April 12, 2005: boogaloo

this is something which may or may not be a very large project. it is a funny/odd idea to think about, and one for which many examples have trickled in in the course of a few weeks. if you have any good ones, please submit!

I am full into semi-creative production mode. currently, this refers to music, but it really applies to all other genres of artistry as well. inspiration can be either found on the fly or after a series of pre-meditated and summarized thought sessions. then I go into production mode. this involves the transcribing of a beat, writing like a step outline or a paragraph or phrases down, or whatever might apply. then refinement. more refinement and so on

this is how it is seen as a linear process. but sometimes, maybe due to the weather or my blood pressure, all of these elements somehow encircle to form a massive creative nebula. for me, this is like happiness personified. moments like these have created things I tend to enjoy greatly (ilikenicethings, the christmas rap, cadillac's on 22's video, any number of other internet things, photographs etc). the great thing though, is the more skills you have even a slight mastery upon, the more benefits you reap. I don't know why, but I can only assume that when this sort of confluence of events happens, if I had learned the lute I would be producing the funkiest lute music since the greeks.

also last weekend I went to miami and got a lot of big sunburns, and my hair is growing long, and I shaved my facial hair. exciting!
