Nothing Is Something Even If Nothing Is Something

I thought about writing a post. But then I told myself, "Jim, you have nothing to say." So I thought, "Well, then don't post anything at all." So I decided not to write a post. But then I thought, "Even if you have nothing to say, you could tell your fellow MyLotters you have nothing to say," and it would be like saying something. So, that's my post. I have nothing to say. Nothing to add. No quality post to add to the site. Still, saying nothing is essentially saying something. So, we shall see where this entirely pointless nothing post brings me. I still have nothing to say. But yet, you are still reading my nothingness. Is it worth something? Did I say something without saying something? Please let me know, because I am highly interested to know what the hell I have said here. Thanks and have a great MyLot day!

Sounds like you just wrote a "Seinfeld" episode. A post about nothing....

@porwest Oh yes, and you used your imagination to create a post which got responses.

Sometimes pointless writing is good writing.

@porwest That's a good way to look at it.

I am just going to go with the old school of thought that no matter what a writer writes, so long as the pen is moving, that's all that counts.

Seinfeld made a TV show out of nothing.

Damn. You're right. And he made millions. I don't think I will fare nearly as well.

I am often in that same boat. I hear from some users that this should be a category all on its own. Posts about nothing. I have not put up my post about nothing for this evening. I will just skip it, as you did a really good job.

Your nothing was worth something more than other's nothing I've seen some nothing discussions that had me scratching my head.

Yes, nothing is something! And, maybe more often, something is nothing. Write about that next! Looks like my friends yard (sorry to say he is no longer with us).

You were able to tell us that you had nothing to say but you did have something to say which was nothing at all. If you stop for a while and think about it there is always a little something to say even if it is how you are feeling.

My head is spinning trying to work out what you said but you sure said a lot of nothing. You'd make a great politician.
