LESSON ON IMAGINATION:
Memorable people look at the world differently, posing questions outside the box. Whether it's exploring outer space, the oceans, or theories of how organisms or the universe works, explorers ask "What's Beyond?" They venture deeper, outside, and higher than the box of current knowledge.
Inventors are legendary for saying "Why Not?", "Let's try this", "That blows, why can't it be like this?" Before they know it, inventors have asked enough questions to bring them closer to making their dreams manifest.
Don't forget that often overlooked but quintessential kind of smart. Genius artist and musicians can take common items and ask "What If I did this from this perspective?", then shift and combine their materials to create moving masterpieces that invoke awe from their audience of the imagination-challenged, or more fittingly the imagination-lazy.
I know for certain that we all have an imagination and a genius inside. Most of us forget it though, and it twitters away into chaos. We say "We're no good at that", and use our vapid imagination to create the worst excuses of why you can't do something, get something you want, or attract something you desire.
If not harnessed, our imaginations are underutilized, relegated to taper expectations so we can’t be hurt. If you learn anything from this blog, it should be that dreams only come true if you use your imagination to go towards what you want, rather than leaving it to imagine obstacles. Active imagination is not a guarantee, unfortunately, it's a prerequisite. If you don't agree you're just being a fool, player.
PREPARING WITH IMAGINATION:
Let’s apply active imagination in a college setting. For many higher learners, college is synonymous with poor. Poor means cheap, and cheap means splitting two ply toilet paper, reusing plastic cups, and surviving on Ramen Noodles.
If you are what you eat, I'm quick and easy, and Ramen Noodles are the perfect convenient lunch time menu item. For the genius of Steve though, Ramen Noodles can be a great gag gift if bought in bulk and a tool for his creative genius. Ramen Noodles can be transformed into letters that spell out 'H's, then 'A's then 'P's and much, much more. Eventually Steve took these letters and spelled "Happy Birthday Ass" to transform the mundane into legendary laughs and memories for all. Ramen Noodles set the stage for the birthday party of the year.
For years, in fact, for his whole life, Anthony's birthday has been trapped between Xmas and New Years which made it hard to escape to celebrate with his friends. I commend Anthony for combating a childhood blizzard which ruined his only birthday party. Instead of sulking on a therapist’s couch, Anthony mobilized his imagination and proactively did something about his lack of birthday party joy.
Anthony didn't use his imagination to say it couldn't be done. Anthony could have made excuses, --people are all at their homes, they can't be reunited. Anthony didn’t use his imagination to say, "Nobody likes me that much", or use self doubt to ask, "What will people think if I had to throw myself a party? Would I be a loser?"
Brilliantly, Anthony threw all doubts and fears away like he does with recycled bottles to piss off MattyMat. He IMAGINED what he wanted in his perfect birthday party. Nobel as he is, Anthony's only true desire was to have his friends there and it'd be perfect.
But why stifle his imagination and not go further? Anthony likes alcohol, let's have some of that, and maybe some music. Anthony's always complaining about his boney ass wanting to be comfortable so wouldn't it be great if he could lounge in his party, in say a robe? Hell, contrary to the myriad of gay-esk pictures, Anthony really likes girls so let’s get the girls to dress up, or should I say dress down-meow.
Thusly, a Playboy themed birthday party was born from the visionary’s imagination of Anthony. Who cares if people think he's just overcompensating for his gayness, and just trying to put on a face of a sex driven heterosexual to combat the truth? Anthony imagined it, so as his friends we imagined it too, and made it real.
APPLICATION OF IMAGINATION:
...How ridiculous was this playboy party you're probably asking. Let's just say you can see some of the fun from the pics, but this party was so crazy Anthony had a cake, but didn't have time to eat it too!!
The drinks were flowing, literally out of the cups and onto the floor, many, many times (I was responsible for a spill myself). I think Steve showed MattyMat a zoomed picture of Amy's crotch which frightened MattyMat because he thought it was a dude, leading to a ruckus that left brokenness. Previously in the semester James replaced a hole in the wall with a fake outlet, and tipsy Anthony made the mistake of plugging the vacuum into it--hahahaha. Personally though, I preferred it when MichealAnne played the maid and cleaned up the mess in her sexxy outfit, meow.
Even though Trouble (Jess) was not in the mood to dress up, she still found a guy named JoeJ hitting on her endlessly. He's a nice pal, but is the standard clueless type around women, smothering them which make him seem desperate. When he passed out, we drew on JoeJ because that is the college party law.
Gallantly, I gave Trouble the hilarious rejection hotline number (212-478-7990) to give to JoeJ, but she claimed that was mean so I left Nicole to try to fend him off for. I still think Trouble, along with most girls, need to learn how to reject guys themselves. If I was a hot girl, I'd be like, "Sorry I'm not attracted to you. Nothing personal, it's just your approach is predictable like a wuss. If you really want to attract girls, you might try to relax, be funny, don’t try so hard, tease a girl and make her want to come to you. At least that's what I like."
Anywho, luckily Ashley dressed up, and didn't see the rejection hotline the same way as Trouble. Ashley plugged that rejection number in her phone and considered me a savior. I think this was after she spent forever "ordering a pizza" and then picking it up in her lingerie to the joy of the Papa John’s delivery man. If you have free long distance like normal cell phones, call the number for a laugh right now.
To get the ladies to shake their sexiness we laid down some tunes. We learned that not all black people can do the moonwalk, but Anthony can shake his groove thing okay for a white Caucasian. MattyMat in his skilled tradition dropped down and did some break dancing. Who can top that?, one may wonder. I sent Dicke to dance with MattyMat’s sister, KT, and then dip her which sent overprotective MattyMat searching for a weapon. Even Nicole, when she wasn't chilling with Steve, joined in to create a congo line of massaging.
I tried to take extra pictures to make sure Anthony had enough sexxy shots to remember the lively night because I wasn't sure how wasted he was going to become. Obviously, Amy's fat ass wondering around came in the way of the photo lense a few times, but between Steve, Dicke and I, we got some great pictures, including classic shots of Brooke and Kate. Granted the mosaic I created for Anthony with my pics isn't as kewl as the Antonio Banderas cologne he got, but I’m sure he appreciated it all.
As the night peaked, Nancy showed up. [James started this tradition when one of the guys gets trashed their feminine alter ego comes out and does the puking. When Anthony goes to the toilet he is transformed to Nancy]. After Nancy finished, the party thinned and we chilled around reminiscing over the craziness that just commenced. I glanced at Trouble peacefully lying on Anthony’s shoulder, randomly exposing his nipple from his robe. Everyone knows “nipples make me sleepy” so before the sun blinded us, we headed back to my place to crash. Now that’s IMAGINATION, will it inspire you?
