Making The Keyboard Sing

I don’t write here very often. In fact, I don’t write very often anywhere. I don’t write, because I get caught up in what I think people will want to read, rather than what I want to write.

Either that, or I don’t feel like I have anything original1 to write. If thats the case, then why the fuck did I start another blog? Because I do have things to say. I just hate them. They feel forced, unnatural, and ugly.

All thoughts are ugly until refined, though. So tonight, at precisely 11:14pm, I sat down and decided to make the clackity noise and publish whatever came out the other end.

Once I started to make the clackity noise, even though it was only for a short period, it really made the keyboard sing. I think I like that term better. It sounds sweeter. More beautiful. It makes me feel like I am actually creating something.

The irony is not lost on me that I sat down with the intention of writing something original, and making the keyboard sing, and ended up with a post that is both self-referencing and unoriginal, but I feel better for having this out.

After all, thats what a blog is. A personal expression medium in the form of words. Otherwise its just a collection of HTML and CSS that I feel the need to fuck with way too often2.

I hope to actually get something out of my head at least once or twice a week moving from here on out, and almost promise that if I mention web-design, or something else about my own websites, then I quite simply won’t publish it.
