Blog Post, Or Therapy Journal?

Dear Dysfunctional,
For once, yes, yes I have broken with tradition by omitting the customary "dear dysfunctional" on my last post.... Consider my way of being a rebel. Don't worry, I'm being sarcastic; I really express my rebellion by tearing the wrong side of the ketchup packet. Moving forward, Blogging is a very popular pastime, with millions of blogs out there, and millions more reading them. Why are they so popular? It's not like the vast majority of blogs will make an impact, or develop a large following; in fact, most blogs that I've seen tend to be pretty mundane compositions. Most of them are just a bunch of middle aged women who blog pictures of their children, as well as their vacation plans, new drapes, and, if you're lucky, a poorly written narrative about how they set something in the kitchen on fire. I mean, do people really expect that somebody other than their best friends will be interested at all? Or, which is perhaps a better question, why do they broadcast every minute detail about their personal lives? Are people really looking for attention? Or is it some type of way to ventilate their cluttered emotions? In the days before blogs, people with phsycological problems used to wander aimlessly, uttering verbose soliloquies to the hard, cold stars, or weaving long self pitying eulogies before they flung themselves off a cliff. However, this isnt necessary nearly as much, ever since the birth of the blog. Now, people vent their emotions that they would otherwise keep (perhaps for the best) pent up. The result of these outpourings often result in thinly veiled documentations of their physiological comings and goings, where any therapist worth his salt can easily identify three to four mental disorders, starting with schizophrenia. With that said, maybe I should stop before somebody diagnoses me with Aspergers....
Tune in next week!
