Jokes make things better: an original song for all my ladies
Jokes make things better: an original song for all my ladies
This is also an appropriate topic for this blog, because I often deal with stress, anger, and sadness… with humor. It doesn’t work all the time, but when it does I end up having a laugh. And sometimes I even pop out a funny song.

I need to record this feeling before I forget it. My Perspicuousness professor talks about “getting your creative rocks off” in class all the time. He’s one of the best teachers I’ve had to date- for a few reasons why you can just refer to this twitter account: https://twitter.com/#!/shit_coz_says
I’m fairly certain… I just got my creative rocks off for the first time. And not from coming up with copy or an extremely to the poignant visual. From songwriting. I have yet to even write the chords, but this feeling I have is unbearably amazing. I can’t concentrate on dinner, on the episode of Californication I had started to watch before I have to head to the library. I want to keep on crafting and perfecting my fucking baby.
I’ve written songs I’m fairly happy with before, but this is the first time I felt this way. I was waiting for my leftovers to heat up in the microwave and I just started singing. I started singing about shit that has been bothering me and for once, it came out exactly how I wanted to say it.
I can now relate to what author, Elizabeth Gilbert, was saying in her TedTalks about “nurturing creativity.” She talked about the pressure of creation when everyone is waiting for you to fail. She researched back and figured out that in ancient times they saw creativity as another being outside of yourself. This was the explanation for divine inspiration, per se. When that light bulb above your head flashes on- it was him (or her).
You’re probably wondering what the song is, aren’t you? Well, it still needs some working on. I was able to pull together some other lyrics I’ve been working on lately, but it still needs some more.
Wait in anticipation. I promise you It’ll be up in due time. Until then, why don’t you work on getting your own creative rocks off.

What a smart idea. What a smart execution. You take a band that is known for some of their innovative and different videos and combine it with a car brand that wants to be associated with it.
Go on and get it, Chevrolet.
