When I sit down at a computer, or a typewriter, I instantly recognize the pattern of characters laid out in front of me. I see what everybody sees, a keyboard. My PC keyboard is slightly different than my mac keyboard, different than my Underwood no. 5, but this piece of equipment is reasonably standard.

I can utilize this piece of equipment more effectively than anybody I know. I type with speed and accuracy. My fingers know exactly when to go where, what situations require combinations of certain keys. I can even hit the numbers along the top without looking, and the <shift> symbols that go along with them (number 2 is also @, for example.)

That being said (and without further examination), it stands to reason that I should have no trouble learning similar tasks.

This is my frustration when it comes to musical instruments. I have tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to learn piano and guitar several times throughout my live. To me, the comparison is pretty straight foreword: a bunch of keys or frets, which correspond to sound (letters), which often require more than one to be pressed (played, picked) at the same time. Granted, music is indefinitely more complex than typing out, say, this random thought - I'd hope that I'd be able to preform, (at least a little!) the task of a simple tune.

I'd wager there's probably some scientists somewhere who've thought of this as well, and figured out all the particulars as to my line of reasoning and why its flawed. But it still irks me.

disc.: this has been an experiment in midnight blogging - i've been up way too long, thinking about way too many random things to be thinking coherently. i hope somebody finds my ramblings at least a partially interesting.

Also: I haven't seen my parents in eight or nine months now, long enough for me to have gotten my lip pierced and the beginnings of a sleeve's worth of tattoos. I also didn't bother to tell my parents about it, and I've got to say I'm really proud of they way they handled it when I walked thought the door today.
