Creative People More Than A Little Eccentric?

Are creative people a little freakish and unique? I've heard some people lament about creative people before - "They're a little weird sometimes because the creativity in them makes them a little bit cuckoo somewhere in their heads". 
On a scale of creativeness (of cuckooness), I think I rank myself a 7. I am not considered a creative genius but I consistently have some good (and mostly horrid) ones enter my head. And there's nothing more satisfying than to see one of your creation come to fruition. 
(I bet you can see where my LAW DEGREE could fit into this whole equation or strange personality, right. Right)
But do you REALLY think creative people are little funny? Or eccentric? If you ask me, my answer would be a wonderful 'yes' because most of the creative geniuses I know in the music, writing and other advertising or movie-making industry are a little funny in the head. They have out-of-the-norm perception of what's acceptable and are often a little loud-mouthed (identify yourself if you think I am talking about you). 
Creative people and writers, musicians or actors are born with that streak in them and it's because they have loads of things that they see and others don't that they get a little impatient with others. 
Just imagine...it's like "Why can't you see it, you big fat dumbo? It's right there under your nose. We could do this and that...and then this...then that and it would ALL COME TOGETHER so BEAUTIFULLY". 
Normal people will stare at them with mouth open.....really? Would it? Aaaahhh....if you say so. But inside their heads, they're probably thinking, "This person's really got his or her screws all wrong, man"
Creative people may have a slightly more....erm....eccentric and attention-worthy personalities but I would not be too keen to call them weirdos or cuckoo-heads. Instead, I would like to think of creative people as a necessity because....without them, the world will be normal and there would be no entertainment and drama. 
B.O.R.I.N.G.......

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...

Drunk People Cannot Make Comments on Blogs

OK, here's the thing with this image thing....you don't want people to design robots or programs or spiders or cockroaches or whatever to spam blogs and websites. I understand that. In fact, I am all for it. It's annoying to have spambots come in and post one liners like.... Can't get it up? Try this website. Top quality Viagra for low pricing. Value discount if bought inbulk. Or the most common ones would be.... Want a completely paid-for holiday with your family and coming home to a villa beside the sea before taking a spin in your luxury car. Then you have to read this! It's amazing! Within three weeks, you will get $32,000 in your account. Within a month, whether you like it or not, we'll bank in $65,498 into your bank account. Within six months, you're a f*%#@* royalty. I don't like that....and I assuming you don't like that either, right? If you have a popular blog, you get even worse stuff like hate mails, awful comments or people who ...

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked whatā€™s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it isā€¦. If you say ā€˜ reading ā€™, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ā€¦.) and I also love mystery novels but itā€™s not the first on the list. If you say ā€˜ playing the piano ā€™; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), thereā€™s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. Itā€™s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ā€˜ writing ā€™; Youā€™ve got to be kidding me! You mean I donā€™t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ā€˜ playing with my kids ā€™; Yea...
