It never ceases to amaze me how much power is in space.
This is not a philosophical aphorism (though I should receive commendations, and perhaps several brownie points for using the word "aphorism" in context), but rather a shockingly suface-level observation. When I say "space", I do not refer to that big, vast universe in which we float. Not the space that is "big. Really big. You just wouldn't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is", as Douglas Adams would say. No, I refer to, quite simply- . Space.
The space bar, the enter key, the tab button (I assume, in rare, awkward situations) are all marvelous tools when it comes to blogging. Tapping just one of these can convey an entire facial expression. They can begin a whole new idea, they can add blunt humor to any otherwise boring and foreboding block of text. Best of all, they help lazy people see all the interesting parts of the blog, and skip the dull commentary.
Because people who just read the short sentences are lazy.
You, the reader, receive commendations and brownie points in abundance if you read only that sentence while skimming over this entry. I would stop writing now, but I need enough dull-looking text here to balance out the entry. If I stop now, the single sentence won't stand out. Perhaps there's an art to directing the mind's eye around a piece of work. Perhaps it is like a painting. I'll consider this an experiment. Test one.
