Watchers

i think i've finally realized that you never get ANYTHING done unless you prioritize that which is most important to you. ie, delegating time for your passions in life AFTER you've vacuumed every surface in your house, done your laundry, washed the dishes, paid your bills and worked an 8 hour shift just doesn't cut it.

unfortunately this is reality for like, 99% of everyone, which blows completely, but it is what it is: the rusty bear-trap of a broken system in which the vast majority grind out their lives just trying to get by, hoping on a dream.

anyways, I guess what i'm trying to say is keep on keeping on. if anything, promise yourself to set aside at least a little time EVERY day to do what you love, and maybe, just maybe it will take you where you want to go.

here are some lovely websites that might get you stirred up, at least when it comes to art-making!

secrets i wish they taught in art school:

how to steal like an artist:

life is pretty f*cking short too. if you're not in the process of creating all the wonderful projects you dream about RIGHT EFFING NOW, you're probably never going to get to them. c'mon, seriously, you could get STEAMROLLED BY A BUS tomorrow or something, think about what you want to leave behind!

it doesn't hurt to involve your friends and family in your pursuits too :)

so get on it!

somewhat adrift in a society that feels alien, where everyone's chasing some "magical" thing called money and most folks forget to apologize for stepping on each others heads to get a little higher; in fact, these days it's encouraged!

gawd... i dunno. i feel pretty lost sometimes, but there's a lot of really cool, beautiful things in the world just waiting to be found. it's kind of like a treasure hunt :)

life will find a way!
