After I had written where's the beef?, I found that Reversial had a similar thought posted on his blog, and I wanted to share it:
-----
i feel imprisoned
imprisoned in a little 700×250px box, trying to put my thoughts into text.
often, something I think, see, or feel is simply too profound to fit into a space this small.
the language itself is a restraint; i could not express this in words, even if i desired to.
if i did manage to convey the rough meaning of what i am trying to say, it would feel inadequate and hollow.
pixels on a screen don’t show emotion. they don’t have feelings and passions. they just are.

If you don't already, you should check out Reversial's site. He's a pretty lucid and often profound writer, as well as a great photographer. I take a lot of inspiration from him.
