Having a public blog is problematic sometimes. Things happen that sometimes are a bit too touchy or weird to talk about publicly (or maybe it just makes too big of a deal out of something small by being so public?) so even if I have something to write about, I don’t because… yeah. Haha. Sometimes I make private blog entries, but that seems kinda scary sometimes. It’s like writing a private letter and hiding it under a rock in the playground… what if something happens and someone finds it? =p
Maybe that’s why people used to keep diaries (or for the more “manly,” journals)… of course, what if someone stole that?… Hmmm, maybe I should be like Bale in The Prestige and write everything with a cipher… 
Ebonics iz almost like uh cipher. I wonder how it iz going ta translate dis here sentence! don’t make me shank ya!
You should be shot by black people for that.
There’s nothing wrong with private entries. In fact, I think expressing yourself, even if only you’ll see it is healthy. It organizes your thoughts into something mentally tangible instead of being clouded by random emotions.

Oh, thinking about journals made me think that perhaps you should keep a paper account of all your various mundane everyday tasks and thoughts and practices in pedantic detail, like the great Samuel Pepys, to be read by future generations and oohed and aahhed over (didn’t he talk about how often he lusted after some people or something?).

I use private entries sometimes, and I also have like 3 other blogs (with different degrees of public exposure) that I don’t usually use unless I feel like it.

you should just write all your thoughts in a .txt file and save it. you could also encrypt it if you so desired.
or… write in white text on a white background… so if no one is clever enough to highlight it, your thoughts will be secret forever… and your typos.
