A creative outlet is something you should tap into every so often to relax, etc. This can't be something you do often, or it will become not-creative. For instance.. coding could be seen as creative, but if you do it all day, every day.. it doesnt FEEL creative. So it's not.
Thats what I do all the time. Code. When I am not coding, I am sleeping or doing school work. None of this is creative. Periodically I have the feeling I am doing something creative.. for instance, when I start a new project. Also, sometimes I get to play with graphics and stuff.. so it all makes me feel better about everything.
Video editing has become sort of a creative outlet......... but, I have to do it more than once every two weeks. Right now I am in a slump because I really have had no time to do anything.
Things that are exciting are good. The only problem is that the excitement fades and you really need to step back and look at yourself to see what the fuck you are doing. I mean.. god damn.
Chicken is good too. There is something about chicken, waffles, and orange juice. There is something really nice about them because they never treat me wrong. There is something in that too.. but it lacks excitement.
Then there is something like ice cream. It is an exciting food. It tastes so good to start, but it bites you in the ass.. almost literally. The worst problem is that the explosive diahrrea and cramping does not push me away for going for more a few days later. It feels like a fatal attraction (especially when seated on porcelain).
