where do your ideas come from?
personally i have no idea where mine spring from, or how they do.
all i know is that when i have none, to come by even one can be impossible. at times, they can flow like lava; dangerously fast and consuming everything else. at others, i am as stagnant as can be.
what i do know is that the unexpected can lead to an eruption of creativity from me, and that it is necessarily difficult to provoke myself in an unexpected way.
i think it might be helpful for me if i had a place to come and get random inspiration, be it from wherever and whomever.
inspiration from science that i have no concept of, poetry that touches a nerve never before felt, pictures that paint so many more words than a thousand, anecdotes that detail a life i would never imagine living, or even songs that i would never hear.
so.
what i ask of you is that anything you think might fit that bill gets a home here. the kinds of thing i am looking for i cannot say, but i want surprised; taken off guard and made to think.
i would suggest that we keep it short and sweet for the sake of utility, and maybe some day, bandwidth.
link me up, barbemaniacs.
my own suggestions?
here's some that made me think.
1)
found through grant's rastafarianism primer, and his link to the wikipedia entry for haile selassie, the transcript of the speech that he gave to the league of nations in 1936.
2)
found by my friend and occasional co-conspirator, mike sizemore, some harrowing pictures of a dead woman
3)
and celebrated redneck jim goad giving us his take on 'feeders' |
