My blog is a largely irreverent, random collection of my thoughts.

For this blog, I have written rather freely about things that interest me. Like everyone else, I don’t like to write about things that I don’t like. Although there is no general category that one could place my varied blog posts into, I think that they all are characterized by some specific traits that connect them all together.

First, all of my blog entries reveal part of my own character: a mostly bitter, sarcastic, horrible person who can never be trusted in anything he says. Similarly, my blog posts also all show some type of ambition. Whether it is ambition to take a cross-country bus trip, get homework done during class, or find the true meaning behind childhood memories, ambition is always a common theme. It is not a coincidence that ambition and a bitter, sarcastic outlook on life are paired together as common themes throughout my blog. The two often mingle because of the stresses that ambition puts on one’s life and the life of those around him. This relationship is similar to the relation between this blog and the blogosphere.

While my blog is an absolutely meaningless piece of rant-inspired journalism, similar to the overwhelming majority of blogs encountered in the blogosphere, it provides a link from one place on the internet to another. This means that if some poor, demented soul is searching for an appeal to Canadian radio legislature, they might find my blog as a, albeit mostly useless, starting point for their research. That is the true purpose for my blog and the real reason that I strive to create meaningful input for the blogosphere as a community: the hope that someone will one day be helped by my thoughts and concerns about life in the world today. And the children… I do it for the children too.

I think the most important thing that the blogosphere can take from my blog is the acknowledgment that, like most blogs, mine is completely insignificant and useful in only restricted circumstances. Therein resides the power of the blogosphere. The blogosphere has the ability to connect insignificant blogs with worthless bloggers all across the world so that some meaningless pieces of information can be passed from one half-empty glass of knowledge to another, all in the hope that some minuscule amount of progress might be made through this futile struggle.

I plan to continue my blog for my entire life and the entirety of the world, and maybe even until the internet keels over and dies. This plan will be carried out by writing in my blog periodically until the day that I die, when I will pass the blog onto my first-born son so he can carry out the prestigious tradition of spreading the Coelho legacy all over the entire World Wide Web. I can only hope that when I am dead and gone that a starving, suffering child in a third world nation will log on to his computer and discover the true meaning of the blogosphere. I don’t see any way that this would help that poor soul, but that just ain’t what my blog do.

After sloshing through all of that, I suggest reading a more lighthearted essay that can be found on the blog as well.
