Borders
I used to love going to Borders back in California. Too bad Indigo doesn’t have that much chairs available. And too bad it’s not a 5 minutes walk to the beach too ;)

Zzzz…
Not enough sleeping this week-end, I hope I will be able to work.

My desk in on. The varnish is still drying. But I’m so happy to have this huuuge desk now. Can’t wait to start. I just need to do a big billboard now to post my ideas.

OK. Smoothies and breakfast here I come. Get up. Get up. And try to open my eyes a little bit more.

Office make-over part II
So we started this week-end, cleaning the “office” making new space for the billboard and the new “big” desk. After a last layer of varnish the table should be ready today. I will start to re-open old boxes hiding in the basement with all my creative things like pens and papers and bring all that in their new area… for their second life!

Atom feed and Archiving
Feed and archiving are working now. Thanks to Brent who pointed me the problem ;) I was not aware of it. Now everything is working.

If…
… it doesn’t take too much time to create, maybe it’s because it’s already been done. Originality takes time. Creation is an unpredictable time process.

Le temps
Est-ce que l’être humain est fait pour des horaires fixes? Nos besoins d’odre physique ne se pointent-ils pas le bout du nez à peu près n’importe quand? Alors, il faut imaginer notre psychologique qui est encore plus capricieux et imprévisible. Est-ce possible de l’encadrer? Et pourtant l’être humain (surtout le moderne) essaie toujours de s’organiser, jusqu’à la seconde près. N’est-ce pas aller à l’encontre de notre nature. D’un autre côté, j’ai peine à m’imaginer un monde complètement aléatoire. La jungle quoi. Mais la question se pose quand même. Peut-être qu’il y a du monde qui vive avec l’horloge et d’autres non. Ceux qui peuvent, ceux qui y croit, ceux qui ne pourrait pas vivre autrement. C’est une question que certains ne se posent pas aussi. Et pourquoi moi aujourd’hui je me pose cette question.

Dans le même ordre d’idées (ou pas).
Suite à l’émission de Simon Durivage sur les blogs et les commentaires de MC Turgeon, je me suis tout à fait idendifier à ma génération. Celle qui ne regarde plus la télé parce qu’elle serait contraint justement à un horaire fixe. Je ne vis plus comme ça. D’où a pertinence de Radio-Canada de mettre ses émissions en ligne. C’est grâce à ça que j’ai vu l’émission aujourd’hui, à l’heure qui m’allait le mieux. Sérieusement, un peu comme le podcasting, j’écoute l’émission à l’heure qui me plaît, sans être prise dans le carcan des horaires de télés.
Et, en me levant le matin, c’est mon ordi et internet que je retrouve et non pas le bruit de la télé en background des sons de mes céréales. Je vais chercher l’infos que je veux à l’heure que je veux. Je ne me fais pas dicter un contenu x. Je ne dis pas que c’est mieux, je sais juste que je vis comme ça.

When I was young
I remember it was so easy to create anything when I was younger. I didn’t have to ask myself if I was doing the right thing or not. I didn’t question myself about the process. I didn’t even know what procrastinate means. I was creating because it was so natural for me. I would like to remember that state of mind sometimes. I feel like I am too much aware of everything around me now that it stops me in my creative process. I know I have so many things on my mind as an adult.. but is it possible to do both. Feeling the freedom of my childhood (even as a teenager it was simple) but be able to live the things I need to at 26?

Organizing the process
Ouf! I didn’t really start the creative part yet. Beside some pictures I took this week-end. I’m still reorganizing my workshop. I hope to be done this week.
At least, I started doing things… anything. I bought a small notebook, I write things I want to do (it makes it more real) and I draw. I just have to move and take actions.
**
Writing down the things I want to do makes me realize that they are possible and real. My fears are still present but even if it’s scary I do it anyway. It feels so great to do it my way. Find what I want and do it. The more spontaneous, the more real and alive I feel. I hope to get even better doing this. What I know now for sure it’s that we can change our habits and the one society gave us. Can you feel the liberty?
