1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,320
yes to creativity, totally untuted because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:07,559 --> 00:00:10,800
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,759
Oh man, it's one of those mornings. There's just so

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,800
much that I want to write about. I often compare

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,719
it to the way I dream. Give me five minutes

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,879
of sleep, and my mind will travel halfway around the world.

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,000
I don't remember always being this way. Is it an

9
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:29,120
age thing? Of course, you know. I had to do

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,920
some research and it shows no, dude, no dude, no dude.

11
00:00:32,759 --> 00:00:35,920
Aging people do wake up a lot more, which allows

12
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,880
us to remember what we were dreaming. But really we're

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,799
not dreaming more as we age. It does seem like

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,759
I'm dreaming more. But the thing is is that as

15
00:00:46,759 --> 00:00:51,759
an aging person, we have less ram rapid eye movement. Now,

16
00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:55,719
believe it or not, the people who dream the most

17
00:00:56,079 --> 00:00:58,079
those that are born in the first two weeks of

18
00:00:58,119 --> 00:01:02,960
life because their mind is being created. I just don't

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,879
remember being this active with my dreams. I can feel

20
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,200
like I've been out for like three hours. I look

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,079
at the clock, It's only been five minutes. The same

22
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:14,560
is true about my daily writing. I have five different

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,000
journals going on at the same exact time, and none

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,319
of them have anything to do with each other. And

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,519
I know I am not alone in this. Your mind

26
00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:27,680
is just as active. But are you listening to what

27
00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:32,159
your mind is planting. I happen to trust my open

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,480
ways of thinking until I wake up and take note

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,519
of what I posted last night on social media. Do

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,480
you do that You're so consumed by what is going

31
00:01:43,519 --> 00:01:45,760
on in your presence of right now? This is late

32
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:49,000
at night that you go to social media, you post something,

33
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:51,439
and then when you wake up the next morning, you're going,

34
00:01:51,519 --> 00:01:56,599
oh my god, that was a little bit too revealing,

35
00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:00,200
so I take it off. I always tell you people,

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,959
the best time to be on my Facebook page is

37
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,200
at night, because I do cross the line. I do

38
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,120
go into areas that offer change and challenge. Not offensively,

39
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,240
I don't do that. It's just I have an open

40
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,800
thought that I like to share, and then people react

41
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:16,960
to it. Hey, it's aerow. This is the daily Mess,

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,840
a chronological walk through an everyday world. I am a

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,800
daily writer. I like planting thoughts because the reactions that

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,919
I get from you are that of oh my god.

45
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,840
I never even thought about that, or Hey, I was

46
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:32,879
just thinking about that the other day. How can we

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,319
be on the same page. It's like a joke. How

48
00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:36,759
does it get from the west coast to the east

49
00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:39,960
coast and we're all laughing in the middle. This is

50
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:44,360
the daily mess, getting lost in a thought, putting too

51
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:49,879
much interest into something that's very, very tiny. I struggle

52
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,439
with people getting to see my side of the story

53
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:56,680
because it's been a lifelong challenge. My public self is

54
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,560
extremely careful as to what I speak of, especially when

55
00:03:01,599 --> 00:03:04,960
a comment I think is very funny falls very flat

56
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,759
in the circle of communicators, reserved thinking. Oh there's a

57
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,479
lot of that going on. Yeah, yeah, Those reserve thoughts

58
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:18,639
are tightly stored away for these pages right here, and sometimes,

59
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,400
just like anybody else, I don't know what I'm trying

60
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,840
to convey. When you have to explain a thought to

61
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,159
yourself or you come back to it and none of

62
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:31,199
it makes sense, it's how I do what I do.

63
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:38,080
Accepting your self weirdness. That is the subject today, Accepting

64
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:42,400
your self weirdness. Look that up on social media. You're

65
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,199
going to find out that being weird we're not alone.

66
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,960
There are several books of motivation focused one hundred percent

67
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,319
on accepting your weirdness. I'm a daily writer. I agreed

68
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,719
to disagree and fully accept my thoughts no matter how

69
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,360
long I get, and I'm the one that put it

70
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,360
on the page. It doesn't matter. I accept being weird.

71
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,159
I did an album back in two thousand and two

72
00:04:09,759 --> 00:04:12,960
filled with some of the craziest music, and the name

73
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,680
of the album was they think I'm weird, So I

74
00:04:14,719 --> 00:04:17,600
proved it. So this isn't anything new to my journey.

75
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,240
Being weird is what I am, and each day that

76
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,560
goes by, it's not that I step out there to

77
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,319
say I'm weird. I just go, hey, I'm going to

78
00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:33,040
think about some things that are kind of odd. But

79
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:35,439
you don't have to accept me, nor do I have

80
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:38,399
to accept me. But you know, I agreed to disagree

81
00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:43,120
and I fully accept that I'm just weird, and it

82
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,959
puts you in a place of you know what. I

83
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,560
can grow with this, because from weird comes a new idea.

84
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,839
People can be challenged and changed in ways that inspire

85
00:04:55,959 --> 00:05:00,399
them to be more open. See inside my mind. Every

86
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:03,279
time that I come into the studio, I'm here because

87
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,480
I was that kid who was in his bedroom as

88
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,120
a child that wouldn't come out to share his ideas

89
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:13,399
because I knew it was safe to put yourself in

90
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,480
a public place where you unlock your imagination. It takes

91
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,920
all that you think is weird and it gives it sunshine.

92
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,720
Fruit is then grown to which you can share. And

93
00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:30,879
although that fruit may look weird and taste weird, you're

94
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:33,480
probably still gonna find it at a grocery store, because

95
00:05:33,519 --> 00:05:35,720
I don't know if you've been to an international store before,

96
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,480
but my god, I have the greatest time looking at

97
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:43,959
the craziest, most odd ball fruit on the planet, and

98
00:05:44,079 --> 00:05:46,000
every piece of fruit that I pick up, I go,

99
00:05:46,399 --> 00:05:51,600
this is my weird. I'm Marrow. And that's the daily mess.
