I certainly wouldn't call this an article. I found the "aside" most amusing - and is almost as long as the so called article.

If you are hesitating about writing an article (as mentioned in the aside) then I'd recommend you come up with something more than a paragraph, where the purpose of your article and your intention is clearly stated - where you instruct or enlighten the reader, and finally where you draw some sort of conclusion.

If you can't do any of the above, then perhaps hesitate some more until you can.
