Blank - This blog intentionally left blank

Choosing a name for a blog is as depressing as starting a new blog. The whole subject of what I am trying to write about has been destroyed by the fact that I had to choose a name for the location that I am going to write about something at first. In this case I am trying to make t-shirts that are blank, but that are printed with the phrase, "this t-shirt intentionally left blank". I wanted to make it personal, by naming the blog "billyt" or "billyts", but no go. So I ended up using the store name for my retail establishment in Los Angeles, Y-Que. Although that was not directly available, so I had to use "YQueTrading", which is linked from here on in as "http://yquetrading.blogspot.com". W/E. So much for being personal, now I feel like I am being forced to be commercial because I don't want a slick name. La, La, La. This should be better for business anyway.


This is going to be my street corner, my yelling spot, my place to go to show stupid things to the world. So far I have only the Blank T-shirt to go forward with, although I did spend a large part of my day making cat designs, I don't take those serious enough to write about them in detail. I should, but I will save that for later. Blank t-shirts are my last salvation and because I am a printer I can't really be successful by selling blank t-shirt all the time, which is why I am making this line of blank t-shirts with the phrase, "this t-shirt intentionally left blank". My biggest decision is whether I should print the design in black ink so that it is readable, or if I should print it in clear ink so that only upon close inspection would someone know what is printed on the shirt. By printing the shirt in the latter fashion the shirt can still be sold as a blank t-shirt, whereas by making the t-shirt readable it would only be another ironic t-shirt pointing to it's own stupidity.
