Laxative of the mind

I am revisiting the idea of why I am writing in this blog.

The thing is, I am getting a little preachy.

So why then? I was going to say it was cathartic and then I looked up what that word actually meant:

n.
An agent for purging the bowels, especially a laxative.

Ewww

Then, of course, I read on further and got:

cathartic
adj 1: emotionally purging [syn: psychotherapeutic] 2: emotionally purging (of e.g. art) [syn: releasing] 3: strongly laxative [syn: evacuant, purgative]

That's better.

So basically I am just purging out the things that I think should be said. That way I can go onward. If people comment or something, great. I'd like to know if I am helping people or just ticking them off.
