This post will be all over the place, but that’s life. When asked if I am creative (in the application\/interview process), I’m not sure how to answer. Honestly, who isn’t creative? I suppose what they mean is, “Do you let your creativity out (to play)?” Anyway, the answer is usually a simple yes (accentuated by a shrug of the shoulders). I might elucidate by suggesting they visit one of my websites, Chuckman Superhero<\/a> for example, knowing full well that they will probably not appreciate the creativity therein, hoping what they do see will not adversely affect my chances.<\/p>\n

Anyway, to the thought that started this. No, it was not about job interviews, but creativity and my process from point A to point B. I say my process, because of something a dear friend once said to me in a huff (angrily), “Not everyone thinks like you, Rob!” I’m still not sure if that’s true or not. If it is, more’s the pity.<\/p>\n

A neighbor of ours, Brad, has been nicknamed by my brother, ‘Brad The Inhaler.’ I won’t go into why. Anyway, this morning my brother was talking about Brad. My brain was drifting and the acronym, BTI, jumped to mind. I said BTI out loud a couple times, and in an effort to make it easier to say, it became bitty. One thing lead to another and I envisioned Brad all gangster (gangsta) as Bitti-G (pronounced Bit-E-G). Bitti-G all be like, Bitti-G where yo’ posse at?, and the likes started coming out of my mouth.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to the end of my bike ride (about 1\/2 hour later) and I’m singing Bitti-McGee to the tune ‘Me & Bobby McGee.’ Now I sit here writing this, listening to Janice (Joplin) while singing along (and substituting Bitti-McGee). By the way, my brother wasn’t surprised by my music choice.<\/p>\n

So, the question is, am I creative?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
