Post Title

Hello, I am a blog post. I exist only because my master and creator wills it... (and also by the grace of blogger and God). I serve no purpose other than to consume minuscule amounts of time from the lives of as many people as I can reach.

I hope I am fulfilling my purpose in [life?] Am I alive? Does a document stored on some server somewhere on the web live? I hear that Memes live. Apparently they are described as
A meme ( /ˈmiːm/; meem) is "an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture." A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols or practices, which can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals or other imitable phenomena. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate and respond to selective pressures.1
Sounds pretty alive to me... and I don't even have ears, I'm just a post.
Back to my purpose in existence... Please read me, so that my master will be happy. He is a good master, I think. At least, I think that I think, if I can think. Can I think?
I don't have any other masters to compare him to, so I have to assume that he is good.

My master has decreed that I have nothing else to convey, except "Goodbye." and the footnotes that he is so fond of.

So, Goodbye.

If "Happy Ever After" did exist...

Sigh, if only...

Then again, who's to say it never exists... Maybe it does... and then you die. Or maybe you die first and then it exists.
Personally, I don't see the harm in hoping for/believing in an afterlife, but you're welcome to believe whatever tickles your fancy.

So I have Maroon 5 - Payphone on Repeat...
The playlist is named "Repeat", I mean. Although I suppose that, since the playlist is on a loop, the song is on repeat, along with others. Hmmm... I wonder if that's what possessed me to give the playlist that name in the first place.

Next.
Levels - Avicii... Practically the only Avicii track that most "Avicii fans" know, as such they are ensuring it has a long and drawn out death. I still like it though, and small wonder, seeing as it's awesome. I'm still trying to decide if I like the Skrillex remix more or less... I originally thought more, now I may review my decision... Overplayed though, much as I love this track, skip.

I have a few playlists, some poorly updated, viz. "Latest", some I absolutely love, yet seldom listen to, such as my Classics playlist, and then there are the auto-generated "Recently Added" and "Most Played"  playlist and my "Repeat" playlist. Now the latter two are strange in that they don't have a mood to them, they are just songs that I could listen to on repeat at the present time. But the thing is that they have some recent songs and some ancient songs. Some high tempo songs and some low tempo songs, and songs of several different genres. Yet, strangely enough, I don't mind the start contrast and transitions like I usually would. Guess that when you deal with your favourites, you tend to overlook things that would otherwise annoy you.

And that's how you steer the conversation away from religious stuff. I think. Mmmm, Steers.
