The, the nothing really.


I get asked quite a lot whether I like writing these blogs every day, whether I get sick of writing them or not, and my answer is always the same, and that answer is that I love writing them every day, I mean it gives me something to do, but I normally tell the asker that I have fun with them, except for those days where I just have nothing to write about and I actually just, I just don’t know what to write. I have been sitting here for the last hour trying to think of something to write, and I just can’t think of anything at all. I was going to write about New Year’s resolutions and what they even mean, but then I realised that I didn’t have one, and I thought that maybe it was too late to make one. I think I actually said that my New Year’s resolution would be to wear shoes whenever I left the house, but I failed that one on like, on New Year’s Eve, so yeah. I think another new year’s resolution I thought of was to wake up every day in the AM, so that means no waking up at like three in the afternoon, but I failed that the first day, and then I continued to fail it like, every other day.

I then thought that maybe I could write about this new Batman game that I borrowed off Linou; I mean it’s a pretty fun game, but I don’t even know what to say about it. It’s a great game, yeah, fun, heaps to do in it, but I wouldn’t be able to write a whole thingy, blog about it, I mean I don’t really know anything about Batman, I just know that he wears a cape and his parents were murdered and stuff, but yeah, not like I could write a whole one of these about it. Sometimes these blogs take me ten minutes to write, other times they take me like an hour and then there are those days where I am still going hours after I started because I just get side tracked and don’t finish them. I was meant to leave here and go back to Andrew’s like two hours ago now, but I thought to myself that I should just write this one up here on my computer that is faster than Andrew’s and then head off to his place, but yeah, I just should have finished writing this by now.

Sometimes I will have so many things to write about that I can’t fit them into a single blog, and they were the best times because it meant that I had at least two or three days worth of knowing what to write about, and sometimes if I had plenty of time to spare I would just write like, two, three blogs in the one day and put them up one after the other, or keep a spare one so on a day like this where nothing interesting has happened, I could just put that one up and not have to worry about writing one. This really does seem like a kind of job, like a voluntary job that I don’t know why I do it. I mean there are those days where I think that maybe I should just not write one, and then never write one ever again, and I wander what would happen. I mean I get those people that say that they read my blog every day and that, but do you think that they would care if I just stopped? I’m currently pursing my lips in a kind of ‘come on’ lip movement as I create a ‘thumbs up’ with my hand and throw it behind myself, with the thumb pointing at the door behind me. Why I did that I don’t know, and why I typed it here will forever be more of a mystery.

I tend to do that a lot when I write these, and I don’t know why, like its fucking weird, I mean unless I am on The Truman Show, I am not being watched, so why do that for no one, and then why type it here? I think the main reason I am typing it here is because it is just as interesting as the rest of the nothing that I have typed here, and really, all I am doing is typing until I reach the amount of words that makes me think that I have written enough and then I will just stop and yeah, go. I remember making jokes with Matt Gunn just after school ended about how this blog will turn from the crazy antics of school life to just being about nothing, but I never thought it would extend to this. It’s times like this that make me think that I need a job, but part of getting a job is looking for a job, and what I am doing now, unless some guy who works for some news corporation is reading this and he is like ‘nah this is fucking brilliant, I am going to hire him right now’, then I am currently not helping myself find a job, so I am going to wrap it up here and leave you with this message. If you do work for a news corporation and you think that the last nine hundred odd words of wank was actually fucking brilliant, just, let me know.
