Funholes

I keep reading, hearing, feeling this general mood that enough people aren't doing enough things, and if they are doing things they aren't doing them awesomely enough. I am sadly guilty of making these complainings myself. I say stop bitching that what's happening isn't good enough and start making things happen yourself. I'm going to second Jenny's emotion from a previous post about keeping things positive, so here's some constructive hints:

• Stop hating your friends for having shows. Start working harder and making more art-friends so you too will have a show that is sparkly.

• As a footnote to the above, start an organization like the Young Republic or the Austin Video Bee. Make a hive. Talk some jive. Stay alive.

• Get a better job that lets you pay your bills. Nothing makes the character of a person more bitter and bilious than hard-scrabbling for each dollar. The starving artist is totes over.

• Don't be an asshole. Be a funhole.
