Future Thoughts

I've always imagined trends.  When I was little, I had a notebook where I designed clothes.  Most were pretty out there, but a lot of them have come to be.  It was all kind of random, "wouldn't it be cool if..." but now my sense of what will come has been slightly more honed. 

So now I want to share my predictions and make myself a Nostradamus of the internet. 

I'm a little late on these, but here's what's been on my mind.

+ Mustaches will be replaced by Octopuses. 
+ Horizontally striped pants will become a fashion thing (it won't be everywhere, only on the trendiest legs).
+ Round sunglasses will make a comeback.

Creativity

Recently I've been feeling great urges to Verb.  I want to do everything, try every single thing out.  What's getting me the most is kind of silly...  I want to write a trance album.  Nothing too spaced out, think DJ Onyx.  I haven't tried writing music in almost a decade (doesn't that kind of sentence make you feel old?).  But I've got some stuff to work with.  I've also been drawing a lot more pictures, but none are quite finished yet.

I'm not sure what I should do first, since all seem to have equal urgency on my list of wants.  So I keep ending up spastically switching between things with extreme focus until something in the real world pulls me away.  Last night I was late to pick up my boyfriend from work because I was so busy working on my food website and editing all sorts of different pictures.  I feel like my drive to be awesome is coming back, though it is hard to fight the laziness (damn you Baudelaire!).

Ingenuity

And that's not a bad quality at all.

I'm not an alcoholic or anything, but any sort of strife (yes, the lack of a cork screw can constitute a sort of strife) can lead to great things.

(See I'm not just trying to dumb things down; there's still a moral.)

Web Comics

Recently I've been able to relate to a lot of web comics and it's been making me think more and more of venturing down that path.  Though I do doodle quite frequently, I've never done it with any consistency or theme or even style.

I wonder if a pointillism web comic would work...?

I probably wouldn't go that far.  I'd either end up scanning things in or getting really good at MS Paint again.

UPDATE:
Probably not here actually.  I'm in the middle of prepping for a different site to put web-comic-like doodles and pictures up.  Once that's going I'll give you the address.

UPDATE AGAIN:
Here's the url.

I update it even less than I do here, but I hope that will change soon.  I have tons of hard-copies of drawings that I just need to scan in.  I guess that's what days off should be for.
