Spent the morn reading from my Beatles book about the stories behind their songs.
Such brilliant artists everywhere.
Brought my com out into the living room and found net connection. Then went on fb (havent in a awhile) and Lip's album The Game came up. Holy maccaroni. He's so talented and creative, it makes you feel jelly but inspired to do something brilliant like that.

See. It's so SIMPLE. His ideas are so simple and it's universal cuz everyone can understand and relate to it. I bet all his fb friends and everyone in sota saw it.
 How can I make impact like that? Is it possible for my ideas to be really original? Something no one has thought up before? Maybe, most likely someone who has walked the face of this earth has. But that idea has never been executed it out. Yet. And as artists, it's our job to execute it and present it to the world. 'Kay maybe not 'the world', but at least to your social circle. To people whose lives you are already impacting. Is that not enough?

In order to create some focus in my work, I have to think (which I have for the past month D:-).
What do I want to say? What concerns me most? Enough that I want to bring more awareness to it?

Ideas/thoughts that I usually ponder about:
What impact can I make on in this world?
How far can my ideas get across?
Can I ever be as great as Steve Jobs or The Beatles? (thinking too competitively here)
Why do I ever dream of making up stuff like them? (the reassurance of being able to make a living, come up with stuff that people can admire, like and get influenced by, making a difference, a change, thats what its always about isnt it.)

Gonna continue in another post cuz after managing several blogs and writings, long posts are not ideal :/
