You guys work so you can fund what you like to do, your own projects. It's in a similar medium, but still I doubt your hobby is making ad campaigns for companies. Your hobby is making films, your own films. It's like a guy who loves antiques. He loves collecting them and then decides to sell them. He opens his own antique shop and a year down the road realizes he no longer WANTS to go to antique shows, he HAS to and his hobby has become a choir. If you however, have other hobbies which allow you to escape the work you do everyday, then you're golden. The goal is to have something that separates you and your loves from work. I will go check out that book though. I'm in a knowledge consuming phase. Must have more! I think your situation is a little different, Rick.

I like this quote better, from Alan Watts: "Sensible people get paid for playing-- that is the art of life." Zach, I think you might like to read "The Way of Liberation" by Alan Watts. I was lucky enough to receive it as a gift. Congratulations on your epiphany!

Very funny. :) No, didn't know about the road trip. Ever since I moved to TX, I'm not as much in the know. So just Kai went? Where's Raj? Yikes, credit card trips always leave a bad taste in my mouth. I know I'm gonna pay for it later... literally. But if you had fun, it's all worth it! Nice tat. Very funny. :)

I thought you knew about this? My parents, Kai and I left on June 18th. My dad and Kai headed home six days later after our visit to Yellowstone and my mother and I continued on to Montana. We've been on the road ever since, and the last day of the road trip will be Aug 22nd. I've been doing a photo journal on my blog if you want to see all the places we been to. It's been a blast, but I've run out of money, so we're currently surviving on my mom's credit cards, LOL. I'll have to pay her back once my student loan check comes in O_o. http://jesushighforthegayguy.blogspot.com/2010/06/day-306-calico.html Here’s the link to my blog entry about my tattoo, which has a picture of it:

YOU got a tattoo? Of what? Road Trip from where to where? And yes, it is NEVER enough my friend. Many people think I've done a lot in my almost thirty years, but I feel I should've accomplished so much more and still have so much more to do. Really? YOU got a tattoo? Of what?

I got my first tattoo earlier this year, but I want more. I'm on a crazy road trip right now, but it was completely scheduled and I would still like to do one with no predetermined destination. I've written and published a book, but I want to do a full length novel. I'm up to about 220 pages right now. It seems like no matter how much you accomplish, you always want to do more, but that's a good thing right? It's good to have goals! :-) I like all those goals.
