About Blogging...

So what's the deal about blogging?  How much of myself do I share with the public?  My late friend Julia used to be real private about her life, then she moved to Korea and went completely public.  She wrote about her life from boys to work to the food she ate to the pictures she took, and she was really good at it!

She kept all her friends and loved ones up to date about her life, and she was so honest with herself that it was like she never left.  She was exactly the same person in writing as she was in the flesh, and that was the beauty of the things she shared with us, especially her photos.  She really had a great eye for all things beautiful, and equally had the mind to describe it.

Sadly, about a year after she passed away, her website dorkyfresh.com finally got taken down... and now all of her life in writing is lost.  We lost her to cervical cancer in 2009 and not a day passes that I don't think of her.  In many ways, she is the inspiration for this blog.
