Yep, you can tell I did art…

The metaphor of the boat in the ocean of ideas reminded me of something I heard a while ago ( I am starting to see a trend here, first the Dan Brown video, now this? whats going on with your nostalgia Jackie?) anyway, it was the way my art teacher in high school explained how to keep a visual diary to me; because, being the perfectionist that I am, I felt uneasy about documenting ideas that I knew I would never use, or could never be bothered actually doing. But the point wasn’t to add these ideas to the diary so that you could remember or use them all, it was just to have an ocean of ideas to expand from. You may use some, but most of them, you will just notice, and let them float away, which is completely fine.

Like an artists visual diary, the network is an ocean of ideas, not just my own, but other peoples as well. I don’t have to only make posts about important things that I think my tutors will like, because floating around and dipping the oar into other ideas can’t hurt, and will just enrich the experience and end result of the idea over there that I seek.
