12/27/2013 old hat"I can forget all kind of things but I'll never forget a melody" Let me focus on how creative peeps 'enjoy' the holidays this time. Being creative sure gets you kicks and takes you to places you've never been before but nothing is just all moonshine. There is however a 'dark side' to it as in creative peeps like yours truly find that holidays are not 'relaxing' at all but more 'exhausting' and it kinda 'de program' us. Honestly, I have to ask stupid questions like 'What day are we now? Is it now noon or already afternoon? What did I plan for today? ' "I wake up from dreams and go WOW put this down on paper" "You don't get older, you get better" Indeed, we as creative peeps NEED to create and escape cause we think we become 'old hat' if we tend to take a 'day off'. It's an old expression of 'fallen behind' or 'getting rusty'. I NEED to create otherwise the 'dark side' just takes over. I snap at people. I ache all over. I lose all direction. So holidays are really a 'torture' for us instead of a 'relaxing' time. I know, peeps that aren't creative don't get us. It's like a fire burning inside of us and it needs to be fed otherwise it blows out and we're just a shell of what we just were. "Once the music plays it creates me, the instruments move me, through me they control me" "I'm a totally different person when I'm dancing" See, that's WHY I understand... really get Michael, you know cause he's a creative person too. I know peeps call us difficult, weird, strange, out of sync, self destructive and so on... We do NEED love too. We do hunger for relaxation and do appreciate family and friends but sometimes our creative mind is a curse too cause it constantly needs to create otherwise it causes havoc in our lives. Our brains thrive and flourish during projects and hates 'interruptions' like the Bloody Commercial holidays. We're often referred as Workaholics or Perfections but if you wanna achieve something bigger than life, then you have to deal with all the side affects it brings you. You can't 'become' a writer nor a singer or even a sculptor. It's embedded in our brain. We can't shake it off or 'delete' it for a couple of days to bunk like a plant on a sofa. It makes us in what we are, ONE with the story, the melody or the stuff we make. "I love what I so. I'm happy at what I do. It's escapism" Written by Daz.
