pdrake,

Interesting thread you have going here....

Many a time, I too, have wished that I could hook my brain up to something and hit download. The ideas are plentiful, the time is not. I even keep a round glass fish bowl for which I scratch ideas down on paper...fold them up and toss them inside. Periodically, I go though this fish bowl and weed out the sucker fish....still, many a good fish goes forever un-noticed gliding through the murky waters of this bowl.

Having entered the Autumn of my years, I'm noticing that these untouched ideas are fast becoming even more important to me. In my life, I have always had to run a road that has paralleled a frontage road of what I would consider my bliss...still, I have had to house, feed, and love a family too....this is also very, very important to me. Like all artists, now and in the past, I wished that everyone one on the planet understood and rewarded artists for their talents. It sucks that the old "starving artist" precursor is the norm.

Well, having vented that, and now that I have put in place some foundations in my life...I want to change....I would like to exit onto this frontage road. Though late, I want to follow my bliss. I want to play out what I consider my role in the act of living.

But, as you mentioned, it sure would be much easier with automated 5 axis machine hooked to my brain :-) Ahhh...if Michelangelo only had air tools.

Free the good fish!,
