Applying Style to Journaling
Main Concepts:
- Identifying key subjects of log entries.
- The use of bracketing and legends
Personal Experiences :
A typical log entry would look something like this:
" In this dream I just had, I was "searching" for lasagna with synthesizer triangle waves on eBay. In the background, I hear the music from the Mystic Ruins in Sonic Adventure. My dream was cut short when Matt informed me that the ad for the SNES on Craigslist may have been a hit. Hopefully, the SNES bit will work out swimmingly.
I need to wash my hands and feed Bunky. She is chirping while pussyfooting around me. I do think that the SNES ad was too legit to quit. I cant' wait to get this SNES. I think we need to get it before anyone else does.
So, I have a few ideas and new skill accomplishments that I want to jot down. Namely, enhancing Bunky's dining experience. Also, coming up with a small hardware controller for DDR. And finally, what I have learned with the Launchpad.
Let's start with food: First off, I want to recognize the levol of cleanliness that the house has achieved. All the rooms are highly organized and now, vety efficient for spending time in. Which is very awesome....An iem that may need attention is the refrigerator. There is alot oof food in there to begin with, but it is rather "thrown all over" at current. It could use a through cleaning and a touch of organization.
Also, the other main point I wanted to make regarding food is coercing Bunky into eating her normal cat food. I will cursh up some "Temptations Dairy Treats" and mix the powder with her regular food. Secondly, I want to talk about hardware designs. I have some rather ambitious plans for building things in the near future. The idea blossomed from a round of DDR that I was playuing on the controller. I think it would be fantastic to build something for finger dancing. i.e. using your fingers as your legs on a 4 small pads representing up, down, left, and right.
This kind of task would be done mainly buy using the parts f a Playstation 1 controller. I have already taken one of my controllers apart in preparation for this project. I also need a SOLDERING IRON, RUBBER PADS, and a PLASTIC box to enclose everything. This kind of thinking *desire to build digital hardware* has also inspired me to consider building a MIDI controller. In order to create something of that magnitude would definitely require an Arduino (USB interface for circuit boards). I don't have that......... "
That log was from 2/4/2013.
There isn't a terrible amount of very important thoughts in there, however, the goal of this kind of writing is to just let the words flow from your head out onto the page.
This kind of practice will make it easier to not be a mental judge of myself while I am performing or creating music, but instead just letting the current of my mind lead me in the direction I need to go...it's like connecting left and right brain. Taking control of both of them simultaneously. My left brain wants me to be creative and my right brain wants to overthink everything that I'm doing to the point where I'm no longer even doing it. . . As a matter of fact, I can feel that happening just now, as I'm writing this entry.
So this is the excerpt from tonight's log:
2/18/2013 "pm" early morning
" Okay, so you are handling things well at this point. The whole "getting bent out of shape" speed is really slowing down as of late.
So here's how I'm writing...there is a current that keeps moving no matter what the message in my head tells me... Focusing/Harnassing the power of that current allows for smooth decision making as well as resolution making. I start to lose the direction my mind is taking me. After a short period of time....But, all the same, it's just a rift. I'm happy that I have once again come back to you, light holy one (journal). I feel the power of these pages unleashing on me. The sould becomes awritten on the bindings of these pages.
[Bunky stares @ me w/ curiosity's intent.
Maybe that should be curious
but then I'd end up dead. ]
[I love my experience w/ music making lately. It is so important not to let my expectations versus reality interfere with my overall plans. ]
[ Lots of gifts await the princess.
A mother's rogue beside her sits.
She think of all these fantasies.
Their endless tales became her riches. ]
[ Poetry is so important, but again,
it's the current that brings it all together,
there are no stops on its train ]
[ I want to say this, yet again.
Ugly Betty is an inspriring show.
This is my 2nd time runing through the series.
And despite my prior knowlege of the show, it becomes,
even yet, a teacher of many lessons. ]
[The Deals! The Deals!
love the deals!
Smell them from a mile away
then swoop right in and make my day. ]
|
-> I think not of the dire
consequences.
I think I'm just falling in love.
Cause everyting up here is
making me bleed.
I just don't know what
else I am. |

[Warm kitty on the warm keyboard/laptop.
Turns of airplane mode
and finger scrolling on the mousepad.
If I had my way,
that cat would be on 5 foot rollerskates. ] "
Concept: [Brackets and poetry/lyrics]
I like these little stanzas! It makes it fun to put together little poems or lyrics.
As I write these items down, I can hear the flow of the words in my head.
Separating them w/ the brackets just makes it easier to identify the important parts of the log.
