MAJ Rantage's Journal: Blog by default

So many thoughts, so little time...and probably so few people interested. Is blogging a form of expression, self-therapy, or both?

I have been tempted to start a blog on several occasions, just so I could vent about a particular topic on my mind at the moment (usually after I read something incredibly ignorant posted by some Slashdot ivory tower type). Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I never have time to sit down and do it.

Funny how a full-time job, a family and higher education tend to do that.

A way to vent

[sielwolf]

It's a way to vent. Write/talk about stuff that's on your mind that no one gives a shit about. Need to rant? Do it on a blog. It's much more theraputic than thinking it. Burn it out through your fingers.

Hell, for the longest time I disabled comments on my Blog just because I used it only for selfish reasons. Funny thing was people were interested no matter how self-absorbed I got! ;)

And usually the blog debates are more interesting than the main /. discussions anyway.
