Me Talking About U

You know, it has been a long LONG time since I have blogged.  I know...fortunate for you, right?

Today is the day.  I think.  I really wanted to talk about something very deep.  First I thought about Politics.  Too obvious.  Then I thought about the Mariana Trench.  Too abstract.  Then...I thought to myself "Matt...when have you really blogged about anything very deep?" Truth Matt. Truth.

So, throwing my previous thoughts to the wind I now going to blindly select a letter from my keyboard.  Here goes:  u

Well.  That was not expected.  However, I had a plan.  I was going to write about something that begins with that letter.  Not so sure anymore.  Umbrellas?  Totally useful and utilitarian, but uninteresting.  Unicorns?  No.  That is unimaginative, unreal, and unimpressive.  So...what to write about that begins with the letter U? Ukelele...nope I can't even spell it and don't want to click on that little red line that says "you are an idiot...I am a computer program and I am smarter than you."  I mean, seriously, we did not always have computers to tell us we were stupid.  No.  We actually had the 399 pound Encyclopedia Britannica (the M-Mc and the Md-My...which are there REALLY that many M words before Mc...I mean c is the third letter in the alphabet.) to make us look up information in order for us to feel stupid.  Now...CLICK...you're dumb...move on.  No wonder people bully so much these days.  Seeing so much red on your monitor would make me insane.  Yep.  covefe...all makes sense now.

I have digressed...but from where and what?  Actually, come to think of it, let me revisit that thought about M-Mc.  Is this a thought that only people a little younger than me and older are ever going to even understand?  I mean, the internet doesn't naturally divide things by M-Mc, its now just M.  Will this lead to the unalphabetization of the United States, Uzbekistan, and the Universe?  How will we know how to announce the contestants for Miss Universe?  This is very concerning.

Sadly, no one really cares.  People are apathetic to the utilization of simplistic tasks like alphabetizing.  It is underwhelming to most and I would even dare say people find it useless.  Useless?  How on earth will you know how to use the card catalog, find a name in the phone book, or worst of all, eat your alphabet soup in order.  Wait?  You didn't do that?  Um...me either.  Just heard something about that once.

Understandably, this generation has so many more opportunities that we do.  They have Univision, Under Armor, U2, and so many other great things we never got to even know about.  I don't know about you, but my knowledge base prior to age 12 was limited to words between Aardvark and Antarctica.  I was shocked to find out about underwear when I went to college.

Ok.  So, I wandered off the reservation.  AND...I really wasn't funny today.  But I blogged.  I got a total of 27 words (I am totally counting Uekelele...still misspelled it) and now I am going to get back to work.  Man...I just needed a little break.

Peace.

PS It is spelled Ukulele...I was literally compelled to click on the red line.
