Freud said that if you can get the patient express all of his thoughts loudly, he will then be cured of any mental problems. I wonder if that is valid for writing down all thoughts as well.... Maybe thats they reason blogs exist!
@indeterminacy: I think you are very right about this. Such blogs are usually not interesting at all. Of course there are few such ones that are written in an interesting way. A lot depends on the way a blog is written.
@corsarius: Well... arent we all a little bit insane corsarius! I do believe that blogs can have a "healing" effect, under circumstances though. I get a kick from deleting them every now and then... infact last night, before reading your comments I was thinking about deleting it again! :D *self-destructive forces in action* hehehe
really? whew, then i'm glad to still have this page load on my browser ;) but that's an interesting behavior, deleting blogs every now and then, hehe. (hm, that gives me an idea for my online writing class paper..)
I don't know if it cures mental problems-it may just illuminate them. There maybe a chance the speaker or the author may glean insight because of this expression especially if it is about something meaningful.
Talking or writing around what "aches to come out" seems to express itself as mindless blather. Could this be an indication of this avoidence?
You have observed some very interesting and true things. Especially that "Talking or writing around what "aches to come out" seems to express itself as mindless blather."
Thats why I want to delete my blogs when they consist of such postings, they just look silly to me after a few days.

I think a lot of blogs are an expression egoism. There may be more blog writers than there are blog readers.
Maybe the word should be narcissism and not egoism.
I must agree. I'd have gone insane if not for my blogs.
(Or am I insane? Argh.) ;)

Good question!
