It's been far too long since I have last written. I'd say I was sick or something, maybe out of town for a long weekend, but I wasn't. Matter of fact, I even got online a few times, navigated my way to this blog, and didn't write anything. To say I was uninspired would be harsh, but lazy certainly wouldn't be. I guess I'll leave it at that. It's too bad I'm not at least writing something interesting to make up for it. So far this falls into the "won't even bother to finish reading it catagory, let alone comment on it."
So someone told me they didn't like the word BLOG. "Tienes razon" here in Spain means "ahh, you're right" or "you've got a point." And so after briefly thinking about it I decided I didn't either. (This isn't a bandwagon thing.) It sounds ugly and has certain connotations that go with it. Like nerds who have too much time on their hands. Now this wasn't what this person insinuated, but I realized that it's what I attach to it. And since I happen to have a, ahem, blog, I would maybe fall into that catagory. This does nothing to help my self esteem to say the least. I have actually, been accused of having too much time on my hands by another person, concerning this blog. To this I responded by saying that no, I don't have too much time, but rather I choose to make time. I did not recieve a "tienes razon" in response.
So the solution to this problem is to simply change what I call this "thing" that I occasionally post bits of writings on... Not the name of course (café en españa) but substitute something else in place of the word "blog" whenever I refer to it. I do realize that this may not be a successful venture, but what the heck. Anything to avoid stereotyping myself with those nerds who find time to write web blogs.
After going back and reading what I have written so far... In an attempt to stall and think of something else to call this blog... I have realized that it has no point. And if one did manage to prove that it had a point, very few would be interested in what the point actually was. As well, I am doing nothing but cementing this stereotype I have talked about. So I have reached a decision. I will no longer babble on, and drag out this subpar piece of work, but instead I will quickly finish this, and leave the task of coming up with another word to another day. (I would simply not post this, but flippin heck, it's been almost a week since the last one!)
Next time, I will try to write something worthwhile. Until then, you're stuck with this nonsense.

just wanted to say i don't think you're a nerd.
Well... we think you are a nerd who writes a flippin ton about absolutely nothing but in an eloquent way that demands one to keep reading even though rational reminds it is about nothing!
so its split 50/50 on whether im a nerd. more importantly however, i at least got you three to comment. :)
i think you must take a recount! ...apparently it is 2/3 to 1/3! but i must say that it is true that we DID respond!
