No good deed goes unpunished...

So they say.

Although, after helping my sister move house for four hours and getting a bitten by an ant/spraining my ankle, I'm probably going to have to agree. Especially when you still have to go to work with said ankle.

At least I get the sympathy vote. All of my customers (I work in retail) where all, 'Oh no, I'm so sorry, I'm making you walk so much!' and I'm all, 'I'm at work. What did you think I'd be doing?'

Cause seriously, my store is huge. I kind of figured walking would play a part in my day. :P But still, pain isn't so cool.

The Epically Lame

If you've ever tried to create something, anything, you're going to realize how damn hard it is to be orignial. So you're trying to write a story? Think of something, anything and you'll find it in a book or movie somewhere in the world. Ditto to art. And cooking. Although maybe not so much with cooking - ok, yes, people are eating bugs now but go out there, find a new speicies of bug and viola! You're the chef to the world's newest food craze!

But for the rest of us, who require nothing more then our own creativity, it's still incredible hard to think of a good concept. Killer robots. Done. Singing villians. Done. Killing your main character. Done. Killing everyone. Done.

So whats left? Really, the only thing left is the lame. Why? Because it's so lame no one wants to go there.

Except thats been done, too. Don't believe me? Research Barbie movies on the internet. Warning: not for the faint hearted, people. Little blonde doll will give you nightmares with her cheerful, chirpy attitude and extrodinarily annoying friends.

So I guess we really have no other option than to just go for whatever the hell we come up with. So what if its overused, over-lamified, or just plain weird? We're artists, people! Of course you don't get the painting/story/whatever! Clearly you just have no artistic vision.
*cough*

'Okay, so I really had no idea what to paint so I just threw different colors at the canvas. I had no idea to what to write as an ending so I killed them all. Okay, so I - nope, I don't have an excuse for that, its just stupid.'

Curses.
