I haven’t been drawing lately. Nor making posts in this blog and any other “postable” sites I’m a part of. Well, part of that is because my work is draining the shit out of me.
I think that my job is eating away the energy needed for my creative juices to flow. I haven’t drawn a thing in 3 weeks, I haven’t posted anything longer than 2 sentences in a week or two (except for “pre-formatted” reports), and I can’t think of anything that I can consider to be “creatively productive”.
Maybe I’m just lazy. It could be the lack of physical activity that is dragging my brain to a halt! I once read in some site (or was it a book, maybe about ninjas) that physical activity is proportionally equal to your brain activity. So no matter how hard you try to be smart, if you don’t burn some fat, you won’t get anywhere!
Shocking isn’t it? Well, maybe it’s true. Maybe my semi-sedentary lifestyle of working, eating, sitting down, lying down, reading comics, playing vidyagames, browsing 4chan, working again, eating some more, and sleeping, is what prevents me, and my brain, from being active!
In short, it’s time to lose weight. I will not be the thing that I have feared myself to be! I will not be a fat nerd who sits all day reading/drawing comics and playing videogames! NO! I REFUSE TO BE ONE! FOR I WILL BE A FIT, STRONG, AND HEALTHY NERD WHO SITS AT SPECIFIC TIMES OF THE DAY, CAREFULLY DIVIDING HIS ATTENTION AND TIME TO READING, DRAWING, PLAYING GAMES (lots of backlog, man) AND TALKING TO LIKE-MINDED INDIVIDUALS ON THE INTERNET, AND MAYBE DO MORE!
I’m going to start doing that exercising thing, I heard it’s a rage among people who have difficulty walking for a prolonged period of time.
P.S. My brain age is 27. Compliments of Dr. Kawashima, Nintendo, and Brain Age 2.
I’ve always found that I get my best ideas when I’m walking. Maybe not when I’m exhaustedly walking or whatever, but like, when I’m just casually walking to wherever I need to be.
“will not be the thing that I have feared myself to be! I will not be a fat nerd who sits all day reading/drawing comics and playing videogames!”
Well said, well said!
Bilis, takbo!
i can pretty much relate to this post. i, on the other hand, feel that my work dehumanizes. i stay rational most of the time to the point that i experience a human disconnect from my friends. and oh yeah, the creative juices seem to drain out as well. i wonder what my brain age is… send link please? (”,)
Work drains my energy to do anything creative. But I’m working on getting some things done even while at work. Oh yeah. Also, I got my brain age from Brain Age 2. A little “game” for the Nintendo DS (best handheld ever).
@mars, bili ka na sabi nang DS eh. :p
