Let's face it - I have failed in my 1 month of posts project. However, I must make it clear that the blame is not on me; it is on you, the readers. I fulfilled my obligation as the writer (I wrote) but you were useless readers: you did not read, and thus I had no motivation. Call me a shallow extrovert all you want, but you know it's true.
I am, of course, joking. You know I love you guys. Well at least you Alex, as for all I know you've simply checked in on this page 172 times. I take full responsibility for my lack of reader base. It is my fault, though I was not at first entirely sure why. However, after browsing through a number of random blogs, I think I can now shed some light on the situation.
My posts are generally meaningless. Although one or two people might have a laugh now and then, no one walks away any the wiser, and most people do not want this. In today's rat-race-societied-high-paced-high-flying-wotsit world, if someone is going to have a laugh, it can't be for free. This someone will not want to waste his/her time on some instant (and fleeting) gratification. He/she will want something more permanent; perhaps some information that will be useful in idle chatter, maybe some opinions that will help in purchasing a new car, or possibly some tips that will aid in general day-to-day living (I have suddenly realised the uselessness of referring to the 3 pages which I visited, as there is no possible way you could be privy to that information. The first was a blog discussing current affairs, the second was a page for the car enthusiast and the third was written by a mother telling of her child-raising experiences. Now the previous sentence should make more contextual sense). My blog gives nothing of the sort, for it is made up of nothing more than my random and spontaneous drivellings.
So, taking the above findings into consideration, I can see that if I want to expand my reader base I'm going to need to start being more... useful. It is therefore that I pronounce rather formally that from hereon until such a time as I realise I am wrong or simply get bored, I shall dedicate this blog to informing the readers thereof about "things". My first attempt will follow shortly.
