Caught in a Blues Traveler Song

From the 1994 album entitled Four, Blues Traveler struck genius. They wrote a song that was catchy, pleasant, fun and, best of all, really about nothing. It's called "Hook" and I am sure most of you have heard it by now (it is, after all, over eleven years old).

I mention the song because it reminds me of something to do with blogging.

"What?" you ask. "Are you insinuating that E-Luv's Big Mouth is about nothing?" Well, not really, but I'm sure one could make a case that it's true. I mean, really, what important ground-breaking verbiage have I spewed out to you here?

That's not it, however. I mean the advertising above.

This blog of mine has no real theme. It's just a collection of thoughts and ravings on any and every possible subject. It changes, as we all do, from day-to-day.

I find it hysterical to watch the ads above trying to keep up.

I'd written a political piece a few weeks back, challenging the administration on the war. The next day the ad concerned the troops.

My Little Champion, a story about my son's first Tae Kwon Do tournament, prompted ads for martial arts.

I managed to confuse the system (I'm always proud when I accomplish that), when I wrote about my bipolar disorder. I had written an article called The Blackness which so mystified the ad machine that it stayed with martial arts. Then I wrote On Being A Magnet. The next day, I think it was a science advertisement.

Just when they figured me out and gave an inspirational ad to go along with my Thanksgiving article, I throw Black Sabbath in their face. So Rob Halford became an advertisement.

As of this writing, it's Babe Ruth, because I mentioned his name as to why I would have liked to have met Lou Gehrig.

So, I'm wondering if I throw in here a line or two about a boy who refused to grow and fought pirates in Neverland, what the ad will be tomorrow.

And is it all truly about nothing?
