Today is the day. Now is the time to take that inner creative streak and create something that wasn't there before.
A blog post.
An essay.
A painting, like our fratre Doug Malone does.
A misanthrope haiku, like our fratre Doug Malone did and does.
Or a song, like a few of us attempt. You should try it. And if you do, here's a starter kit for you...
Jeff Tweedy, singer in one of my favorite bands, Wilco, has written another book. Several years ago he penned a book called Let's Go (So We Can Get Back): A Memoir of Recording and Discording with Wilco, Etc. Rootsy bought it and lent it to me a couple of Fishing Trips ago. I have read 80% or so, I just remembered. (Rootsy, I'll finish it up and return it -- thank you, sir, and sorry for the delay!)
It's called How to Write One Song: Loving the Things We Create and How They Love Us Back. According to reviewers, it's a demystification of songwriting and an encouraging push for creativity. I'm all for that, and it's on my to-get list.
If we all had more time and inclination, we could start a songwriting contest here at Gheorghe: The Blog. And that Dave or I would have to record every submission in some format. Gheorghe: The Album would come from it. Perhaps Rob's ode from Cape Cod could be the lead single.
Anyway, short of that, check out someone else's creativity.
Who doesn't love Lego? Other than people who step on a brick with bare feet.
20 Album Covers Recreated in LEGO
From The Toy Zone, someone has . . . done what the title says. Here are a few:
Now get out there and make something. With Legos or otherwise.

I made something. A purchase. I used my $100 in NFL wagering winnings to buy a Ring doorbell. A crew of thieves went through our neighborhood last night, opening car doors. They rifled through my car and found nothing. They did steal a car two blocks away.
Crime. Yeah.
That is also on my to-get list! Glad they didn't find anything.
The basic Ring doorbell is $99. It’s $3/month for the service, or $30/year. Seems like a no-brainer.
TR - that's an awfully responsible way to spend gambling winnings. You've changed.
This made me tear up a little bit.

The Velvet Underground cover is my favorite.
It's officially Tua Time in Miami
VU cover is good. That link is a wee bit heavy on Beatles covers.
The Fortnight of Fuckery is upon us. May we all make it through this unscathed.
I’ll be going full ostrich for the next 14. Maybe the next 41, since we won’t know what the result is for days or weeks after.
Karl Rove was just on Hannity bemoaning Joe Biden's lack of propriety for allowing his son to trade on his name and earn millions from Burisma. Of course, Rove's former employer George Bush never received any advantages for sharing a name with his father, President George Bush. It's not like it opened any doors for him whatsoever. He became president entirely on his own.
And it’s clear that the current holder of the office would never engage in any nepotism or self dealing.
