| My dream was to become a keyframe animator. Perhaps for Disney or Dreamworks, or Warner Bros. Heck, any ol' animation job would do! To think, I could've been park of a great team of animation artist, and to grow and learn on the job. to be part of something artistic, and world wide reaching. To make beautiful art, and have fun making lots of jokes, guzzling caffine, and watch the finished product either on the big screen of on TV. Oh, what a great wish. A glorious dream indeed. Then, as graduation time aproached, the economy died, jobs became scarce and nonexistant for Entry Level workers fresh out of school. For all the persistance in the world, I suffered ulcers, skin rashes, and the shame of failure in front of my mother, and my peers. My greatest love: Animation. Yet it slipped through my fingers as sand. A degrea whihc is meerly a reciept for a large debt, is but a meer peice of paper. A comodity whihc lost all value the moment it was printed. Why had a I worked so hard to get it? Being that it brought me only sorrow and regret and worst of all: failure. The feeling of loss, the feeling of failure. To survive, one must do what is needed to survive: settel for less. But, less can sometimes be said to be more, as my boss became my husband. This is truely not a sorrow. It's a true and wonderful thing. To have someone whom is an artist and a business owner, who loves me. The real me, he understands as an artits. No other truely could. I love him truely, and faithfully, always. He's my light in a dark place. Yet, I still covet a yearning and longing for Animation. Quite the delemma. |
