What if nobody is there?

It seems to this inexperienced blogger that writing a blog is a lot like being a radio comedian.

If you're that comedian, sitting in a radio broadcast studio by yourself - telling jokes - how do you know if there's really anybody out there listening?

Even if they ARE out there, do you know if they liked or even understood the joke?

I liken my query to that old riddle someone would ask you: "If a tree falls in the woods and there's nobody there, does it still make a noise?"

Now, it's been a long time since participating in a philosophical discussion on just about anything but maybe it's time has come. Or, not.

My first reaction to starting to write a blog was I may be doing so more for my only amusement rather than holding out hope I'm really "elucidating".

Maybe it's more like hallucinating
.
(Yeh, I had to look them both up, too)

I concluded that it's time to ask myself some questions:

"Bar, are you going through a lifestyle change or something? Do you now assume that, even though people paid no attention to you when you tried to enter a conversation by inserting your meager contribution to the subject at hand, it was only because they were waiting for your blog?"

Ergo, "Now they will give you their undivided attention?".

See, these are the kind of insecurities that comedian Richard Lewis captures so well when he's ad libbing with Larry David on the HBO series: Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I have only one piece of advice: "Richard, don't try out those new jokes on radio."
