Randolph Before I started this entry, my blog statistics claimed 79,767 words in 589 entries. I'd like to artificially increase these stats to 80 000 words in 590 entries in one go.
Coming up with three hundred words to artificially increase statistics is sad by any stretch of the imagination. On the bright side, I only need to come up with 233 words if we're going for a round number.
There are of course critics who will pooh-pooh this attempt, claiming that it is nothing more than a vain attempt at increasing an insignificant statistic on an equally insignificant blog. I would state in response to these fictional critics that it is not often that one gets to use the word "insignificant" twice in a sentence without sounding completely redundant.
So, without much further ado, let us recap on this blog entry: I am attempting to artificially increase the statistics of my personal blog to match that of a short novel, or even a Masters Thesis. I will receive no recognition in this attempt, nor will I impress anyone but myself and some lowly acolytes that happen to pass their eyes over this discourse.
Sixty words to go!
This morning, as I was driving to work, I noticed how much earlier people are leaving to get to work on time. I remember, not too long ago, having to leave my house by 6:15am at the latest. Unfortunately, this has been moved forward to 6:05am.
I do believe I've broken the record and have now exceeded 80 000 words on my blog. Now if only I could finish that damn novel.
