to blog or not to blog

a few people have presented to me the paradox of having a journal, by definition a very private and personal thing, online, an extremely public and accessible place. the result is a necessary crypticness to my reflections on my every day life which force me to go beyond the "i did x and y and this is what i think about it" to another level of thought beyond my actions and immediate reactions that are, to me, actually a much more helpful documentation of myself.
