1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Sleepless nights, middle of the day, you're freaking out. You 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,320 feel like there's something that needs to come out, but 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,759 you can't get into it. You can't bring it forward. 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,480 You feel like you're blocked. I get it. Hey, that's 5 00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:14,240 the way creativity works. We're addicted to it. We gotta 6 00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:16,320 have it, but it's not coming out the way that 7 00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:19,039 we want it. People have to judge it all the time. 8 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,879 Ah unplugged because we will always say yes to creativity. 9 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,640 Totally uncut because we all make mistakes. So turn it 10 00:00:25,679 --> 00:00:28,920 into a tool. This is Arrow unplugged. I've always looked 11 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,479 at quotes as being seed planters. It makes you go, whoa, 12 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,359 I love that observation, or ooh man, that one didn't 13 00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:40,039 hit me right, go back to the drawing boards, start 14 00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:42,840 all over on that one. But quotes are something that 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,960 kind of just flow through me because I believe in 16 00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:49,479 stream thinking. Stream thinking is being in the presence of 17 00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:52,200 right now and whatever is moving through you, put it 18 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,640 on a page, build it up, create at levels that 19 00:00:55,719 --> 00:00:59,719 really nobody else has to see. Create some quotes because 20 00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:02,200 I know you're full of them. Because your journey is 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,319 your journey. I've not lived in your shoes, but I'll 22 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,680 bet you're full of quotes. Hey's aero. This is the 23 00:01:08,719 --> 00:01:11,079 daily mess, a chronological walk through in everyday world. I 24 00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:13,760 am a daily writer, and maybe that's one of the 25 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,120 reasons why writing just comes so easily, because I've had 26 00:01:17,159 --> 00:01:21,280 twenty nine years of practice and I am no professional. 27 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,400 All I am is somebody who listens to the daily discipline. 28 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,120 I was talking with actor Bruce Campbell. He's going back 29 00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:30,760 into his writing, all of his ideas, and he's turning 30 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,879 that stuff into books. See how important it is. Just 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,760 put a pin on the page. This is the daily mess. 32 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,719 We're gonna talk about quotes today. There's a couple of 33 00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:41,400 them here, one that fell from my writing instrument and 34 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,000 one that Owen Wilson recently said on CBS Sunday Morning. 35 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,159 The first quote came to me on March twenty fifth, 36 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,319 twenty twenty three. The quote is along the way you 37 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,200 realized it was a long way. Along the way you 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,879 realized it was a long way. A thought handed to 39 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,280 me while reflecting in the effects of the day that 40 00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:09,560 was just lived. It was tied to a different thought. 41 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,439 We constantly complain about life moving too fast, yet while 42 00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:17,719 we're living life in this moment of now, it's not 43 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,199 moving fast enough. Let me say that one again. We 44 00:02:22,319 --> 00:02:26,919 constantly complain about life moving too fast, yet while we're 45 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,120 living in this moment of now, it's not moving fast enough. 46 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,800 This is why we should never settle on a single 47 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,960 moment of receiving. There's always more to the story, the continuation, 48 00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:45,479 the process that becomes the experience learning to be open 49 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,400 with ourselves in the way of being aware of good 50 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,879 and bad things. Those moments you regret, collaborating with newer 51 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,479 ways to reach out rather than tearing things apart along 52 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,599 the way you realized it was a long way. How 53 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,759 close are we to truly holding on to the right answer? 54 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,759 Are we asking the right question? Not on that for 55 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,960 a little bit, Jewed h Yeah, get the flavor out 56 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,599 of those those quotes. Did you learn anything? I don't know. 57 00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:22,360 It's part of the continuation. Like I said, and I 58 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,599 bump into Owen Wilson and listen to his quote, I 59 00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:29,520 don't think I was good. I just think there were 60 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,599 parts I could play. Oh my god, I sat up 61 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,080 straight when I heard him say that. I don't think 62 00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:39,919 I was good. I just think there were parts I 63 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:44,520 could play. His honesty serves as an open path for 64 00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:48,840 all who are creative. It's not a choice to be creative. 65 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,360 You were born that way, and it drives you frickin insane. 66 00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:56,879 Creative people are given this huge source of energy, then 67 00:03:56,919 --> 00:03:59,159 we spend the rest of our lives wanting to know 68 00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:01,000 what the hell we're gonna do with it. Say it. 69 00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:04,120 I don't think I was good. I just think there 70 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,319 were parts I could play. Too often, each and every 71 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,039 one of us beat ourselves up over the thought of 72 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,520 not living up to what we dreamed. I've put forty 73 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,800 three years into the communications business and never never made 74 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,160 it to LA Radio like I dreamed as a child. 75 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,800 My entire life was shaped by my decision to come 76 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,079 to the Carolinas in nineteen eighty five so I would 77 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,199 grow as a performer here and enter LA as somebody 78 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:39,279 and not just anybody at sixty. Owen Wilson's quote eases 79 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,199 the pain. I don't think I was good. I just 80 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,120 think there were parts I could play. That doesn't say 81 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,160 it's over. It just says, hey, I'm an artist. I 82 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,279 do freaky, weird things. I think outside the box. I'm 83 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,439 gonna take chances. I'm probably gonna upset you somewhere along 84 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,800 the way. Just don't hate me, Just can you just 85 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,319 put up with me. It's just a part, a part 86 00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:10,920 that I'm playing because I'm just creative. Okay, I've given 87 00:05:10,959 --> 00:05:14,519 you my excuse. We're okay, right, I'm Eryl and that's 88 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,279 a daily mess.
