inspired by jon carroll, a columnist for the sf chronicle, i have decided to try to write a daily or semi-daily or at least bi-weekly column about things i think about while driving in the car to and from work. i have become one of those rolling along the freeway at a rip-roaring speed of fifteen mph every morning and evening, and with two hours of that sort of idleness, i've got to be able to do something with it other than sing loudly along with musicals and have music loudness competitions with the bumping and grinding black suv next to me. it would help if i could write some notes while i was driving, but i can't. it would help if i had one of those mini-tape voice recorders, but then again, it wouldn't, because i wouldn't be able to articulate my thoughts in verbal form or listen back to it when i'm trying to write my columns during work / my lunch break.
what will i do with them? i don't know. have them, keep them by my side - read them back to myself. maybe i will make a new website just for the shit i write. i certainly won't post them here because posting something structured and even maybe edited here would be against all blogging rules. maybe i can offer them up to a 'zine or, gasp, the mac weekly. the point is, there's a lot of stuff out there to think about and what you can think about, you can write about.
for example, the one i'm writing today is inspired by a car i saw this morning whose license plate was ORCA WHL.
i am inspired, in general.
