Existentialism and how it relates to blogging

Jean-Paul Sartre is by far, the most famous character in existentialism. Really however, the only thing he ever did was to be the first one to name the philosophy. Why am I telling you this? Well, I'll tell you why. That was an anecdote to introduce you to this subject. It was a poor introduction, but I digress. The premiss of existentialism is that there is no real meaning, and no objective truth. It is up to each individual person to create meaning for themselves. All truths are subjective, and even a truth that seems to be "set in stone" so to speak, is subject to change. Why am I telling you this? Well, I'll tell you why. That was an anecdote to introduce you to the following sentences. Blogging is exactly like existentialism. It is up to each blogger to define the meaning of his or her blog. There are no assumptions in blogging, not many real rules to it. And that my friends concludes this blog, and you may wonder, "What was the point of that". I'll tell you what the point was you little bitches. There was none, that was an extreme waste of time for both you and me.
