More interesting to myself when I'm drunk. I have amazing moments of perfect clarity when I can appreciate things so fully and recognize things I've never seen before and resolve so many troubling issues. Then I become sober & realize what ungodly bullshit it all was.
Far more interesting to everyone else when I'm sober.
I totally know that feeling when I think I've solved ALL the problems of the world in one night with a big bottle of Vodka and yes - most of it IS bullshit when you come back to Earth but an interesting thing to do is write down (or record or whatever) some of your thoughts when you're off your rocker. It does pay
I work in a business where I'm expected to be "creative" and make something out of literally nothing everyday just from the ideas and thoughts in my head. I'm pretty good on an everyday basis coming up with "stuff" but some of my best ideas and campaigns have come from being totally fucked up on some substance...(I have an addictive personality and I admit it) Thats where i really TAP into the weird and unusual that most straights can't come up with and that's whats made me wildly successful and rich
...or at least moderately successful and happy
I guess my point is..take advantage of whatever your particular vice is because it can help you in your everyday work life! BUT don't stop there....take advantage of EVERYTHING you do to get ahead. Thoughts pop into my head on any variety of subjects ALL THE TIME. When I'm in the shower, on the crapper, eating lunch - whenever! The key is to write them down or figure out a way to remember them because, to me, inspiration is like lighting a fart. SURE it burns bright but only for a second then all you remember is the smell....
peace my creative GH buddies,C:C
