[COLOR="Gray"][CENTER][B][SIZE=1]I can honestly say that school has sucked the life out of me this semester. After a week of actual intense work I found myself unable to decide what I wanted to do. After a wicked science test on Friday-which by the way was only made worse because of sudden power outages on Thursday-I had no idea what to do with myself.
None.
Whatsoever.
So on Wednesday I had finished The Chronicles of Narnia. I stayed up until 11:30, finished the end of the last book and rolled over. On Friday after school I picked up a new book. I finished that one, 388 pages later, the next morning while I babysat. I was too bothered to stay up past two to finish it. Anyways, today now that it's Sunday I'm still bored out of my mind. Nothing comes to me. I can't write. I cannot even think of drawing. I'm just blah. I forgot to mention the fact that when it was decided that we were to run errands I was not excited to be dragged through stores listening to associates blabber on about things that we don't need.
Anyways, I got home. I have an okay experience. My mom made me laugh, I bought some candy, scratch that, A LOT of candy and settled in at home to read a magazine while they went out to finish some other things.
Then I was smacked in the face with inspiration.
My parents settled in and we watched Top Gun. A movie that is one of Tom Cruises' earliest. It is 20 years old and suddenly I find myself sitting here wondering what kind of story or plot or drawing I could whip up.
The thing is, and what I know I am trying to say here is that inspiration can come from anywhere. You cannot walk around thinking about how you have no initiative or state of mind to do anything. Sit down and do something and don't mope while you do it. Instead enjoy it, let it take you away. After that I am sure that you will be inspired, just like how Tom Cruise saved my inspiration and creativity for the time being.
