This is sound advice. Using Eminem or Madonna as examples of people that have "made it" without going the traditional route of education and hard work (and you better believe those mother fuckers worked their asses off, nothing ever falls into your lap) is really not relevant. That's like telling a college athlete that he should guarantee himself a role in professional sports that will garner him a massive paycheck, and to forget about class because it's secondary and he; now here is the key, doesn't need a backup plan.

It doesn't matter whether you have a unique talent or an acquired skill, you need to market yourself properly no matter what. The difference between marketing the skills you obtain through solid education and the unique talents that one may have is that the public is fickle. Is your unique talent really marketable? If it's something such as being in the entertainment industry, it might not matter how good you are at it. If people don't want to pay for, they won't, and you can't make them, no matter how hard you try.

That being said, some more real-life examples may be that of a graphic designer, or even an *gasp* entertainer. Put your heart and soul into what you love, but keep half of your chips tucked in your pocket to play when "the man" comes around, as sustaining yourself and showing that you can thrive in any environment is probably the most marketable skill you can have as an individual.

Now enough of this bullshit, let's get fucked up.

This Friday I was invited out to a cock-tail party hosted by one of the clients I do work for (a popular Toronto magazine). It was fucking amazing! It was a cocktail party but the idea was that there was drinks from all over the fucking world. They had some crazy indian fermented shit, sake, and middle eastern stuff (I think something from Israel too). They had people in little carts driving around the room with drinks from every country (there were tables set up in the middle and the carts came around, it was a dress-up event) and also a reduced price bar and it was fucking jawesome. There were a lot of hot lesbians there as well whoring it up for the photographers there trying to pimp themselves out to designers like me who could get them work. I got really fucked up on drinks I couldn't even pronounce. I also had Moosehead, which is my favorite beer.

I've been invited to a party next week from a big stock-photography company that's being co-thrown by Playboy. THAT should be awesome. It's halloween though so I'm going to have to dress-up as something.

You need atleast a college diploma in graphic design or something involving traditional art to be considered for most design positions these days.

Are you planning to have kids or a wife or anything (or do you now?). I know you said in the work thread that you're content living off of minimum wage forever but I'm curious to know if you actually have any plans. I'm just wondering this because shit happens. Maybe your mom will get sick and you have to pay for medical bills, and maybe drugs your insurance doesn't cover. So now you have to watch your mom die slowly because you don't have the money to pay for her care. That's the kind of shit I worry about, I want my family, and maybe if I'm ever well-off enough my friends, to be okay.

Don't take this as an insult on your lifestyle. You can do whatever you want but I'm just wondering.

Rest assured, if we ever met in real life, three things would happen: 1). You'll be unrecognizable, 2). You'll no longer be a functioning member of society, and 3). you'll be unable to reproduce.

Unless, of course, you're a girl. In that case, I'll ignore you. I don't hit women.

To the people who didn't like me, but were respectful, and/or just didn't care or ignored me:

Thanks. I'm serious. To paraphrase the old nursery school adage... not saying anything is better than being an assfuck.

To the few that actually liked me (don't raise your hand, whatever you do): Thanks. We ever meet in real life, I'm buying you a drink of your choice and shake your hand like a man. Keep kicking names and taking ass.

Now, to dispell all bullshit...

1). Drunk off a 375 ML bottle of Jacky D and whittling down a bottle of Jager, same size.

2). Fuck attention getting. I don't need your fucking attention. This is my first return since I said goodbye. Well, that's not entirely true. I stuck around long enough to see that somebody said that I didn't cut myself deep enough, and it was attention getting... well, whoever you were...

This used to be a pic of Kev's scrotum. -mgmt

3). I'm out. Someday I'll probably come back to this thread to reiterate the points made to day. However, I don't care what you think. Unless you're one of the group that fell in the "I actually thought you were a decent guy" realm. In that case, Aphex Twin: I care because you do.

Piece like an RPG. And I don't mean Final Fantasy.

I get shit on way more around here and don't take it .0001/10th as hard as you seem to. It's THE INTERNET. Stop caring for fucks sake.

I'm married, and there will be no kids. I'm not content to live off minimum wage, but I am content to live off of significantly less than most people. Honestly, I've been rich and I've been poor, and I'm happier now than when I had tons of money. :/

I'd always worry that if my wife was ill I wouldn't be able to help her, or maybe if I got hurt and couldn't work we'd be miserable living on canned beans. Or if something happened and we were out on the street (like, say, some kind of crash like in the 30's) I wouldn't be able to help the people I love outside of maybe a few cents here and there.

I know a lot of people that think like you. A lot of my good friends in fact, and I get along with them just fine. I don't think spending money frivolously is going to make anybody happier, but having peace of mind is priceless. Anyway I'm going to drop it because the thread isn't about financial talk, it's about fucking yourself up on stuff that shouldn't be in you.

Well, that's part of the lifestyle; you have to learn to not worry so much. Everything gets taken care of as it comes.

And I'm fortunate enough to have an awesome family.

Like I said, though, the effect wore off quick once I took a break from the momentum I had built up, and now I just feel sluggish and numb. It could be that this is my first time, but my adderall adventure turned out somewhat disappointing. I certainly don't expect it to change my life or anything drastic, but I thought if it could help, it's worth a try so long as I don't become dependent on it.

Sorry, I'm not trying to turn this thread into a My First Time scrapbook or a livejournal entry. I guess I'm just trying to bait some adderall discussion from members here who have done it, as I'm pretty uneducated on the subject and am interested in what you guys' opinions are on the "drug."

Wired for 30 minutes? Adderall is usually a 5-6 hour thing. I'm assuming you ate it, because the effects seem to be much more conducive to studying when eating, and alot less noticeable. When I sniff it, however, I wind up talking politics or philosophy for the entire time I'm tweaked, and I love it when someone else has also railed it and we spend 1/4 of a day talking bullshit as opposed to studying. Also, how much did you do? When I do Adderall, I usually rail a 20mg, then split 2 or 3 more throughout the rest of the night and I get tweaked as shit, and I love it.

One day I did Adderall with a paper to write, though, and played solitaire for 6 hours. Bad time. I've found that if I'm going to actually do work with it, it's best to simply eat a single pill and lock myself in my room.
