It's amazing to me how much people will read blogs about nothing in particular. People blog about the weather. Sometimes people talk about what they did that day, or that they enjoyed a nice spring breeze. Or how the pollen makes them sneeze. Or, maybe a cell phone battery died, or they got a good deal on ground beef. Big freakin' deal.

What I can't understand is why people keep reading. Are you expecting something captivating to stem from a sentence about dandelions in the front yard?

I admit, I sometimes don't have anything really exciting to say. I sometimes blog about my day, like for example, my previous post was about wasps, for pete's sake. I'm not the only person to encounter wasps. Heck, I'm sure a lot of my neighbors have wasps, or other stinging, buzzing insects.

So anyway today was just like any other day. Answered a few calls at work. I suggested a drinking game in which we take shots every time I had to give out the news e-mail address. I guess we publish the e-mail address in the paper 200 times for no reason -- people still call and ask. I'm thinking about doing shots just as I'm typing this. But don't worry. I don't drink and type. I'm a designated typist. I won't get convicted of a TUI or TWI. My typing alcohol level is well below the legal limit. I won't be caught with an open keyboard.

Props to you, reader, for reading thus far. This post has been pretty much about nothing, and it totally proves my point. And yes, I wrote about nothing on purpose. But here's an actual thought:

I learned this week that an friend of mine from way back is engaged, and I had no idea. So, thanks for the update, yo. Although to be fair, I haven't seen him in more than a year. I just randomly came across a photo of them together. Also, he told me about this girl a long time ago, and at the time, he was thinking about dumping her and wanted my advice. So, I guess he decided not to after all. (I really can't recall what I advised, although I can guess...)

I wish them the very best. :-)

But really, people shouldn't ask for my advice nearly as much as they do.

It's total bananas that people listen to me.
