The funk hangs around with paint splattered overalls and a cigarette at 3 in the morning and thinks their day
has already been long but is far from over                    

The funk never even heard of the concept of a linear train of thought… the funk is often misunderstood…

The funk does not subscribe to you or your preconceived notions of how things should be… and more than that you can’t live without the funk…

The funk has no idea what they’re doing… but they know it’ll turn into something beautiful  with enough effort…

The funk is beautiful…

The funk sticks out in a room…

The funk sees beauty separate from function…

The funk realizes that they are not functional…

The funk does not care the funk is doing his or her own thing…

The funk sees life through funky eyes... perhaps the funk will show you what they perceive through those eyes

The funk inspires the functional…
This one stems from a conversation i had with a friend of mine. He's actually a pretty great painter but he was in a funk because the odds of him making a significant amount of money painting was...not great. He decided that he didn't care much for the things generally deemed functional...because the things that lack purpose sometimes serve to inspire function. so which is better? The funk if they inspire the functional, or the functional for getting stuff done?
