Yer Legacy?
Continuing on from that Miyazaki post... it got me thinking... NOW if yer a consumer whore that creates nothing original... or even a drone that creates copies of other things... now how will you be remembered by people in 20 years.... lets say I didn't do what I do and instead I just worked some normal job and bought all the newest gadgets... how would I be remembered??
"OH yeh hey remember that guy Mike? Oh yeh he bought all the newest gadgets oh yeh he always had the newest things and played with them he was so awesome because he was able to trade currency for all the newest tech stuff someone else made... he even waited in lines for them... yeh remember when he was all look at this ipad app I downloaded it does things and then it did things... yeh that was great.... oh yeh and he was on facebook all the time he left the best comments...I heard he was a level 70 paladin on warcraft too yeh he killed lots of monsters and stuff... what ever happened to him? I don't really give a fuck because there was a billion others like him... yeh what a forgettable human...I already forgot.."
AND SON ON 0_0 If you have teh passion you probably strive to break out of that shell... so DO IT!
My favorite people in the world are the people I've come across who create things... like my friend Ed in Salt Lake City... I met him years ago and haven't talked to him in a long time but I always wonder how he's doing and laugh in my head when I remember his animations cause he creates his own things and they tite ^ ^ Or my pal DarkshadoW... or Demonic Pascal or Dauragon or Andrew...I remember all these folks because of the things they created... your creations are like your stamp left behind in teh world... if you dont leave yer unique stamp for people to remember you by how are they supposed too?
You don't stand out by following... you stand out by leading with that little unique spark in your heart and following yourself by burning your soul for energy along the sometimes dark path... don't worry if yer being sincere you'll never run out of energy and you'll end up in a nice place ^ ^
Creating isn't just the traditional arts either... everyone can be a creator at whatever they do.... as long as they put they true unique selves into it... so don't be scurred... its better to try and fail then live with the regret of never trying AND you truly never fail you keep trying till you succeed...
If my new film is to be my first like success er whatever then I must have failed at film about 200 times up till now... experience at being yourself makes you stronger....
So go out there and create! I want to know and remember you all!!!Brought to you by professional weirdo M dot Strange.
