Idea behind (skid_concept)

By definition...

Main Entry: 1skid
Pronunciation: \skid\
Function: noun, verb
Etymology: perhaps of Scandinavian origin; akin to Old Norse skīth "stick of wood"
Date: circa 1610

1: one of a group of objects (as planks or logs) used to support or elevate a structure or object
2: to apply a brake or skid to : slow or halt by a skid

I could take a couple of different perspectives on this idea. One being, my ideas are used to support and progess something towards bettering itself. Two, I apply a break to myself. Acting without or before thinking only brings unecessary complexity and consequences. Or it could just be a simple play on my name...

Insight.

I'm a moderately expressed extrovert, who thinks outloud. I like to expand upon my emotions. I'm fatigued by a lack of stimulation. I live life to understand it. I am an idealist. A conceptualist. I match my artistic style to French Art Nuveau. I share an afinity for flat dynamic silhouettes, with subtle accents. I have a love for drawing. I never start a project without fully sketching out my ideas.

I visualize the completed elements as awhole through use of my imagination. Before whn I studied architecture I didall of my drawings by hand. It is said that there are some thigns a computer cando better than the hand. I believe it is the other way around. Hand drawings are beautiful and bring line to life. A new element is added to the picture, human vulnerability in making mistakes.

An Incomplete Manifesto for Growth

Drift. I always find myself wandering amlessly. Most days I dont remember how I get from point A to point B. I just arrive. My mind takes me on a mental journey and I'm distracted.
Keep Moving. Well I don't think I will ever have a problem with that. My ideas change daily. No two are the same. Kind of like a snowflake or fingerprint.
Begin anywhere. I love doing this. I start where ever my first thought is at that point. Sometimes I take one step forward and two steps back but somehow I end up reaching the end.
Don't be cool. I don't try to be cool. I exist as me. I am confident in who I am.
Stay up late. I don't have a problem doing this either. MY internal clock as been whacked out since I started college. That's why I try not to plan anything for the mornings.
Don't clean your desk. Well I know where everything is. So I don't clean it. IF I cleaned it I would end up organizing it and putting it somwhere else and then forgetting where I put it.
Explore the other edge. I always try to explore the side that is looked over in the begining phase of a project. Then I stretch that idea to the max.
Laugh. I don't have a problem doing this either. It's healthy for you.
Coffee breaks, cab rides, etc. Iam really intune with what is going on around me all thetime. I play my five senses to catch a glimpse, speck, tast, smell , sounds of something that inspires me. That is half the reason why my brain is always so busy and why I don't know how I get from Point A to Point B.
