Inconsistency

So. I have this blog. And, I basically abuse the privilege of having a blog because I never use it. But, I don't have the nerve to deactivate it. And all I do is think about the blog. Always. Thinking and thinking and thinking. About: The Blog.

So I logged into my blog. Blogged in, whatever. And, I started thinking:

Why should I have a blog? People usually have blogs so they can share with everyone their stories and realizations. I have a blog so I can torture myself about it.

Haven't written the blog in a while, Eileen.
ok. seriously, shut up. and, don't whisper "blog" to me like you are just devasted and diappointed.


Hey, Eileen, you ever gonna use that
blog you started, or you just gonna let it sit there, rotting with all the other web trash clogging up cyberspace?
i don't really care about the environment. so, no.

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but is this your blog? I found it on my doorstep.
on your doorstep, really? well, that makes sense. seeing as though... that's where i left it... for dead.

I can't wait until I'm rich enough to pay someone to write my blog.

Ha. My friend, Elliot found a dog in the neighborhood today. He got the address from the collar, and returned it to the house. The family didn't even know it was missing.

They were probably too busy blogging.

I honestly forgot that I had a twitter account until today. So, I logged in, after having had a brief several month sabbatical, and came to realize why it is that I don't use twitter. It's not that I don't see the humor in posting auto-narrative updates about your every move on a tri-hourly basis. It's just that I hate comedy.

I do really hate comedy, even though it's what I do. I should be more specific. On the rare occasion that one can find Actual comedy, comedy that is being done well, one will undoubtedly be extremely engaged. But those instances have been made rare in comparison to the overflow of so many sophmoric, unintelligent and gratuitous attempts.

It's not just comedy. Theatre in general. Music. Books. Films.

Blogs, such as this one.
