Man is a strange animal. He generally cannot read the handwriting on the wall until his back is up against it.
I have terrible handwriting. I now say it's a learning disability... but a nun who was a very troubled woman hit me over the fingers with a ruler because my writing was so bad.
Sometimes I think there ought to be a coat of arms for all of us who listen to Oberst's band Bright Eyes past the age of twenty-six. 'With Love and Shame,' the motto would read. The handwriting would be the cramped and tortured scribble of a high school freshman.
I just believed in 1979 that prog rock was finished. I just saw the handwriting on the wall. And I believed that if we continued in that direction, our career would be finished. So I kind of led the band to making 'Cornerstone,' which is an album from my point of view which was not trying to be necessarily softer, but more natural.
I do have very small handwriting.
You may not be able to read a doctor's handwriting and prescription, but you'll notice his bills are neatly typewritten.
I handwrite out all my lines. I like to see my handwriting, and I like to keep my notes over time.
I certainly think there are some skills we'll lose as we hand things over to automation. I can barely remember my own phone number now, let alone the long list of numbers I used to know, and my handwriting has completely gone to pot.
As a person with terrible handwriting, I love the computer. I've waited all my life for the computer.
Poets don't draw. They unravel their handwriting and then tie it up again, but differently.
