I find myself wondering sometimes that I am a very uncreative person. Not for the fact that I am unable to create things, but more in the area that I can't entertain myself without using some sort of electronical device. Is this just a product of my generation? Or is it simply that I am lazy and too dull to think of something creative and thought-provoking. Perhaps it is in-between.
I came across this thought while being bored surfing through blogs, checking email, reading news, and chatting online. I left my computer and went to the next best thing: television. However, that was already occupied. Now I am sitting here, stumped at what to do with myself, and contemplating my own creativity. Anyone else have this problem? I'm sure if I didn't have internet access at my house for more than a week, I would digress into a heaping hill of teenage madness, doing craft projects and diligently working on schoolwork. Perhaps I would eventually turn into those creepy homeschooled kids you feel bad for (sorry if you're homeschooled, I once was) that talk and dress like they are already in their mid-life crisis.
All this contemplating brought on by a simple itch of boredom…amazing. Maybe I'm not that uncreative after all. Then again, after I post this and turn off my computer, I will find something else technological and tinker with it. Bah, it is a neverending circle that I may not figure out — I don't like that.
here’s a couple things…
* read
* watch american inventor
* write about the silly people on american inventor (a fart pad so you don’t smell, or how about your therapy buddy — a creepy blue doll that says “everything will be ok” when you pat its belly)
I’ve surfed here from blogmad, love your stuff!
Surely if you were able to start a blog and keep up it the way you have, you have to have some amount of creativity. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the lovin’
Monika, when is American Inventor on? I’ve been wanting to watch that show since I saw the commercial.
Thursdays at 8:00 on ABC. bet you can find old episodes on TVTorrents.
Here’s a blog of sorts from the show. I must’ve missed the pee bag…basically a body bag that you pee in. gross.

Do you think someone that is not creative could write like you? You have a gift for writing and unique thought, much like my husband. He is creative, but it’s hard to see. Then he pulls out his camera and takes photos of things noone else would photograph, like TV dinners.
