Creativity

I'll admit it. I thought that when I first got into recording that I would be all the musical talent that I needed. Ha ha. But I get stuck in creative farts all the time. I am always looking for someone to collaborate with. I love working with other people on their projects; but adding my own style and creativity to others. I guess it takes someone else to get an idea out and get the ball rolling.


I mean sure, music is self expression that comes from within; but I've learned that you can't be a hermit, lock yourself in the studio, and expect creativity to just flow. Music is about life and emotion; and sometimes its life's pains and troubles that bring out the best in musicians and artists.

You always have to watch and listen to other artists for inspiration; but sometimes you just have to experience life. I guess, as 2007 comes to a close, I just can't wait to bury some bad events that happened to me this year. But in reality, I haven't felt this alive and determined in a long time.


Here is to the future and creativity. Doesn't have much to do with music directly, but I thought it was interesting and kind of funny.

Do Schools Today Kill Creativity?

So I guess with that said... here's to the future of a new year, new adventures, and new music.... and fuck you 2007. :)
