As much as giving credit to commercial television for anything productive seems like an incredible error in judgement, I saw about two seconds of a talent show that inspired this week's train of thought. I can't remember what show it was exactly, but there were a bunch of celebrity judges who were commenting on the performance of some dude standing on a stage. The only thing I really picked up as I continued surfing channels, was the enormity of sincerity and earnest belief in the words these people were saying.
Part of me feels like launching into a string of nonsensical words and signals to be correct in expression this week. Suffice to say, forming a sentence feels a little odd right now. You know when you repeat a word over and over until it becomes a meaningless collection of letters or sound? Yeah, that's now.
There's a saying among creative thinkers that goes something along the lines of "if you only work from within, you will repeat yourself". That's the gist of it anyway, which speaks to the need for external stimulation and inspiration. Of course, I like to take it a little further and apply it to life in general, which ends up justifying the need for diverse perspectives and opinions.
