So basically I haven't posted anything for a while, but I've had a lot of ideas floating around in me head. Something struck me recently while I was looking at Shawn Harris' Blog-he can't write very well. I'm sure he's extremely intelligent, and an excellent song writer, but something about his blog makes me want to hit my head repeatedly against a wall. This is a difficult thing for me to admit because The Matches are my favorite band and I consider Shawn Harris to be some what of a musical genius. The thing is he uses all of these big words that don't really fit in what he's talking about and he beats around the bush. I don't know if I've just been brainwashed by college classes but I thought you're supposed to be clear and concise. Your ideas can still be complex, its just that your writing shouldn't seem like a dictionary vomited on the page. I'm not trying to say that I'm a great writer and I definitely applaud Mr. Harris for attempting to educate the masses, its just that it nearly makes me sick reading comments of tons of teenage girls saying "wow, you're like soooo smart," because honestly, his writing bores me. I just had to get it off my chest. Please forgive me Shawn, even though I know you'll never read this.
