That's to be expected.
Remember yesterday, when I was complaining about how my brain is fried and how I had turned in some pages of my dissertation that I knew to blow? Well, they did.
I got it back from one of my advisors and he basically wanted to know who wrote it. He said it was nothing like my other writing. He said it was "bullshit" (his word, though I agree) and that I was being far too timid with this proposal.
Luckily, this is exactly why I turned in these pages to get a look. See, I needed some prodding and some poking to get my mind thinking again. Jim gave me some advice as to how to frame it a little better, and it's good advice. It's going to help.
Exactly what I needed... if I can get over the embarrassment of turning in some "bullshit."

I'm sorry baby. Looks like things are looking up though! I know you'll do amazing work once you get into the flow of things.

I am reminded of this entry about a time during which I did decidedly more drugs. One of the things that made me stop was when I realized that without my mind, I am a somewhat worthless individual. I put so much stock into what my mind can do that it often defines me. When that mind doesn't work, I am admittedly lost. That notion helped me stop doing drugs. Maybe it will help me stop overcommitting.

i once heard that the mind's creative ability peaks around 21. this always bothers me when i am hard up for ideas or find myself searching threw old ideas, because i can't come up with anything new. i think, this is it at 28 am i now degenerating into a feeble old man, my art career is finished.
