Introduction in C Minor

I can't help but think that I am talking, or in this case typing, to myself. Why anyone else would come across this blog is beyond me, yet I sit here and put the words on the screen. Boredom has set in, and this seemed like the best idea I could come up with to pass a little time before I head off to never never land. Every time, alright well not every time but often enough, when I use the word idea I can't help but think back to this Advertising class I took in school. The professor actually took time to define 'idea' for us one day, and of course my friends and I thought it was really ridiculous to define such a vernacular standard that we had to remember that one. It got written down on the side of my notes just so I could reference it again every time he brought up something about ideas in class. Turns out that on the first test we had one of the questions was to define what an idea was. No kidding!

Aren't tangents fun? There's another definition I remember. (Cue the voice over guy from Iron Chef) If memory serves me correct . . . a tangent is a line based off a single point on a circle. So if that's the case, then that assumes that all conversation is circuitous. Otherwise how could someone go off on a tangent? And if said person does go off on this tangent, how do they get back to the original premise without rehashing said tangent? This is one of my problems, I analyze minutia too much.

No idea of where I'm headed with this, or even if I'm on course to head anywhere. Think of this as the Seinfeld of blogs, or maybe you shouldn't. That would be putting too much pressure on me to churn out witty, meaningless dribble on a somewhat frequent basis. I don't even know if I'll ever post on here again. I don't really know why I'm posting now come to think of it. Afterall, as I pointed out when I began, I'm just typing to myself. Wow, it appears I have managed to get back to where I began this passage. I guess that proves my theory about having to reverse track on those tangents wrong. Maybe I managed to go off on enough tangents to bisect my way back to my original topical circle. I'm just good like that. So I suppose I should leave on that high note, having typed to myself long enough, without even blogging anything of remote relevence or insight. Not that anyone else will read this anyways.

By the way, an idea is 'a thought meant to solve a problem.' I know you were curious, or should I be saying I was curious?

Smell ya later!
