A blog about a blog about blogging!

I recently read a blog posting about why people love to blog. It seems that you can type in "blog about ____", insert anything into the blank and come up with results. It has almost taken the place of baseball as America's favorite pastime. The author of this particular blog seems to think that we do it because it is therapeutic.
I found myself agreeing with this statement. With informal writing style and train of though formatting, blogging is like writing an angry letter to your ex-girlfriend or boyfriend and then crumbling it up and not sending, just to get your thoughts out. (except that the entire world gets to read what you crumbled up and threw in the trash; consequences do apply) For most people, writing something out in print helps to get something off of their chest. Writing out their thoughts helps them work out the problem or perhaps see it in a different light.
Another blog posting on the same issue gives a list of reasons why everyone should be blogging. One of the things the list is the fact that you can hide any of your posts, meaning that your blog can become like a personal diary that only you can read. This goes along with the idea that blogging can be therapeutic.
One other way that blogging can be a form of therapy is by posting or discussing things in your blog that you disagree with or oppose. For example, I hate Bill O'Reilly and think that he is the most close-minded and ignorant man in the media and should never be referred to as a journalist. Here is an example of why. Now I can trick myself into believing that people will read this blog, see the video I just posted, and hate Bill O'Reilly with me. Knowing that I have reached an audience and possibly swayed someone's opinion in someway makes me feel good and is almost like going to therapy.
