Inspire Yourself, That's All You Can Do

Lately I have been feeling some sense of blah about everything in my life, hence the infrequent posts on here. I have been taking pictures, but not anything artistic just the same poolside shots of the same people each week. I have been watching way too much television, but not anything actually worth watching honestly. I've pretty much cut out going out socially for the past couple weeks as well, just really bored with the sameness of this town and want to take a break so when I get back out there it feels new again.

Today I ventured to this big flea market to see if I could find anything interesting to buy or if I could find anything interesting to snap photos of. Sadly I came up empty on the creative front, but I did walk out of there with an ashtray that is looks like a peice of wood, a couple of "southern flavored" gifts for my kin folk and a nice funny toy that will be going to a friend here in GA to make him laugh. Perhaps I'm getting accustomed to the oddness of this place because I didn't find walking through a flea market all that strange. The people seemed almost regular and therefore not picture worthy. Dang.

So, how do I fill the void of creativity I am finding myself in? Well, last night I had an epiphany of sorts and ran it by Joolie who was down with the concept. Essentially I want to launch Poison Scooter as not only a tee shirt company, but as a website devoted to Entertainment. I'm talking about meshing Stereogum with Pink Is The New Blog with Reality Blurred with Star Magazine and creating a brand. The idea is to give both Joolie and I an outlet for a writing that is not of a personal nature, perhaps expand our network and recruit other talented people we know with something to say and then use the site as a way to promote our original tee shirt designs devoted to the next great website on the world wide web. Sounds ambitious right?

Keeping in mind that we have only been working at this for 24 hours, the foundation to which we will build upon is located here. I am anxious to hear some feedback about what we are doing, and would love to hear from anyone that reads this trash that might be interested in contributing to the cause. I'm lucky that I have some very smart and funny talents in my circle of friends, and I want to involve as many people as possible to make this something worthy of checking out each morning over that first cup of coffee, right after you check your myspace profile for new comments.
