Thinking about the blogs I read. They most interest me when the author either: 1) Finds cool things, references them, adds opinions with a spin or 2) Has an interesting, busy, and unique life, and has something remarkable or from the heart to tell the world each day. I try to be inspired by those I really enjoy.
Unfortunately I can fall into a writing rut when: 1) I’m working a lot and actually not spending that time finding nifty flash projects ;) 2) My life is clinically boring (I try not to let that happen though and can’t remember the last time I was in that state any longer then the time it takes me to say “I’m bored”) 3) Things are really happening but they overwhelm me so much that I cannot process them into a precise, concise, entry. I’m currently in #3 and it is less external, activity based and more internally based. We all create a certain energy for ourselves and I had found that mine was not enough, or it needed to change. I am in the process of doing that and the doing is good. Still, it is hard to write about.
Luckily, when I do fall into these ruts, I have my dreams to fall back on. There’s always something happening when I sleep. Last night was a lot, so much I cannot remember so maybe it was like #3 above of dreamland. I do remember moving into a new apartment and I thought that purple walls in the bedroom + wood paneling was pretty dope. I remember having visitors, wandering the Vancouver streets at 3am though it was actually Regina, having and old UofR classmate flirting me and wondering why, and playing a keyboard and I was damn good.
I think I had a bad hair in my dream, telling me I need a cut. Last time was in April or May…can’t remember. Mike performed miracles with me, shaping my hair perfectly so that I could make a graceful transition between short bob to long hair. Now I’m here and I feel the mop is not representing the mind beneath. If hair could speak mine would have few things to say. So what to do with it? My constraints are: no dye job (I’m still in love with my recently born again natural colour), not shorter again (I am tempted to at times but it rounds out my face so much that I look like a forest animal), minimal hair product (sculpting and shaping must be in the cut itself), and finally, I should be able to wash and walk out if need be. Hmmm…
