refining my thesis aka spit the game. & primary focus thoughts.
ok so pretty thought provoking responses to my last blog.
dodger read it and totally *went there* with me, t. checked my head on the finer points, d. thought the entire thing was about him aka "we never listened to RHP together!". the blog spanned like 10 years! in brevity of course. great funny good thought provoking, no?
i do need to refine my thesis. i still own the songs, hey haven't been taken from me, why pathologize the imperfection? it is sacred. conversations on sustainability. and no, the relationships weren't bad contrary to f. jones' suggestion!
ok one more thought for the day and then i'll quit.
i was thinking about one's internal drive/motivation in life, right? their focus. you know how someone would maybe say "music [my art, whatever] is my first love?"
so yeah. ones focus..their inherent focus. as innate as the breath. one might say that to have ones primary relationship in life be to an inanimate object is a sign of a self actualized individual. the ability to get beyond the interpersonal crap and "create". or those wonderful loners whose primary relationship in life is to themselves. also possibly self actualized? others might say that to have your primary focus in life be to a thing or to oneself is a pathology. that humans are social beings meant to connect and to do otherwise is an aberration, lonely. many artists i know are very lonely.
of course the meat exists in the space between and cannot be defined in absolutes, but its something i think of. i am extremely extrinsically driven. human focused. i sometimes puzzle over those who are otherwise.
yeah. who knows where i'm going with this.
