The crazy woman is on the loose. Yep, I'm building again, but I never stopped. I was always doing something on DigiThin until the day I pivoted right into my new startup idea.
Oh, I am wild. I am funny, I am seeking the something born into me to create. I am the one who has to find it and dig it out of me.
I have told different people, different versions of what my new startup is. This is because by talking to them I am actually forming the ideas "verbal presents." I know what it is in my head. The problem is the passage from the thoughts in my brain to the mouth. The wires get crossed. Some people see it as this way, and others see it as some other way. So I practice the route of the way out of my head that my idea must travel to get the most accurate version of what Passdown is, or does.
Apparently the route I used on my lawyer Josh and Myra, was the best route to the truth living in my brain. It is this route I hope in all my works that I will be able to convey that to you. To the people whom will benefit from Passdown.
Countless rambling descriptions of what it is, has been slashed and re-written. I have hacked the words up over and over. I want the most simple, fast and easy to read version.
Last night I was again at my 'day job.' Watching human hearts beat in all kinds of messed up beats. Hardly any of them had a song in them. Oh my weeping heart for the sick and the suffering. I thought about what Myra and I had talked about. She had this story about some sort of humanitarian organization she had done an internship with. She seemed to be focused on one thing that I should need to know. Going Viral. It can make you want to take your clothes off and run down the street naked!
Wait, what? Apparently the founder of this organization had run down the street naked after something the company did went viral. She said "he had a meltdown and went crazy."
I was going over in my mind what Myra and I had talked about the night before. This night I was working with someone else, and she was quite. So I had time to think about what Myra had told me. For some reason Myra was warning me. I think it's because she thought Passdown had some sort of possibility of going viral. She was worried for me. She didn't want me to become like the founder of the organization she had worked for. She didn't want me to run down the street buck naked! Damn, now that's crazy.
I admit to my craziness often in my blog. I am aware of it. I also am aware that it is part of the gift of creativity, yet I don't see myself running down the street naked. If I do, please take lots of pictures! : - ) It could make you a ton of paparazzi cash.
Still, her concern to bring up this story was important to her. She wanted to warn me about the possibility of going viral, as it could lead to unpredictable behavior in a founder. Hmmm
The thing about viral is, you can take steps to try to create it to happen or you can just never worry about it, and if and when it goes viral. Be happy! Some people are so shocked that they went viral a year after they posted a youtube video. To them the story is long over, and all of a sudden they are famous! I do not know what it would be like to go viral, but I am almost positive I will not run down the street naked.
If Passdown went viral the only thing I think I might do is get drunk and do druken posting. : - ) yep, guilty! Thank goodness you won't have to see me naked. That could be frightful!
