I'm Lost for Words... and......I Want Your Attention

[i]I really am. I don't know why but I'm completely blank right now I want to start a discussion but I don't know what to write so I just started typing this and that and viola you are reading it right now. I also said I want your attention. I guess I have your attention now but what's next? I don't know. I was successful in getting your attention so I guess I'm done and there is really nothing to it. So you're still reading this? I said there is nothing anymore to be read in here. I got my objective and was successful, overly successful because you are still reading this. Still here huh. Are you expecting something because I don't...Can you do me a favor? close your eyes and stop reading this crap that I'm writing LOL[/i] Anyway on a serious note have you ever encounter reading something like the one I have written? It's totally nonsense but as you read you realize something and that is you just wasted your time. I think the most popular would be "After you're done reading this, you have wasted five minutes of your time" What are your usual reaction when come across this stuff? Do you think it's creative or do you think it's complete waste of time and full of crap?

No, he was not wasting those minutes ... he just took a break, got up from the computer went into the fridge got a drink and something to eat and sat back down, which accounts for the discrepancy between your time-frame and his.

You have my attention, but I stopped reading after you said you were done, so I am not sure what you wanted it for. Perhaps I should go back and finish reading the discussion ... on second thought, why waste my time? If it was important, then I am sure you will let me know.

Oh, why thank you for the permission, but it looks a bit long and as I have been such a good girl, couldn't you just give me the short version here?

I do not feel that it is waste of time in reading this script. I always try to understand the intention and thoughts of the writer behind the script. Words are merely the ingredients of the narration. The living spirit behind such narration is to draw attention of those who can create something loving and exciting out of nothing. I always attempt to fill the container of nothingness and blankness with sense and meaning of sharing. Thanks.

I like how worded your statement and I like how you describe the thought you want to incorporate. It appears that you have a wonderful understanding of written things. There is always a subtext and if someone read between the lines he/she will know the true intention of the writer. I wish more and more people would have the same mindset as you because in this day and age, where almost all people are busy doing their thing, a creatively written composition/article/etc would just be overlooked and criticized because of the first hand meaning of it.

A bit of both, actually, but very amusing. The only problem is, where do you go with it now? Is it even possible to continue? I suppose I could try, but I doubt anyone would read it. I mean, are YOU still reading? You are? Wow! There's more to this vacuum than I ever would've thought! How long is it possible to sustain zero? I actually have a big thick fun-to-read book about the creation of the concept of zero (whoops, that came perilously close to being actual informational info, instead of vapid blather. I gotta watch that!), so philosophically speaking, I suppose this "nothing" post is about something after all--in the abstract, nothing is something to talk about, because nothing is something! And black is white & maybe the moon is made of green cheese! This is starting to get heavy--can't have that! Omitting usual sig, in the interest of nothing! There ya go, MyLot. Is that "as descriptive as possible" for being NOTHING, or what? Thank you for paying for it! LOL!

I like that! Those thrilling information and the scary goose who drop her golden egg in the giant beanstalk. The bunny was sitting in the moon because err I don't know. Now my mind is racing again over loaded with information from this box and now I'm getting blank. I guess I will be having your attention once again as the plot thickens and Harry Potter is gonna be the Lion King and wow the Navi people are hear too. Oh I'm just hallucinating Okay I'm happy now see what you've done to me? I can't believe your still reading Anyway I'm happy I made you laugh and smile and that alone is enough

hey...i just saw this discussion darn notifiers for not notifying me.. well, i was thinking about starting a discussion. but there is just too many things which i've experienced lately to choose from.. i'm still thinking about what kind of discussion to start. so when i do start a discussion later, i hope that it would be something worthwhile. if not, it might be a discussion about discussions or something like that. rambling on and on about something or rather without any head or tail to it in the first place. have you ever written so much about absolutely nothing? i have. i'm trying to do it right now. but then how do you write about nothing? by writing about nothing, it would then make it something right? oh, well.. it may be one of those things that i'll never know i guess, because if i see nothing then i write about it while thinking about nothing. what did i mean there? i'm not sure myself... i'm not sure why i even wrote that. well, i guess it goes to prove that nothing can be something when it's written in a way where it can mean something. if not it shall remain as nothing. am i rambling a bit too much now? i am so sorry..but i just can't help myself. your discussion got me into the mood to ramble and ramble on and on and on... and i'm not sure if if others think it's creative...somehow, i do. maybe something like abstract art or something but definitely not full of crap...hehe..

If you had come earlier I would have awarded you the best rambling..err I mean the best response in this discussion. Anyway sorry to have come so late in here I lost my connection this past few days because of a darn storm and thank you for thinking of this discussion as a work of art. I was on mobile when we had that interaction in my other discussion and my thumb grew numb of all that jumping from one box to another but it was fun

just as you have put the tags, .. this is one of the attention seeking, mood motivating, funniest note that I HAVE READ .. of late. you got all the attention you want, from me, and may be a few more of our friends. and, UNLIKE the suggestion that you deemed... this is not a waste of time. AT LEAST, i don't consider this to be a waste. On the contrary, I CONSIDER this topic to be a diversion to all other activities here.

Why thank you Anyway I was really blank at first and I feel pretty lazy to start responding in other discussion When I was writing it I suddenly remembered that I really wanted to make an attention seeking discussion. Something kept me from writing this earlier because I'm afraid I might sound rude and now here it is out of nothingness and my laziness I created something that got your attention and others as well I guess I wouldn't be expecting a lot of response in here because some may think along this lines "you didn't get my attention so I wont respond" and "you said to stop reading so I left"

Hey hex! Nice going! You got your point across! I don't know exactly what else to say! You fooled everyone into reading this "sham" of a discussion and now you/ve gotten us to respond to it! I think you should be commended? or should I say killed? You did get me to waste my time so are you happy now? And WTF is wrong with me? I played into this and can't stop writing either! I need to go get a life!

This is a good way to waste your time. And, to catch so many attentions this way is fabulous!.;-)You see, you made it to the top discussion.:-) I've read a lot of things like this but I couldn't stop myself from reading it until its is finished. I guess, we need to get out of the boring and serious stuff sometimes and treat ourselves to the crap ones like this. In your case, this is creative.
• Philippines

Wow I never knew I made it to the top discussions. If one is indeed a reader by heart he/she will just read about anything and finish it no matter what nonsense it contains I like to be crappy, oh I mean creative

I'm not sure how to respond to this. The title of the discussion catches your attention and the reader later finds out that you didn't have anything to say. In cases like this one that is rude to waste people's time.
