...work may be your life, but it certainly isnt mine...
I said life is work.I didn't say work is life.There's a difference.If you don't see it,ask your grammar teacher.Or mom,dad,friend,cousin,whoever.And that is not an insult.Everybody asks about stuff they don't understand.
...By all means, "Work" is definitely not playing guitar...
Playing the guitar is not work.Fine.But making money out of playing guitar is work.Again I'm not trying to be cryptic.
..."You'll have to sweat it" oh c'mon man, i've already sweated it...
If you've already sweated it out,then why are you saying you slack off?Or I'm I the one who isn't getting it this time?Doesn't slack off mean not finish your work,not do it well,generally bored by work,stuff like that?
And now,incidents;
This may not mean sh!t to you,but there're lots of people who wish they were in your shoes.You probably read about these things in CNN or from UN reports,but a lot of people where I'm from(Sub saharan africa)earn under a dollar a day.And they're not 14 yr olds schoolkids with able parent and all,they are men and women with families.You say that in America,14 yrs is the youngest you're allowed to work.Here in Kenya,finding work at
any age is a problem.
Live your life.If work is boring you,fine.Your life is all about you.Live it like you wanna.You have the freedom.But next time you feel like slacking off,think about the people who'd want to be like you.So fine,even if you don't slack off,it doesn't help them.Fine.But let that thought tip toe thro your mind.Learn to appreciate what you got.
BTW,I envy you.Your guitars and stuff,ie.Coz all I got is an acoustic I bought for the equivalent of about 50$,so you can imagine how good it's quality is and all.But I'll get more stuff.In due course.
Posts like these make me feel old.I'm 23,going to 24 next feb.Maybe I
am growing up.
