The value of bullshit

   This whole blogging thing causes me no small amount of anxiety. Always worrying about whether or not I come off as you know, funny, interesting, and totally cool. Or rather, if I just seem like the agoraphobic douche bag I tend to be in real life. I stress about content, "is that shit really funny, or am I just being an ass?" All sorts of other shit bugs me too: Concept, punctuation(I just know my use of semicolons is excessive) wording, the reliability of spell-check(I have my doubts). And that's just the tip of the iceberg. it's a fucking hard knock life, I know.

   ANYWAY, I told you that story to tell you this story. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine recently, when the inevitable "what have you done with your life lately" thing came up. Right.... Well... I ummm..... Shit.... Actually! I started a blog not too long ago. yeah, that's what I did! Totally! Of course he felt the need to press me further. "So, what's it about?" Came the question; And after my lengthy explanation  he concluded: "you essentially write about nothing." with which I could only agree. Yep, I write long-winded dissertations about nothing. I  feel the need post them on the web no less! But doesn't every blogger do essentially the same thing? These posts are all terribly important to the writers. But not really to anyone else. We give a shit, sure. but this mindless drivel we love to create really has no effect on anything. Nor does it have anything even approaching a legitimate purpose. Being somewhat liquored up at this point I had to defend myself "well, it might not be particularly relevant material, but it's certainly not NOTHING! Just because you don't care doesn't mean it has no value!" It got me thinking though. yep. Sure did. 'Lil Cam Cam thought long and hard about this fall-dee-rall.

   Which brings us to the point. Me being the obnoxious ass I like to be; I decided to make a challenge: Is it really possible to write about absolutely nothing? If so, could you actually dupe poor schmucks into reading it? Well guess what folks... the answer is yes. And, what's more; If you've gotten this far, you are one of those schmucks. Love ya!
