I need to write. But what to write about? I don't know. I did have a thought recently about the anti creative creator. This person, is generally creative. But rarely do they like people to meddle with their creative ideas. I consider myself a creative person, and generally, I can contribute the occasional new perspective, or provide a unique approach. But recently I had a moment, where I was working in a "creative environment" and I didn't feel like I was allowed to be creative. It was a, "Or we could maybe do this?" and then getting a, "I'm going to do this" back sort of situation.
Maybe its actually my fault, upon further observation. I need to be more assertive. I should just be more up front. "We are going to do this! God damn it if I have to say one more thing I will slap that good for nothing "artistic" (make sure I am using hand quotes, and making a baby voice when saying artistic) smerk of your god damn stupid face!" Well, maybe not that assertive.
But my point is this. If you are working in a creative partnership, you should be working together, as a creative duo. Like the Batman and Robin of creativity. Bad example though, really. Batman was obviously in change during that butt jam.
It wasn't ever, "Hey Batman, maybe I should take the lead for a moment?" If Robin said that, Batman would have been like, "Hey Robin! Yeah that's a great idea!
(Robin looks a bit excited for a moment)
Maybe you SHOULD take the lead. And maybe I should grow a vagina and be your Bitch! Hows that sound? Huh?"
(Robin isn't smiling anymore. I think he is actually crying a little bit. What a pussy)
Maybe I would rather be like... well. Whats a good team? Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? Butch obviously has a much better head on his shoulders. Maybe Cheech and Chong. They were both too high to ever think one was better or more important than the other.
Regardless of all THAT nonsense. I do have some input. But I need to put my man handle out there and be a bit more pushy. I got all kinds of thoughts up in my think tank. It would be a pity to see them go to waste.
