Hope in a Decidedly Futile Effort

What's this? Is there another blog post here? Say it ain't so!

Okay, so what's this all about, anyway? In truth, this is a test. Someone (who I won't name, but their initials are Troy Goldie) has found my blog. Or so they claim. Is this unnamed person watching for an update? Will this unnamed person find this post and contact me about it? Hrmmm.... I hope so. CALL ME!!! (Just don't call me bad names.)

I'm not an optimist at heart. I try to hope for the best, but in my heart I know that things will turn out wrong. I'm involved, afterall; therefore, it stands to reason that something will go wrong along the way. I also don't have anything to say to the world. At least, not to the world at large. Certain pieces of the population I'd be happy to tell them to DIAF, but overall I'd rather stay under my varying-sized rock and play WoW. So in a dichotomy that is called my life, I have hope that I will post more on this blog after having already decided that I won't have the motivation to keep posting (resulting in it becoming stagnant for another ... however long it was since my last post). Self fulfilling prophecy? Let me tell you something about prophecy.

A prophet is simply one who speaks for another. To receive a prophecy is to receive a message on behalf of another (typically a divine being) so that it can be communicated on the message-sender's behalf. If I were to declare something to be (according to my beliefs that are of my own design) and then act in a way to carry it out, there is no prophecy involved. The "prophecy" is a declarative statement based on what I think is correct. By that logic a "self fulfilling prophecy" does not exist. I am the one creating the message, I am the one declaring the message to others, and then I am the one acting in a way that makes it so.

Huh?

Let me put it this way: I hope to keep updating this blog. I have reason to believe that this blog will NOT be updated as I hope. Past experience with yourspace and this blog have proven that I did not have the motivation to keep updating these things, and nothing has given me reason to believe that things are different now. The logical conclusion is that my hope of updating this blog regularly is misplaced, and any attempt to fulfill that hope is futile. NONE of this paragraph has anything to do with prophecy.

I like to do what I call "express myself." I think you may call it "rambling." Either way, it's what I do. I'm not a concise person; that's no secret and I'll readily admit that. But as long as what I say is interesting enough to not solicit tl;dr comments, then I don't really care.
