ODE TO SEINFELD
"I am so busy doing nothing, that the idea of doing anything..which as you know always leads to something...cuts into the nothing and then forces me to have to drop everything." Jerry Seinfeld
Those of you who were fans knew that Jerry always said his show's premise was a show about nothing. That's right, he and his cast could turn 30 minutes of nothing into a whole lotta funny. Whether it was Kramer eating Jerry's cereal or Newman and a look, it was funny and entertaining.
I often wonder if the same principle could hold true for blogging. I have found the well run dry recently. Just not into it as much. I haven't been feeling well. Sucking up too much dirt on the softball fields of socal.
Could I too write a blog about a whole lotta nothing? I have seen them on AR.
I feel the pressure to blog about a topic, any topic. I have thought of none interesting to ME lately. How rude of me to not consider what others may find interesting, I know.
I try to keep my blog subjects tight, you know, somehow related to Real Estate. I do stray here and there into the political or bitchy but not too much.
I know you people out there don't want to read a blog by me bragging about how Staging works, those never get many comments, for me anyway. I don't do many of those.
My keyboard stares back at me in silence lately. It screams, write somthing you dummy....anything....it will make you feel better.
I say...why clog the blog with nothing? Is "nothing" going to inform anyone, make them laugh or cry? Shoot, I can't even think of any good realtor jokes lately, that's something my best friend loves. Did you hear the one about the realtor who......aghh you've already heard that one.
So if you've stuck to reading down this far you obviously have realized that this blog really is about a whole lotta nothing! Thanks for reading it!

I figure since I read it I should comment...About what...Nothing of course! Although I've gotta say, quoting Seinfeld was genius...:-)

Hi Ana: I wondered why I haven't seen you blogging lately. Call me if you need some help finding inspiration.
BTW-great premise for a blog!
Hi Jesse, you may be right, thanks for standing up for nothing!
Hi Denice, thanks for sticking with me, nothing lost but a few seconds right?
Hi Michelle, I will call you just to say hi, I don't do that enough with people, this will be a good excuse. Thanks for popping in for nothing!
Ana-the well's not so dry! Wondered where you were. Very creative post.
I think the best sitcoms ever have been those that were about nothing: I Love Lucy, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Seinfeld, MASH, etc.
This was very clever actually. Well done. I stayed with you and I enjoyed it!
Hi Kathy thanks for enjoying nothing:)
Hi Russell I am with you especially MASH. I became a huge trivia buff on MASH and was stationed at Camp Red Cloud in Ouijongbu (forgot totally correct spelling) I could see MASH mountain from my barracks.
Hi Sharon, thanks and glad you stuck around for nothing:)
Hi Ana ~ Seinfeld is -- by far -- my favorite TV show of all time. I've probably seen every episode at least 3 times and still laugh at them ... and the unusual thing is that no other sitcom makes me laugh. Ever. So, obviously I love the "nothing" theme and find it very entertaining. We like your blog posts even if they're about nothing -- so keep it up!!
Ana
I have enjoyed many of your posts. There are lots of people here that have been your shoes at one time or another. Sometimes though it easy to discount things we know and think everyone else does to.
Robert has an intersting contest that you could write a post for:

You might think about a series on home staging
I have loved your posts on how to do home improvements on the cheap. They have been great ideas and the pictures accent the possibilities.
I look forward to what you come up with :)
Hi Maureen,
I loved Jerry too. He could make me laugh about the silliest stuff! Thanks for the nice words:) You should check out the link Charles posted. Sounds like fun and spending money for the RESA convention!
Hi Charles, Thanks and thanks for the ideas, I checked out the contest link. Writing about myself is quite a challenge, it's a hard thing to do for me anyway unless little snippets. I look forward to reading the entries. You jump in there too! Thanks for stopping by.
I love this and thought that this is so something I needed to see in black and white today.

Ana,
Very cute post. Sometimes I can't think of anything great to blog about! But it's usually shortly after those times that I have a wonderful idea that makes for a fun blog. Good luck!
Ana, I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds it hard to come up with topics ;) Loved this bit of nothing LOL
Hi Shelton, glad you enjoyed and thanks for stopping to comment:)
Hi Carra, thanks, I enjoy your blogs:)
Hi Janice, that's why I love AR we can always find someone to empathize with and share the fun!
Hi Ana ~ I know just what you mean, believe me. My blogs are like hungry mouths to feed - yeegads. I can think of topics - most days - but then it's a matter of summoning the energy to write them after a long day - even when it's a long day of nothing much at all. By the way - your avatar is cuter than cute.
Liz
Hi Liz, you got that right! Thanks for the avatar compliment. I like to think of her as my "happy" me, my webcam photo was getting boring and outdated, must fit time for new photo! Maybe not, I like her too! Thanks for commenting:)
If you look at the top sitcoms of all time, most of them are about absolutely nothing. Each episode can stand on its own.
