you could always get a job.

you could always get a job.

If I could attain and KEEP one, don't you think that is where I would be right now?
Instead of half-starving, going from overdraft-to-overdraft every month?

Do you envy disabled people or something?
I am just wondering how thick-headed and insensitive you are.

weather you think you can, or think you can't.
you are always right.

weather you think you can, or think you can't.
you are always right.

While I am fairly confident that I can fake my way through an interview, I also know it is only a matter of time before reality catches up with me and I am fired because I am unable to do the job.

I tried going back to college.
Since I am not really qualified for much of anything.

But, I simply could not do it any more.
I had anxiety attacks in class and had to leave.

Subsequently, the student loans were forgiven for medical reasons.
Although, I have to send them copies of my W-2's to show that I am not working in any significant capacity.

you are always right.

How are you going to be an artist and perform?

so that's your disability?
you're anxious?

How are you going to be an artist and perform?

Well, at least as an artist I can work on my own terms.
If there is something I cannot do, I don't.
If there is something I have to do, I do it.
That's not an option if I have a day job.

I was having physical problems as early as 1999, and my employer tried to work with me...at first.
But, eventually, they didn't want to deal with it anymore and tried to find any lame excuse to get rid of me.
I was fired in 2005.
The supervisor even perjured himself at my unemployment hearing, when they tried to deny my benefits.
The judge caught him lying and didn't even care.

weather you think you can, or think you can't.
you are always right.

How are you going to be an artist and perform?

Well, if he is unable to perform as a musician he could always do something none musical...... like Rap.

so that's your disability?
you're anxious?

No, my disability is the combination of CVI (Chronic Vascular Insufficiency) throughout my body, with severe depression and Avoidant Personality Disorder.
Anxiety is just a symptom.
If it were just ONE thing, it might be manageable.
But, the combination is killing me.

so your a nervous wreck!~~

your sh*t scared of life that's all.

well it can be scary.
but Id rather be scared than dead.
and brother your the deadest thing I ever met that wasn't being lowered in the ground.

Let me jot your name in this little book...

well If you can kick my ass you can work a full time job.

If you're hiring, I'll apply.
All you can say is "no".

scotty?

stoop to being a pipefitter?
even at $38 an hr I didn't think you could endure the scorn.

Stoop?

No, music is what I do when I'm having fun.

Very few of us get to have fun and make money, all the rest go to work full time and finding a good full time job is like winning the lottery. "It doesn't happen for everyone, all the time".

Even working in the studio is no fun if you work for people that don't share your vision or your work ethic, because they make it more painful than it needs to be and the world is full of Chiefs, but very few Indians, no offense intended.

On stage I might be a Chief, but in real life I am an Indian and that's ok by me to the extent that things don't get ridiculous.

I worry just as much or more than the rest because I don't have a crystal ball, nor know the future and the ability to do the job at hand doesn't guarantee anything at all. You could be the best and most prolific writer, that doesn't mean much to the powers that be.

They don't even want to employ you but P/T, because that's all they need is a few hours here and a few hours there to repair some crap a lacking writer brings to the table.

Seems like there is always a greasy fat guy wanting to stick his fingers in your freshly created concoction du jour and you know that's like pouring 10w-40 on a freshly baked blueberry pie..ruined.

I know your pumping sarcasm on here, but that's the way it is.
You want to be a comedian? I get it, but do you? I don't think you do.

Life is full of tradeoffs, you might be on the weak side musically but you have nice job et cetera. You should be thankful for what you have and not be a jerk about it.

I am on the convex, and although I am always working to hone my craft, I don't ignore the basic realities of life just like I don't allow myself to get pumped about things that aren't real like grandeur.

I'll breathe easier when and if I ever get to the pinnacle.
Meanwhile, you'll do quite well, live very comfortably and I'll envy every minute of it because my moments in the sun are temporary thus far.

A bird in hand is worth 10 in the bush, not just 2 but you knew that already and if you didn't, you are either a dullard or a fool.
