Tapped Out

I find myself pretty dramatically out of idea steam. As if I have squeezed all of the idea I have out of me. This paucity of fresh idea, is not however, a dead end. Much as after Thanksgivings, when the turkey has been made into everything variety of sandwich...you can still boil the bones.

So this idea is boiling bones. It is consciously reflecting on the fact that you have nothing left that seems of value and then continuing to work through it.

This brings a series of metaphors to mind; the final sprint of an exhausted runner, the american native finding something to do with buffalo (american bison) knuckles and shit. Faulty metaphors perhaps, but somewhat apt.

What you find when you force yourself to work beyond your means--either of necessity or overactive motivation--is our resource towards ingenuity, to pull ass if from nowhere...something.

I suppose to phrase this in idea form, you should see what you do in a situation when your back is to the wall and you should count that amongst your arsenal of abilities. Maybe this will help you not to get so down and maybe that is all you really need to pull through. And maybe that's what you'' be remembered for too.

By the bye, after writing this I wrote two more idea posts. So, there is something to it.
