I was sad for a minute today. But then I realized that djs and musicians always need to know who i'm listening to, and subsequently fall in love with my music collection. Which is very flattering, but rather silly, seeing as how I specialize in the visual, not the audio. You know, paintbrushes? Yeah, those. And then I thought to myself, I thought, "Self, these successful people that you've unwittingly admired are feeding off YOUR taste." Now, I have plenty of ideas to go around and creativity is for sharing. But it's high time I realize that perhaps rather than assume someone else knows better, it would be more productive to embrace the very sexy truth that my vision comes from within, and cannot be produced by anybody else but me, and there is value in that. Dammit. So, thanks for the mini ego boost, New York musician. (And yes, it kind of made me smile, despite that he's in the same social circle of that other person we know so well...) But anyway...
