What's The Deal With....
19 years ago
Jerry Seinfeld once answered, when asked which episode of his television show was his favourite, that they were all his babies. The same amount of effort, creativity and love went into each one.
Taken out of context then it's easy to see that when you choose to do things you're passionate about the best way to do them is with that mindset of total dedication. I've heard people say before that they're passionate about something only to contradict that with a, "But..."
<.<
Relative to the above, I spoke to a guy last night who was concerned that he was reaching the point in his life where deciding on his career was becoming important. Taking a mate was becoming more important to him too. All of this was compounded by an inability to find comfort in the words of others.
I'm concerned about him, he's a really great guy. I have faith in him though, and I told him so. I've experienced similar voids where I was unable to deal with the expectations placed on my shoulders about career decisions, relationships and I felt as if the only person I could depend on was myself.
What's my point?
The best advice I was ever given was to identify my passions and hammer those fuckers away for as long as I could. That's what's gotten me by so far and I'll be damned if I'm wrong.
If this guy can just take what he loves and pour his heart and soul into it then I know he'll be just fine. Once you pass that initial wall into following your heart any others that follow will crumble before you. Sometimes it's immediate. Sometimes they take a while to go at with a hammer. Jerry Seinfeld knows that. I know that too.

On the side, I finally uploaded some of art onto FA and I'l really happy that I'm getting feedback on it. I appreciate the comments, the compliments and the watches. Thanks, everyone!
