Anyhoo, enough with the wish-washy flashy copy pasta quick and lazy work (too many adjectives).

Main purposes of this blog are as the following:
  • Journal to keep track and induce progress in life.
  • Collection of information for the general viewing public.
Goodness, reading back, it looks too formal and simply ridiculous. Lame. Dry.

But I can't be wet all the time, like a doggy's nose. And lameness exists so that handicapped people's homes exist. Or the other way around. Having a tad amount of writer's block now; sad.

Point of the matter is, this blog is going to be written inductively. Inductive is the antonym of seductive, er I mean deductive. Wait, that previous sentence just compares apples to oranges, hence a fruitless effort (what a pun). In short, the blog is inductive; as in to go about points from specifics to general terms. In just two words, generalisation of concepts (oops, that's three).

Feeling vague? Don't worry, I do too.
Examples would do the trick.

This blog isn't intended to bore you away with my daily rantings of what time I woke up, which gyroscopic movement (self-coined term) I used to brush my teeth, what facial soap I use, breakfast (I love breakfast!) and so forth. Those are specific things. What happens in a day, happens in a day, it's a fleeting experience, live through it and it's over.

But what's really interesting and longer lasting is the fact that the general idea about how it was done, rather than what it is, bears more weight or meaning. Referring to the paragraph above (if you skim through my posts, you'd miss it so I'm reminding you now);
a post about the irregularity of wake-up times and the factors to it,
a post about the relation of face-scrubbing to noticeable effects and psychological imprints to it,
a post about what a facial soap should be and it's many other uses (this one's a little dry),
a post about breakfast in general (yeah, did I mention I love breakfast?);
all these posts about simple trivial things complicate themselves and well, become more inflated in substance.

In truth however, it is pretty much represented by the last phrase "inflated in substance", as they are just simple, daily routines. A rose, no matter how you look at it, is a rose.

But a rose is a symbol of love, roses are red (also blue, yellow, pink, white and whatnot with genetic engineering), roses are beautiful yet thorny, roses that are meant to signify everlasting love eventually whither and die.

(I just used an example to explain another example)

Mm-hmm, I have a knack for wasting time.
Spam companies should hire me.

Back to the point.

Why would I bother to drive into unnecessary detail and complexify (the word's wrong) things?
Simple; because I can.

That, and as well as to give people paradigm shifts (I like big phrases). Start looking at the world differently. Our world's population is climbing steadily (until the oil runs out, or a massive epidemic occurs) and each of us are just regular Joes and Janes.

Wake up and smell the roses. Be different. Prod every single detail not just once or twice, but until your prod-er breaks.

And even if you don't wanna do that, just read through the luncheon meat (spam) I produce, and watch my attempt at twisting and turning your world upside down.


Note:
A quicker method to turn your world upside down is to buy a map from Australia. They, apparently, produce maps that place their nation as North. So they're up. An upside-down world.

Wow and I seriously thought for a moment that I had writer's block.
