Internet, You're Letting Me Down

You know, for all of the hundreds of thousands of useless posts about topics that have about as much credibility as a four year old's opinion on the trends in the stock market, one would think that it would be easier to find at least one page that contains the information that you want.

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. It appears that the idiots and miscreants who enjoy spamming the internet with their useless brainwaves don't actually care to take the time to think up a decent page.

I mean, sure, if you're doing research or something scholarly and resourceful, it's plenty easy to find the information that you want. As it's said, the internet is a vast pool of knowledge that you need only to tap into with your fingertips to find anything that you could ever need to know.

But try to find movie quotes, and that's it, game over for you.

All I wanted was to find one good page of all of the funny things that John Krazinski's character says in Something Borrowed, but the only quotes I found were obviously from people whose sense of humor only extends as far as their funny bone, but their capacity for cheesy romanticism is endless.

"Let's get another drink."

"You don't want to."

"I want to."

That qualified for every single page I looked at? That's not even a quote! That's a typical conversation! That's the kind of thing that you say when trying to convince somebody of something, anything, true or not. That, my friends, is lame.

All I'm saying is, Ethan got the shaft on all of these quote pages, as his character is obviously more quotable than Dex, seeing as how Dex is only there for his criminally good looks.

Screw movies reviews. Next time, I'm making my own page of quotes. 

That way I don't have to rely on pages that relay quotes like this one:

"Why didn't you tell me how you felt?"

Quotes To Live By

Shouldn't be all rainbows and sparkles. Because those are the quotes that, once everything turns to the wind and scatters the perfect little bubble the quote revolved around, get tossed over a shoulder and trampled into the dirt.

They should be the quotes that you can read in the hard times or the happy times, and yet still get the same amount of insight out of them.

My current personal favorite?

"Life isn't about staying dry, it's about learning how to play in the rain."

To Write, or Not to Write... That Is the Question

Today, I was told to create a blog. Pomranka said "Emma, you need a blog."

Okay, well, maybe she didn't say that. But it was close.

So I spent the rest of the day thinking about what I would write about. And here's the long-awaited ultimatum.

Nothing.

Yep. I'm going to write about nothing. Because in doing that, it will give me the freedom to write about whatever I want.

So congratulations, you lucky readers, you have now become a follower of a blog that writes about nothing.

But even nothing is something, so hang in there, and something may come your way. As the great philosopher Socrates once said... Oh. Just kidding. Socrates never said anything about bad bloggers.

I really need to get better at this quoting thing.
