To Use My Name

Again this was written before I had officially my own blog and had only written on facebook. Keep that in mind. I just put it here to show why someone who believes as little in blogs as I do would have a blog.
OK, so let me spell out a few things. In the past, I've loved using this facebook page to comment on serious issues, usually in a sarcastic or crazy way and sometimes in an honest way. I'm hoping to get a blog at some point, on which I could say some of the same things. However, I have to be looking for jobs right now. People will see this facebook page.

So, I can't sound too suspicious. I can't call myself an "evil socialist," or say "fuck the imperialist gringo pigs" even if I mean such phrases sarcastically, or as a pun refer to myself as "bath-ist" (in that I support the creation of bathhouses). Or can I?

I also can't let on that I spent a night in a guest house formerly used by the rebel Sub-commander Marcos in Mexico, or that I found inspiration in a group of people in San Salvador Atenco who have been accused by the media (probably wrongly) of wanting to set hostages on fire with gasoline. Or can I? These are just the examples of instances that I have already written.

Look, I could go on and on, or could I? Should I just put everything on a separate blog under a different name? Will people still find it that way? How many pseudonyms do I need to have?

Should I Keep it to myself? Create a new Facebook page, and have to spend double the amount of time on it?
