...And then you get people like John Eden, who sound like they actually have something to moan about, seeming to draw some strength from sharing his 'bitch-of-a-week' with us, using the blog as a cathartic cipher to let off some steam and (sorry to admit it, John) amusing the rest of us because we've BEEN THERE (well, maybe not there precisely, but somewhere pretty damn close). I occasionally try to get personal, let some bits of my real life ooze into the blog, and I always feel better for it afterwards, even if I might be initially embarrassed. It's the way forward...ask Tiffiny, who's been rocking my world recently.
Blogging = freedom of expression, cathartic mental ejaculation, empathy, personal fulfillment....others?
