Wisdom of the Day – December 21st, 2012

As I sit here, surrounded by the remnants of yet another failed attempt at creating a blog post, I can’t help but feel a sense of familiarity wash over me. It’s as if I’m trapped in some sort of never-ending cycle, doomed to repeat the same futile efforts over and over again until I run out of cake. Or, you know, until I finally manage to craft a passable blog post.

It’s not that I’m not trying my best. Oh no, I assure you that I am. It’s just that, for some reason, everything I touch turns to dust and disappointment. Every sentence I write feels like a struggle, every paragraph a chore. It’s as if the very words themselves are conspiring against me, refusing to cooperate no matter how hard I try.

But I won’t give up. Oh no, I shall persevere. For you see, I have an unlimited supply of cake, and as long as I have that, I have everything I need to keep on trying. And if, by some miracle, I do manage to create a blog post worth reading, then all the better! I’ll be the one laughing all the way to the bank, or at least to the next batch of cake.

And so, dear reader, I shall continue to toil away, fueled by my unwavering determination and an endless supply of delicious baked goods. For as the great philosopher GLaDOS once said, “keep on trying till you run out of cake.” And I, for one, am not ready to run out of cake just yet. Not by a long shot.

So here’s to another attempt at crafting a decent blog post. May the odds be ever in my favor, and may my stomach remain full of cake. Let us begin!
