Seriously, your photography is usually reasonably good, but this one fails to have any appealing qualities. Saying it wasn't "meant" to show anything doesn't make it any better, as I'm not judging it based on the goals you set for yourself. Uploading photos just for the sake of uploading photos will only bring down the quality of your gallery as a whole.
sarcasm isn't needed.

i take photos that are pleasing to my eyes - some of them, people agree, many of them people disagree. it's what i do, it's what i enjoy doing. some are meant to be artistic, others are just things that catch my eye. i use my photography in the way many use a paint brush or a piece of writing - when i look at something, i see it differently from what it is. it's almost an annoying, semi-insane situation where i find myself forcing my eyes to focus where people do not normally focus (in this photo, the focus is on a bit of colored hair), or examining things from different angles - i literally see a photograph, or the possibilities thereof, in every glance i take.
because of this, reaction from others is mixed - sometimes it has a generic appeal, sometimes it has an artistic or conceptual appeal - others, it's just a blurry scene with a bit of pink hair.
i don't expect people to see things the way i do, i just take the photos i like to see.

i'm going to be uploading at least a couple of photos here in the next little bit (i've been sorting through the 250+ photos all morning), perhaps i'll go ahead and post a couple of them here.
although, i might just make another thread
