Much ado about nothing #TBT

For having nothing to talk about I sure ended up talking about a bunch of nothing. This post originally appeared last year:

I really had no specific topic in mind for today's blog post, so I decided to follow in the steps of two of the world's greatest playwrights, Shakespeare and Seinfeld, and write about nothing.

So, first of all, what the heck does ado mean?

a·do

əˈdo͞o/

noun

noun: ado

1. trouble or difficulty.

   "she had much ado to keep up with him"

   • fuss, especially about something that is unimportant.

     "on the face of it, this is much ado about almost nothing"

I believe it was the 2nd definition that ol' Bill had in mind when writing his play and it's the definition I have in mind as my mind wanders aimlessly.

What is the nothing that Shakespeare wrote about? According to SparkNotes:

Plot Overview

Leonato, a kindly, respectable nobleman, lives in the idyllic Italian town of Messina. Leonato shares his house with his lovely young daughter, Hero, his playful, clever niece, Beatrice, and his elderly brother, Antonio (who is Beatrice's father). As the play begins, Leonato prepares to welcome some friends home from a war. The friends include Don Pedro, a prince who is a close friend of Leonato, and two fellow soldiers: Claudio, a well-respected young nobleman, and Benedick, a clever man who constantly makes witty jokes, often at the expense of his friends. Don John, Don Pedro’s illegitimate brother, is part of the crowd as well. Don John is sullen and bitter, and makes trouble for the others.

When the soldiers arrive at Leonato’s home, Claudio quickly falls in love with Hero. Meanwhile, Benedick and Beatrice resume the war of witty insults that they have carried on with each other in the past. Claudio and Hero pledge their love to one another and decide to be married. To pass the time in the week before the wedding, the lovers and their friends decide to play a game. They want to get Beatrice and Benedick, who are clearly meant for each other, to stop arguing and fall in love. Their tricks prove successful, and Beatrice and Benedick soon fall secretly in love with each other.

But Don John has decided to disrupt everyone’s happiness. He has his companion Borachio make love to Margaret, Hero’s serving woman, at Hero’s window in the darkness of the night, and he brings Don Pedro and Claudio to watch. Believing that he has seen Hero being unfaithful to him, the enraged Claudio humiliates Hero by suddenly accusing her of lechery on the day of their wedding and abandoning her at the altar. Hero’s stricken family members decide to pretend that she died suddenly of shock and grief and to hide her away while they wait for the truth about her innocence to come to light. In the aftermath of the rejection, Benedick and Beatrice finally confess their love to one another. Fortunately, the night watchmen overhear Borachio bragging about his crime. Dogberry and Verges, the heads of the local police, ultimately arrest both Borachio and Conrad, another of Don John’s followers. Everyone learns that Hero is really innocent, and Claudio, who believes she is dead, grieves for her.

Leonato tells Claudio that, as punishment, he wants Claudio to tell everybody in the city how innocent Hero was. He also wants Claudio to marry Leonato’s “niece”—a girl who, he says, looks much like the dead Hero. Claudio goes to church with the others, preparing to marry the mysterious, masked woman he thinks is Hero’s cousin. When Hero reveals herself as the masked woman, Claudio is overwhelmed with joy. Benedick then asks Beatrice if she will marry him, and after some arguing they agree. The joyful lovers all have a merry dance before they celebrate their double wedding.

That's an awful lot of nothing!

My nothing isn't quite that involved and it doesn't involve Soup Nazi's like Seinfeld:

My nothing consists of things like being late with my blog post because my day is now 2 hours shorter because of my commute...I now have less time to do nothing, so even less nothing gets accomplished on a daily basis. Hopefully, I'll soon settle into a routine and I'll be able to get more nothing accomplished! (Still working on this)

What else is not going on in my life? I'm going to 3 events over the next week and a half...I'm going to 2 events in Fresno tomorrow - Appreciation Marketing Lunch and Learn at 11:30 and Simple Success at 6:00, followed by Casey Eberhart's Networking Riches in Van Nuys on the 14th from 9:00 - 6:00 (but lunch is included...plus a professional headshot! All for $47!).

(I did go to Casey's event and the headshot is now my Facebook profile picture. Also, there's another event in Fresno that I'm going to on the 18th...Creating a Referral Based Business)

Speaking of Casey, his SendOutCards call tonight sounds pretty interesting:
