more evidence time flies

every so often, i head back to blogger, type a few words, and hit submit. voila. a blog entry. it's not regular, so before seeing the date of my last post, i really have no idea how much time has passed since i last wrote.

the only consistent thing: it's always a lot longer than i thought.

apparently, it's been three weeks since i last made a contribution. yet to me, it seems like yesterday. if i were explaining this phenomenon to a strange girl, i'd say it like this (sarcastically, perhaps).

'writing is personal. every word you put down stays with you.'

and like most things men say to strange girls, they're not really true. it's not a lie either, but you being clever gets more priority than you being accurate. after all, if she's a girl, and she's strange -- and you're talking to her -- you're likely considering the possibility of taking her home. given this, witty plays much better than knowledgeable. much, much, better.

in reality, writing is hard. i suspect hard for everybody. and certainly hard for me. humans have an unlimited capacity for easy. that's why places like cheesecake factory and walmart proliferate like adolescent bunnies despite sucking. hard, on the other hand, happens far less often. yet understandably, they stay with you longer. we humans like the idea we conquer great challenges constantly. hence, three weeks between blog postings feeling like three hours.
