typing and writing

"You can't write poetry on the computer".
~Quentin Tarantino

I used to debate that in my mind. Could you write poetry on the computer? Isn't it possible to craft rhyme and meter and verse through the QWERTY keys given to us by Dell or Gateway?The genius mind that is Bill Gates surely recognized the possibility of typing poetry on his braind child that is Microsoft Windows.

Hmm.

Amy got me a leather bound journal for our anniversary and thus the beginning of this thought process which I'm currently sorting through. See, on here, I tend to be much more methodical, logical, and thought out. There's something of a overarching theme to each blog. (The title is what I'm referring to). Thereafter I usually give some type of horseshit to support what I just said.

Yada yada.

But there's nothing creative about that. There's nothing like making the fish hook 'j' or the geometric seeming 'k' or the oh so anarchic 'X' to inspire creativity. On here, all the letters look uniform and if I wanted uniformity then I wouldn't be writing poetry.

My journal doesn't even have LINES!!!! It just begs for some manic inspiration to be scribbled upon it. Thoughts have the opportunity to run rampant and wild instead of being forced to serif or san serif. (I like serif, personally. If I'm speaking too much geekanese just look up 'serif').

SOOOO--- that said. I think Quentin was right.
