this is a song that justin and i wrote.
it actually has music, not that we plan on singing it in public. but i really like the words.
undiscovered beautiful
undiscovered terrible
red wine
touch your fingers to my lips
singe my skin
i’m drunk again
undecided
stay or go
bleeding all is all i know
drying tears from drying eyes
dark and long the lonely night
here again
find me now, my closest friend
warm my hands we’ll dance again
breathe again
your laugh-lined smile will seem so new
i’ll dance for you
just sing for me.

i have long envied the writers of myth and dreamed of living in ancient times so my words would shape our most primal memories

So how did you do it? How do you guys work so well together? How do you set aside differences and dance, sing, write and perform together. I think I have a trust issue (being a perfectionist and all). Ben would love to do these things with me, but I seem to %@#&* it up everytime. We so far have painted one painting and one collage. Two years ago! How do you set aside perfectionism and just enjoy being creative with Justin? Do you pretend he's not your husband and just a creative friend. WHAT?! TELL ME YOUR SECRET!
By the way,....love the song. I would really like to hear the music.
I have a similar problem
I can't collaborate wotrh a damn.
I have a friend who says it's because I'm "artistically autocratic",which sounds a hell of a lot better than the "selfish sociophobe" label I had given myself.
I think we need to start a support group, Steph. I'm just not sure how we'd go about planning it together.
:)
well, first justin unintentionally insults me and then i throw small to medium size projectiles at him...
but seriously, the main thing is that in everything we do justin has a part, and i have a part. and the general rule we have is that whoever is responsible for something is responsible for it, therefore their way goes for their part. not that there isn't a great deal of debating and projectile throwing in the process, but that is the end we are consistently aiming for.
it actually goes all back to my favorite management structure, ends-based management. basically, you clearly define your goal with everything broken down as to what makes the goal what it is, you define what is not acceptable in the reaching of said goal, and you determine who (individuals or groups of individuals) is responsible for each means , or way of reaching the goal. you won't get everything perfectly defined the first or even second time, but it's a really good way of measuring success and failure. and then you try again. and again. and i don’t pretend he’s not my husband. the conflict that is inherent from the nature of individuality is essential in the growth of the collaborative process, in my opinion, or else you end up with the dominant person’s way being the only way. i think the coolest part about collaboration is you end up with an outcome that is wholly unique from what each person involved would have reached on their own.
my favorite projectile is the ink pen, for a side note:)
and drew, that's silly. you collaborate all the time. there are lots of different types of collaborations, which vary in their levels of individual autonomy within the accomplishment of the desired goal depending on lots of variables such as context, individual personality types, learning methods, communication style, etc.
and there is my long winded reply. steph, your house isn't really considered public, so you might hear the song.
maybe:)
brevity...
and remember, Steph - the heat of the meat is directly proportionate the bang of the wang.
