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.
