one sec

Ok, here's an attempt at speed-blogging. I think I only have like 5 minutes before I have to leave, and I'm wondering what I can eek out in that time. I don't know what to write about... Ok, how come pressure is such a huge motivation for success? I'm speaking for myself specifically. I have been wanting to blog for weeks and weeks, but I have had no success as I have had no topic. Well, I'm in a now 3 minute time crunch and I feel like I have an infinite number of words to spill. Another example is creativity. I will sit with my guitar literally for hours and not be able to come up with ANYTHING. I want to create! I want to write songs! I want to plan ahead! But nothing. However, if I have a performance or am playing for something, inspiration hits like 2 hours before. Its really inconvenient. I'm wondering if the stress of the time crunch is like pressure that forces out the new creative ideas. I'm sure its all psychological. I want to find a loophole for this psychological hindrance. Sometimes I think my multitude of ideas and grand scheming actually cancels itself out. Its like I have such huge thoughts and actual aspirations to change the world that when I see how impossible the task is, I am immediately deflated and end up not leaving the house for days. Dang times up.
