TEMPLATES

What's going on, peers.

I will begin by forewarning you that my punctuation and capitalization skills may be lacking in this post, i'm kind of exhausted.
As you can see, it's saturday evening...and i'm obviously a raging socialite, because i'm sitting inside (waiting on friends to swing by) writing a blog entry for class.

I thought i'd toss this blog up real quick as i'm thinking about my PWP and how i can apply a template to it.  I'm still having a bit of difficulty focusing my posts down from journal-like banter to something people would actually enjoy digitally biting in to.

:F

That is an example.

SO.  What do we know or think about inspiration?


INSPIRATION- 

1.stimulation or arousal of the mind, feelings, etc, to special orunusual activity or creativity.

inspiration appears to be the root of all new and innovative paths of thought, discovery, and creation.  It is thoroughly lacking in the society of today, a place in which you are encouraged to mindlessly consume substances of control and consumer cannon fodder.

While our government aggressively protests the use of natural mood and mind altering substances such as marijuana, psilocybin, and dimethyltriptamine (three substances proven to have little to no negative side effects) with one gun-brandishing fist, it shovels dependency-forming alcohol and pharmaceuticals such as ritalin, adderall, and xanax down our throats (instead of solving our own problems) and brashly takes the money made by drug companies on millions and billions of government funded addicts.  These drugs often only intensify the problem they are intended to treat, as by weakening the natural production and transmission of chemicals.


the answer is inspiration, in many ways.

STEERING THIS BOAT BACK DOWN THE RIVER...

The best way to flesh out what's inspiring is to ask some fundamental questions, which will lend themselves to my template.  I think each post should include one each of the following, to give a substantial posting.

SIGHTS:  Describing visually striking and inspiring imagery.

SOUNDS: Keeping you up-to-date on the freshest, most creative and unique tunes, or simply sound-related inspiration

SMELLS:  i don't know about you, but i f*cking LOVE great smells.  Not much inspires me more than something which smells really intriguing.  This sense deserves more attention.

TASTES:  have you ever had a sandwich which was truly INSPIRINGLY good?  cause i know i have.

FEELINGS:  both of the tactile and emotional variety, feelings play a very important role in how inspiration is interpreted.

SO WHAT?:  what's really at the heart of this inspiration, when you get right down to it?  the meat and potatoes, the place for poetic verbage and flowery descriptors.

SO I DID:  if inspiration inspires nothing, then i'm not sure it really counts as inspiration.  do you call an aborted fetus your child? i think not.  (well...maybe you do. i wouldn't.)  The inspiration behind each post i make needs to feed into something, some piece of art i'm working on.  This may range from a simple doodle to a painting to a sculpture.  I'll give you some SHORT words on it, but mostly (to me) art is for YOU to figure out.  All i can do is put it in front of you. :]

Alright, i think that just about wraps things up for this evening.  Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

You all have yourselves a merry rest-of-weekend.  BE WELL!

  1. Let's devote some time to this in our next class. If I don't remember to, please bring the class to a (not screeching, but like that) halt, and ask folks to take a look at this sample.
