I wish the gibberish of banging a keyboard was even more eloquent than the understanding that extreme emotion bubbled over so much in that moment that there was no other way to express it
you know what I think?

as a generation (I think I'm going to stop generalizing about my generation). A a person so tied to the internet, including e-mail, IM, facebook and even texting, all forums of immediate publication ond conversation by print, we cannot help but over analyze our motive, emotions and meaning.
by the time I get a thought out in words, no matter how fast I type, it's entirely possible that I have moved on or changed my mind
but it's there, then
oh god
M
it's recorded
(you are totally free to ignore this...which is kind of my point, actually)
no i liked that and agree
M
haha yeah, but now I'm thinking about ignoring online vs. in real conversation
ok. original point. umm
M
it takes so long, there's no understanding of sarcasm or body language or simple emotions, it's all blow up and apart. people can't help but over think everything. with the speed, even punctuation can be lost leaving interpretation so much more up to the reader.
but even more to my point, I'm not sure where i was going with my original point. I'd moved on by the time I got to the end of it.
