Test and Start...

I'm curious if I'll get more readers with lurid subject matter... I have a two fold purpose in starting this blog. I have a hunch that personal blogs are often started as a means for someone to honestly express things that they would not be comfortable doing in a forum less anonymous. They want to say these things but there's no way they'll say them to people or the right people. Does this become like talking to your dog? My first goal is to learn if a blog of personal rants tends to make it easier to rationalize and allow oneself to engage in self-indulgent conversations justifying faults or if by posting these thoughts in an anonymous and very honest manner are others who might read this prompted to reply in a cooresponding honest and genuine manner, making for a better than in person human interaction? Ultimately it seems we seek another who "relates".
