I gotta say, I gave up on doing what I love when I realized I just couldn't make a living at it. I went back to 3d graphics because it's what I can make a living doing. I guess my spirit was crushed a little becasue I accepted that I have to do this because of the money I make at it and I figure that if I do for long enough to get the capital to allow me to do something else. then I can go do something where I make less money but enjoy myself more. I think everyone dreams of having their own little tiki establishment around here. I'm just trying to figure out what I have to do to get the capital for that.

I talked to this female pin up artist awhile back and she was telling me about when she gave up her job as a graphic designer and started painting pin up girls on bowling pins. She's actually kind of making a name for herself now but still doesn't make half what she used to make, but she loves what she does so it doesn't matter.

I have total respect and admiration for people who find a way to amke a living doing what they love. For most of us what we love is an escape from what we have to do to get by.

By the way, my DSL is up, I"M BACK!!!
