It's not normal to leave a blank in the middle of your own sentence. Usually you only see blanks in questions on things like school tests. If you don't want to say what you ate for dinner, you'd say "I ate something for dinner" or just "I ate dinner."

"Blah blah blah" is used to represent words that someone else is saying that you're not paying attention to: talk that you consider boring or meaningless.
