lower case journey

ithoughts
suppose this were to become a book...
not just some blog on an obscure page in cyberspace.
but a bonafied words-on-a-piece-of-paper with a bunch of paper and a cover around it and it actually sold in stores...or at least sat on shelves in stores...
let's think about what people would like to read...and like it enough they would pick it off the shelves and go lay down cash for it so they could read the whole thing in the privacy of their own home.
it needs entertainment value (draw cool picture here), maybe some tension, conflict between the reader and life, and hopefully something to do with the creator and the created and their relationship or lack of same.

so here we go....a lower case journey ( i read a blog today where someone bashed really badly all the bloggers who write in lower case,so why not be part of the bashees) (oh yeah and to do all the upper case stuff, millions more neurons and synapses would have to fire just to make the little finger move over to the shift key, and we all the know the pinky is the most complex to move, so lets save the electric energy that could be used for upper case and use it for content, given that everyone can still read the thing...who cares. i will use periods so you know it's the end of the sentence or i'll use those three dots... just like that so you will know to pause so get over the lower case thing if you are under it)
anyway here we are in a lower case journey thru the mind of a guy who spells through like this ...thru...
we'll discuss god and god stuff and teenagers, and life in the slums in africa and knats that buzz around your face when you try to type and truth...which can be known even by post modern folk who aren't sure about anything other than their unsurety which of course makes them sure about one thing...so...
there you have it ...
the opening to the big book that you have just purchased off a shelf somewhere so you can read stuff like this.
i don't think it will be the first chapter or even the forward...and for sure not the backword...
just the first page...
unless some publishing company thinks i have to put the copywrite stuff first and maybe their name, and then this will show up on page three or four but...i will name it
PAGE ONE!

i cannot wait to read your thoughts, lanny. i'm pretty sure they'll be better than most of the stuff that's floating around cyberspace.

i promise never to use capital letters in any of my comments. and i promise not to bash you on my blog, which will not be better than yours but will probably have capital letters.
