Day 03

i checkup my last year's total hits.
3000+

how the fuck am i goin to beat that
this year?
almost seem impossible. eventhough
all the marketing effort i've done.
average hit perday is round 40+.
that equals to 40x30.... =
1200! that's not even half.
damn.

ahem.
hits are not important.
the art and spirit is what counts.

anyway,
met 2 friends today to discuss some
project. they have day jobs. good pay.
but not what they really want.
or let's put it this way, they simply
don't care anymore. they have commitments.
car. house. wife. kids. etc+
so, they just work. no question ask.
ambition? fuck ambition. don't even
blurp that word out infront of them.
but nice people. and talented too.

they knew what i was doin.
i was like a small joke to them.
but yet, they admire the passion.
i even encourage them to try.
and i was really surprised how hard
it is for them to even take out
1 month off of their lives.

on my way home, i suddenly realize how lucky
i am. maybe the breakup has a reason.
maybe all the fuckup jobs has a reason.
maybe all the failed attempts of relationship has a reason.
maybe, i am made to do this.
just maybe.

i heard from someone, that the economy's
gonna fall next year. all the signs are there.
the war. the petrol prices.

sigh. maybe by then, i fail
to find a job also has a reason to it.

just maybe this angel gonna save us all:




just maybe.

i dedicate this song to all striving artist out there:

"Save Your Day" - Jose Gonzalez

Poke the body with a stick roll it down
Ignore the moaning as it tumbles to the ground
Be brave and save your day
These days are cold
Numbers rule I've been told
The pattern is clear better fit in the mould
Be brave and save your day
To cough up sympathy isn't hard but it costs
Hold tight to your life savings
You have to do what you must
To save your day
So poke the body and roll it down
The grave looks cold but we're still young

No offense...but i've been watching this 30 day artist thing since it started...I still believe this just screams "marketing stunt" in every possible form.

Maybe my math is wrong.. but you said your hit count was 3000 + last year, and this year @ average 40 per day at 30 days per month at 12 months per year = 14400 + for year (if you maintain 40 plus per day )?

..."white is always good."

you're being sarcastic, right?

red, i was stating 3000+ hits of my "August" run last year. not the entire year.

sarcastic... hmm.. just wait and see...
