You know, a lot of people love to jump on band wagons, do as much research as possible, check out what the competition is doing and I think that’s great and quite necessary in a lot of applications, but I also believe there is some benefit of originality through ignorance. Paul McCartney said it best “We’re not the best song writers, we’re just the best thieves.” He knew he didn’t create all the music from absolutely nowhere, there had to be some basis, some inspiration to be manipulated from others to write the most amazing songs ever written. But at the same time he surrounded himself with new personal experiences that were his own, connected it with what he heard and bam, “Yesterday” comes flowing like no tomorrow. I love learning about the latest tricks and newest technology as much as the next guy or girl but when I get truly inspired is when organic thoughts of creativity enter my mind and body and come pouring out all over myself. Sounds kind of dirty and messy but the clean up is fun. Putting all those pieces together to form what I consider art. Might not be your art, might not be their art but it’s mine and yours is yours. Sometimes to think outside of the box you have to not know what the box is. The only way I can experience this energy is to find piece in my day, in my life to slow down and absorb what this earth has to offer. With all the daily clamors, inspiration sometimes gets pushed aside because we don’t allow the door to even squeak open just a little bit to let it in. Well I am making a commitment to myself, to life, that I will continue to take that time to get cool, get centered and get inspired.

until tomorrow-
