Rational thoughts and how to avoid them

Happy post-Singles' Awareness Day, everyone. For the record, I would not recommend spending it without your reason-why-you-don't-count-as-single. Though it does help when they send roses, cards, and chocolate across the continent. Yet another reason why I love the man in -----> that photo. 
Yes, after the next post, it will no longer point to said photo. I get that. It's for effect, work with me.

Moving on.

3 Reasons why I would never start a blog:

#1: It's a fad. I hate fads. I avoid fads at all cost.. like Justin Beiber, Twilight, and hole-ey jeans. Harry Potter is the exception. It just is.
Mandatory Distinction: If I get into the fad before it's a fad, that doesn't count. It's fair game. Thus why Facebook and Harry Potter are okay. 
#2: I don't have time. --Okay, this is a lie. I didn't have time. I do now. Number two is invalid.
#3: I have nothing to write! Yes, I could rant. I can. I do. But would you read that? ...okay, would you read that consistently? Think no. 
Me neither. Therefore, we've come up with a plan. We're following a fad, using time, and writing for [at least] 30 days. Thereby breaking through the rational thoughts and doing it anyway. 

Why? 

Because rationality is the reason none of us ever do anything worthwhile. And I love writing.
