Monday Marina and Creativity at the Commonwealth Club

I love those days when I go to work and then have a whole other life afterward. Especially when that whole other life is filled with beauty and interesting conversation and dreaming. Today was one of those great days and tonight, I'll rest a head filled with funny quips and remembered scenes of a day way more than ordinary.

A colleague and I opted to walk downtown after work by way of the Marina, North Beach, and China Town. It took a good hour and a half but, it was a beautiful walk (check out the pics).

 

We parted ways at the BART station where I headed up to the Commonwealth Club to hear Ze Frank speak. Oh, how I love Ze Frank! The first time I heard of him was when he did his July 2010 TED Talk. Then, he focused on how hard it is to connect with people and how he has used the internet to connect with people via such projects as Young Me Now Me and Ray. In the Commonwealth Club talk, he brought his telltale humor and went into great depth about his relationship with the Jungian archetype Peur Aeternus (the eternal boy). He also shared one of his infamous songs (I love them). I left wanting more creativity in my life and with recommendations from Ze on how to get more. Check out the podcast.... That's him in the fuzzy picture below.
