Ok. I intended to start my blog today with my traditional FreeStyle Friday!!!! because i was feeling it earlier, but now that it has gotten pushed back to the end of the day...well it is just not as important. Which leads me ... Azure Thinking...Think about this: What are your priorities? I have recently been evaluating my own especially considering the business and activities i have wrapped myself in. Of course you have no idea what i am talking about so let me share: for the last 4 years or so i have been working to develop severla prooperties and get back to some of my art passions in an attempt to translate those into cash. The first thing i tried was My www.WildThrashers.com where I took design for characters i had created and placed them on shirts in hopes to have the online community come in and purchase a shirt creating for me a good source of residual income. the impetus for these characters is a trading card game that is comprised of skateboard fighters, paintballers, and MMA combatants. I haven't given up on these, but you will see how this all adds up. I also came up with a sister site call www.urflybaby.com in this same vein.
     Next, I began writing a book. And that has gone pretty well i have gotten good feedback from those who have indulged. However correcting many small gramatical errors has sidelined me for many years. I sent out on proposal which was not well written and therefore rejected. That story is also not over.
I then decided to try to get back into airbrushing which i love. but to make a good living doing that it is imperative that you have a steady stream of clientele. Malls are a perfect ground for the traffic but their costs are outlandish.
    I have thought about caricatures but the same trouble as the airbrushing. And i do all of this working a 9-6 for a major bank, taken care of a wife with a chronic pain disease, a daughter with bi-polar disorder ( as is my wife), and a son who is ADHD and at times exhibits BPD as well.

So what does all of this have to do with priorities? when you are thinking about your life and see all of the trouble including bills and responsibilities coming to the fore, what then really matters to you, what becomes your priority? is it the jobs to make the money? is it your family with all of their needs? is it your dreams because at least you can be happy? what is first for you? This is a hard question to juggle and an even harder dilemna to resolve. Everyone wants to be happy, most of us don't want to neglect our families, and unfortunately, we all need money to survive. these variables bring about revelation. Our major priority has to do with what we must first. Dreams, sadly must follow in its wake. So as you are home out with friends but in the back of your mind you are weighing these or similar thoughts...Azure Thinking...think about me.
