Creativity

I was always one of those people who enjoyed art and other peoples creativity growing up. Maybe even envious of it, felling I couldn't create anything original or new. I loved art but never really had a true talent to do it, that my brother got - wonderful at comic drawing and creating. I did have my own creativity, if that is what you want to call it, in my dressing - I painted my shoes to be different and tried to dress originally using the normal selections with a twist to create me. I did the music thing, not composing but playing, yes I was in the band... But, now I am older and do appreciate art of all kinds; paintings, drawings, carvings, music, and writting.
My life has calmed down in the working end a lot over the last two years. With this mellowing I found reading, mostly fantasy - where anything can happen - anything. I even started getting ideas of my own for stories and have started writing notes on them with the thought to maybe expand on them in the future.
I have noticed that different things affect my creativity, the weather and seasons really affect me. At times I wish I had more time to spend there in that creative world when the thoughts are flowing.
I find it funny at times that when I was in school I had a block which I couldn't create but now I enjoy the small creativity I have found in myself.
Well, after this long thought... Have you always been creative and original or are you new to the field? What helps influence the creativity for you?

Trying out the blog.

Okay, now I have to play around with this blogging thing to get the hang of it. I have lots of things to learn here and questions to figure out then solve. Like can anyone who looks around find you? Well, I will just keep playing with this till I get it right, along with looking around other blogs to see what the norm seems to be to do with the sites.

Trying to keep up with the movings of the internet world. Even if I am slightly behind in the happenings. Just starting to venture out into cyber space to conquer new worlds, okay at least learn and use the technologies that are at my fingertips. Well, I figure I might as well take advantage of all resources that are available to learn new things and talk with friends.

Always willing to give it a shoot and see what happens. I can use this a lot or end up not using it at all. I shall see what happens and is to come.
