The corporation has kicked it out of me. They don't want no stinkin' creativity. They just want you to show up. It's not about working, it's about having a job.

Creative people make noise and there's no room in this organization (the mighty corporation) for noise.

I'm tired of it!! The corpus has dragged me down. I can't take any more of the beatings. No more isolation. I'll stop making noise about things that don't make noise. Uncle!

Then I pick up this book, Hackers and Painters and I read chapter 2. I find someone else agrees with me.

I feel sane again.

I can't believe the way that Paul so lucidly describes the creative process. Amazing. Great reading and he creates a sense of empathy with the reader.

Wait a second. What is this turning within me? It feels like inspiration. Maybe there's some hope after all.
Thanks Paul, you rock!
