A Nothing Blog

Today I have nothing. I have spent the morning surfing the blogosphere and hoping that something would drop into my head. But, nothing. My head is full of nothing today. Everywhere I look, nothing.

So I might as well do a nothing blog and this is it.

On days like this, when nothing permeates the mind, when acres of nothing stretch out before me like an endless, empty plain, and nothing is the answer to every question, on days like this I surf the blogosphere in the hope of stumbling across something that will fill the void. This is a thankless task on the whole, there being about one readable blog in every five hundred out there, but it passes the time. And, just occasionally, one finds a blog that makes it all worthwhile.

Having collected a few of these, I thought I'd pass them on to anyone who's interested. If you like, you can look on these as my hit parade of the last few weeks. Quite a few of them were stolen from others by clicking on comments in their blogs and so, if you recognize any as being "yours", I'm saying thanks very much. Here we go then:

The World of Screetus: Screetus is a freelance advertising guy who talks a bit about his trials with ad agencies and puts up lots of funny little thoughts that occur to him through the day. I have found him to be a welcome break from continual work. I know Way visits as well so I probably followed him there one day. Thanks, Way.

Bread and Roses: Writing from the keyboard of Michael K Willis. He writes well and often. I think I "borrowed" this one from Harvey. Thanks, mate.

A Gag Reflex: This is Ceanna Crooks' account of growing up with her mother and her subsequent quest to find who her father was. Written in a prose/poem style, it is very moving and probably not for the faint-hearted. Absolutely riveting, however. This I had from Bread & Roses (see how a chain can develop). Thanks Michael.

Nurse Ratchett's Alter Ego: Jodie is a nurse somewhere in Oklahoma and her blog details events and thoughts in her life. She is disarmingly honest and humorous and has a clear and elegant writing style. Well worth a read.

Sarcasmo's Corner: Sarcasmo hunts down weird and wonderful things on the net and brings them to us with a few comments from herself. She is delightfully witty and her finds are always interesting or very, very funny (unlike most blogs that consist mainly of links). Like Screetus, Sarcasmo is well worth a visit if you're feeling a bit low.

Darksparks: This is my latest discovery so I haven't had time to read very far into it. Written by Stranger Ken, his poetry is thoughtful and atmospheric. If you like haikus, this is a good place to go.

Enjoy.
