Writing this little ditty once or twice a week is cool with me, but it's not cool when the topics suck. If anyone is reading this (which I doubt), let me explain. I'm not blogging for the joy of it, or to relieve myself of some stress which can only be conquered by therapeutic writing. I probably (no, definitely) wouldn't be doing this unless I had to. As part of my Humanities grade, I'm required, by law, to post a blog somewhere between once and twice a week about some predetermined topic. I don't get a whole lot of choice on what I get to write about. Today, I get to write about what the best/most interesting idea was in class this week. The thing is, I don't want to write about this. It's not that I don't want to write altogether, though; I'd just rather write about more important things on my mind. Dear God, this post is brooding and full of angst! Enough of this; on to the main course.
Okay, so this week we learned a lot about creativity. I find this a bit ironic, because I've always felt that creativity wasn't a learned skill, I thought people just had it. Let me rephrase that. It's not so much that we've been learning about creativity, so much as how to be creative. I'm pretty sure learning how to be creative defeats the purpose of being creative entirely... If everyone "learns" to be creative, then who will actually be creative? Will we all be? Or will the original creative people have to step up their game and try to out-create the rest of these learned creators?
I apologize dearly for the length of this entry, but I didn't find anything to be the best of the week. I just found a little something that I could potentially bitch about.

As promised, your quote of the week!
"I see that twice a day, every five minutes"
Wrap your brain around that one.
Better words could not have been written. These were my exact thoughts as I write about the idea of developing creativity, something which I also believe cannot be forced, as well as being forced to write a specific type of blog entry with the inevitability of sounding like a generic student because of limited ideas to choose from. And then we are penalized for sounding generic! Bitch, please! D:
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I prefer not to think about being creative, or even analyzing my thoughts and creativity. I would go insane from thinking too much if I did, and I think too much anyways! I prefer to just let things happen. Or, I at least wait until math, when all my creative talents, inspiration, and energy activate and prevent me from pretending to give a crap. All I know is, this entry you wrote is real, and does not come out as forced because you were honest how you felt about writing it. This entry is AN EPIC WIN. *claps enthusiastically*
I'll definitely check out your entries more often, as they sound legitimate and non-generic. And the spelling! My God! You can actually write correctly! Bless you, Sir! (okay, I'll stop now...)

P.S. sorry for the length. >_>
