So much as been going on in my life lately, I have greatly neglected my blog!
Late September/early October has proven to be very fruitful. There are so many new opportunities on the horizon and 2010 looks like it's going to be even more beautiful than 2009.
Yet there's something that's really been bothering me as of late .....
I've been working extremely hard at all this since I was 18 years old. Nothing has ever come "over night" or in just a week, month, or even a year. In order to have any level of success, you have to make certain sacrifices. This means not always going out on Friday night, not going to every show, not getting to see friends/family a lot, and NOT spending money on bullshit.
It seems I keep running into these would be participants of the "horror business" who have NO concept of commitment, sacrifice, or endurance. They want things to just fall into their lap in a week. When that plan inevitably folds ... so do they.
And these are the same people who will bitch, whine, and complain when YOU get something that they didn't. I don't know how many times someone has asked how I got to do this or that - only to act surprised when I tell them that I WORKED for it.
So it's like this: The horror business (or the "art" business in general) is not for everyone. Sometimes you have to take a little dip in to see if it's right for you ... and there's nothing wrong with that. What's wrong is KNOWING that you have no intention of doing what you've set out to do, yet still continue to ride the coattails of everyone around you.
It's brutal out there and you really need to be in this for the right reasons. Otherwise your just going to end up pissed off that you spent that much time on something you've grown to hate.
If there's one common theme to this blog it's DO WHAT MAKES YOU FUCKING HAPPY. Seriously if being a stay at home mom fills you with joy .. do it. If you want to work your way up the corporate ladder ... clime away. If living in the the middle of nowhere and never talking to a single soul ever again makes you feel at peace .... nothing is stopping you.
But whatever it is, you're gonna have to work for it too.
Deal with it.
It's called life.
STAY DEAD!
