Idea-lly

Ideas have a peculiar time when they pop up in the usually vast crevices of our brains. As Oasis said... "All your dreams are made, when you're chained to the mirror and the razor blade"... Though these lines do not encompass half of the demographic, however they've been proving quite true for me at least, provided I'm not rushing for office and peeling off in a hurry rather than shaving. The other, rather more creative time, i guess, is when I'm in my bed and not asleep at night. That makes up a long time considering the inveterate insomniac i am. The ideas range from all the song structures i want to write, all the scales i want to play, all the lyrics i wish to write, all that i want to do in my life, all that i could have said, all that i should not have said, all i could have expected, all i should have expected, the time i had been right, the time i thought i was right. The problem is that most of them are either forgotten or are suppressed by an even stronger idea which eventually gets forgotten. Well today's shaving session went into trying to figure out a solution for this. Don't tell me i could write the ideas down!!... Neither i would get up from bed to get my notepad and if writing while shaving, i don't want to end up using pen on my face and razor on the paper...
