Welcome to my Cloud of Chaos
Cloud of Chaos was born from a visit to the Tremont Tea Room. I went there to consult a psychic about questions existential with hopes he could help me find some sort of clue. Yes, I saw a psychic, get over it. Among other things, the psychic told me that from a center of relative calm I create a cloud of chaos around myself, like Pigpen’s cloud of dirt. Well, just as Pigpen was mighty proud of his filth, I decided to embrace my cloud of chaos as a good thing. To paraphrase a certain fruit salesman: it’s a feature, not a bug.
You see, most creative thinkers rarely get from point A to point E via B, C and D. It’s more likely they’ll get there via point K with a stopover at point X after a tangential run to the third moon of Jupiter. My point being that sitting with a chaotic cloud of cerebral detritus swirling around me is the perfect vantage point from which to view all manner of intriguing things, pull them out of the cloud for examination, and use them in combination or on their own to create new things various, magnificent, trivial, frightening or glorious.
It is my intention with this blog to share with you the products of my cloud of chaos, my crucible of creativity if you will. It is my hope that you will find some of it interesting at least, and perhaps even a little bit beautiful.

My name is Angela Eloise and I am a freelance writer. That sounds as if I am copping to an addiction. I am. In addition to writing this blog, I also write a column about social media and I am at work on a series of essays that I hope to see in print some day. Cloud of Chaos was born from my desire to dance with the absurdity of life, to create a space where I could write and share all of the gorgeous, fun, snarky deliciousness I find spinning around me every day. What does a spinning cloud of chaos have to do with writing? Everything, as it turns out.
