Dallas owner Mark Cuban shares a personal problem with his Blog Maverick readers ; it seems Cuban attended a meeting sans PDA or laptop and suddenly realized, “I forgot how to write.”
I literally couldn’t take notes fast enough because as I wrote, I realized I couldn’t read my own writing. Not only could I not read my own writing, when I tried to slow down so that everything would be legible, I realized that actually writing each letter as part of a complete word was actually difficult
I had forgotten how to write. Sure i could fight it out by going slowly. Very slowly. But any skills I had that used to enable me to quickly write what I was hearing or what my thoughts were, had left me.
Am I alone ? SHould I start a self help group ? Should I take a class with 5 year olds to relearn ???
Rather than make fun of Cuban, I’m impressed he went public with his affliction. When’s the last time you saw a blog entry from Jerry Buss entitled “I Forgot To Call A Cab”? or Donald Sterling’s “I Forgot Racially Discriminatory Housing Practices Were Illegal”?
Still, I can hold out hope that someday we’ll be able to enjoy James Dolan’s blogging debut, “I Forgot How To Play Guitar”.
So that’s from Cuban’s blog, and not his LiveJournal?
