Introduction

Good evening ladies and gents - I'm Eli and this is the first time I ever write on what is known to be a blog. Having at the present moment a very distracted state of mind, I can't pinpoint exactly what to write, so I'll proceed to write about nothing. Nothing is a great word, behold the defintion:

noth·ing (nthng) pron. 1. No thing; not anything: The box contained nothing. I've heard nothing about it. 2. No part; no portion: Nothing remains of the old house but the cellar hole. 3. One of no consequence, significance, or interest: The new nonsmoking policy is nothing to me. n. 1. Something that has no existence. 2. Something that has no quantitative value; zero: a score of two to nothing. 3. One that has no substance or importance; a nonentity: "A nothing is a dreadful thing to hold onto" (Edna O'Brien). adj. Insignificant or worthless: "the utterly nothing role of a wealthy suitor" (Bosley Crowther). adv. In no way or degree; not at all: She looks nothing like her sister. Idioms: for nothing 1. Free of charge. 2. To no avail: all that trouble for nothing. 3. For no reason: fired him for nothing. in nothing flat In very little time; very quickly. nothing doing Informal Certainly not.

It's an interesting word to think a little bit about. Nothing is what many believe we'll end up feeling when we're dead, what we sometimes try to think, many times with no success, when something in life goes awry, and some spiritual masters believe that it is best many times to think, well, nothing, in order to feel better and be more enlightened. I'll ask Buddah about that. Nothing is a mystery (maybe according to Buddha or the Nordic gods). But some of the defintions define nothing to be actually something, therefore the meaning of nothing contradicts itself. Since it can be defined as something, even if that something has no existence, then maybe nothing, with all its meanings and definitions inlcuded, really is a mystery.
