I took the plunge. Part 2: Fuck Y’all
by Eli
considering the number of responses that i got to the previous post, i figured that i needed a follow up. i’m not sure exactly what i’m here to respond to, but i just feel like there is more to say, so i’m gonna say it. first and foremost i need to thank N8 and shane for their support in this endeavor… y’all are my dogs.
i guess that the first thing that needs to be cleared up is my main reason for deciding to take this plunge: complete and utter nerdery. that’s really all that i can come up with, and it seems to make the most sense to me right now. i mean… i’m actually typing slower than i used to, i have to think a whole hell of a lot more about the words that i’m typing, and it’s certainly not near as enjoyable to type these posts as it used to be. but all that aside there is a desire inside of me to do this and do it well. i think i might put it into the same category of desires that which “re-arranging my room” falls. another thought that enters my head is that it will sort of be like speaking another language… and that’s so freakin’ cool!
in the early days of this adventure, i was talking about it with andy and his sister alyssa and they brought up an interesting point about our brains and how they work and develop. apparently the brain can become somewhat stagnate in later life when it comes to learning basic (and complicated) tasks such as tying our shoes, sowing, throwing a ball, typing, and even putting the dishes away. this come about because most of those tasks are learned in early life and, when it is not being used, that part of the brain can actually start to shut down or get rusty.
the lesson here: re-arrange things and flex your brain.
FLEX YOUR HEAD!
Who are you trying to convince, Eli?
I believe the word you were trying to use was “sewing” not “sowing”….I hope that the dvorak set up doesn’t fuck up your spell checker, ’cause you need that mother fucker. Notice I didn’t put a comma there…so the spell checker it a mother fucker, not you.
Nate, Eli meant you reap what you “sew”. I’m almost sure of it. Also, I took a poll, and most people didn’t like the preachy nature of this latest blog. We don’t need to be reminded to flex anything, except our keegal muscles.
