Today’s Writing Ideas:
Idea number one.
Really, id like to know the thoughts that run through everyone’s
head. Daily. By the minute. Think…explaining your tweets…where the
hell do they come from? For example…
“I was sitting in starbucks. Waiting for my coffee. I had to run to
the restroom. As I leave Starbucks, coffee in hand, I tweet “mmm…
juicy.”
..no one on twitter knows what that means. But I do. You could say
that I was speaking of my…juicy? Coffee…but what I was really
thinking was that it was really hott outside. And my groin was
sweating.”
Obviously, that’s a crude example. But what’s new if you’re
talking to me? I’m sure we all say random things…or maybe not so
random….But what interests me is how all these little tweets are
interpreted, and what they’re supposed to mean. Why exactly did we
choose the words we did? What interest do we want to generate in
order to get some kind of validation? Or is that the case at
all?...is this why facebook is addictive? It’s some weird imagined
community that we can easily belong to?
1. Thought. Explanation.
2. Thought. Explanation.
Write a paragraph about it. Or just list it. Whatever.
Interest number two.
What is the point of YOUR life? What is important, who is ‘just not
getting life’ to you? Do certain people take longer than others to
‘get it’, or do we all really just differ? Can you ‘get it’
without having to live it? Or do you have to have the balls to live
it in order to claim ‘getting it’? What kind of people might
understand life more than others, and vice versa? There are so many
different types of communities/upbringings/people. All of our
perceptions are different. It’d be interesting to put them in one
place.
Idea number three.
How important is health? What do you consider healthy living/being?
What makes you healthy? What…doesn’t? Are there unhealthy habits
that make you happy, therefore deeming them healthy? Or do you
believe that’s …just plain crap?
Question number four.
Why is it important to express yourself?
Perspective number five.
Your favorite life-making memories. Relating back to what’s actually
the point of life, what is healthy, maybe?—what makes you happy?
Example,
What are the things that you want to tattoo on YOUR life, to make
YOUR statement, to leave YOUR footprint? What kind of footprints do
you like seeing, but might not see yourself living? (see why it’s
awesome that we don’t all want to make the same ones?)
What are some things that you said ‘fuck it’ about, and gained a
really great perspective or moment from doing so?
…and were there times when you should have been more careful?
Personally, I’ve never regretted a thing. I love the scars I have.
Yours?
Write a paragraph, or even a list, of the memories (things, people,
adventures) that define you and your generation. Or, if you haven’t
lived them yet, the ones that you imagine should!
Bonus
Log a picture and a song to summarize every day. Either how you felt,
or your favorite thing you did! Give it twenty days. Where’d you
journey?
