Ever find yourself yearning for the days when creativity oozed from every neighborhood nook? I'm Tommy Heitz, your guide to the whimsical and the profound, and in our latest session at the Observation Station, we're plastering our thoughts all over this canvas we call nostalgia. We take a stroll down memory lane, lamenting the lost art of imagination that once reigned from the basketball courts to the skate parks. It's time to unplug and reminisce about the raw, unfiltered inventiveness of yesteryear's legends—Tracy McGrady, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Vince Carter—and ponder why it feels like that spark's been dimmed by the constant glow of smartphone screens.
But all is not lost in our quest for creative bliss! This episode isn't just a wistful look back; it's also a hopeful gaze forward into the world of adult coloring books and those luxurious Faber-Castell colored pencils that transform a simple doodle into a masterpiece. So, whether you're someone who's felt that electric thrill of nailing a new trick at the skate park, or you find solace in the zen-like state of shading within the lines, join us. Let's reignite the creative fire within and laugh along the way, because creativity isn't extinct—it's just been hibernating.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Do you ever lift your head up from your phone, look
around and think to yourself myGod, everything is weird.
Well, we do a lot.
This is the Observation Station, a unique, entertaining and
hilarious podcast.
(00:22):
If we observe it, we talk aboutit.
Anything and everything,anything and everything.
Let's get weird and let's havesome fun.
This is the Observation Stationand now your host, tommy
Heights.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Alrighty, ladies and gentlemen, fellow observers,
this is Tommy Heights, your host, back with another episode of
the Observation Station.
Hope you guys have been keepingyour eyes out looking at the
news and then shutting it offimmediately.
Today's episode is going to beabout the depth of human
creativity.
So to start off here, I justwanted to have it where, just to
(01:12):
have a public statementannouncement please, people, get
off of your phones when you'redriving and dealing with too
much of this on the highway.
So if anybody's listening tothis, stop texting and driving.
It's going to segue into mynext part here, which is the
(01:33):
depth of human creativity, whichis the basis of this episode.
The phone has been whereeverybody's face has just been
glued, just absolutely vacuumedinto the phone, and creativity
is falling far off of what backin the day, when we were drawing
(01:54):
and having different things wewere making in class, to just
like art class.
Nowadays, yeah, somebody, hey,what's something that you can do
creatively?
I don't know.
Look, even playing aninstrument, you come up with
different melodies, sounds,things of that nature, or
(02:18):
basketball.
A lot of things now aren't ascreative as I feel like they
were in the 80s and 90s.
It just seems to be boring.
The basketball is not as coolas the early 2000s when there
was like Tracy McGrady, kobeBryant, kevin Garnett, vince
Carter.
Those were the days theAll-Star Games were fun to watch
(02:38):
.
Nowadays, you have it, it feelslike no one's even trying at
these All-Star Games.
So the creativity isn't eventhere anymore, when people would
be trying to showcase dunks andcrazy stuff.
But now it isn't inherentlywhere.
It's not like the 90s kids orthe 80s kids where when you grew
(03:00):
up you kind of were thrownoutside saying get out there and
play with your friends baseball, bmx, biking, whatever it was.
So an example was back in theday I used to have a scooter.
I loved the scooter.
Nowadays you don't see too manypeople doing like razor scooter
tricks.
It's now more like electricscooters that cut you off in
(03:23):
traffic going 15 miles an hourand you're like why is this guy
on the road?
So used to have it where you'dgo to the skate park with the
scooter.
People would be with rollerblades, skateboards, you name it
.
So that was the place wherepeople would come up with cool
(03:43):
tricks.
Meet friends, have it whereit's like oh man, let's try that
trick, let's think about ithere.
So that was fun.
You go out there, make thingshappen.
Maybe try to be like TonyHawk's Pro Skater with one of
the skateboards out there.
Figure out very quickly thatthey make it look much easier on
(04:04):
the game than trying to jump upwith a skateboard.
You think to yourself why is itthat I can't?
I'd say you feel like you'vemade 100,000 Oli's on Tony
Hawk's Pro Skater.
When you get on that board andtry to Oli where you've never
done that before, it's not aseasy as it looks.
It's kind of like golf or iceskating.
It's easier on TV than when youhave to actually play the game.
(04:30):
So other ways that creativity isput into place.
Now it could be adult coloringbooks.
I love to do that.
Some of the things that peopledon't understand is that colored
pencils make a completedifference where you buy them
Crayola, great.
Once you're an adult and havethe means to invest a little bit
(04:52):
more into your colored pencils,it's really great because
different colors can be used toshade.
Since they're a higher quality,say like a Faber-Castell
F-A-B-E-R-C-A-S-T-E-L-L GreatGerman company.
It's expensive for thesepencils.
(05:12):
It's a therapeutic thing, soit's an investment in yourself.
So the ways that that hashelped myself with getting
creative is the patience.
Behind these adult coloringbooks there is a lot more
intricate patterns In turn.
When you finish them, it is somuch better to have it where you
(05:41):
feel accomplished to have.
I know I'm stuttering here, butif I could only show you the
photos that I've done with these, you feel like, wow, I'm an
artist.
I could say you're justcoloring, but it takes you maybe
a couple of hours to do this.
If you're really dedicated andnot just trying to have it where
(06:03):
it's like oh, I'm just going tomake all this green, all this
red.
Once the patterns startbecoming to be made on there and
you start seeing it come intolife, that's when it's like whoa
.
This is crazy because you'reaccomplished, especially when it
starts becoming where you learnhow to shade.
When you shade, it's like whoa,this is bringing these photos
(06:27):
to life.
So that's another example.
I play acoustic guitar, whichfingerstyle was the preferred
mode for me.
You could make all thedifferent notes go up and down,
up and down, up and down.
With each singular note.
Usually, a lot of times onmusic videos you're hearing a
(06:49):
complete strum.
So it's like, and instead of alot of the people where you hear
maybe solos, a lot more of thefinger style.
It's like individual notes.
It's like it might be strumming, though it's easiest kind of
(07:11):
audibly to listen to it.
But acoustic is nice, since youdon't have to always have a
speaker amplifier with you atall times.
That's just what makes it moreportable than an electric guitar
, so it gives you the ability tobe on the move.
I'm just giving options andideas.
It could be where stand-upcomedy like I've been mentioning
(07:33):
many episodes before, stand-upis something that is needed for
me to step out of my shell.
Get up there, get heckled.
That's the biggest thing thatI'm worried about.
But you have to beunderstanding.
There's going to be somebodythat's heckling in the crowd.
I don't know why somebody seemsthat that would be a great way
(07:54):
to come out into a crowd andstart to yell.
It's like the only thing thatI've ever heard somebody go in
there and start yelling about.
If you go into an orchestra or aband, like you're watching a
band play, do you ever have itwhere the orchestra is silently?
I've never to this day heard anaudience member at an orchestra
(08:20):
go louder, louder.
I can't hear that.
What Can you tell them to turnthe mute?
You never hear somebody likethat.
But at stand-up it seems likethese people are thinking
they're on stage and they juststart yelling obscenities.
It's like what the hell'stalking?
Why are you talking in thisshow?
They go oh my god, you can'tgive us advice.
(08:44):
It's like what?
Why are these people doing this?
So look if it's figured outwhere it's set in your own mind.
Oh, I have no creativity, I'mjust kind of a Joe Schmo.
Nothing has come up that islike where I make you know
(09:07):
spectacular this, that or theother.
So I'm just kind of a normalJoe Schmo.
Okay, well, you know, nobody'sgoing to want to ever talk to
you because you're just going tobe a same cookie cutter human.
Everybody sees all the time soneeding to be standing out of
the crowd.
That is what's going to get youthe good looking woman.
It's going to get you thefriends that are not like cookie
(09:29):
cutter, because you're going toattract what you are.
So another way to approach lifeitself and saying, wow, I'm not
getting what I'm wanting rightnow.
This is where the creativitycomes into play.
Look at what you're reading,watching, listening to all the
time when you hear a bunch ofCNN or just news negatively
(09:53):
talking about how the world'syou know, doing this, doing that
people are like this and thatrhetoric is constantly put into
your head, your creativity isgoing to be not very high
because all you're doing islooking at headlines that are
made to shock you, where you canregurgitate it back to the
people and that's all that.
(10:16):
That is there.
You're not creating creative.
All you're doing is reading andregurgitating to people.
So that's not going to beconducive for somebody to have
extra spice in their life.
That it's like whoa, this guy'sdifferent and you can't say in a
good or a bad way.
But people like different.
That's why when you seesomething like a new song come
out, you're like oh, let me trythis out.
(10:37):
Never heard something like this.
And you hear it's like well, Ican't put my finger on it, I
like it, it sounds different.
Well, that's what makes youkind of like it.
It's new.
So figuring another way to haveit where it's like okay, I was
mentioning before, you don'thave what you want in your life.
(10:58):
Take a look at some books youcould read here.
It is not fun, hell.
I'm out there all the timelistening to books saying this
is boring, shit sucks, I mean,it's terrible.
I don't want to be readingbooks.
I hate reading books.
Only time I liked reading bookswas when it was like Pizza Hut
(11:19):
Bookit, where I lied and gotfree personal pan pizzas.
It's only time I liked readingwith open quotes in the air.
So the rest of this is for doingproper training of the mind.
If you're gonna say, hey, look,I don't wanna do this, it's
just hey, you know, the worstpart of it is sitting there and
(11:41):
concentrating and not scrollingthrough your phone or doing this
other stuff, really absorbingthe content you're listening to,
like how to win friends andinfluence people.
Pop, you know, never split thedifference by Chris Voss.
That's a very good book,especially when it comes down to
negotiations.
I'd have to say, if there's abook you gotta read, never split
the difference by Chris Voss isa very good one.
(12:03):
And Robert Green, 48 Laws ofPower, stuff like that.
Art of War, art of Seduction,art of War with Sun's Zoo, but
like Art of Seduction, robertGreen.
These are things that need tobe put into your library.
If it's not gonna be where youfigure I need to improve myself,
(12:24):
well then just stop.
Stop today, you're gonna be thesame as you were Yesterday and
the day before and the daybefore and the day before.
If it's just like I'm not gonnaimprove, I'm just gonna do this
.
So I'm just gonna be the same.
I'm not gonna be good, leave itup to the big guy.
I'm a little guy, you know.
No one's even caring what I doanyways, because no matter how
(12:45):
hard I work, I always get myheart broken.
You may not even audibly saythat, but it might be inside of
the soul.
So you project it out.
A lot of things that peopledon't say is projected out even
when people don't even know whoyou are.
It could be sitting in a coffeeshop.
Somebody looks and they're likeman, that guy doesn't.
The energy doesn't flowcorrectly.
(13:06):
That could be picked up withpeople.
So it's all about a choice ofhow.
The projection into the world,where absorption of the
manifestation of the aura yougive out there as being brought
back.
That's where it's like okay, Igotta get a better attitude to
have it.
Where more things happen in mylife.
(13:28):
It's another way of thinking.
Be resourceful.
Don't have it where it's likeoh, I'm just gonna be the way
I'm always.
You live in the United States orother countries that you know.
You got the internet.
I mean, if you're in a countrywhere there's no internet, like
North Korea or Cuba, you got aproblem.
Over here, you have theinternet.
You got stuff that you can lookon YouTube and watch on Spotify
(13:53):
for podcasts or listen to theobservation station.
You know, come on, I'm here tojust give a radical explanation
of my eyes to the world.
If you don't like it, I mean,there's billions of people.
Somebody's not gonna like it,but there are people that like
it.
That's why you're here.
So it's all about the choicesthat you make.
(14:17):
So, with that being said, it'sgonna be wrapping up this
episode of the observationstation.
Next episode, tune in, becauseit's gonna be what your airline
choices says about you.
All right, we'll take it easy.

(14:39):

Let's get this thing going.
