::Chapter 2~

In which I protect myself...
...by labeling rubbish.


Before I start on anything else, let me first congratulate you.

Congratulations!

The fact that you are reading this can only mean that you are bored. Or you do not have the ability to prioritize your activities. Whichever insults you more. The former suggests that you are not obsessed with the rat race that is your life, and the latter is (hopefully) the result of a life without the need for prioritization. Either way, you are better off than most of us, hence the congratulations.

With that out of the way, we can move on to more meaningful issues. Oh, wait. There are no “more meaningful issues”. Please bear with the meaninglessness of it all.

Because of the obvious lack of a subject, I will now talk about the title of this book/blog/nothing-thingy. Absolute Blather. It is a simple title. An adjective followed by a noun. The title serves its purpose well, that is to warn potential readers of the contents that are to follow. It also serves to protect me. You see, I am in no way a good writer. What you see on the page is random, and mainly consists of anything that comes to mind first. I may pause to think about how to phrase a particular thought or idea, but that thought or idea is rarely part of a structured... structure (sorry for my lack of a decent vocabulary). By titling my work (work?) as such, the content, however random and structureless, is justified. It is the same logic as how people excuse the smell of rubbish in a labeled dumpster. You do not like it but, hey, it is in its proper place.

In a way, that last paragraph has the same purpose as the title. In writing of a different nature, the author do not have to justify why he writes what he does. That is because most people write for others. I, selfishly, am writing this for myself. I need a place in which I can throw all the stupid lame thoughts I am not allowed to have. A place where I can freely express my sarcasm whenever I feel the sadistic urge to. The best part about all this is that I do not need to have ANY topic. I am not bound like some people, who only blog when something interesting happens. Nor do I have to do any preparation like those people who want to write a proper essay or book. The best part of this is the absolute FREEDOM.

Alright, that's enough for now. Before I go, let me leave you with a thought-provoking question:
Why the hell are you still reading this crap?
