The cake is a lie

Why am I here?

Someone remind me, why did I start a blog? After (what I’m reluctant to call) “maintaining” a blog for several years, why do I continue? It’s not like I have anything to say to the “public”. I say oodles of things to each of you who read this individually, but I never have anything to say to all of you as a group. You don’t belong in a group. What are you doing here?

Today I witnessed a coworker getting advised to start a blog, which made me think to myself “wait, no one ever asked me to start a blog — why did I?”

Or for that matter, why do I read blogs which also have nothing to say?

It’s not entirely true, I do have things to say. I just don’t say them by the time I don’t want to say them anymore. *Looks at three incomplete pending posts*

    Not today. Sometime over the next few weeks. I work 9-5 so it would have to be a weekend. Or evening. Or something.

    My fancy headphones died. Well, one of the ‘phones. Or one of the heads?

    I need to establish a course of action. Do I con them out of the premium $79.99 head phones (by buying another pair, then saying it broke and getting another pair free for my old ones). Or do I try to replace the premiums with the normal $49.99 ones?

    Need to do some scheming. I’ll be in touch. Or you be in touch. What about sundays? Bad?

    Do you get a weird bug when you first load the page and scroll down, the comment input box is overlapping the last comment? Then refreshing makes it go away?
