Painted Thoughts

Paint to the canvas, please.
Paint from the brush,
stroke by stroke,
enough for a touch.

I'm not an artist,
in the artist sense of the word.
I've got words,
but do I have talent,
for the brush?

Give me paint,
and I'll try to give you something in return.
No guarantees.

Anything But Work

And once again I find myself in a place where I can get absolutely nothing done. Why is that? Fuck if I know. The only thing I do know is that I am unable to push myself to even start something. It's not as if it's that difficult. Because, really, it's not. It's just motivation that's missing here. I don't know where it went. I just know it hasn't been here for while. Maybe it's just on a really long sabattical.

So I only have two and a half weeks left. Maybe my motivation will be courteous enough to show up by time I need everything turned in?

Lame

Is it lame for me to have a blog? is blogging lame? I'm sure those who find a profession in blogging beg to differ, but in this culture blogging has always been considered "nerdy". Only those who have no time, no life really, take time to blog about their ideas & goals. I recently read a distant friend of mine's blog, and it was very meaningful & thoughtful and you know...sometimes it's easier to take the time & write a blog as opposed to sitting down and writing in a journal. Writing in a journal can be soulfully satisfying, but blogging is more convienient to those who spend a vast majority of their time online (like myself). And really, when it comes down to it, it's all about getting your thoughts out there in the world, so who cares what medium you choose to do this with?

So I've decided, blogging is not as lame as people make it out to be. That's why I'm creating my very own blog, because it makes me feel better when I get my thoughts down onto a more concrete setting. Even if no one is reading this, it really doesn't matter. What matters is my own ideas are being documented so I can back in the future and see my "self progress". What essentially matters is the fact that I have no pent up emotions to randomly burst at any moment. This is my outlet.

So for anyone who has deemed blogging as a "geek sport", well you just don't have an open enough mind to consider what blogging can do for you.
