Yes, that is true in some cases. I've seen so many extremely talented people be totally ignored. But it's that way in many areas of life...many people who are deserving go unrecognized.

Some have the talent but choose to not persue it....I know a feller who is Soooooo talented....its unreal.....I have asked him on several occasions....Freddy....lets get your art out there....his response....I do it for the love of it....money has nothing to do with it and I believe every word...he lives so humble....its actually humbling to come into his home and sit with him.....gifted to the max,,,,soooo talented but thats as far as he takes it......I respect him and his decision to live the way that keeps him content......I was always business driven.....I saw fred making hundreds of thousands.....he just saw art!

That's why my hobbies are hobbies.. at the point it become a major project/business venture it wouldn't be the same.. or anywhere near stress-free or relaxing.. from advertising to getting my name out, product(s) out, keeping it all sane, copyright/trademarks.. and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I'm like George Carlin was, I have interests, not hobbies..hobbies cost money, interests are free. LOL But on topic, I get what you're saying, I wrote some songs for a band I'm in and now I'm all like..crap, gotta copyright these things, man.

No lie there bro......Man,,,I lived in a pressure cooker for many years....after a while...it can be some serious brain damage!!! I owned my own business and for years I managed to run the business...get that...I managed to run the business....but then one day I woke up and realized that I was no longer steering the ship...the business was running me.....I carried on like that for quite a few years until I had reached my limit.....that was it....I pulled the emergency break and totally restructured.....shit dam near killed me...the stress was through the roof!!! Thank goodness I'm back in control.... To a degree...but it managable now

After less than 2 years of supporting myself as a musician I dreaded touching an instrument.
I haven't touched an instrument in years. It just sucked everything good right out of it for me.
Even after a long break and a new career path, I just don't enjoy it anymore. Every once in a while I try... just doesn't do it for me anymore.

That is fucking sad, man.. I can understand where you're coming from, though. I can see why making it an income could turn you against it..

I've decided I'm gonna get a six pack by summer and then fuck over all the girls who wouldn't give me the time of day. Why? More like why fucking not. God damn shallow ass insecure women.

Sorry, didn't mean to bring anyone down... I'm cool with it. It just wasn't for me.
I suspect later in life I will pick it back up. I quickly filled the void with a hobby and my pockets with a job.
I actually work in a closely related industry to my hobby now and enjoy both more and more with age.
I think it suits my skill set and natural talents a little better too... not to mention arthritis.

My friend just asked me if I wanted to be his band manager...wow.

They're not like super popular or anything, in fact they just recorded their first album, but I really like his shit. Could be an awesome opportunity.

They would be way more jelly if they saw you glowing with a beer gut rather than angry with a nice body. Confidence is a mindfuck like that.
