I lay in bed on a Saturday afternoon, listening to the pitter patter of the raindrops on my scarcely naked windows. I listen to Galore by Dragonette and I doze off, only to wake up to a somewhat "bloggable" idea, or extension of a previous idea.
Two weeks after revisiting this draft, I fear that humanity's worst vice - as far as I am concerned - has trumped me over again. And I cannot help but to only graciously accept defeat to the mystical powers that is procrastination. Perhaps such a thought shall come to me again, and I'll think to myself "maybe I should edit that post I was working on in Springvale library, staring aimlessly at cars casually pass me by, not dissimilar how the inner workings of my mind pass me by". Or maybe I'll forget, and maybe such another post exactly like this one will take place again.
In any case, this post shall be about nothing - nothing meaningful anyway. But perhaps not, for at this stage, my mind is free to wander, my imagination is free to explore the nth corners of thought. And maybe, just maybe, I'll strike thought of unfathomable originality and worthy of philosophical recognition. Though the chances of this happening are just about as likely as Osama Bin Laden for winning the "Undisputed living Hide and Seek Award".
But I shall let my thoughts flow raw into this post, and I'll let the chips fall where they may. But as I type that sentence, all seems moot - for I search for thoughts and none are conjured. I ask myself why? and no answer results. I search and seearch in desperation for a way out of this temporary writer's block that has seemingly affected me since the earliest days of this blog, but I think of nothing.
Reading back upon the little content of this post, I realize that this post is probably the most pointless post ever. I sort of wonder if it's shameful of me as a lover of words to waste so many on such trivialities. But I am also a lover of sound, a lover of the vocal arts; singing, lobbying, "THANT"ing - and I do contend that silence is golden. However, as I think back, what I'm currently doing has nothing to do with the analogy I just thought of. Rather, it's more like I'm trying to fill a void with aimless and misbegotten ideas.
So I'll end this post here to further avoid any embarrassment upon my behalf.
I'm going to be excruciatingly busy over the next month, so I won't be posting much text - but I will post a lot of stuff from time to time - change is still nice, isn't it?
