There might be someone crazy here

Hi, I am Peter. And I really should not be left alone, bored and next to my sketchpad or a computer.

I am going to occasionally jot down random ideas and drawings and create games, polls, trivia (no cheating), riddles, etc. Posts will be rare, but if you use a device, use it to think. Even when I was a kid, I had to wait till the next morning to find out the Caps' game results and recap and check the closing prices of the stock market. It was yesterday's news today. with a bowl of Fruit Loops.

Parents used to say look left and right (which I guess is good advice unless you're in the UK).I say put down your phone, walk away from your computer, and turn off the TV—look left, right, up, down, and behind you. If that is too much, consider sitting down to read a book, calling a friend, painting a wall, purchasing a boat, or trying a new recipe. Keeping in mind these are thoughts from a college dropout.

It is just, generally, kind of my take on the things in the world. A lot of the people who did some of the most beneficial things for the world, a community, or a neglected population were pretty much crazy. Some people have called me privileged; I am a little crazy and hopefully can use that to effect change.

I generally keep rather quiet and listen to the needs and start sketching out my ideas. I discuss portions of them with my friends, family, and random individuals I approach with a 'What if?' question.'Sometimes I solve problems that don't need solving just for fun, but the most enjoyment I obtain is when my idea is needed and it works.

Those of you who know me personally know that I am a big theater nerd and enjoy directing or being part of the creative team. But I have a confession. Shows and (especially) events: I have not fully immersed myself in a show from the audience. I watch and enjoy the show, but I watch the audience and the technical and scenic elements just as much.

I want to see how people react and what I might tweak. I want to see how things were done and if there's a better, more impactful way. I drive people nuts who go with me to shows because if I brought my office chair and swivel, I would. My favorite vantage points in theaters are the box seats closest to the stage; they are normally not sold because they save them for standby performers and the view is obstructed. But I can see the entire crowd; I can see the conductor, and I can see straight into one wing. Many people say I have ruined theater for them.

Anyways, all the world is a stage. Occasionally I offer observations to others as solutions. Many times the solution is simpler than you thought.

I will share more thoughts on my observations and solutions, as well as the rules I follow when creating and presenting my ideas.

But I do want you to think: Who is crazy? Is it me for sharing this or you for reading it?
