Writting it all away

Writing it all away

Years ago, for reasons hard to understand, i dusted off an old brother typwriter i found in my parents garage. After ten minutes of tedious experimenation i finally figured out how to load the paper!

I felt like writting, i felt like alot of things and i guess that was the problem. I needed to relieve myself. A normal young man might need all but a few minutes (an hour) alone in the bathroom to take care of a problem like that, but i had more of a spiritual problem. I wanted to explode my brain all over the paper or let my subconscious reveal itself in the kind of rage that lands you on the front page of the journal. Either that or a few years of therapy and enough prozac to make joe torre smile. The kind of insanity everyone feels when they can't get around something. Like trying to think about the universe when your stoned, pretty soon your lightyears away and its hard to find your way back.

Typwriters have a unique way of connecting you with your story. It's like having sex without a condom; sure it feels fantastic but the next day your pissing in five different directions and you risk getting vd; or in this case finding a spelling mistake after five pages of writing and you cant align with the typebar dispite the key that says "erase" it just doesn't work. That key is a lie! It's a one shot deal, like life. What you type is what you get, and it makes you think harder about what your writing. Writing with spellcheck is like riding a bicycle with training wheels. I just called ninety percent of the world a bunch of pussies. A figure i made up.

Spelling my life away, selling my soul to the keys.

But i threw the paper in the basket like a junkie throws his needle at the beach. Now all i have are memories of paper cuts, 26 keys, and me.
