Stop me if you've heard this
So, creativity. What a weird concept. The basic human urge to make things for no reason other than personal satisfaction and fulfillment. For some reason, I always told people that I was incredibly uncreative and lacked whatever that magic spark was that made a person creative. Of course, foolish was I, who spent too much time thinking about what I should be doing rather than what I want to be doing. I’d think “why aren’t I more artistic or creative like So and So?” But who the hell cares what So and So is doing? (I have reason to believe So and So is a real wanker anyway.) I’ve been repressing the things I want to do for fear that someone, somewhere out there might not think it’s all that great.
All that aside, I can proudly say to you, internet, that I’ve branched the hell out into all sorts of things that I’ve wanted to do in the last few months, and it’s awesome. No other word but that delightfully cliché surfer term can describe it properly. I’ve taken up playing the drums, I’ve got this radio show, I make beer, (if you haven’t already tried it, I have a bottle with your name on it,) and now I’ve got a blog to boot.
I’ve secretly wanted to do something like this (blog) for a long time, but I’ve never really gotten around to it, and it takes some serious self prodding (and some from Anniemosity) to sit down and write my thoughts, as they’re usually zooming about in a chaotic New-York-City-rush-hour fashion through my neural pathways.
On a side note, I’ve had “Loud Pipes” by Ratatat on continuous loop since I started writing this, and it has made the whole writing thing much easier, I’d recommend it. Shoot me an IM (claytron1313) if you’re curious and I’ll send you the track. It’s…well…it’s boss. There I said it.
One more thing before I end this, if you’re not doing anything on Thursday nights at 1am (I know, it’s usually a really busy time for me too) I recommend you tune your radio-box to 103.3FM or go to KUMD.org and check their streaming audio link. I’ve got this radio show wherein I play an eclectic mix of music across a satchel-full of genres. Seriously, I’d love if you’d listen. One of the greatest feelings I’ve discovered is sharing music with others, and having music shared with me. But I’ll get into that in another post I’m sure.
Oh, and 63hz is the frequency at which the human head resonates. When you’re at a hip-hop show, and it feels like the drummer’s got his kick drum pedal right up to your temple? That’s 63hz,
