Swapping Stories

Have you ever wanted to write a post that references someone who reads your blog? Or maybe someone who knows them reads your blog. It happens to me all the time; so many great stories, just wasted. This always occurs because I have people reading my stories from every job I've ever worked... including my present one. And not writing at their expense shouldn't really have to alienate our friendship, don 't you think?

So I totally came up with this idea today. Many of these stories I want to write about these people are really for you anyway. (Well they would be for my real-life friends too, but since most of them don't read me with the same regularity you do, fuck 'em.) Why should I have to punish you all because I don't want these individuals to know I wrote about how stupid they are?

I shouldn't.

So my idea is to have one of you post my story on your blog. I mean what does it matter if readers see my thoughts here or at one of my blogging counterparts. We all read one other, right?

But the best part is that most of my real-life friends don't read all of you. They think it's crazy enough that I read over 70 blogs. They'd never venture over to your sites.

So you get the stories. I get to creatively write about those people who irrate me. And they think I'm still their friends. It's perfect.

Anyone up for it? I'd be happy to do the same for you if you want to post about co-workers or family.
