This, I feel I should point out, is not actually a real blog. The blurb at the top of this page has already menitoned that but this is a good old-fashioned reiteration just to get the point across. I mean, yes, admittedly I'm writing words here - and blogs obviously contain words. But I have no actual point to make with any words I put here. I'm not looking to say anything deep or even interesting about anything at all. I'm just writing words - any words. The first words that come sweeping out of my mind will be the ones that I put here. The ones that I am putting here now. The ones that I have already put.
It seems unlikely that any of them will make any sense or that anybody will or would have any interest in reading them. And that's okay because they do not need to make any sense and they will not make any more, or even less sense if nobody reads them.
Essentially then, these words, here and now, are saying nothing about nothing, and saying them to nobody.
I suspect that somewhere in that equation of words, there is an indication of some kind of fair balance - a workable equilibrium.
So that's alright then.
"But," you might be asking yourself (although I feel it unlikely) "why are you even bothering to write anything at all here?"
And that is probably a good question. Unfortunately I ran out of really good answers for anything a long time ago. However, a good answer (involving elephants and contraception for example) is not required here as the true answer is not an overly exciting or overwhelming, let alone good one. And nor does it need to be when shove comes to push. It doesn't involve any deep insight into mine or anybody else's psyche or death defying leaps of faith - or faith defying leaps of death.
It only involves one incredibly dull but simple truth and that is: I am testing the blog function that the web host (Bandzoogle) for this website (Holy George, that's the guys who decided to put this site up) provided as part of the attractive package deal. And I am testing it just to see what it does, how it does it and where it does it. I'm not so much interested in why it does it. I imagine that like many things, it does it because that's what it does, that is what it is designed to do. It doesn't need a motivational reason; it doesn't need a 'why' - the function just is. Functional.
Of course, if I were a proper blogger and not just somebody experimenting with a function, a feature, and if I were a more intelligent person than I actually am, I could probably compare (in a cynical and negative way) the similarities (or disparities) between the 'just is' function of a piece of software and the 'just is' status of a human being.
But I'm not a proper blogger and therefore can afford to ignore such nonsense.
And on that note, that's really all I have to say about that.
