Which of these fonts should I use?
Seriously, someone please tell me. I can't move forward without having first decided which of these dastardly fonts works best. Which font communicates the words I wish to express in the way I wish them to be expressed. What if I choose the wrong font and look like a complete boob in front of the whole internet? I can't start out the blogging game making that kind of rookie mistake. That would be like if a rock n roll band was made up of only bassists. Actually, that sounds kind of bad ass. They could be called Bassholes, Back to Bassists, Battle of the Bass, or Bass Fishing.
But I digress.
I really wish I had Helvetica up on this bitch. Man, that'd be rad. I can see it now: the superior spacing between letters and the perfect gaps within letters. How magnificent the complexion! How fantastic the simplicity! And oh - the legibility!
What's really weird about all this is how this thing really wants me to use Verdana. But really, fuck Verdana. I'm not even going to write in that font any more. Verdana is probably the font Al Queda uses on their websites anyway.
I still can't get over this Helvetica thing. Things would be perfect. I would already have a huge following. And I'd be getting all kinda of ass.
I also should figure out what I'm going to write on this blog. Before I did a lot of creative writing. And then there's that one political piece on immigration. Though I think I had an idea of a coherent narrative. Take all the literary and philosophical influences my liberal education has given me and put it to use to craft a story about a young 20-something navigating the perilous post-modern world of free information, immediate gratification, and amoralism.
But is it just me, or do the Lucida Grande and the Times paragraphs look exactly the same? Maybe the Times characters are slightly larger. Maybe.
On second thought, they do seem to stick out more.
