I have nothing that I really want to write about today, but since it has been so long since I addressed you, my loyal readers, I thought I'd better go ahead and write something. Or something that's not really something at all, but rather nothing. So today's blog will be an exercise in pointless rambling and an experiment of sorts to see how long one can write about nothing. Writing about nothing is not as easy as it seems. Sure, there is a lot of pointless, rambling crap written every day, and it may look easy, but it's not. When you have an actual topic, you can usually find a lot of meaningless facts or opinions to tack onto that topic and thus have a lot to write about even if there's a lot of nothing thrown into the mix as well. But this isn't the case when you're writing about nothing to the exclusion of all else. Because nothing isn't really related to anything except something, which of course nothing, and there's nothing to say about nothing, it's hard to form opinions on nothing, and even harder to find anecdotes about nothing. Therein lies the difficulty. Sure, it's possible to write about Seinfeld, which is a show about nothing, but if you're writing about Seinfeld, then you really aren't writing about nothing, are you? So it's a lot harder than it looks. If you put a lot of thought and effort into nothing, the end result is nothing. If you do a half-ass job at nothing, you still end up with a lot of nothing. And not to mention the time you waste reading about nothing. For once you've read it you've given up your time but everything you've learned can be summed up with the word "nothing." So there you go. In conclusion, the point is that there is no point. Indeed, no point. Nothing.
