It was in relation to a quote about artists always trying to be timeless but what they should only be is "of their time".
George Strombo (too lazy to type whole name) and Aisha Tyler were talking about how they 'fell into' their careers, and how Aisha has been interested in Engineering and then took an intro to engineering class and realized that was not her intended path.
Got me thinking, I've been all over the map, and while I have also been interested in engineering, at this point it would be incredibly time and energy intensive for me to get back into math and hard science, whereas something like music, or even writing, come so naturally to me. I'm also interested in acting and comedy, but my comedy is almost entirely observational.
Then I had an epiphany.
Of course, I am an observational person. That is my core, my default. I'm curious, I ask questions, I seek to understand, to define. Musically I explore and when I actually write lyrics, they tend to be observations either of myself, or of what I experience around me. When I write blogs or various comments I make on facebook, or even conversational emails with people, I'm sharing observations.
Observation is basically what drives and fuels me. It is what I always do and can't not do. My recent documentary binge has been highly observational.
I remember being in a fishbowl. I'm glad I'm out, and have a more global perspective now.
That's all for now. More later.
