The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanly sensitive. To him… a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create - - - so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating.

That pretty much explains myself and most my friends.

Last night I went to the Mets Dodgers game to see my two favorite teams battle it out.

Daniel Murphy made this ridiculous play. Props to Parnell for getting over to cover first even though it didn’t seem like there would be any play at all. Such a great play. The whole stadium jumped out of their seats and went nuts.

Shortly after that I went to go see The Roots jam out for 2 and a half hours with a slew of special guests. It was a lot of fun and some great music was played. They do it every Tuesday. I recommend going, I’ll probably be heading to another one soon.

The fireworks at the end of last night’s Death Cab show (during Transatlanticism - backed by the LA Philharmonic) were probably the single coolest concert experience of my life.

This is a pretty good video of them.

This must have been amazing live. The sync of the fireworks and the music at 1:00 is great.

For a writer, it’s a word; for a composer or a musician, it’s a note; for an editor or a filmmaker, it’s the frames. One frame off or two frames added or two frames less is the difference between a sour note and a sweet note, is the difference between clunky, clumsy crap and orgasmic rhythm.

The drive to the airport took about 30 mins. shorter than it was suppose to. Flight at 6. Just dropped off the rental car now I wait for the shuttle to take me over and then check in and board And fly And land And then to my apartment to relax?? Maybe?
I’ve always wondered what it’s like to not appreciate the things I have.
