Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. Ah,
this is a sad one. I was reading an article
about Paul Stanley of Kiss. He recently had a horrible
experience with the flu. He actually said in this article
he thought it was his time. See, they don't teach
us this kind of stuff. While in high school. I
had a heart attack at the age of forty seven
in two thousand and nine. I was in the emergency
room expecting God to say, dude, it's time to come home.
Thanks to my martial arts training, I entered a spiritual
world that I didn't know existed, but at my age
what I really needed. Now, we question a lot of
things in this everyday world we face every moment, especially
when it comes to the cough. Now, I've got a
little bit of PTSD with that, because when my sister
started coughing, she didn't stop, nor did she want to
go to a place that would help her. She started
getting really angry with me because I cared and she
didn't want to hear how much I cared and what
she needed to do in order to get better, but
she didn't. Her heart eventually stopped. She disconnected from me
because I was being very protective and I always thought
that's what big brothers do. So to hear about Paul
Stanley and how he questioned that moment, was this my time?
We're at an age where we begin to realize that
every day should be preserved and reserved as well as respected,
because this twenty four hour period could be your final gift. Hey, Sarah,
this is the daily mass, chronological walk through in everyday world.
I am a daily writer. I am the silent wolf.
I sit beneath the shrubs, the trees, and I look
at life. I study life. I research life. I go
into these projects not only to create conversation, but to
be connected to newer ways, to have a moment, a
moment of peace, a moment of togetherness, just a moment.
This is the daily mess. Are we living in the
past when we're binge watching these old TV shows on
the digital platforms? Of course, I did some research and
it says we don't do this just with TVs. We
do it with books and we also do it with music.
The reason why we return to these forms of entertainment
is not nostalgic. It's actually based on the measurement of
personal growth. So we've been watching Scrubs on Peacock here
in twenty twenty three. The show premiered in two thousand
and one. Who I Am in twenty twenty three. He
doesn't care about the guy in two thousand and one.
He just knows he goes to this show to be entertained.
And so there's never really a time when I say, Wow,
what would it be like if I was back in
two thousand and one? People do, but you also have
to understand that just because you find a show like
Scrubs or Friends, you don't have to catapult yourself back
to living in the past. Study show. It's how our
presence in the place of now looks and how it feels,
and how we want to take care of where we
are right now by watching things that bring us joy.
We aren't yearning for the old days, but we're rather
enjoying today. Everything that is happening right now can be
a part of it. So we tend to watch the
old shows and listen to the old songs because it
brings us joy. It doesn't have to bring up a
memory of a friend, a girlfriend, a boyfriend, maybe your
friendship at high school doesn't have to do that. It's
just something you enjoy in your present place of now.
So don't jump back into your past. You can listen
to the songs that your parents did and not have
to think about your parents, think about you, be in
your present place of you, think of growing forward. I
love articles like this and the reason why that moment
where you go God man, that song from Queen is
forty five years old. Oh my armpits must be crusty.
Oh where's my gray hair? Oh? How many pair of
tennis shoes do I have that came from that same decade.
I actually have a pair of platforms that I brought
from the nineteen seventies and I still have them, and
I have seen them several times. But I don't think
of the discos that I went to as a teenager.
Oh yeah, they built teenage discos. I don't think of that.
What I see is a piece of artwork, and I
enjoy looking at them. I'm not going to wear them,
not at my age. I'm not going to because I
may not get out of them. And Number two I
may trip and fall, but it's okay to embrace something
that is from your past. Just keep yourself from going
back there mentally. Enjoy your moment it of right now,
Embrace it. I'm marrow and that's the daily mess.
