I couldn't have said it any better. &qu...AMEN!! I couldn't have said it any better. "Our idea of what makes a 'celebrity' is really sad sometimes." AGREED! And the dictionary says celebrity is 'a celebrated person', I, being a semi-intelligent person, assume that means for doing something worthwhile or having some sort of talent besides making a sex tape or having huge T&A. But we all know what happens when we assume! <br /><br />That being said, and I do hate to sound all 'polly anna' about it, but I truly believe that if you stick it out (which I know you will) you will have all the success you desire and deserve. I believe it for myself as well. I have to, or I might as well dig a hole for myself and just die. Keep going!! Its not always easily seen but there is justice in this world and it will happen!! I'm pulling for us!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115376171981822622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101221094420086330.post-71666518706129181322011-01-14T12:55:56.678-05:002011-01-14T12:55:56.678-05:00"married, and struggling financially. Would I..."married, and struggling financially. Would I like to have children? Yes, I would. Will we have them? Probably not. Maybe not ever. You know why? Because we cannot afford kids. We barely make enough money to support ourselves, and to me, bringing a child into that environment purposely is irresponsible and selfish. I just don't feel comfortable doing it. It's called SACRIFICING and living a RESPONSIBLE LIFE."<br /><br />This is my situation as well. It is a source of sadness for me. I would like to be a parent to a child and pass on my values and what I have learned, but we cannot afford it. Purchasing a child, raising a child, college - all of that, we can't afford. I don't believe I should have kids unless I can give them a better life than I had.<br /><br />And amen to ALL of this. The longer I'm work as an indpendant artist - who doesn't get paid for most of the art I do - the more I try to support other independant artists like yourself in my work and in what I choose to purchase.<br /><br />I didn't have financial resources from my family. They weren't well off, and I also didn't get the same financial support my siblings got and continue to get because my family's religious zealotry and my being gay. I'm in my 30's still trying to pay off my student loans and credit card loans - the cost of not wanting to live in a religiously oppressive family home.<br /><br />But like you, I believe in my talent, and I work hard, and I HAVE to believe we will find success. <3Kevennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486285572947350715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101221094420086330.post-84243049839317011122011-01-13T23:58:00.012-05:002011-01-13T23:58:00.012-05:00"We glorify all of the wrong things in this c..."We glorify all of the wrong things in this country. We focus on all of the wrong people." <br /><br />AMEN to that! AMEN to this whole post. Talent isn't respected in this country anymore. I watch old TV shows on YouTube and wonder why talent like that can't be displayed today. Why do I have to live in a time where the heroes of the world are reality TV stars? Do the majority of Americans really not aspire to do anything great with their lives anymore? What are people getting out of these shows?<br /><br />It's baffling, frustrating, and embarrassing.

I have not understood these reality shows, although I just stumbled on one that I find fun, You're Cut Off. Why do I like it, because these spoiled brats get their come uppance. I'm new to it and don't know if any of last years parlayed their stint into more fame, but I doubt it.<br />You are very talented and should be making it.

It's a sad world we live in. I'm already sick of Ted Williams and his honey voice. <br /><br />I admit, I had on Celebrity Rehab the other day (I enjoy others' struggles) and noticed something that made me sick (besides Janice Dickinson's face). It was when they show a person on the show, and they show the caption on the bottom of who they are and what they do, like, Eric Roberts - Actor.<br /><br />They then showed Rachel Uchitel - Tabloid Celebrity.<br /><br />Good times.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325141473394118600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101221094420086330.post-50218905266052806282011-01-13T19:00:34.519-05:002011-01-13T19:00:34.519-05:00All I can say is well said!All I can say is well said!Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17708962043075031148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101221094420086330.post-71792352795988822562011-01-13T18:30:11.270-05:002011-01-13T18:30:11.270-05:00Bhahahaha!!!

Also, I couldn't agree with you more on the celebrities for no reason thing.

Kelly, walk into an SNL show as one of your characters, while participating as an audience member, be loud weird and funny until they kick you out, and as you are being escorted out, throw a bunch of business cards at the audience with the dates of your stand up.Screenplay Shortshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195114219453009555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1101221094420086330.post-76901761846750525802011-01-13T17:50:20.281-05:002011-01-13T17:50:20.281-05:00You and I have talked about this many times before...You and I have talked about this many times before and I agree 100% After everything that has happened to you and me, we HAVE TO MAKE IT, otherwise God is a dick.........shit, God just told me I'm not making it, dammit!!
