I Pink Therefore I Am
Welcome to the Lazy Pig website. It’s my fun new place for writing but I’m not sure what I’m going to write yet, not exactly.
If you’re wondering if I’m the lazy pig in question, you may not be wrong, but don’t assume you’re right either. Don’t assume ANYTHING.
Lazy, moi?
I’m not really lazy, of course*, nor do I expect many lazy pigs to snuffle my scratchings. Not that I’m not lazy either. “Lazy” is a judgemental subjective adjective, and I have no idea what your personal definition of it is. So, you decide what it means, as you should with absolutely everything I write.
I just string words and sometimes other odd and ends together and see what it looks like. If I knew what LazyPig.com was going to look like after a month or a year, or even by the end of this first piece, I’d probably get bored and go and create something else, but I don’t so here I am for now.
Categories, schmategories…
Before having written a single “bite”, I’m dividing them in my head into four categories. Why four? Well, you know that little ‘2’ you put up next to a number to say you square it? I quite like it. I’ve used it for years for my Infinity² puzzle-paintings but I’m not going to call this Lazy Pig² or anything pathetic like that. But the fact that 2² = 4 seems a good enough reason to have four categories as any. Plus, they fit nicely on the home page.
Dividing our lives into categories is a joke, of course*, but life coaches have been having fun doing it for years with their funky little Wheel of Life “tool” – heck, I’ve even created my own in my time – so let’s roll with it. Categories schmategories… here’s four for ya:
* You should, of course*, be extremely wary of anyone who uses the words “of course”. What they are really saying is, “Please, for pity’s sake, say you agree with me, I so desperately want someone to…”
Creativity Bites
I’m creative, yes, because I don’t have a choice. Do you? Are we not creating our lives, second to second or, rather, every seamless instant; in other words, all the time?
Given this imposed creativity, it seems to me that some things are more worth creating than others. This is my choice. What’s yours?
Productivity Bites
I’m productive, yes, because having great ideas and making marvellous plans is fine.. and fun. And then? Normally nothing.
Productivity is a strange beast. We almost kill ourselves to just get down to producing the very thing we were so excited about creating! Why is that? I have some ideas.
Infinity Bites
I’m infinite, yes, therefore it simply doesn’t matter if what I write is any good or not, if anyone reads it or not, if someone says they like it or not.
We’re all connected, and all I’m doing is vibrating my little corner of the cosmos, Or Whatever. I’ve got a feeling that Why? is the worst question out there, and that What (can I do to make a difference)? is a much more satisfying one.
Curiosity Bites
I’m curious, yes, because without curiosity I’d be creating, indeed existing, in a vacuum.
Despite what I said about Why? just now, life is so incredible, so weird, so nuts… that it would be a real shame not to enjoy playing around with all the nonsense there is to discover.
And of course, of the nuttiest questions of all to play around with is… Who am I?! If you’re into that, join me!
Over To You
To decide whether you want to read more, that is.
I love creating all sorts of stuff, sharing it on Facebook and elsewhere, learning from any reactions I get and creating some more.
I coach people to be as creative as they want to be too. My conclusion is that creating cool stuff regularly is a great way to lead a worthwhile, enriching and generous life. My own time is dedicated to doing just that and if you want to get involved and share your creativity with me, I’d be delighted to hear from you – send me an Oink! here!
