Put your bricks to use, man...
Ok this is very random, philosophical even. But this idea came to me today and it hits the nail on the head, if the nail is where I'm at in my life. I've accepted I can't stop making "bricks;" designing, making music, writing, etc. These things are part of who I am. What I have to stop doing is throwing these bricks on the lawn in random, half-formed useless piles. I need (fairly desperately) to start forming these bricks into something purposeful, a house, a path, a wall, a flower-bed for Pete's sake, SOMETHING.
I don't want to downplay inspiration or exploration as these are crucial to creative work, but right now I would give pints of blood to see my bricks start forming something other than a scattered mess. Now the hard part, setting out to do something about it... :)

You can do it!!!
For what it's worth, this cyber-place where I read your post is definitely "something."
And I'd say each of your music albums is a "house." They may not be generating big bucks for the landlord right now, but you've got a whole neighborhood there.
I'm feeling your message, but don't sell yourself short.
Dude, I feel ya. And I love the analogy. I also love that house on the right ;)
Thanks for the kind words, folks. And KD, I hear you, there is definitely value in the things I have done I would just love to see them all working together somehow.
Tab: Yeah love that house, it's in Canada tho.
Hey, it's been an honor to invariably scatter and stack some of those bricks with you!
Not sure how you're measuring the building, but from my perspective I'm seeing one foundation.
Man back at you... honor. And yeah, maybe it's the way I'm looking at the bricks, I have yet to decide...
