Ever have that feeling where you wanna go to sleep but, at the same time, can’t sleep until you get something finished?

That’s what I’m feeling right now. I must write about one thing. Something nearby. It’s not like I’m delusional or desparate, though. If I were, I’d be looking around my desk and thinking, “well I have a paper weight, let’s start with that.” But again, I’m not THAT desperate.

Not saying there’s anything wrong with that though. There’s always someone out there who likes doing that approach and that’s cool. Other times, someone might have a little something else up their sleeves. The latter of those is what I like to think I’m doing, but alas, I have another approach. As you can tell, I like to rely on the unplanned. Enter that “zone,” if you will, and embrace the unexpected.

Makes me wonder if I embrace it too much, though. Is that even a thing? Is it bad to do a little too much impromptu stuff? I don’t know… depending on what the spontaneous stuff is, I’d say it should be welcomed. Many say that improv is the true spirit of humanity, and I like to think I embody it. That’s not to say I’m good at it, but I do feel that concept in me wherever I go. I am by no means a professional, but just liking the idea and feeling confident in being able to do it adequately makes me feel like I’ve got “magic” in me. Do you believe in magic? I hope you do, you’ll always have a friend wearing big red shoes.

I had to do that. I’m something of a 90s kid, so any reference like that does come to mind at unpredictable moments. And ya know something… it’s fun. Really fun. Before you know it, though, I’ll be reminiscing about Sweet Valley High and going into how I grew up on a variety of saturday-morning cartoons. That is a topic for another time, though, ’cause I could go on about all the cartoons I watched, and not only that… I could even go in-depth. Maybe even take ’em apart and get into that “more than what seems” angle to great/downright-crazy lengths.

That’s probably part of my shtick. I think what I should do is find out what I could do with it, find out where others embrace it the way I do, all that jazz. But until then, this is the best place for it. This IS The Media Zone, where anything happens, and everything is game. Embrace it, there’s plenty more in my head and I’m always thinking, always processing. Hope you’re all enjoying it.

On second thought, my paper weight IS kind of cool looking.
