    I'm running a test to see who's reading my posts. So, if you read this, leave me a one-word comment about your day. Only one word please. Then copy this to your wall so I can leave a word for you. Don't just post a word and not copy -that's not as much fun.

    Whenever I read something phenomenal, I always go straight to Garageband and set a multitrack of me singing it and using a vocoder-like technique to get amazing chords from the text. Art is ACTIVE. :) When you find art you love, don't just sit there and read it, or look at it, or sing it. DO IT. Change it. Find your own motives. Build your own art from art.
