By the way, a tip. Screw warm milk, it doesn't work. Know what works? Wine. Wine works.
Except I have a headache this morning. And I'm still sleepy. Get back to work, soldier! I keep thinking I hear Bruce. This is. Not good. Oh! Oh. Okay. Are you passionate about anything? I mean, really. Don't say "Dave Foley" or "my girlfriend" or "going to concerts by xxxxxxx" or "sitting on my ass watching tv". I mean, really. Think about it and give it some careful thought. Like, if you write blank verse, or draw comics, or teach kindergarteners how to read, or you're in a comedy troupe, or you wake up every morning dreaming about welding something, and it's what you think about in the off-hours, and maybe it's what gets you out of bed in the morning, and it occupies a good deal of your free time and thought-- or maybe, you lucky bastard, it's your occupation-- then I want to know about it. But only tell me if you're sure you're passionate about it. I want to know, just, because I was thinking last night about how I'm not passionate about anything, really, and it bothers me. So I want to see what other people are passionate about. Maybe I'll get an idea and become passionate about something. |
