...there was a blog. And the blog was not expected to last very long. The blog knew this from the moment of its birth. And the blog was okay with that. It knew that it served a very small purpose. It was aware that it would most likely be forgotten within a week. It had heard the stories of other blogs, the vast majority of blogs, who had been started with grand intentions and aspirations, only to be lost in the shuffle of normal life. Yet the blog was content. It had no aspirations. It had no dreams. No hopes. Not even any plans to speak of. It merely was. And the blog was fairly sure that it was good. Not the blog itself, but its existence.* Although the blog itself had a chance be good. It had not yet existed long enough to be able to say with any sort of certainty whether it was good or not. It figured it might also be bad. It thought it may just plain cease to exist before any sort of determination about its good/bad ratio/leanings/tendencies come into being. And the blog was still okay with all of this. ** The blog also realized that there were a lot of other blogs out there. Bigger blogs. Meaner blogs. Blogs with big spiky collars and chains connecting them to their houses. After all, it was a blog eat... The blog realized that it could not with good conscious continue with that line of thinking. Although it was a small blog, with no one currently in sight, it realized that someone someday (possibly) may see what it contained and be horrified at such a cliché-although-not-quite-used-enough-to-technically-be-cliché sentence. After noticing how far its own quality of life had dropped, in the mere minutes of its existence, particularly in the arranging of letters into words and words into sentences, not to mention the mutilation of all proper grammar rules, although it did try to always use proper spelling, the blog decided to quit while it was ahead. If it was ahead. It couldn't quite be sure. It was sure, however, that it did not have a head. So it wasn't sure if it was possible for it to be ahead, when it didn't have a head, or what there even was for it to be ahead of. Upon this thought, the blog became confused and retired for the night.
* It must be said, however, that the blog had no other experiences (other than existing) to compare its current experience with.
**It must also be said that the blog had no real choice in the matter as it was an inanimate object, existing only in the almost-magical, a-little-bit-ethereal, not-quite-fantastical-but-pretty-close-to-fantastical land known as 'The Internets'.
