Some guy in class said this today, and it’s true. Art, any art (dance, photography, music) may have technical aspects, but all those specifics aren’t what’s most important. It’s about the art of it, changing things up, being creative, and having passion.
I tend to fade into the background, but sometimes the greatest things come when you aren't even looking. Dancing saved my soul, I have a serious case of wanderlust, and my life is a quiet mess. I love it anyway.
Just me.

One Red Paperclip
For my internet marketing class we are reading about this guy who used Craiglists to trade stuff until he got a house. He started with a freaking red paper clip! (I’ve heard the story before, but this is step by step what he got). SO AWESOME.
-Trade clip for fish shaped pen,
-pen for a doorknob shaped like E.T.,
-doorknob for Coleman stove (the guy needed a doorknob for his stove top expresso maker)
-stove for red generator (marine sergeant needed stove for his drive across country)
-generator for “instant party” (keg, Budweiser sign)
-party for snowmobile (from a radio talk show in Quebec)
-snowmobile for roundtrip airfare for two to British Columbia, a day of skiing and meals
-trip for a van
-van for a recording contract with 30 hours of recording time, transportation/hotels, and a record pitch with radio stations.
-recording contract for a year’s free rent in a furnished apartment in Arizona plus roundtrip airfare
-rent for a afternoon with Alice Cooper
-afternoon for motorized Kiss snow globe
-snow globe for roundtrip airfare anywhere in the world, hotel, and speaking role in movie (traded to a snow-globe collecting actor)
-movie role for the world’s largest paperclip, a key to the town, and a freaking HOUSE.
That dude is a genius.
