I'm Back.. Hooray!!

I decided to start up this blog again. I've been thinking about it for a couple of months now and it seems like the perfect time because:
1. I turned 29 last month. (I don't know about you, but birthdays usually make me reevaluate things.)
2. I've been inspired by Rainn Wilson.

"Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity, It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.
~Ray Bradbury~

I found that there is so much truth in that quote. Thinking too much always makes me crazy and ultimately gets me stuck. Honestly, if I'm telling the truth, I haven't made any good decisions by over thinking(but I suppose to most people this is obvious.) All the best decisions I have made have been ones that have followed my heart (as cheesy as that sounds.That sounds so ridiculously cliche doesn't it?).
Even the things that didn't make logical sense.Of course, I do believe sometimes thinking things through is a good thing, but maybe if everyone listened to that inner voice inside their hearts more often more often there would be less hate and love and peace in the world. Just a thought. Maybe not.

Now how has Rainn Wilson inspired me?

Well it's kind of funny because my friend told me he was going to be doing a book signing in the city. I had no idea he was coming out with a book, but I'm a huge "Office" fan. Long story short the book (Soul Pancake) is about life's big questions and exploring different facets of the human experience including creativity. I was thinking about that on the train ride home and that brought me back to writing. Even though I've been thinking about it for a few weeks I haven't done anything about it.

Also, I got to meet Rainn Wilson (Dwight!) which was a really awesome experience.

Check out the book Soul Pancake and the site if you want;the link is below.I haven't had time to read it all yet,but based on the talk Rainn gave and flipping through it so far it's deep, spiritual, thought-provoking, creative and humorous all at once!(Incidentally, the quote from above I found while flipping though the book.)
