Another Day, Another Blog Post
Not being able to post pictures is really cramping my style.
Now I have to fill these posts with, like, words and stuff.
Mostly “words” because I can’t put “stuff” up here which would be stuff like pictures because that’s the only stuff other than words that I think I’ve put up here.
So, why did I say “words and stuff” when really all I can post is words? Habit, I guess. Habit drawn from many days and weeks of grabbing a photo and uploading it.
Many times just using the photo in lieu of 1000 words because that’s what a photo is worth, right?
So, I could get away with a photo and a sentence. That was easy. Now I have to, like, think or something.
Somedays, I don’t feel like thinking. You know? Okay, I think of things all the time, but not all of them are things I’d want to share and sometimes I wish there was a way of getting my thoughts into text without the effort of actually having to type them. Not that typing is particularly hard, but I can think faster than I can type, so not being able to type as fast as I can think really holds me back.
Because I may have a brilliant thought, but I’m still stuck typing the previous thought and by the time I finish typing that, I’m already thinking of something else, so that brilliant thought may just get lost in the shuffle.
A shame, really. You don’t know how many genius thoughts the world has missed out on simply because I can’t type fast enough.
And I type pretty fast too.
It’s just that I can think faster.
And somewhere in here was a brilliant thought. But as I’m typing this, the next one has already entered my mind and the next and the next and I’m still stalled back here. So, even though I may have moved on, my fingers don’t have their own memory, so it’s not like my brain can be sending them data that they can store and continue to type out as in some kind of tape delay. No, they more or less have to type in real time, which is a shame for those brilliant thoughts.
My fingers like shorter thoughts. They get done faster. So the longer, more thoughtful ones, well, they get lost in the shuffle. Probably. And we mustn’t forget the typos, because I have to correct them as they happen, which means I sometimes have to backtrack on a thought–not too far mind you, but far enough that other thoughts have been stalled or lost in the meantime.
So, there you go. Another blog post devoid of brilliant thoughts and all because I can’t type as fast as I can think.
A real shame.
