skort's state of the union address

you know... almost everyone i know is into some kind of artistic career, from writing, to film making, to photography, to acting, to music. every one of my friends has an interest and a passion in the arts. and of all the people i know well enough, there are only two i can think of who are actually chasing that dream.

one of my friends is currently at vancouver film school. she just got a scholarship to continue her studies in 3D computer modelling and is good enough to end up getting a job with Pixar or Dreamworks.

another of my friends plays in 2 bands, one for which he is the drummer and the other, he sings and plays guitar. he overcame huge nervousness to get up on stage and sing at the age of 29 when he had never done it before. both bands are playing a concert benefit tomorrow night for cancer.

although i am proud of all of my friends, you two are inspiring and every time i freak out about my own future and whether or not i'm gonna be alright, i think about you guys and the balls you got. thanks you guys.

i've sacrificed a lot to walk away from abalone designs, but i would have had to sacrifice a lot more to stay.
