It Doesn't Work!

Some ideas are good when you think about them in your head. But once you try put them on paper, it all falls apart.

That's what's been happening with me for the last three months or so. I've got these interesting thoughts in my mind that need addressing. Things every Indonesians have in common no matter where they live, how some signs (e.g. photographs) become empty signifiers in the digital age, nasty bashing on the internet, etc.

When I tried to write them down though, the piece end up being dull, lifeless and pointless. And I scratched my head, asking to myself, "Er, why did I write that again?"

Which probably means that the idea is too raw, I still need to work it out. Bah!
