Inspiration

"I don't think people are being as experimental and innovative enough. I know people can easily say, 'Well, we don't have the Michael Jackson budget.' Wrong, you can be so creative with almost nothing. And that's usually the best stuff, when you strip it down to the bare minimum and go inside yourself and invent. I always want to do music that influences and inspires each generation. Let's face it, who wants mortality? You want what you create to live, and I give my all in my work because I want it to live."

- Michael Jackson

i know a few kids who can find truth and inspiration in those words. i know i do.

i want to make art again.

i miss the feeling of seeing nothing but the paint in front of me (and on me) for hours.

art has always been the one passion in my life. i've been drawing and making paper sculptures since forever. i remember, i once made a 3-D train (including all the stuff on the inside) out of an old calendar. haha, that was pretty dope.

nowadays, i get so caught up in the daily grind that i've totally neglected my passion. when i do have time alone to myself, i'm always too tired/lazy to do anything and i just end up watching TV in bed. i have so many canvases still left in their plastic wrapping, and that kind of puts me to shame.

and now i'm sitting in a cubicle, with no stimulation of any creativity whatsoever.

MOCA this weekend, hopefully.

that should get the ball rolling again.
