Summing Up Blogging With a Quote

The Contagion (more on the film tomorrow) quote "Blogging is not writing. It's just graffiti with punctuation," delivered by the indomitable force that is Elliot Gould, got me thinking about how I would sum up my blogging in a single quote. After all there are a lot of ways one can describe themselves as a blogger. Not to mention a near endless supply of movie quotes on the subject matter to pick from. There are those which would allow me to lash out in anger at people who don't bow down to my every whim. Quotes that exist if I want to appear dark and mysterious. Quotes to highlight a deep and passionate intensity for every written word. And of course a few quotes that are there if I just want to continue being perceived as that weird guy with the off color sense of humor.

But all of those things really don't cover what it is I hope to cover. Specifically a quote that displays exactly how I would describe my blogging to someone else. I don't want it to be colorful or exciting; just honest would suit me just fine. So with that in mind I poured through my memory and picked out a quote that I think captures LiE just right. It's not one of those lovely 'memorable quotes' you get on IMDB, and I can't say the surrounding circumstances exactly match the tone I'm looking for. Still, it's just right. Delivered by the ever lovely Shirley MacLaine as Fran Kubelik in The Apartment:

"...I can type up a storm. I just can't spell."

Like I said, it's not sexy. But given the fact that I've had to look up the spelling of more words than I care to reveal for this post, it does the job just right. Though I will admit "I am the author. You are the audience. I outrank you!" from the original The Producers was a heavy contender as well. So now I ask what quote would you use to summarize your blogging?
