The Simplest Things
July 14th, 2005 -- Posted in old blogs, rants | No Comments »Most people would be happily blogging with simplest thoughts. How envious! When I start writing my own, it tends to get too complex to read, even for myself. I would die for a day to find something simple to post on my blog, but I’m always ending up not liking it and end its short-lived occupation in the posting box by the click of the “x”.
Ok, I’ve just told myself to write something simple. To do this, I’ve to think simple. “Ohmmmmm…” Nope. That only helps my mind go BLANK. Let’s see what I have for the day. Something notable. Something out of the ordinary. Nothing. Craving for the day: none. Something to look forward to: none. Favorite TV show today: none. Book to read: none (perhaps I should). New movie out on DVD: none. It seems I’m now trying too hard to find something to write. The harder I try, the harder anything gets out. Darn. Writer’s block. The minute I stop with everything else and starts typing on the keyboard, I could only think of two things: music and colors. I guess that’s how minimalistic my life is… or how ‘minimal’ it is. I don’t agree. I have no complain about the simplicity of the everyday life. Work and I appreciate daily achievements. Home and I enjoy relaxing. I don’t crave for food. I eat to live. If I enjoy my rituals, it’s not minimal.
Music brings colors to my mind, while the visuals bring music to my eyes. I know this might sound a lil like some messed up sensory system, but I have no better ways to describe how I perceive visual and auditory receptions. I hear the notes and the beats, my mind feels the blue of the sky and the bright light from the sun. When the rhythm gets catchy, there will be midget Boba Fetts with enlarged heads dancing around a light bulb. Similarly, when I’m enjoying visuals, the illustrations sing their songs of their life story to me.
