Creatures of Habit.
This blog is for everyone who is unorganized, spontaneous, creative, and content. Content with being unorganized that is. I know many creatures of habit… weather they are musicians who have strange regiments they are accustomed to, or just your regular dude who goes to the same old deli every morning and gets the same sesame roll with two fried eggs, 3 strips of well done bacon, two slices of cheese, and a light and sweet coffee. I wonder sometimes if one who is totally spontaneous can alter their randomness to adapt to a daily regiment & actually stick to it. I have tried it. I am one of those guys who cleans my studio once a month, or just waits until Velotz comes through and neat freaks it back to a livable area. Once i do have a clean workspace, I tend to create CLEAN music…I also tell myself that I am going to uphold the cleanliness of the lab and I often say to myself ( Its not so hard, just clean up after yourself).
Hmmmmmmmmm……NO! I love being a slob. Don’t get me wrong, I am a clean person…I am just against the grain, unorganized, and ultimately lazy when it comes to something that requires no creativity. The beauty of being content with this scenario is… when I have a messy studio, I tend to make grungy beats. I cannot eat the same thing two days in a row, I don’t even like to drive on the same roads twice in a day, and I certainly love a little randomness to keep my wheels turning. People who know me, are aware that they can probably catch me about to hit the hay when they are having their coffee in the morning…this isn’t everyday, but again – Why not? I don’t feel guilty as long as I am working. If i were drinking a bottle of liquor and staying up til 5-6am … then I would imagine feeling guilt. One thing in my life that is habitual is cigarettes. I fuckin’ hate them… they smell. If they didn’t smell, I wouldn’t mind them. Maybe Camel should invent an odorless stoge, and i’ll gladly smoke all day without any thoughts of quitting. Anyhow, back to work…not sure exactly what I am going to work on …but thats exactly why I love what i do…FREEDOM!
