Crap! Split motivation!

God damn it!

For the past day or so I’ve been super-motivated to work on this model I’ve had on the backburner at home for the past three months. I’m getting hyper-motivated to work on it again, and to continue in my quest to master art, but I’m already neck-deep in books and other learning, and I don’t think I have the time to devote to mastering the two subjects at once. I wish I could clone myself and combine the knowledge my clones acquire.

So MUCH to do, and so little time to do it. I’ve probably only got another 50 to 60 years left to live, and perhaps as little as three years to do everything I’m planning right now. I wish I didn’t have to sleep, either. Ah well, working within these limits is half the challenge!

I found out the details of my new job yesterday. I’m going to be spending most mornings poring over a database of industry contacts and possible job leads and trying to get them interested in my company and get them on the phone. Should be interesting. I’ll be doing it on a probationary basis for 60 days with the goal of scheduling 15 meetings. At the end of the 60 days, if I did it, kick ass and still want to, they’ll hire me on full time to do it and I won’t be doing art for work anymore.

Interesting opportunity, to say the least. I usually don’t have any trouble rising to challenges but most of the challenge is external, so that might be a challenge.

On a more mundane note, I saw Hellboy last night and it was pretty kickass. Great special effects, characters, story, action and pacing. I’m a bit of a fan of the comic book, and I can say that Hellboy is the most faithful comic book movie adaptation I’ve seen so far. I hope this movie is a massive success and they let the director and cast make more movies! I’ve been a fan of the director since Blade 2 and knew he’d move onto bigger and better projects from here.

That’s all I have for the moment. I’m trying to get into the habit of posting more often and refining my writing ability as I go along. I used to obsessively edit forum posts and emails for half an hour to an hour at a time until they were perfect, but that’s a silly waste of time so I’m learning to get it right the first time.

Oh. I made my blog public a couple days ago. I’m not sure if that will mean increased traffic or what – I couldn’t even measure that if I wanted – but I guess it’s one step closer to putting myself out into the public. Before, only two people knew I had a blog at all. Not even Dea, my fiancee, had any idea until this week. heh

Anyway, that’s all.
