How To Create Content For Your Weblog...

Hey, look... a blog posting about how to add content to your weblog. How fucking original: 10 Ways To Create Content For Your Weblog.

At one point I bookmarked things like this in del.icio.us or spurl to give me some fodder to blog, then I realized that these people are just trying to spur themselves by blogging this redundant, useless tripe. This isn't a how-to or shove in the right direction, it is just a place-holder due to the fact they have nothing to post, and many others don't as well.

If you can't think of something to blog, don't.

Why blog out of obligation or due to thinking this is what you should do? My blog is an exercise in futility... it is read by no one and rightly so, since it has no meaning. I am fine with this. At least I have no delusions of its being or my reasoning to occasionally journal with frenetic intensity the contents of my ill mind.

If you need to spur your blog, just delete it and read other people's thoughts.

No Rain...

California is a dry place. I have lived here for two months and not seen a drop of rain on the ground. I will admit that I have seen the dirty, droplet-shaped marks on my car twice that allude to at least fifty drops of rain falling in the area.

It is hard to imagine that I would miss the rain so damned much. Rain gives life; I love the clean, glistening look of the roads and the shimmering sheen on the foliage's leaves as they increase their respiration following a downpour.

Just a day of rain to cleanse the area of dust and detritus is all I ask. Why must the weather be so damned "nice?"

I hate the lack of rain almost as much as the song regarding no rain...

U-Turn Pandemonium

I have realized in my short time in California that the legality of U-Turns is not a privilege. U-Turns are a necessity due to poor city planning.


It seems as if roads and intersections are created with any thought to where people would have to turn or what would increase the throughput of the roads. Mere abundance is the goal, not people arriving at their destination easily.

Why would city planners create a division in a barrier that would more effectively allow drivers to turn directly to their destination and lessen traffic congestion when you could more easily just use an unchanged, cookie-cutter road template and have the people take their "free" U-Turn? Sure, these people slow the people that are actually turning, but why should they care? It is a law...
