Counting
As I was driving to work this morning I passed a woman selling tamales on the corner, a person dancing around with a sign for pizza, another guy sitting on a bench with a sign for a group called Community Committee and part of me was so jealous. It could be that it's possible they are getting paid just as much as I am and that guy could have been listening to a book on tape, his favorite band or relaxation techniques.
I'm starting to get the eternal student syndrome, where I just don't want to stop learning things. I'd prefer to learn the practical though. How to really use the Adobe Suite, hit up culinary school, go to art school, take photography classes again. Just learn about stuff that isn't mandatory. In the meantime the daily grind is coming to a fork in the road. The whole summer has been packed full writing, planning, producing, promoting, like it's a never ending cycle. All for a tv station that doesn't entirely know what who it is yet. It's BYUtv but it's not a university channel except that they focus on the sports. They broadcast all over the inhabited world.
Really I've been pulling my hair out trying to find a way to market the comedy sketch show my best friend is in that is supposed to premiere in October. For some reason my knuckles get white thinking about it. Somehow it needs to succeed for me, to understand that there are still enough decent people out there that care about originality.
On a similar note, we want to start our own talk show. The trouble is, whenever I see those guys on screen or on stage at the studio, making everybody laugh in front of the cameras, a little part of me shrivels up because I know I'm sitting just watching. I need to do something better. Music is slowly starting to go away, which is insane knowing how much of my life I have already slaved for it. Maybe somehow we could work it into the talk show...
I'm also tired of hearing about Obama and Romney, and I'm really tired of people who are only interested in the value of democracy as long as people are voting for what they think is right. The country has stopped voting for itself and I wonder if that's how it was when it started out. Are we supposed to vote for what we want or for what we want for other people? If it's the first can we ever escape selfishness and if it's the latter are we giving those people two votes for one vote? Were sympathy and empathy ever factored into the design for democracy.
Also, Wendy's baconator is bugging me. The Terminator terminates... The baconator...
They're just riding toughness coat tails.
