I'm already weary of this stupid blahhg.

I've had this thing up and running for less than a month, and already the novelty has faded and it is just one more burdensome chore on my endless list. Why am I bothering? Is every entry from now on going to be some variation of this same lament? I wish I lived in some alternative universe in which the only difference was that the blahhg phenomenon never happened. Can anyone help me out with this? I'm told I have a lot of opinions. But I cannot produce interesting, new, provocative, funny or any other kind of worthwhile stuff as frequently as the blahhg demon demands. Already I view my blahhg as a repository for old stuff I've written for which I've had no outlet. Wait. I just wrote "repository." Why did I choose to say repository instead of depository. The apparently denote the same thing. I'm sure there is some subtle connotative difference that caused me to choose repository instead of depository, but whatever that difference is, I can't articulate it. I have no idea what it is. Would my meaning have changed in any even slightly meaningful way for anyone who reads this had I chosen to say depository instead? Almost certainly not. As you can see, I'm now resorting to some kind of stream of consciousness drivel to fill out this entry in my stupid blahhg. But don't kid yourself. This isn't really stream of conscioiusness at all. For instance, I just paused and thought for a few seconds before I wrote these last couple of sentences. All sorts of thoughts probably flowed by during that time which some part of me apparently deemed unworthy of writing down. I'm pretty sure I could go on like this for at least an hour or two, if I could think of a reason to. But I can't. Apparently, unlike me, there are millions of fellow blahhgers out there who have found a reason to ramble and spew endlessly. What is the reason they've found? Do they think what they're writing is interesting, that there is an audience for all there inconsequential, trivial, mundane minutiae? Do I? And if I don't, what other motivation could I have for writing this word? Or this word? Hey, you. Stop reading this. Go away. How can I stop writing if you won't stop reading?
