Welcome to The Answer

Welcome to my blog. For a while, I never understood the point of having a blog. It just didn't seem to make any sense to me why someone would want to write in a journal that could be read by absolutely anyone in the civilized world. Then, about five minutes ago, it hit me. These people love reading their own work. They type just for the hell of it. They don't care about other people reading their work, they just like hearing the clackling of keyboard keys as they type. (Yes, I just made up the word "clackling", however it's not a completely unfounded word: http://www.kingdomofloathing.com )

So here I am, enjoying the sounds of my keyboard as I type about absolutely nothing. But for starters, here's a discussion on the best known book in the whole universe:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. The book written about the Guide is even more wholly remarkable. This is a book that is funny. It is the best kind of humor a person will ever be able to find through one's lifetime. You can't skim even a sentence or two, for fear that you might miss a joke or two in the 7 or so words that you are skipping. It's that damn funny. The movie is coming out very soon, and has been in the works for almost 10 years, I believe, and I'm very excited about that, as you may know if you're one of my close friends. In fact, I love it all so much, I've named that blog in honor of the book, and I will reveal to you, now, the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. It is 42.

It seems, however, that the problem is that the question isn't known. Some say the Question and Answer can never be known together, and if they are the universe will suddenly cease to exist and be replaced with an infinitely more complex structure. Confused yet? Good.


OK, enough rambling for now. I must be off to rehearsal for Seussical. Time never stops for the Cat in the Hat. Until next time, fellow...um....people.
