1. I need to identify those ideas, sometimes they come, but most of the time they stay hidden in a fuzzy faraway place
2. I struggle so much to commit into one thing, to follow through an idea without stopping at the first difficulty or new thing to do…
I had an idea to do an “alternative” tour of Detroit. Take people to sites of interest to various subcultures… for example Elmwood Cemetery, the Heidelberg Project, the abandoned RR tracks near the Eastern Market where taggers do amazing urban art… I would do the tour in an urban-art decorated van or better yet, a vintage hearse. I had this idea back last time I lived in Detroit last time (i.e. between 1995-2001)... seriously thought about it again around ‘03 when I became “down with the Clowns” & considered a juggalo-themed tour… but of course never acted on it. Anyway, yesterday I mentioned it on DetroitGothic.net. And several people thought it was a great idea and encouraged me to follow up on it. So… why don’t I? It wouldn’t be THAT hard to accomplish. Just once I would like to bring one of my many Bright Ideas to fruition. Who knows… maybe seeing my idea become reality would prove addictive, and I would never again let a Bright Idea languish in darkness or wither on the vine.
last night my brother and i were conversing about “orignality,” and its definition. it seems not very many things are original these days, but then again, what does it mean to be original? something may not be “original” to me, but may be to another. (sigh)... this conversation resulted in sharing our ideas dealing with photography, film, and story-writing—art. there are so many things i want to do, but have never planned to act upon them because i’m freightened of what people may think of me. also, what would be the point of acting upon them when i have school to deal with?
from the chit chat with my brother, i concluded that i will act upon at least one of my ideas. i may be scared of being laughed at, but i’ll never know until i try. besides, maybe what scares me so much is the “originality” of my idea? and as for not having enough time, that’s just my “i’m too lazy” excuse… another objective i should enter on my to-do list.
