Absurd - Absurd

I’m not sure how absurd it is that I’m on my twenty-ninth entry and it’s the first time I’ve stumbled upon a word with the exact same meaning and spelling in both English and German. Of course, pronunciation-wise, it’s not precisely the same - the letter ‘s’ in English becomes a ‘z’ in German, and I can’t quite remember if the ‘Ab’ would sound different, but essentially they’re equal. It being past midnight and me being past the legal limit (for driving that is, not writing), I’m also beginning to question whether this entire project is completely absurd. The point is not so much the produced material as the actual process of writing something - anything - on a regular basis. What I’m writing my well be utterly irrelevant, nonsensical bullshit, but the fact I am writing something, in my opinion makes it a valid exercise. Perhaps I’ll come to judge this in a few years time as the biggest waste of time since the Millennium Dome, or it may well have been my ticket to bigger and better things, and therefore be cherished and given some vastly higher status than it truly deserves. It’s also possible it may never be looked at again by anyone, thus rendering a massive waste of bytes that could better be used for cached internet sites or World of Warcraft screen shots. I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see
