I think therefore I am?
Sitting in my room reading the recent Rolling Stones Magazine, trying to think of something brilliant as a career choice. I've been really motivated to do this studio/promotion thing and I'll probably follow through, but in that moment of contemplation it hit me! There is nothing I can think of that is remotely original to do with my life. And then I thought, is there anything original left in the world. Yes, we are all born unique entities with our own slice of the pie to eat. The two things that actually brings everybody on the same plane, Life and Death, are the hardest things for us to understand, explain, realize, and incorporate into our sense of reality. Although somehow human beings have found a way to make that unoriginal as well with cryogenics(or whatever, freezing people) and cloning. Maybe I haven't seen enough of the world or met enough people but I need some exposure to originality. I need an Eureka, something to blow the top off my mind.
I would like to pose a question to those that read this journal. Have you seen anything truely original in the last five years? O.k. how about in the last 10 years? I mean truely original. Not improved or revised but original. Does that bother anyone else but me? Am I having a crisis? What ever happened to evolution? Did it just stop? Does anyone see any signs of it?
I'm saying all this because I really need a creative outlet in my life but I want my creativity to be original. Untainted by the thoughts and feelings of everyone I've ever met in my life. Not that those people were bad people but I want something that is uniquely mine because I'm unique...right? I feel almost smothered by the contents of life. As though there is so much man has "created" that I no longer can see clearly. Oh fuck it! Is it even worth thinking about. Has thinking ever really accomplished anything truely important?
