You ever have a long debate/fight with someone and think of something brilliant you could have said to them after the fact? It's an awful feeling. You drive yourself crazy thinking about how said discussion would have turned out if you had come up with those money lines while involved in it.
Well I just wrote half of a monster blog entry and for whatever reason the computer I was typing away on just shut down and blogger decided it didn't want to save my material every 6 seconds like it usually does, leaving me annoyed and completely material-less.
The best analogy I could come up with while fuming mad and possibly a hair inebriated ties these two things together....I would venture to say that losing something--in this case a piece of writing--that you've put a decent amount of time into is kind of like being in an argument and giving a laying out a perfect point...only to find out that after you've spouted off for 5 eloquent and flawless minutes that the recipient of your rant did not hear you. There's no way you can replicate the genius you put into words again. Whatever you say will be a dumbed down version of what you said before.
Moral of the story: Losing your work sucks. Especially when you can't bust out more than 2 blog entries a month and all you want is to get your point across without sounding like an idiot....too late.
