Day 38 - a happy idiot
I made a video to go with one of my songs, I quite like it:
I've noticed that I tend to make good art when I'm feeling somewhat shitty, which sucks, because it potentially means I might have to choose between being unproductive and living a happy life, or being unhappy and producing a lot of great art. Maybe if I'm really lucky I won't get to make that choice. Thats the kind of thing I'd rather someone else decide.
It's a false choice anyways.
Someone once asked my philosophy teacher, would she rather be brilliant but unhappy or be a happy idiot.
She replied, "Well if you want to be unhappy you're already an idiot."
True that.
