Just wondering
July 31, 2010
If I were to just put my fingers to the keys and start typing, would anything worthy of print come out? Or would the same random jibberish that I’m constantly filtering out of my head in hopes of something more meaningful to appear just pour out onto the screen?
It’s a strange question because only after finishing this meaningless typing will I know the answer. For example, I could write a string of non-sensical words like, “goulgooly”, “bizwuffal”, and my favorite of all, “blimlimlim”. Would these non-sensical words contribute to the overall piece or would they just act as a distraction to my brain farting?
Another possibility that has occurred often in the past is that I just dictate to you about what happened today in my life, something that no one outside of my immediate family would care. Today I went to kung fu, met a new student who is a true delight, and came home to rest up. Got an early start tomorrow so there will be no hard partying tonight, much like every other night. The new student – a 60 year old, petite Japanese man whose commute to the school is at least an hour. He’s such a great guy and I only wish I could meet more Japanese people like him.
Lastly, and this is already happening, is that I continue to narrate about how I’m trying to type. I’m typing about how I’m typing. This is some sort of compu-surrealism or meta-blogging. This is my least preferred outcome since these sentences have even less meaning than the previous.
By now, I’m running close to empty and I think I’m about to end this exercise in thoughtless typing. Thinking about how the ending will come about causes yet again more headaches since there are so many ending styles. I will pre-empt myself on creating a few more short lines on different endings and just end it right here.
Vitamins

The best fortune cookie that I’ve ever received said, “You might have a vitamin deficiency.”
