Just because you can do anything doesn’t mean you can do everything.
It’s advice that’s helped me stay on track, and not feel ‘guilty’ for the things I don’t do. We must pick and choose our projects, in reality. We have to learn (yawn) time management.
I know this. True enough, I’m a artist. I’m my own boss. It has its obvious advantages.
If I get a cold, or a case of the ‘fuck-it’s’ or get completely caught up in, for instance, Stephen’s King Under the Dome (highly recommended) I can take the time. I alone am responsible for the consequences.
But when I’m at the top of my game as an artist, I behave as a well-compensated executive for a company I adore. You can call this a mental trick and perhaps it is. Self-motivation is difficult and I’ll take all the help I can get. Try it, if you haven’t.
It’s sort of like playing chess with yourself, in that you must switch roles. It’s also very informative. Neatness counts. Presentation counts. What sort of employee review would you give yourself? Not to mention that a job well done is very rewarding.

I like staying back to help students with their assignments and no they don’t pay me extra. Some sort of compensation would have been nice. I really can’t complaint much. I never expected to be back at SP well not as a Lecturer that is.
It’s not easy being my student. I know I can drone on for hours. And I have.
I just got so much to say. I guess it’s because I don’t really talk to anyone about anything much.

A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.

I just watched Avatar for the fourth time today.
I haven’t been awestruck by a movie since LOTR : ROTK.
Simply Beautiful.
One can only speculate what new wonders modern man can conjure up onto the silver screen.

As I lay on my back staring into the darkness, I tried to dream.
Dream of our lives together.
I just couldn’t.
Sigh…

I feel… I feel like…
Who cares what we feel like?
Whose got the time anymore.

I hate you so for what you done to me
Made me fall in love with no security
I gotta move on
move on with my life
But it’s so hard when you’re still on my mind
