Answering Why


Every now and then, there comes a time when you simply realize that all the thoughts in your head are just overflowing. This can be thought of in relation to a toilet. The problem here is that your brain isn’t a toilet. You can’t just flush it without destroying useful information such as who your parents are, how many songs Steve Perry made with Journey, and how to actually flush a toilet. So what do you do when thousands of thoughts occupy your mind with nothing to do?

You write a blog. But not just any blog. You write a blog specifically devoted to the various thoughts and ideas that are clouding your mind. So that’s what I’m doing here. Why am I doing this? Why am I writing a blog when there are already millions of nonsense blogs in the world? I don’t know. My blog isn’t the first blog that will be strange and creepy and odd and full of cheesecake references. But maybe I don’t want it to be. I’m not trying to be innovating or capture an audience. I’m just trying to talk about nothing really. Perhaps I will come up with a truly awesome idea, and I will write it down, and someone else will see that idea and be inspired. Or not. I can’t predict the future.

So let’s metaphorically toast to a new blog and everything that comes with it. Also, don’t forget your seat belt. It’s going to be a wild ride, and I don’t want to responsible for any injuries that occur along the way.

  1. I like this, you have a lovely introduction to your blog. Introductions are nice to let the reader know what they're going to be reading, instead of just jumping in with an essay or musing.

    1. Thanks. I thought about adding extra musings into this post, but then I realized that no one would be amused by my extra muses. Avoiding this is desired because this blog is for amusement, and I don't want it to be boring like a cardboard museum. Generally, I'm going for bemusement here.
