It is my opinion that many bloggers find blogging relaxing. Even though there may be some pressure in not repeating oneself and in trying to increase page views, all in all blogging can be very relaxing.
There is something very freeing in expressing hopes, wants, desires, loves, convictions and yes rants. What the Internet has done is democratize publishing. This is basically a good thing. Any time the vast majority of people can express themselves, that means the leaders of a society cannot simply ignore the voices of the vast majority of the people for too long.
It is now universally accepted that blogging is changing media and politics. You blog. They blog. I blog. I like to drink beer when I blog. And I know why. I’m not a very open person with my emotions. But put a few beers in me and watch me go.
Millons of men and women enjoy blogging and I’m one of them.

Martini’s seem to do the trick for me. Unfortunately, I’m still working on control issues when it comes to releasing myself in a blog. Guess thats what pent up frustrations do – erupt in blogs. Good to know others are doing the same – beer, martini’s, what not… whatever helps – helps

SkipJr, well, I enjoy beer and it does allow me to be open but I realized years ago that if I was going to be a writer I had to be open beer or no beer.
