Watch, think and read for Friday, Aug 30

In life you will do three things: 

• Ask Questions

• Explain Things 

• Ask and Explain better next time

Here is an example:

How do you figure out who you are? 
How do you know what you believe in? 
What do you stand for?

These are questions you will be asking yourself as you traverse the creative world. 

What makes you feel creative?

These videos make me feel creative:

What are the similarities of these videos? 
Why are these different from cat videos or little kids on nitrous?
What makes these creative (or not)? 

Take a look at the list of questions I have given you below and think about what you want to say about yourself. 

• Write down the names of at least five people (living or dead) who inspire you. Alongside each name, identify one positive quality that they embody. 

• Do you think you’re currently operating at 100% capacity? If yes then how and why? If no, the same. 

• Have you ever dramatically changed a habit, or gotten yourself out of a rut? How’d you do it?

• If you were heading out on a ROAD TRIP right this minute, what would you pack?

• If you were to die three hours from now, what would you regret most?

• Ever fantasize about being in a band? What would your group be called?

• What’s the hardest thing you ever had to write — and why?

• If you could custom blend a perfume or cologne, what would it smell like?

• Give one adjective that starts with your name.

• If you had a time machine that would work only once, what point in the future or in history would you visit?

• If your house was burning down, what three objects would you try and save?

•  If you could talk to any one person now living, who would it be and why?

• If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

• Name one thing you really like about yourself.

• If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

You are going to write a piece of poetry about one of these ideas. Take some inspiration from Soulful Jones. If this does not give you chills I don't know what will.
