Reasons To Be Interested Part Three

A quick scroll through my posts will soon inform you that I'm not worth bothering with; but, if you'll just hear me out, I may persuade you otherwise. Currently, I'm a nobody — like you. This may not always be the case though. I could be swept up in a tide of fame and rocketed swiftly to the relevant shortlist — I could become known. At the height of my celebrity you could confidently brag to your friends that you used to read my web log when I was a nobody. This near-insignificant piece of information could place you a few centre-metres closer to the upper echelons of fame. Is it worth the risk? Is it worth a few minutes of reading every couple of days? Perhaps when Kevin Burns (not Ken Burns) is making my sixty-minute biography, he'll ask you, the loyal fans from the very start, for comments.
"What first attracted you to read Hugh's blog?" he'd ask.
"He promised us fame," you'd recite robotically in unison.
The more ambitious of you would say something like: "He was a genius. Every word, every comma was perfect to the last drop." — though this may repel Kevin somewhat.
Yes, dear reader, I am offering you the easiest road to fame. No longer do you have to achieve something of worth or have a famous or incredibly rich relation. Now, for just a few hundred words a day, you can taste the good life. After all what's the point of living if nobody notices you?
