Four is almost done. Very soon we will move onto five, the one that comes after four. No sorrow, at least not shed, or maybe sorrow is felt, what does it matter? There won’t be any of it anyway, so it isn’t worth much consideration. So there. Nyah!

I can’t think of anything to say. So this is what they call writers block. It’s definitely not blocking me from writing, though writing anything with content is another story entirely. A long story. One that won’t be told here, because it’s too long, and others might see it, and then it would be too long, well known, and still worthless, so it’s not coming here. Even though it was written right before your eyes mere seconds ago, and even a dunce might still be able to find it as we travel on farther in this tale of sorrow, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. There’s Shakespeare for you. Full on sound and fury, signifying nothing. Many people consider Shakespeare to be the best poet who ever lived, and King Lear to be his best work. Thus, many people consider King Lear to be the best poetry ever written. In your face, Coleridge!

Talking to others, writing about literature. What could be more interesting? Marlow, in Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness is an antithesis to Kurtz, the manager, and the bricklayer, a man full of morals, full of uncompromising principles opposed to men full of nothing, those “Papier-mâché Mephistopheles.” More on this later.

A potent analogy is the comparison of no, not good. Drop the word analogy. Can I? What other words for analogy are there? Comparison, allegory, correlation, etc. In some ways, a woman is like a sports car, and acts in a similar fashion. But that puts too much emphasis on the action part of it, the object part, and not on the abstract, intangible comparison that was the original(still is) intent of the paragraph. An interesting comparison is that of a woman to a sports car, though only in some ways. I like this one. Actually, the one before this is even better, and it’ll have to do until an even better one can be created. There we go. Acts was replaced with treated in a similar fashion for the moment. It seems to fit better. Off we go.

And here I am, writing about nothing, but it isn’t full of sound and fury. It’s more of loaded with random thoughts coupled together into random sentences, united in random paragraphs. Notice a theme here? Yep, each sentence begins with a capital letter. Keep looking, and you might find even deeper, better hidden themes and motifs.

Damsel in distress. They rarely tell you what kind of distress she’s in. Sometimes it’s a dragon, but more often than not, you’re stuck wondering what she is hiding from. Is it killer warthogs, giant beetles, ugly stepmothers, petty thieves? Or is it just a bad hair day? I suppose we’ll never know. But that brings me back to my original statement. Damsel in distress. Normally something like di- would mean opposite of, so distress would be calm, as opposed to stress. Or it might be a numerical prefix, and mean four. So distress could be stress to the fourth power, definitely something worth being saved from. Except there aren’t any more knights. And no armor. And really, if you think about it, no damsels either.
