Brain Searching Crazyness

To Start the brainstorming process I made a diarrhea of the brain type of list and just let it go but it kinda sounds like jeopardy topics:

-things that put you softly to sleep
-SPACE: THE FINAL FRONTIER
-overbearing empires
-domination
-a never ending story
-bearskin rugs
-sleep
-propi bun
-circus freak acts
-star wars
-naked women
-i hate "ee" sounds
-from the corner of your eye
-are you afraid of the dark?
-mosques
-racial intolerance
-western cowboys and rawhides
-finding a place to settle
-resting your head
-isolationism
-the brawny man, 'a mans man'
-evil scientists and their lab rats
-evil projects gone bad but with good intentions
-igors and monsters
-oh how many freaking colors there are to choose from.
-cute fluffy things.
-really cute fluffy things

In Conclusion?

Distilling down all the thoughts and free-writing has been really difficult. There was just TOO much, but ultimately it felt uplifting to just let my brain do its thang. On that note, I found myself exploring the "things we find comfort in" to be a sort of bow around this awesome list. It depends a lot on who the comfort is for, so in that sense it can cover a large range of people and comforts. For some, comfort is key lime pie, a cup of joe, even a hooker, etc. However, i've also been asking myself what is the boundary between what we find comfortable and uncomfortable? Or even real and imaginary? Do the best comforts come from the imagination or are they drawn from real time and space? 'Space' was another large focus during the free-write. Space is so infinite, its insane. There's space between this text, space in my head, spaces in time, space between each strand of hair and space between blood cells, the space between synapses. What is the need for space? Is space the core of comfort? Is imagination the core of comfort?


After all of this I started storming some more based off of comfort:


-the soles of your feet
-interior leather seats
-a stack of pancakes
-the way goggles fit around your head
-southern comfort alcohol
-the way you sit on a bike seat
-a good ole cigarette.
-the smell of anything awesome
-the spots on a dalmation
-crazy glue.
I also thought I'd post a couple videos that are pretty awesome:
