Tomorrow, Sunday, August 1st, marks the start of a blogging extravaganza which I would like to call "Don't Let Them Keep You From Creatin' Week!" During the entire next week I will be working hard to crank out some form of art everyday till my birthday August 7th. This idea struck me as I thought about my summer. I have listened to countless musical albums, watched an endless list of films, and seen a lot of performances over the past months. I've been sucking down the internets via Facebook, twitter, and music review websites. The word "consumer" comes to mind when I describe myself this summer. I really can't help that much, but I did realize how little I have been creating. Most of the music I listen to is made with the idea to stimulate the listeners imagination. Some of these artists are trying to inspire their listeners to create for themselves. Almost like scientry (science), each person makes a break through then the people that come after get to work using that information. How have I sat on my thumb for so long! I am fat with ideas, but have never taken time to try them out. So this is why over the next week I am challenging myself to produce something for everyday next week. The posts will range from poetry, stories, pictures, music, and whatever else. We'll see how this next week goes. I normally start off with a huge idea then fail mid-way through the project, so wish me luck!
