Hi again!
Good to see you all so jovial tonight. I am too. I just got back from Joshua Tree National Park. It's such an awesome place. I really recommend that you go.
If it wasn't etched in stone before, I just etched my "I's" and chiseled my "T's" on what really helps fuel me creatively. Nothingness!
We can all relate to the day-in-day-out grind that life becomes. Even in a creative industry like Kyle and I work in, life can sneak up on you and syphon out some creative gas.
All of life's stress can build up; car payment, rent, forgetting to move your car on street sweeping day, etc.
Joshua Tree is in the middle of the desert in SoCal. There is nothing there, including crowds of people. Just you, nature and untouched land for as long as the eye can see. Being out there is really inspiring.
The quietness makes it really easy to self reflect.
I hiked up a mountain in the middle of the park. At the summit I was over a mile high and felt like Simba in the Lion King when he talks to Mufasa. I felt like the center of the universe. A little selfish, yes. But isn't that what everyone does occasionally?
I believe that much of the human story is fueled by man (or woman - equal opportunity here) yearning to belong.
While on that mountain I posed myself these questions: Do I belong? What do I belong to? hmmmmmm ... My answers...
Yes, I belong to something special. A creative duo that happens to work on creating movies. A cool gig. More importantly, we work on channeling the human story in a way that is relatable and laughable.
How do going to the desert edition of BFE and our creative duo relate to one another? Simplicity!
Ok, I'm calling it a night. The peyote is starting to wear off. Plus, this pink and purple camel in my bedroom won't quit nagging me about why the title of this blog doesn't relate to what's in the blog.
Until the next hallucinogenic cactus, more shameless self promotion.
