YOU MUST CREATE

A part of being a creative person simply boils down to the sheer mental satisfaction of putting in time and effort for a project, and then having a real and tangible piece of work to show for your efforts, whether it's a tee, garment, jewelry piece, or otherwise.

Instant gratification can't be overrated.

On a psychological level, I'm sure that most people sitting at a desk job get frustrated for the fact that there is really very little to show for their personal contributions and hard work.

What I have found over time is that making shit makes me happy. Creation is powerful, no matter on what level. Take my desk. [As you can tell, I sprang for the super luxe Staples joint, dropping $90 for the whole shebang delivered to BK]. This is what the box and shit looked like.



It looked like, well, shit in a box.

Building this bitch was not as easy as those Staples commercials make it seem, with that deceptive, red "Easy" button of theirs. Anyways, after assembling the various panels, poles, and dowels with Machine, Wood, and Cam Screws, the finished product might have been less than spectacular, but hell, it was a finished product.



Needless to say, this was the best part of the instructions.....
