My one and only Rant (I Hope)

I kind of feel this is a necessary post.

Let me just start off by saying I don't bullsh*t, anyone who knows me can attest to that. I am an open book, honest, sometimes too honest. I feel there is no need to lie because when all is said and done you will get caught. But anyway let me get to my point. I've noticed a very f*cked up pattern in the last few months. People that I consider my creative counterparts, people that truly get what I am doing have pretty much let me down. No scratch that, not let me down....surprised me and not in a good way. They talk alot, about doing things and getting out of where they are in life, basically to make something of themselves. Yet I see them do nothing, there is no ambition, no enthusiasm coming from them whatsoever. It's like they've accepted their life as it is and just live. ---- Yet in the past 3 and half months or so I've managed to write about 6 scripts, ranging between 2 - 30 pages, on top of that I'm very close in completing my first feature script. So please tell me what the hell is your excuse? Mine is simple, lack of people around me who care about their future it seems, lack of people who have a love for what they do or what I do. Cause if I could essentially shoot, direct, light  AND act in the stuff I've written I could only imagine.....the thought of it just bothers me so much. This is why some folks just aren't worth my time, you talk and talk and talk yet you have nothing to really say, your boring, all flash and no substance. ----- Just something to think about I guess and I just really needed to vent. But then again this can be taken and applied to anything your passionate about in life. Don't wait around for anyone, don't expect others to follow you and be as excited about something as you are. DO NOT ALLOW OTHERS TO DICTATE YOUR LIFE. It's yours and no one can tell you how to live it. You have something your good at, then do it, practice it, work at it every damn day until you achieve your goals. If you think this is cliche then grow the fuck up. We have but one life to live and a short one at that. At the very least we can all live it doing what we are good at, what we love to do, at least that's what I like to think. OK, I'm done.

Take care everyone.....and thanks for listening to me rant. Good day.
