Why do I want more of what I hate?  Whenever I browse through facebook statuses, I cringe  and think, "why would you anyone post this?"  And then couple minutes later, I check back again and I'm a little disappointed that there are no new statuses.  I suppose I'm just like the guy who always complains that there's nothing to watch on TV, and flips through the channel for another 4 hours.


My favorite statuses are pictures, because no matter how bad they are, I can still appreciate them.  Unfortunately (?), I can't say the same for inanity.

yes, the above comment was on fb as well as my blog as well.  I obviously did this because I liked what I had written, and I wanted to keep it as a record (because fb is lousy for keeping records).  But without doubt, I will hate the above paragraph next week, embarrassed that what I consider to be "good work" is... well, THAT. 

The best test for your work is time.  I hate everything that I've created at one point or another, from letters to photographs to music.  Sadly but necessarily, most of my creations stay that way, but there are few gems where I say, "hey, may be this isn't that bad after all." 

Shit is a necessary component of creative process.
