Magical Items

     Sometimes I think of real world items in terms of how it could be magical. How could the simple finding of this random item begin a story, start a movie, an epic quest etc. I think of what properties could give a pair of boots the weight to send a character on a quest for some or another reason. The other day I found a harmonica on the beach with my friends. It was a good find, a Hohner, C. I've never had my own harmonica before, but this little thing makes me happy. Matthew, Mike, and I discussed what its magical property could be. Somehow we determined it may be a "Harmonica of Spider summoning", however I haven't summoned any spiders with it yet. There was a tiny jumping spider crawling on me yesterday, and the harmonica did happen to be in my pocket, yet I believe this to be coincidence. I hope it is a coincidence.

     I don't really believe this harmonica to be a magical item. What if it was? That would be neat. Do you ever find cool things? Have you ever found a thing that was so cool that you couldn't stop thinking about that time that you found that cool thing? Clearly it has happened to me.

Writer's Block

I found a major source of writer's block in the last six months. It's called 'school'. I've been so busy procrastinating my studies, that I haven't found time or motivation to write into my blogs, or my journals. I realise that I keep 2 blogs, and 3 physical journals. Its not like I'm great at constantly writing, but recently it became apparent to me that writing is a much better activity than simply speaking my mind. My brain-to-mouth-filter either stopped working long ago, or never worked to begin with. My mouth constantly gets me in trouble, so I'm working on diverting some of my daily word count back onto the pages of my many creative outlets.

I've almost finished a sketch book. I'll post some pictures from that one of these days. I've got some ideas and stuff i need to work on. My creative energies have been semi blocked for a while, so I need to find a way to feed and nurture them.

I'm rambling now, so I'll go ahead and it it right here.
