my mind was wandering, as it usually does, darting between thoughts of my next artistic endeavor/marketing strategy (sure to garner me immediate riches, infinite stardom, and numerous accolades. HA!) and fantasies, ranging from what meal, caffeinated or alcoholic beverage i might prepare and ingest tonight, sure to cancel out any benefits gained from my strenuous cardiovascular ritual.
i spun my ipod to 'browse,' then 'artists,' then 'radiohead,' finally landing on 'the bends' and tapped 'play.' no better music to zen out to, and i was in the midst of 'planet telex' when my mind remembered a recent post by
drums.
then, not a half step further my eyes looked down to find the remnants of a torn up, driven over, pulverized piece of a cardboard box (below)

was this a sign? am i depriving the world of its next percussive darling genius? my instincts say i'm better off using this delapadated piece of pulp in a future assemblage. i think chuck

Drums, huh?
Jozee, get the earplugs!
And I *loved* this... "sure to cancel out any benefits gained from my strenuous cardiovascular ritual." Doesn't that always suck?
I haven't gotten into Radiohead but everrrrytime my friend Adam plays it in his car I'm going "Who is this? I love it!" and he always says "That's Radiohead again, just get the albums already!" So I got them all last week on my work hard drive so I can discover them finally. :)
oh, geez, and don't get me started on the back falls of exercise..it's just not fair. if i could just convince myself that celery and sprouts are a delectable reward after a hard work out, i would have no fault with the world, my relationships would flourish, i would have the confidence of a silent giant and the heart of an olympiad..and a blissful calm would blanket my soul.
oop. gotta go. i think i just heard the ice cream truck drive by-
Well it would be even MORE awesome if you can look like *that* and tell me that you don't just eat sprouts and celery! See?
I'm off to go eat my Lean Cuisine frozen lunch. ha ha
actually, i have no inclination of picking up any instrument. it just made me think. i wonder how many other string of events 'speak' to me, without my knowledge? i hardly think the physical playing of drums will enlighten me, but rather the act of 'listening' and being open to the possibility..that's where creativity lives.
might be awhile before i make art outta this. gotta let it fester awhile. but i'll keep ya posted!
