Basket of Bananas

This is, erm...my first post. I have not done this in a while so I guess my rustiness is gonna show. A little warm up might grease up this rusty old ranter.

The initial motivation for writing this comes from the fact that this would be read by my teacher as a portfolio or something that would sum up everything we learn in class on a regular basis. But things change as more letters are being punched on this piece of electronic wall. The thought that this is just a project becomes secondary. I like writing. I almost forgot that I liked writing. Well, I actually forgot I liked writing for quite a while now.

I feel better already. Grease baby!!! Grease!!!

Insights. For starters, I keep picturing how much creative juice I actually need to satisfy the thirst of this monster of a subject. Creativity is key to finding the solutions to the problems that we swim through everyday. And a lot of people are lacking the JUICE. So a lot of people are drowning everyday. Dragged down by the boxes they choose not to get out of. But creativity does not necessarily mean you have to think outside the box all the time, that thought would actually box you in. Creativity does not always mean finding the solution. Creativity can also find problems; a lot of them. Creativity is elegance in thought, freedom in perspective, eloquence in action and grace in being.

Creativity. I think I already said a lot about creativity.

This is going to be a loooong semester. Enough time to polish my gears, clean my engine and spew a stream of mostly deranged and sometimes bizarre set of rants.

That's a basket. Bananas anyone?
