See how much smarter things sound when you use words like inquiry? Denotatively, it's no different than if I had just written "question", but connotatively, it's like I've paid thousands of dollars over the past five years for education or something! (I realize that the taxpayers of the great State of Oklahoma footed most of the bill- a fact for which I am grateful, but you get the point.) Speaking of $10 words, "denotatively" is one, but isn't bullshit, like "inquiry". I can't think of a single instance at the moment where "inquiry" couldn't be replaced with a much simpler synonym, but as far as I know, "denotatively" would need a big ol' string of words to get its point across otherwise. Interestingly enough, the Firefox spellcheck doesn't like it. Now, it has no problem with "denotative," but as soon as you turn it into an adverb, here come the angry red underlines of you're-wrongness.
But, to the topic at hand:
I wonder, is it important to you, my readership (which as far as I can tell, numbers anywhere from two to five), for these posts to actually say anything? So far as I can tell, when I'm not telling sarcastic jokes or ranting about politics, most of the time I'm just writing to hear myself talk, so to speak. Do you care? Does anybody read these posts? Sometimes, I don't see how they could really be that entertaining to anybody, but you know, stranger things have happened. Now, I doubt that anything about this blog will changed based on your feedback, but I am a little curious. Doesn't that make you feel loved, my numerous readers?
Heh, my digressing paragraph at the beginning was longer than the main point of the post. Can you digress from nothing? I mean, if the digression was right at the beginning, you haven't really strayed from anything, because there's nothing to stray from. Eh, I suppose you're digressing from the title. There you go.
Perhaps I should reorganize and rethink this post...no, screw that. I'm awesome.

This post is about all my favorite things. Also, I like reading your rantings.
Lol! At least you have interesting things to say. Unlike my blog. Who gives a shit about what I do? So keep writing nothing. I'll read it lol.
P.S. "Now, I doubt that anything about this blog will CHANGED based on your feedback, but I am a little curious."
Hahaha, all that talk about words and then you do something like that. That's quite humorous to me.
Well, I care about it. But you know, that is one of the few things that might "changed" (he he) based on feedback, but now, if I fix my typo, your comment will look ridiculous! So I'm not going to change it. But yeah, that's funny.
Love, you are a ridiculously insane sort of person. I must admit though, your ranting about nothing may very well be better than your rants about 'real things.'
I too love your rants when I can catch them but now since I have my glorious iPhone, I never miss a bit. All hail the iPhone!
