about me
Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

dumbass quote
- "I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children." --Caitlin Upton, Miss South Carolina Teen 2007

If I were a rich man…
…I’d stop humming the music from “Fiddler on the Roof” and become a patron of the arts!
I’ve always surrounded myself with bright, creative people. It’s not always a conscious choice. Like-minded people just tend to find each other, I guess. The people aorund me have always been what I’d call mainstream creative people, rather than the dark, depressed, isolated, angst-filled artsy kind. I have no bias against them, but I’m a rather cheery person and I prefer the company of other cheery people. Though I suppose all bright, creative people have their dark, depressed, isolated, angst-filled moments, right?
Today, I made a conscious choice to find creative people. Call it my need to belong. My first stop was the most obvious. I browsed through Blogger’s “Blogs of Note.” Immediately, I found two blogs written by creative, ambitious people who are pursuing their creative dreams. I don’t really believe in coincidence, so finding these two blogs has left me feeling a bit excited.
I also discovered several websites about artists and other creative individuals who are pursuing their dreams. One of the best parts about discovering these people was finding out that I have so much in common with them. I could fill a whole page talking about all the different things I found today, but for now I’d like to talk about just one.
The first blog I found is called Cinema 24. If you’re a Blogger, then you probably know about it already, since it is a “Blog of Note.” And it truly is! But if you’re a visitor, then allow me to give you the skinny. Cinema 24 is a chronicle of a couple who is taking their first steps toward starting a small independently owned art-house theatre. Starting with nothing but a nickel and a dream, they are on their way to making their dream a reality.
The blog is very pleasing to the eyes, and Dan’s writing style is casual, but polished. The whole thing is so well thought out that it’s easy to see how serious they are about their venture.
Artists, creators, dreamers… we should all support each other. Helping to get the word out about their project is my way of offering them my support.

June 16th, 2004 at 12:27 amI can attest to everything said here… my writing is casual, yet polished. Har har har. Actually, I usually have to rewrite my posts 1,258 times, but what else do I have to at work?

It’s people like you who go far in life.

about this blog
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
