Someone I know was just asked to join a very awesome band that just got signed to a major indie label. There is a potential 6 month tour of the country involved. They're balking because they have a great job that makes a shit ton of money at the moment.. A job that would possibly be lost if they go.
I'm Screaming, "GO! GO NOW!! THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME!!"
I feel like that's good advice.. But It gets me thinking about all the hopes I had for the music industry.. My step-dad has offered many, many times for me to start booking his and other bands for a 10% cut, which-- if I get good and get my contacts right, could be VERY lucrative. But the amount of time & effort involved in establishing that base is something I couldn't work a day job and do. Plus I think it could make me happy. The booking agents I know personally make THOUSANDS of dollars a week. Have HUGE houses, great cars, etc..
I just know that working in any industry other than the entertainment industry would make me nuts. I'm absolutely lucky to have found the job I have now, but there's no chance for moving up in the company. No chance for more money. And while I don't necessarily do it for the money, it would be nice to be financially stable without worry. |

If you ask me who I envy, I won't say the women with perfect bodies or skin.. I wont say the supermodels make me jealous.
I envy the ruggedly beautiful women. ...the women who can be unshowered, no makeup, hairy, wearing big frumpy sweaters, uncombed and natural.
The girls who have little bellies, scars, imperfect teeth...
But they're striking and when you look at them, you feel drawn to them.
I envy that simple beauty. |

I have almost cried like 234 times today. For stupid reasons. I have got to be on a hormone explosion.
What the fuck, this is irritating.
I feel like i need just one good cleansing cry or something, jeeeesus. |
