THE LYRIC. "I walk around you, even when you're not around" Wrote this the other evening. Seemed really poignant. Really not attempting to be deep or philosophical, but I believe we do this. It's a piece of insanity that keeps us sane. [Insanity] has become a recurring theme over the past year or so, since I've noticed the trend that we all act in such peculiar manners in certain situations... like survival tactics. Today, I thought about how fortunate I am. To have a place to live that I love, in a city I love... with friends around me nagging me to "go out" and do something with them. Many times, I choose my projects, myself, and my important and odd, expressive journey I'm forging. Having the opportunity to "take a break" with them, makes it all worth it. The natural or default state is to think and create... the diversions are just that. :) STRANGE TRIP. Trauma causes change. I finished watching Kevin Spacey in K-Pax. Seems I can think of quite a few traumatic and life-changing events in my adult life that seeded extreme change in thought and lifestyle. From my perspective, I believe I've learned about how people work bit better and hopefully I've learned more about myself. To some, I may seem just one step closer to insanity, and others value what I share from this experience. Maladjusted? Creative? Open to suggestion. COOL INTERVIEW. Not sure where this idea fits into the scheme of things, but I'd like to interview a pyschiatrist or psychologist that deals with functioning, creative people. Objectivism is so difficult to find... especially in the creative field, where defined lines are drawn based upon critiques, reviews, and passion. What would I do with this interview afterwards? Dunno. Maybe write an essay? If it's good, could submit it to pubs. Not really important now. Just be cool to know how creative people deal differently. peace- seanrox
