Friends are fun

A couple of weeks ago we made the long, harrowing travel across the great chasm that is Nebraska to visit my long lost friends and family in Missouri. On our way Becca and I started talking about how long it had been since we had been there and realized it had been almost a year. Yikes - people grow around 365 days older in a year and that's a lot of growing. Needless to say it was great to see everyone we got to see, and sad to not see those that we missed, but it got me thinking about the amazing friends I have.

One of my friends, Serenity posted on her happy again blog about some things that are underrated. Well, I think friends are one of those things, especially when it comes to things like we talk about on this blog, creativity, imagination, art. Too often we look at these things the way we always have been taught. They are something that comes out of your own inner muse, they are a reflection of who you are, they are a piece of your soul for gosh sakes. What does that have to do with friends?

It should have everything to do with your friends.

Something that I think is greatly missing in the creative process, although some people are beginning to get a hold if it, is a little thing I like to call "collaboration." (No, I did not make that word up for those of you who have never heard it, it is in the dictionary.) It is in the spirit of friendships and collaboration that I am working on peeling off the newest slice of this delicacy called ORAN6E. It is called just that "ORAN6Eslices" I want people to be able to meet and hear from some of my friends and see what makes them tick. In the next couple of weeks I will begin periodically posting "ORAN6Eslices" videos both here and as podcasts available for download on iTunes. (I am providing the link to iTunes in case someone has just awakened from a 10 year comma and has no clue what great and glorious wonders await them.)
So if there are any imaginative people that you would like to hear from, let me know. And who knows, you might just find yourself projected on the wee silver screen.

Since Evan just bought an Ipod this will be a great excuse for me to "steal" it for a while. Good idea!
