What language do I use in this blog then?

So… What language do I use in this blog then? English or Spanish? At the start I said “English”, out of a certain mistrust and rejection for the Spanish-only speaking audience. It is silly and with time I started to write more and more in Spanish for two reasons: 1. Sometimes I write about tech topics for which it is very difficult to find information in Spanish. 2. I feel like it.

But that’s a question that has kept coming to my mind for a long time. I know I didn’t keep the promise I made myself to write here at least once a week, thus pretending this blog has some significance even for me is a bit pretentious. I can attribute my apparent aloofness to the problems that real life throws at us to make the best laid up plans break in pieces. There is a lot I could say about what real life has dished out to me since I opened this blog, but really: Does anyone listen anyway? 

On the other hand there is the problem of inner modesty that brings a strong sense of self-censorship. Yeah! I have things to say. I’m boiling to write about them and throw them to the seven directions, but do I really have the abandon to carelessly vent my private opinions and emotions in a public stand, even if in the case of this blog the audience is none? The answer to this question is “certainly no!”. As a famous (at leat for fifteen minutes) humorist of my country used to say: “Rather dead than discolored”.

So, I won’t answer the question yet and give myself the benefit of the doubt. I’ll keep saying this blog is in English. I’ll write most entries in English and try to write at least once a month. So there.
