Hi

Hi there, whats up late night world blog-o-sphere? Ya, it is a few days from when i did last, maybe a week... Or possibly more from when i last posted. I don't really recall when it was. I remember what it was about but i don't remember when. Anywho back to the post. What will i write about? Hmm....

Well there are a few things. Like, for example, what the hell am i doing up at 4:52 am? Honestly i have no clue, i mean sleep is this wonderful thing that erases time until other people are awake and we can hang out. And be alert in classes and stuff...

Plus you get to have these really cool things called dreams where you get to do anything. You can fly, you can shape shift, you can destroy the universe or make your own! It is amazing, plus it is when you learn and when you sleep your brain makes all these cool new pathways to bring in your new info. AKA sleep is very very extremely, incredibly IMPORTANT! And today it seems like i wont be getting any sleep, as it is now 5:08, i have class at 10, and work at 3 till 11.

And instead i can't sleep so i sit up watching TV on my laptop and writing a rambling blog post. And this show gets me thinking about inspiration. I mean watching the show i know it is nothing more than a piece of manufactured pop culture designed to appeal to kids around my little sister's age and yet i watch it and can't help but admit that they did a very good job on it.

So many fracking parts of it end up resonating with me that it makes me think back to this quote i read once, it goes "if opportunity doesn't knock then build a door". This gets me thinking on writing and other art forms. If you watch TV shows obsessively like i do (for the massive amount of character development that they can do which puts every single movie out there to shame) you see a lot of shows that feature artists of some kind, whenever they fall into a slump they end up sitting around in their boxers watching crappy pop TV for hours on end (wow i can currently relate...) when suddenly something hits them and they sit out something that simply completes whatever they were working on.

And yes i know it is easy to solve the problems in a flash like this in media forms where writers are god simply placing the solution directly into the protagonist's hands. But by the same token the reason it is used in so many different situations is because it happens in life so many times.

Anywho what i am saying is that inspiration and insight can come from many different sources, so be open to it from wherever it may come, don't close yourself to it, and if all else fails go out and find it.
