Entry: Not a lecture today - but a question... Wednesday, October 06, 2004




One new thought can make a world of difference.  One new thought can combine and recombine with others, in almost limitless variations, to create a vast new strata of strange ideas.  Like a dynamic new element in the periodic table or a versatile new word in your vocabulary - suddenly all sorts of permutations are available.

So where do we get new ideas?  Books?  Friends?  Film?  Television?  Art?  The internet?

Where do you find inspiration?  Where do you find sustainance for your concept hungry mind?

I get inspiration-from everything. Words stupid people say, words crazy people say, online journals (stupid or clever), music, films, books, talking to myself, dreams...gosh, I'm inspired everyday and I have no clue why.

I find inspiration in the words of those crazy people that I dont ever want to be like, like those crack heads that are so far gone that every word they say is a drop of absurd wisdom. Or just crazy people in general. Inspiration is more of finding a new pattern of thought

Usually thoughts come a-popping when triggered thru my emotions.

But also i get thoughts when i sit and ponder bout stuff. Like life and the galaxy and even God.

I invented Andinium, a new conceptual element from the periodic table of ideas

Stuff that I see or hear every day, emotions evoked by said stimuli, out of the clear blue...

Yeah.

Well, since I'm a professional freelance writer, my ideas come from a lot of places: out of the clear blue, favorite movies, a phrase in a book that I'm enjoying, a beautiful sight as I drive along the country roads...

I keep an old lady chained up in the basement for when I need ideas.
