Just a cool little story...

I created a facebook account a while ago and thought it might be a good way to get in touch with some old friends, roommates, etc... and one of the guys that I missed the most was a roomate that I had for three years named James T. Sale out of Washington DC. We had lots of good times together and were in a band together (he was drums, I was keyboard) and he had always talked about Stewart Copeland and composing music for films. Keep in mind this was the late 80's and he was at University of Delaware with me, not Juliard, or anything and that was a kind of bizarre career dream. So, we get in touch a few days ago and he tells me that he is in fact doing stuff for TV and films and is modest when I ask if I would know anything that he's done. He says do a search on IMBD and it'll show some of the things he's worked on. Wow. I just thought it was exceptionally cool that he was successful in what he wanted to do and that he's a friend of mine.

My drive for any kind of success is basically fueled by the desire to show up anyone and everyone from my past, friend or not.

That being said, congrats to your old roomie.

That's very awesome. It's always nice to see some one doing what they always wanted to.

Cool story, I bet he didn't expect to compose a few game music also back then.

And not for the sense of accomplishment doing something with your life brings.

This really is pretty cool, props to him.

That's awesome. Kinda cool to see that both of you have contibuted to the video gaming industry, only on somewhat opposite spectrums.

Good for your friend, that's pretty impressive!!

Yeah, hearing stuff like this is cool, if not only to remind yourself that it really IS possible to make a living doing something you love.

That's not true if you love VHS tapes.
