Finding a Research Topic, Starting is so difficult...

It is now taking me almost forever to decide on my research topic.
Though I have a long list of interests, I am held back from deciding on a research topic because in addition to a topic that interests me, I want to also research on something relevant and contemporary.
I first started wanting to opt more for technical themes, particularly the lives of those behind the technological bonanza we have today. I do not consider myself a history-inclined person but I just thought in my research I might take the opportunity to explore the lives of some important people of all times, their success, failures, inspirations and particularly the inspiration someone like me can draw from that. Who knows, this knowledge might help me be like them as far as technological and scientific discovery is concerned.
Then I changed my mind about that I am thinking of something more current like global warming.
This night I just made up my mind to handle the bull by the horns.
I am a little concerned about not being perfect and and about being boring even to myself.
However, I will definitely give it a try.
I also discovered that writing away to no one in particular was kind of wasting for me. However, when commenting on some one's else blog, I kind of get a feel to be communicating and ideas come to me more. I plan exploiting this avenue a little bit more.
