Of reality writing and humour

It's a trend so big, king kong seems as dimunitive as a chihuahua in comparision. Yes, ladies and gentleman, welcome to the age of reality writing. This is where writers write funny stories about how they cannot write funny stories, where they share their lives with millions of strangers who they feel have nothing better to do than read about their duel with the shower that stops working in 0 degrees farenheit when you have have soap in your eyes and have a girl to meet in 10 minutes..

We shall now describe the travails of the author of this blog, who, being an astute trend spotter, has decided to pen his thoughts in the third person. The author, fresh from the victory of his battle with the bar-wani (who by his entry into the author's citadel posed a threat to the author's single minded focus on combating his monstrous writer's blog) hunches before his laptop.

The author realizes that true genius is theirs who transform the most mundane of daily experiences into pakenham walsh award winning essays. (topical school joke) He battles the pangs of hunger that rage within him and his thoughts hark back to the events of that fateful morning. He remembers it as if it were just yesterday ... (which, considering it happened this morning, need not be construed as a toast to his memory)

He contemplates on how to make an interesting story about a box of cereal smashing a crystal glass interesting, but drops the idea, not for its lack of melodramatic merit, but for his waning interest in trying to infuse the H-factor into it.

His attention diverted by the soaring temperatures in his room, he decides that he needs to chill. Literally. He resolves to evoke raucous laughter from his readers at a later date. Until next time...
