In today's blog Angus Kennedy has decided to say nothing about anything. Read on to find out why!
I have a confession to make. You see, my growing number of much loved readers, the fact is that I am finding it increasingly difficult each month to write about mundane subjects, like the chocolate eating competitions in America that I was going to cover. I just end up thinking 'Well now, what extreme ignorance'. Or how the Olympic smog will suffocate the gasping athletes in Beijing - 'they decided to hold the games there so what did they expect?
There is a short and simple answer to all of the grotesquely dull subjects that I could have written about this month. What about the advice we have on our cereal packets each morning that reads something like, 'eat cereal not just in the morning, because you could be more healthy if you eat it 20 times a day! Or 'use shampoo more regularly for best results.' Well of course they would bloody say that wouldn't they?
It's all just hot air, everything that I think of does not merit even the energy of thought, yet alone me writing it down onto this sacred page. I have now read through all the piles of potential rubbish and have saved you from it all. I have saved you from thinking about what most people want you to think about. This month I have decided to write a purist page that does not tarnish your mind in any way, especially now after you have enjoyed a good holiday (I hope).
My problem now is that I think too deeply, or let us say, I increasingly
do not think about things that most people want us to think about - our looks, money, pensions, clothes, what we eat, do, say and what we do at work and of course what we should not eat. They all know better don't they? I guess as you go deeper, it's not really thinking, it's just being frugal with the truth. You detect defiance in my verbs? Well, yes, I too have been on holiday and had a good deal of time not to think. How wonderful that was, the very act of not thinking is absolute bliss. So my objective, especially for those who have either forgotten they have even been on holiday, or those that did not go away (sorry, but you are mad - it is inexcusable!) I bring you nothing to think about apart from the thought that it takes to make you not think.
Subsequently I take a very unusual action, I am sure to the delight of my editor, as I am very late in supplying copy this month. I will cut Candid short to give you just a few seconds in the day not to think about the mundane.
Try it - nothing is harder than you think!
Oh, I do have one most interesting piece of news. Nearly 100% of us all came back from our holidays. Now that is simply amazing isn't it!
