The Catch 22 of Being Creative

It’s the blessing and the curse.


Creative people see opportunities and ideas everywhere. I was listening to Lil Wayne’s song w/ Eminem, "Drop the World" while I was driving back from my morning run. And out of nowhere, this warrior style Anime chick popped out of my head. I don’t know where she was going, but she had a black cape with a laced veil and was walking in slow motion blowing up the streets around her while it was raining softly. A blade came at her face, maybe it was ninja star, and it sliced one of her high cheek bones wide open. The blood splattered everywhere but she just kept walking. She wiped her cheek, took out a toothpick or was it a match and placed it in the corner of her mouth. Her cape flew open and revealed dynamite sticks. She lit one, and threw it grenade style towards the direction of where the blade had come. Then gracefully, she strutted down the middle of the street and kept walking. WHAT THE HELL? Sleep deprivation + Lil Wayne = Deadly daydreams while driving. MAN!

I’m supposed to be designing inspirational cards right now. I don’t even read COMIC BOOKS. What the hell is wrong with my mind? A woman blowing up the streets isn’t going to inspire young women. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! And so this is the problem with my mind. It focuses on what it wants to imagine, I’m just a passenger going along for the ride. Maybe it was the run, too much adrenaline pumping in my veins. But this type of craziness had just got to stop. I mean I’ll never finish a lovely, Disney-esque project at this rate. WHAT TO DO?

At the moment, I can’t start writing about some vigilante style anime chick. I got other projects to finish. She’ll have to wait her freakin turn. Who does this chick think she is anyways?

Man but if you would have seen her heels!  They might have been Charles David not sure though.

  1. Smiles, that was really dope. That happens to me too. I'm learning to either blog or keep a notebook where I detail my visions. I typically have to act on them as they happen so I don't lose them. Can't wait to read more from you! :)

  2. Thanks, I really appreciate it. And yes, I've recently decided to invest in a tape recorder. Not sure if it's called that anymore. LOL But basically something to record my dialogue on the fly. I usually come up with ideas/dialogue during driving, in bed right after waking or while bathing in the tub. :)
