Driving to work this morning, listening to a particular song and it got me thinking [other than "God I really don't have much to say on my blog these days!!! *shrug*]: How often does something moves you in a way, at that particular instance, that you start getting ideas, changing your mood, having a different attitude on things...
Like having ideas on a new project: a sketch, a painting, a musical piece or a short story of sort [yet for some reason blogging doesn't really count for me!], redecorating, a new recipe, a new haircut, a radical art piece or whatever... Stepping out of your norm/comfort zone and actually doing something with your so-called 'idea'!! Getting inspired by certain something and out comes creativity. A glorious birth. How wonderful is that......
But then, almost always, it doesn't happen!
So so many factors play in that scenario from your 'brilliant creative plan' to 'what-was-I-thinking-now-again?'. Yet I'm sure all of the 'unused' remnants are being compartmentalized somewhere in our delicate pretty little heads. But it's so amazing to me just how a certain something [a song, a phrase, a leaf, a papercut, a color, a smell, etc.] can transcend whatever within you to carry your thought from one spectrum/extreme to another... No singular thought is ever stagnat. Everything is interconnected.
As silly as it sounds, that was my observation for this morning. *shrug again*

Again, you are calling all angels. Here I am.
Hiding this comment down here as it may ruffle feathers of people who visit you and I do not want to do that. I wish the media would stop covering Virginia Tech and let the people grieve in private. This coverage is not healthy -- it is feeding something unhealthy in America. I feel very strongly about this I am tuning out.
And in all this, I also feel as badly for the Korean guy. His absolute loneliness, his isolation in a world that was all foreign to him, and his abject friendlessness makes my heart ache. I do not know of anyone else who feels this way but I think you might have in you the capacity to feel for him..

Well...mine might be fried (or elevated -- depends of how one looks at it) from the same in the late 70's and early 80's!

The triggering of creativity from seemingly small and inconsequential things flows easily in me. Is a blessing...and a curse.
Easy for you to say Wilhelm. ahaha! Maybe my brain is just fried from too much acid in the 90's! :-)

I'm stealing a part of your post:
Stepping out of your norm/comfort zone and actually doing something with your so-called 'idea'!! Getting inspired by certain something and out comes creativity. A glorious birth. How wonderful is that......
I have just went through that process and it is amazing!! Things happen for a reason. The smallest things that happen will later make sense.
Just keep moving on !!
Thanks for the comment on the show and podcast :)
Hi Chuck!! Thanks for dropping by. I know what you mean on what you said, but instances like that are rare for me. Or maybe I'm just jaded. But I'm still enjoying life [that would be everything] as much as I could. So I guess that's a pretty good thing.
I saw your picture on Knottyboy's blog. heheh! Cute!! :-)

Sometimes when I don't have anything to write about, I go out and find something new or different.
During the week, aside from running errands during lunchtime at my work, I don't do anything else. I leave the house at 5.45am and don't get back 'til 12 hours later. So I do all my thinking during my commute! heh!
