The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

Hell, I even did a talk about it with the brilliant Martin Weigel at Cannes.

But the chaos we were talking about wasn’t random stupidity.

An exercise in self destruction.

No, in our version of chaos, there is method to the madness … an attempt to make something more powerful than it would be otherwise. Something that resonates deeply with the audience we’re talking to rather than some superficial, passive relevance.

Basically, it is the opposite of this …

What the absolute fuck?

This was in a lift in Taipei years ago.

I remember walking in and thinking I was in an episode of Punked.

It took me 10 minutes and a severe headache to work out how to get to my floor. And then, that night, I was woken up by my room swinging side-to-side as we were having an earthquake.

I swear the reason I didn’t seek safety on the streets below was because the idea of getting back in that lift was too much for me to deal with.

I didn’t take the photo above … sadly, I lost my phone at the time, which meant I lost the image. But a friend recently sent me theirs, as a reminder of an experience even Tim Burton couldn’t conjure up.

I still wonder what the hell they were thinking.

And why they allowed it to stay that way for a while.

But regardless what it the reason, it ensures that however bad this week is for you, it’s not going to be as messed up or headache inducing as this.
