Last night on my ride back home from starbucks, I listened to "Of Course" by Jane's Addiction.  Actually I am listening to it again as I write this at starbucks.  It is such a delightfully childish experience.  To feel like a child again on a creative level is important to me when writing music.  Finding things out of the ordinary and smiling about it is something I try to accomplish on the daily.  I find that all of my brilliant, or what I consider brilliant, ideas come to me from having a childish mindset in a world I obviously know what exists, but to find something even better, we have to detach our mind from what we already know and come up with something entirely different.  For me that is my child in me that is still wandering through me trying to tell me dreams I have long forgot...
