Coming back from my recent trip to New York and working in a dead end job that I terribly dislike has got me more motivated

than ever to pursue my dreams and my art. Doing mindless work for hours on end made me realize how much I love to create

and how much I would give up ($10/hour) to do what truly makes me happy. I am going to really apply myself and work hard and

make something of my talents and my life. The truth is that I'm young and sometimes impulsive but always passionate and I don't

want to be that person who is always complaining about their work and how much they hate it but is still their because they feel

they "need" to be. I don't "need" to do anything. Like Morgan Freedman said in that one movie "the only thing I need to do is be

black and die" hahaha a little out of context for me but you get the picture...

So with this post I inform everyone (all 3 people who read my blog) that I am no longer working at that store, which will go

unnamed, and I have several artistic opportunities lined up in my very near future.


I love life too much to be scared of it

my hearts a mess
I won't admit to it
It makes no sense
but I'm desperate to connect
and I can't live like this

THE BIG SLEEP

I just finished watching The Big Sleep (thanks to netflix!) which is one of my favorite books because its by Raymond Chandler and even more because it takes place in Los Angeles. The entire time all I could focus on is how beautiful Humphrey Bogart's co-star was. She's so gorgeous that you forget about the movie and just look at her face. And that voice.



I decided to look her up, Lauren Bacall, and she actually ended up marrying Humphrey Bogart and even further WE HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY.



I'm not sure what the significance of that is, but I know I like it :)
