anonymous is that I do not want my patients to search my name and see some of my ponderings. So I am going to keep the name here anonymous but everything else is not.

I think I am also a bit scared of the internet. John O'Connor in Terminator kept himself off the grid and survived. In some way I would like to do the same. It is the desire to be a hero that sparks that one. But since I am so entrenched in the grid and have made no other attempt to remove myself from it, I say bugger it. Am who gives enough of a damn about me anyway? Identity theft, I guess, is a good reason to try and say a bit anonymous and I think maybe that is a valid concern but I refuse to live in fear and so bring it on!
