motivation
i've been thinking about getting into capoeira (which i actually spelled right on the first try amazingly), to the point where i've started some of the beginning stretches and practicing the ginga. i need/like to get in better shape, and i've always had an interest in some of the more bizarre/interesting forms of martial arts (i considered studying mantis style kung fu, but it's not something i can afford. ESPECIALLY right now). the other reason i'm thinking of pursuing it is this:
i don't find exercise fun. its not an easy thing to say because it makes me sound like a lazy asshole, but it's true. i'm sure there's some concept or element i'm just not grasping that is making me thing it's boring as hell. and a lot of things that i am pursuing (like everything art-related) take up a lot of time. so while i know more exercise will better me physically, my mind is more easily convinced i should work on stuff to better my career.
which isn't to say i'm quitting. i'm just taking a break from drawing (appropriately enough) to bitch for a minute....
