There's A Chance We Can Make It Now

It seems the people who get the most attention for their artwork, or those who have the most liked artwork, are the ones who do not do realistic art, but in realistic situations.
Does that make sense?
FOR INSTANCE - Draw a picture of a man, talking with his brother while sitting on a porch smoking.  Does it look like a couple real people sitting, talking together?  Then it's no good.  If you draw them like cartoon characters doing this, well heck!  Then it becomes hilarious!
Take a picture of a girl.  NOW, take a picture of a girl standing in her underwear while waiting for the bus.
GENIUS you say.
Psha.

I take a small amount of comfort in the fact that I don't have to be awake till noon tomorrow, and that's only to go to work at 1 for a couple hours.  I like the fact that I can schedule my day BASICALLY how I see fit.
What I don't like is the fact that I rely on my parents for shelter, food, and a couple luxuries.
Is making 8 dollars an hour the greatest job in the world?  Nope.  Sure isn't.  BUT, is it the worst?  Nope.
What is the opportunity cost of working more and getting paid more?  Living less, probably.  If by living you mean the time spent in between sleeping and working, than definitely!

I've been thinking a lot about relationships lately, and I've wanted to post about it for a while.  So long, in fact, that I can't remember exactly what it is that made me want to post about them.  All I know is that human relationships are pretty amazing.  The fact that we, as humans, make these..."connections" with other humans, for almost no reason in the long run.  These connections come in many different shapes and sizes.  Some connections are made simply because of proximity, or frequent interaction.  Many of us view the connections we have to family as such.  Some connections are made due to mutual interest.  Some because of attraction, whether physical or otherwise doesn't matter.  Just some form of attraction.
It's also surprising the speed at which some connections develop, slow or fast, and how quickly they can also disappear, and why.

All very fascinating.
What connections matter?
I dunno.  You tell me!

Just listen to the rhythm of my heart ~
