All out of ink...

Two minutes to 4:20am and I sit here burdened by passion, undiverted passion.  What else to do but sleep?  I'll tell you what:

  • Write a song.
  • Illustrate.
  • Do work for clients.
  • Yoga & Meditation
  • Self-Hypnosis
  • Facebook.
  • Make a beat.
  • Read a book.
  • Write in a journal.
So I'll just stop at 'Write in a journal' it was this that I needed to do most because all the other options were clouding my mind and I couldn't settle on any but one.  I thought- perhaps since I go to bed and sleep soon that I should at least write out my thoughts to feel a bit more accomplished with my day.  To gather and organize my thoughts onto paper, which is what I was prepared to write on when I found that I had no working writing utensil in my room anymore.  So here I am, with a newly created Blogger profile.  Blogging.  Heh, why not?

It seems as though I had a good streak going at the beginning of February by accomplishing many tasks when all of a sudden- in a drunken state, I threw a sidekick that I learned from Bruce Lee's Complete Fighting Method- a highly effective and very practical kick with full power when the force of my kick ruptured some muscle tissue, in-turn releasing fluid into my knee.  Since then I've been to the doctors a few times- following a ridiculously roundabout way to examine my knee following my insurance companies protocol.  Finally I have an MRI and are ready to see a specialist.  Which is the part of the whole process I'm on.  

Also I've applied to College for Creative Studies which is where I'd receive education I would most benefit from.  CCS being a private-school can be quite expensive unless I have a fitting high school GPA, a acceptable art portfolio and those things alone to obtain a merit scholarship.  Which is what I need to attend this school in the first place.  Regrettably I failed to do well in high school and college that I didn't meet the required GPA to be accepted with the support of scholarship or grant money.  Though this doesn't mean I will never attend, it just means I must attend a community college first and work at that.  Anyway, you know the drill...

I've been more motivated than ever to get to work on new illustration projects, that I think about this daily.  If I don't get started soon I don't know when I'll ever....
It's just that I find it difficult to start because I have money to worry about in my daily life.  Which is funny because I have some money waiting for me from a client who's work I have yet to accomplish...
The work isn't hard at all, it's just I haven't gotten off my ass to take care of it.  This- to me, is unacceptable.  I gotta shape up damnit!

Those activities on the list above are all things that have been on my mind recently.  I should really get my mind to manifest those said things.  I don't want to dwell and write too much on my first post.  So I should just say a few simple yet direct, much needed to be heard things now and those are;

  • Do deep breathing exercises.
  • Relax body
  • Clear mind
  • Prioritize values.
  • Foresee accomplishments.
  • Write out weekly goals accomplish.
  • Create a regimen.
  • Measure success.
  • Write down dreams.
  • Maintain healthy mind & body.
  • "Straighten by fire."
  • Get sun!
Those are all things I need to do and do constantly.  I need to apply all that to the items on the first list, buckle down and push the petal to the metal.  I can do this  OSSU!
