Pilot

Here I am with twenty-six letters in front of me, each begging to be pushed. 5 (sometimes 6) of them yawn as they are pushed at least every second, while 21 (sometimes 20) yearn for a chance to be pressed. Why, in the last sentence, four have not even been used. I'm sorry 'j,' 'k,' 'q,' and 'z.' You don't deserve such discrimination. I mean, you, Z, are on the very bottom left of the keyboard. (There you go, K.) And Q, how do you manage with A always talking smack about how mush she makes it onto a page. SOMETIMES AS A WHOLE FREAKIN' WORD! Then there's J and K, modestly waiting for a spectacular, juicy word like 'crack,' or 'jaded.'

But I am their master. I control them and put them in various combinations to convey meaning.

Honestly, I'm stalling. I'm not sure what I want to put in this blog. Sometimes I imagine I'm in a movie. The camera would hold a shot of me typing on my computer, cut to the blinking line on the screen, then to my hesitating hands on the keyboard and finally cut back to my face, lit by the cruel indifference of the monitor. Then, another shot of the key board as I...go. My voice reads what I write to the audience as inspiration strikes and it seems as though my ideas can't be stopped. Then, after a few minutes, I sigh, look at my work. Drag my mouse over to "Publish" and click. Then I close my computer and go back to whatever chore I was working on.

I mean Julie did it in that one movie. Why can't I? Oh yeah, I don't have an idea for this blog. So what makes me keep writing? If I'm honest, it's the soft "tap-tap-tap" of the keys as I finish a sentence, the heavy, yet thin sound of the spacebar and finality of the period/greater than symbol key. My fondness for this is similar to that of one who might enjoy the whir of a typewriter.

I want to write comedy. I think comedy is fun and I think I'm good at it. I guess I just enjoy entertaining people and writing seems like the quickest (I got your back, Q) and easiest way of accomplishing such a task. But what to write about? I think to my heroes of comedic writing, begging for an answer. And I think I got it. See you later!

Remember,
No matter how far you go, there's always 26 letters ahead of you.
