Inspired Ideas

We lose our creativity the day we leave our pencil crayons behind.

I couldn’t help but think that the other day as I scrambled to grab a pen, my BlackBerry and notebook as I rushed off to yet another meeting.

What ever happened to the days where we spent hours on the kitchen table sorting through all of our pencil crayons, wondering where the hell Cadet Blue disappeared to? Where we poured hours into creating the perfect title page. And you always knew, that one asshole, would break out the newest edition of Laurentian pencil crayons and up-stage everyone the next morning. But still we coloured away and let our imaginations run wild. We dreamed in colour.

That’s why I find it unfortunate that an entire generation will grow up and never use a pencil crayon, who needs that when you’ve got a colour printer and Photoshop?

I guess that’s what they call progress.
