00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,160
yes to creativity totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,279
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged. Ah,

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,119
this is a sad one. I was reading an article

5
00:00:14,439 --> 00:00:16,920
about Paul Stanley of Kiss. He recently had a horrible

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,320
experience with the flu. He actually said in this article

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,079
he thought it was his time. See, they don't teach

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,239
us this kind of stuff. While in high school. I

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:26,879
had a heart attack at the age of forty seven

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,440
in two thousand and nine. I was in the emergency

11
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:32,520
room expecting God to say, dude, it's time to come home.

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,079
Thanks to my martial arts training, I entered a spiritual

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,719
world that I didn't know existed, but at my age

14
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:43,200
what I really needed. Now, we question a lot of

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,200
things in this everyday world we face every moment, especially

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,719
when it comes to the cough. Now, I've got a

17
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:52,240
little bit of PTSD with that, because when my sister

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,640
started coughing, she didn't stop, nor did she want to

19
00:00:55,679 --> 00:00:58,840
go to a place that would help her. She started

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,679
getting really angry with me because I cared and she

21
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:03,799
didn't want to hear how much I cared and what

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,560
she needed to do in order to get better, but

23
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:12,200
she didn't. Her heart eventually stopped. She disconnected from me

24
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:15,359
because I was being very protective and I always thought

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,480
that's what big brothers do. So to hear about Paul

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,959
Stanley and how he questioned that moment, was this my time?

27
00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:27,599
We're at an age where we begin to realize that

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,359
every day should be preserved and reserved as well as respected,

29
00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:39,799
because this twenty four hour period could be your final gift. Hey, Sarah,

30
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,680
this is the daily mass, chronological walk through in everyday world.

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,439
I am a daily writer. I am the silent wolf.

32
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,480
I sit beneath the shrubs, the trees, and I look

33
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:53,680
at life. I study life. I research life. I go

34
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,920
into these projects not only to create conversation, but to

35
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,159
be connected to newer ways, to have a moment, a

36
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,519
moment of peace, a moment of togetherness, just a moment.

37
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,639
This is the daily mess. Are we living in the

38
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,919
past when we're binge watching these old TV shows on

39
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,400
the digital platforms? Of course, I did some research and

40
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:21,520
it says we don't do this just with TVs. We

41
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,199
do it with books and we also do it with music.

42
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:28,719
The reason why we return to these forms of entertainment

43
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,199
is not nostalgic. It's actually based on the measurement of

44
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,319
personal growth. So we've been watching Scrubs on Peacock here

45
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:40,800
in twenty twenty three. The show premiered in two thousand

46
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,159
and one. Who I Am in twenty twenty three. He

47
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:46,159
doesn't care about the guy in two thousand and one.

48
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,439
He just knows he goes to this show to be entertained.

49
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:54,240
And so there's never really a time when I say, Wow,

50
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,400
what would it be like if I was back in

51
00:02:57,439 --> 00:03:01,159
two thousand and one? People do, but you also have

52
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,840
to understand that just because you find a show like

53
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,800
Scrubs or Friends, you don't have to catapult yourself back

54
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,439
to living in the past. Study show. It's how our

55
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,080
presence in the place of now looks and how it feels,

56
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,159
and how we want to take care of where we

57
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:21,360
are right now by watching things that bring us joy.

58
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,400
We aren't yearning for the old days, but we're rather

59
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,439
enjoying today. Everything that is happening right now can be

60
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:32,680
a part of it. So we tend to watch the

61
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,199
old shows and listen to the old songs because it

62
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:39,840
brings us joy. It doesn't have to bring up a

63
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:42,879
memory of a friend, a girlfriend, a boyfriend, maybe your

64
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:45,639
friendship at high school doesn't have to do that. It's

65
00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:49,680
just something you enjoy in your present place of now.

66
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:53,879
So don't jump back into your past. You can listen

67
00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:56,520
to the songs that your parents did and not have

68
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,159
to think about your parents, think about you, be in

69
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:08,039
your present place of you, think of growing forward. I

70
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,280
love articles like this and the reason why that moment

71
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:14,360
where you go God man, that song from Queen is

72
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,120
forty five years old. Oh my armpits must be crusty.

73
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,879
Oh where's my gray hair? Oh? How many pair of

74
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:23,519
tennis shoes do I have that came from that same decade.

75
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,360
I actually have a pair of platforms that I brought

76
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,680
from the nineteen seventies and I still have them, and

77
00:04:29,759 --> 00:04:32,879
I have seen them several times. But I don't think

78
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,720
of the discos that I went to as a teenager.

79
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,680
Oh yeah, they built teenage discos. I don't think of that.

80
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:41,920
What I see is a piece of artwork, and I

81
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,000
enjoy looking at them. I'm not going to wear them,

82
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,160
not at my age. I'm not going to because I

83
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:48,120
may not get out of them. And Number two I

84
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:52,240
may trip and fall, but it's okay to embrace something

85
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:56,240
that is from your past. Just keep yourself from going

86
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:01,800
back there mentally. Enjoy your moment it of right now,

87
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,079
Embrace it. I'm marrow and that's the daily mess.
