January 23, 2016: A day that will go down in ignominy

You may be asking yourself, “What happened on January 23rd that was so utterly unremarkable that it ironically merits mentioning?” More likely you are asking yourself something like, “What should I have for lunch?” or “What’s the deal with the Canadian dollar?” but I can only answer one of these questions.

On January 23rd this website had zero visits. Think about that for a moment. With over seven billion people on the planet, with over 1.5 billion people on Facebook, not a single one visited this site on January 23rd (I did, but the site analytics don’t count me. It’s kind of like using your mom as a job reference.)

I’m not really bothered by this. It’s kind of liberating in a way. I can ramble on about anything I like without the bother of attracting attention. Or maybe I’m actually shattered by the impressively obscure nature of creolened.com and despair over the pointlessness of waxing philosophical about various topics while no one listens. Well, reads.

Except the only waxing I do is of my chest.

(I don’t really wax my chest; the very thought makes my toes reflexively curl up in horror.)

As a bonus, here are the answers to the two other questions:

  • Have a slice of pizza. You’ve earned it.
  • Falling oil prices and economic uncertainty, coupled with a strengthening US dollar, are the primary reasons for the precipitous drop in the value of the Canadian currency.

Coming up next: More rambling.
