When I have nothing valuable to contribute to society, I write about it here. It's my way of giving the most I can with the least amount of material. Somewhat surprising, I find that writing about nothing actually takes a large amount of effort. Sometimes I'll sit here for days(sorry I mean minutes) at a time just staring at the computer screen, waiting for the creative process to take place. Blogging can be beautiful, since it allows you to express your deepest thoughts and share them with others who aren't the least bit interested.
Blogging is also a way to unwind when the brain is full of stuffed up thoughts. Purging the system by flushing out the gobbledygook is an important function of blogging. When I think about it, pointless blogging is the opposite of mind control; yes, what we might call; mind out of control.

It was Thursday just a little while ago
Today is Thursday pronounced Thur-s-day not "Thirsty." Okay, why am I telling you how to pronounce this. Truthfully, there's no point to this kind of logic and it could actually backfire, when you start saying; who is this guy and why does he think he's an expert in the spoken word. Actually I'm using this technique as filler because if nothing is written here, you would be staring at a blank page.
Let's talk about the word "assume" for a minute. As long as I can recall, the word assume has been used over and over again, and I have personally used it frequently, not thinking much about it. A few years ago, I used the word assume at work and was chastised by someone saying to me; "You should never assume anything, because you know what they say about the word assume; it can make an "ass" out of "u" and "me." I'm not sure that even makes any sense, but I understood it to mean I did something wrong by "assuming." So here's my question. If we aren't supposed to assume, what are we supposed to do if we don't know the answer? How can we ever have an opinion, because that's all that assuming is; an opinion. It might be an educated opinion or a shot in the dark, but it's still assuming. Anything other than the actual truth is an opinion or an assumption isn't it? Our whole life is a series of assumptions, so we must "assume" it's acceptable. I hate someone telling me I shouldn't assume, which you can probably tell by now, I assume.

It's Wednesday not Wensday
No one I know pronounces Wednesday like Wed-nes-day. Everyone I know and everyone I don't know, pronounces Wednesday like Wens-day. It's easier to say Wens-day than Wednesday. And then there are people who must correct your pronunciation; "You know, Karl, it's pronounced WED-NES-DAY not Wensday" Okay not everyday people, but still there's enough of them around to keep you leery of saying Wednesday out loud amongst a group of strangers. What kind of people need to get upset over this almost silent d anyhow?
I'm wondering if it's possible to change Wednesday into Wensday for the sake of freedom of easier speech. How do names of days and months get changed? Who does it and how long does it take? Do you think it's something voters can vote on? Do you have to get a petition going. If it's a long drawn out process, forget it, it's probably not worth the effort. One thing I'll promise to do is to keep on saying Wensday incorrectly while spelling it properly.
Just can't please everybody.

When Tuesday turns into Today
Today is Tuesday. For a little fun, try taking out the "s" from Tue-s-day and see what it sounds like. Does it sound like to-day, funny huh? Is this just coincidence or is there something very mystical happening here?
You many not believe me, but this blog is actually posted on Wednesday and not on Tuesday as the title suggests. There is a reason for this, and it isn't because I had intentions of misleading you. It's really because I started writing this on Tuesday but left it for awhile, while I switched my focus to finishing a cartoon to go along with my Newsvine.com article. Well the cartoon is pretty well finished, but the article isn't even close to being completed. The article is about how to tell if you are a Newsvine junkie. It's supposed to be funny and I'm not, which means it will require lots of effort. I might get it done in the next day or so, and maybe even post the link here, if you're interested.
Now I must take a break and try and figure out how to reset my watch so it matches the change in daylight savings time from a week or so ago. I haven't worn it since then and today I realized I lost the instructions so I'll be spending way too much time trying to adjust the time. My life is full of challenges.

Monday, Monday
Welcome to the work week. I probably would be more depressed if I actually had to go to work today.
When someone has nothing to write about, it usually turns out like something you are presently reading. Of course you never know when the writer can say or think of something profound, so it is worth reading a little bit further on, in hopes of gaining some value out of this time investment.
Value, such as important advice on how to deal with your financial situation. Well I've always been compelled to help people, so here goes. Save your money, quit spending it. You worked hard for your money; so save it, don't give it away to anyone you don't know. If someone asks you to invest your money into a get rich scheme, be very wary. Ask them to loan you some money first, and then you'll gladly invest it, then see how eager they are to do so. Trust no one, especially me. Thanks.

Sunday's are Monday's pretending to be Saturdays
Wow it's Sunday and the sun is shining; is that a coincidence? Well this must be a sign of Spring, because the sun is out and the temperature is above freezing. It's been a long winter, but soon I'll be opening the glass patio doors and letting the dust fly outside.
It's just about time for spring cleaning too, as it will be on so many people's minds. For me, it'll mean cleaning the carpet, the refrigerator, toaster and definitely both my ears. Can't leave that last one too long.

Hiding behind the blog
If this is your first visit here, then you must be wondering why there isn't a lot of traffic to this page. You are probably saying to yourself; "This is like finding a gold mine, I mean, there's so much humour here, and no one else around to read it. I can't believe I have it all to myself. I'm not telling anybody else about this blog, because if I do, then a whole bunch of misfits will come here and make rude comments, then the guy who writes this fabulous material, will get all upset and quit blogging."
Yep that's probably what you're thinking right now, and that's a good reason not to tell anyone else about this blog. Make me a promise before you leave, that you won't tell anyone else about this blog and we'll keep it our little secret. Now remember; this is just between us, okay?
