Textually Active. The perfect text. Vol 1

The previous few entries have gotten me to play with the idea of Texting as an Art Form . It sort of stems back to a conversation I once had with Roddy Doyle in an interview when I asked him about whether the art of writing was in decline, he replied by saying that it has never been stronger, everyone writes, every day, maybe not at a typewriter in a damp study, trying to churn out a novel, but perhaps in an email, or a text message...or a blog. But if you think about it, similar to poetry, texting is literature almost in its purest form, you pare away the fat to be left with the finest of meat, in a text message, you must communicate exactly what you are trying to say in the fewest characters possible, 160 usually. This is my first attempt at creating the perfect text, it's 160 characters long, with correct punctuation and spelling. As with all the best texts, it describes the events of a previous night's social engagement, or more aptly, its aftermath.

I didn’t fall exactly. My head stopped,but my legs started to walk away from me. I found myself at a 45 degree angle, nearly horizontal, then gravity took over.

160 exactly (with spaces). More to come.
