I want a vintage 70's typewriter. I want the plastic boxy frame bright colors. I want it to look like a toy typewriter. I want it to have a name like "cheeze whiz" or "remi." I want it not in order to feel elitist or as a "conversation piece" but to type away on in the spare room.
For once i might get some real writing done. So, instead of telling my brother since the age of 16 "Yeah, I'm working on a zine." I might really have one close to completion. I might finally get a fiction piece done with out killing myself with constant over editing and just let a story be for once.
I think I've put a solid end to writing music or at least to putting it out there. I'm finally through sulking about it. My life is going a little too swell right now for me to be writing tunes about being hopeless cause i just don't feel that way anymore. I do miss being in a band. (r.i.p.) Now that that periods over with let me at least keep writing and give myself a chance to mature beyond writing popesque sad songs. Maybe make something darkly happy. Let me write from a new point of view. One with a clear head and open mind. Let me find myself in the middle of some real creative thinking. And please let me get there by way of some foresty green typewriter keys. I don't think it's too much to ask for.

i wish i could take pictures of memories that have already happened. i'd take pictures of your band for you. and of you staying up all night just playing your guitar.
ReplyDeleteeven though you aren't doing those things anymore doesn't mean you aren't creative or cool (insert smiley) it just means you've evolved your talents.
so good luck on your ventures in fiction and novels. i support any creepy story you write....no matter how incredibly messed up. they are just stories anyway...i know in real life you are ecstatic! well i'm rambling, what i really mean is that we will one day own a BADASS 70's typewriter named 'remi.'
we have some serious typewriter love too, and have become quite the collectors (we have 6)! we'll should post pics someday and you can be jealous...some of our best love notes are composed there. there is nothing that makes you feel quite so productive as the sound it makes! ps, jarom misses the band too, now and then he tries to pluck something out (it is sad when you forget, eh?)
