I just sent a discouraged student this piece of advice from Ira Glass, and in so doing watched it again myself. If you’re a person hoping to make a career doing creative work, I highly recommend — actually, I insist — that you watch it as well.

In a nutshell, here’s his message: Yes, you suck right now — that’s because you haven’t been working long enough. The only way to stop sucking is to keep working, because that’s how you get better. No one is born great; everyone sucks at first, and every person who does what you want to do got there by pushing through that long, dark period of sucking and working hard to improve. If you give up now just because you think you suck, you will suck forever. So just. Keep. Working.

Now if you’ll excuse me, there’s a rehearsal I have to get to.

(Update: Embedded the correct video. Geez!)

Obama Should Be Impeached

“I am pretty fucking pissed right now.  I found out, well I found out this fucking Obama is gonna ban flavored dips.  WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT? That’s fucking GAY.  He needs to be fucking impeached for it, fucking gay as hell.”

I am not sure this guy (who looks like he is about 4 dips away gum cancer) understands that it will be really hard to impeach a president for trying to keep you alive and healthy.

EDIT:  Just looked at his other videos and half of them are about Skoal.

Health Insurance Reform in four minutes on Vimeo

Posting not only ‘cause of the issue, mostly because I just realized how totally fucking crazy it is that I can post a 4 minute video summary of a new gov’t bill and share it around. Daaamn bro.
