The Dream

So I have been looking to change... well not careers, as this is not what I want to do with my life, but jobs. Trying to find something to make me happy. An exercise someone gave me that is suppose to help is to say what would you do if you won the lottery?

I had to think about this a little bit. I think like everyone else there is a few things that pop into mind.

- Travel. I have never really searched the globe to see all its beauty
- Buy a House. Just a place to call home
- Buy all the toys I want. I could spend days playing with a new bike, car and boat.
- Buy happiness. Wait money can't buy this... or can it.

Money might not be able to be true happiness, but used right, it can get what will make you happy. I would invest in myself. By what ever I needed to make my own production company, and believe that what I made was going to be successful.

You see I think with today's "Market" most people are doing what I want to be doing, wrong. I see a few people on twitter trying the way I would, but even still they are only doing half the work they should. Without giving away the idea, you need to hit art with what sells.

I think if you look at some of Joss Wheden's work, you will see some brilliance on his part. The man knows how to use metaphors, and string a story together. A lot of his problem is he is too far a head of his time. Lets look at his most successful work to date, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

This is a show that was critically praised but never got a lot of people watching, now why? People saw the vampires and thought it was a kids show. I know because I am one of them. But the truth is it was just too soon. Now Vampires are huge, everyone is trying to get a piece of them, and you can't tell me, BtVS is not better written than them all. I am a huge fan of True Blood, but it is terribly written compared to True Blood.

So you have to find your art, and find what is pop culture today, and figure how to make them mesh. This is what makes or breaks success, today. The people that can set the trends are people with a lot more money than the rest of us.
