Absolutes?!

Though I see the positives of being objective, I don't think that writing objectively in my personal blog would suit me well at all... So let me be up front in saying that I realize I am not objective, but this is a semi-journal to me, where I write down my thoughts, feelings, evaluations, interpretations in a stream of consciousness. These thoughts and feelings have a broad range of topics and I am sure my opinions, viewpoints will change from time to time as I am enlightened and introduced to new topics. With that being said on to... Absolutes!

I do not believe in absolutes, I don't think that they can exist in any way, type, or form. I believe there will always be differences in what is right or wrong for a particular person. As I have stated before I believe in many shades of gray (no black and white). Though I love discussion and debate on any topics, I feel like I will stay steadfast in my belief in no absolutes. But will always welcome any other viewpoints.

I now forget where I was going to go with this post (I was thinking about it in my drive home from school/work). But I think what is most important right now is my frankness about my lack of objectivity in this particular blog. This particular blog has no particular focus, except my own stream of consciousness and viewpoints. Eventually, I hope to begin a more focused blog; but right now I am simply trying to find my own particular niche on which I will blog--and will always keep a personal blog where I feel comfortable to share my thoughts, feelings, ideas without having to edit myself or be objective.

Blogging ethics?!

What are the ethics that blogs should follow? Should they be the same as "traditional" media? How does credibility affect the way blogs are read, understood, commented on, thought of as a "real" form of media or news?

What is truth? What role does objectivity play in reporting? How about in blogging?

I know these are all difficult issues and questions. And there may not be right or wrong answers. Everything in this world is not black and white; there are shades of gray (I believe in almost all instances).
