your creative journey

a little while ago i was at an art event where everyone was an absolutely frothing mad raging creative of some sort or the other. i found it startling that all the little personality wafts i thought unique to me where coming back at me thick and fast. i realised how damn annoying i must be to others. the usual i cant sleep at all as i think creatively all the time, I'm such an insomniac as my heads constantly brimming with ideas, I'm such a human bleeding creative prodigy bla bla bla BLA.
i did think the dude who told me he dreams in written book form totally won the who's more creative social banter competition. (baaastard) . the only reason why i don't actually use the written word book dreaming creative quip is because I'm slightly dyslexic. which is sort of a back hand creative concept really - because it is very well documented that dyslexic minds are out the box thinkers - after all dicslecia is the ultimate form of ceratvie writing. i explained all this to word dreamer guy, which was totally lost, as he had me beat already - punk. so for those wanna be , actually are creative up all night, squirrel monkey creative quippers - this is such old hat. try the i creative dream in words , writing style, Tolkien, language - Elvin. this will have other creatives so wishing they had used that one.

anyway what did amaze me is that most creative folk think being creative is a meticulous study of other peoples creative process. to become carbon copies of Picasso , Matisse all the great masters. the irony of this concept is that these greats became great for the very reason of not following the herd meticulously.

i decided in the midst of the I'm so poor i live on your tin shanty discussion that ........
As their is only one life time allotted us - the masters have lived theres , experimented with there theories had fun carrying and furthering there artistic concepts. obviously we need to draw inspiration from these geniuses but ultimately set our own unique creative course.
as our set of circumstances is completely unique to any life ever lived on this planet - hence we need to reflect our own creative individuality , yes burrowing , learning , creating from all around us. aggressively creating our own artistic style and personalty - not trying to become another bleeding carbon copy and a dead artist society .

well I'm now fully ready for the next art creative ens amble swar"e, Ive upped my game - Jo mamma's so not creative........ i suppose that would be very childish - i could use the I'm so creative i break wind in Xhosa quip. no the dreaming in words still beats them all.
FOR NOW.........
so the next time your between the wedding photographer, hair dresser and the crouchet blanket specialist - you know who you are --- creative word dreamer guy. c.w.d.g - looks like it could be short for cowdung mindyou.
