• Something to say about nothing to say

  People will talk about anything. They'll blog about anything. And by "anything" I mean "nothing." Nothing at all. I do not exclude myself from this population of blabberers. Perhaps if we just took a little more time, put a little more thought into what we say... well, it would be interesting. It might be illuminating or, at least, entertaining. But for the most part, it's simply boring. Just plain boring.
  
  I mean, I actually posted that I bought a toilet seat! WTF? Who cares? I don't care. Why should you? If it weren't for the fact that I found a moderately amusing picture of a guitar toilet seat, it would have been a pure act of self-indulgence that not even I would have taken pleasure in. And I wasn't even drunk when I wrote that!
  
  So I promise to make every entry count. I will never blog about some trivial event that only concerns me. I will do my best to offer something that will make you smile, or laugh even. I will try to make you think or feel. I will attempt to manipulate you - piss you off, get you down, or lift you up. I will try. I will fail but I will try.
  
  If I have absolutely nothing to say, I will say nothing. And if a thought itches me, I will scratch it for a while and see if it goes away on its own. If it refuses to leave, I will share it with you; maybe you can scratch it better than I. And if I fail to stimulate even the smallest nerve, tell me. Curse me. Delete me. Unfriend me. Don't encourage me.
  
  And if I do generate a spark, no matter how dim, it will be my honor.
  
  Now, time to go break in that new toilet seat...
