What should I be when I grow up?

2010.03.13

‘I wanna rock! Rock!’

Current mood: Confused

I need to get my act together, and find out what I want to do for a living (I almost wrote ‘for the rest of my life’ there). First I should find something fun to do like an hour or two, twice a week maybe, to get the old machinery working and stuff. The problem is, it has to feel worthwhile for me, so I was thinking maybe a pet shop. That may be suitable.

But then what? I wanted to become a movie maker once upon a time, but I don’t think I could handle such a stressful job. If I could draw, I would do some animated little short films. But I can’t draw so, no go. If I weren’t so lazy, I could learn HTML, PHP, CSS and Flash to do web sites. Writing? I’m not as good as I want to be, and seem to get in the mood to practise very seldom.

The thing with me is.. I get bored too easy, I give up too easy. So maybe I need to learn how to draw. Let’s say I practise half an hour a day. Then a half hour could be devoted to building web sites and another half hour to writing, or maybe more for those things I have more patience with.

I got really inspired by this video (I will post it at the end of this entry), and I’ve been inspired before to do animating. Like one very big influence on me would be Darren Hayes’  ‘This Delicate Film We’ve made’. Or technically, Richard Cullen animated most of those videos. But anyway, that’s the kind of animation I want to do. For maybe music videos. Yeah, music videos sounds good.

I have no clue where to start..
