Cool glitz in my early walk to journalism class: the first beautiful day in Austin.
Last night I heard Robert Rodriguez, the film director, lecture about his passion for the art of film and how that passion got him to Hollywood. So much of the same things are said in talks where the target audience is college students: do it. Nike's famous label quote: Just do it! Do what you love; do it in the best way you can; do it all the time, and never stop doing it. It's the same thing my brother has attempted to engrain in me. "It was right in front of me," was what Rodriguez said about his love of making movies. I related to everything he said, yet it's still hard for me to believe it. He said he wasn't talented in one specific area; he said he felt alone. What>!? How can the film director of Sin City and Desperado not know at one point. I'm so mad at myself. I'm so mad at myself for being stupid, not knowing what I love. How can I not know what I love, what I passion for, what I need to be happy? Right now I love the dim grey sky and it's extruding of a frigid air that inspires me to sit and express myself. I need to do it; I need to love it. What is it; what the fa-la-la is it ?

when you find it, you will know it.
i need to find it now before its too late.
how cool, too, that you saw robert rodriguez. did he direct the new 'zorro' that is coming out with antonio and catherine zeta?
and speaking of RR: there is a poster in the Pediatrics office that is framed along with two photographs of the kids from 'Spy Kids' complete with autographs. It looks as though one of the docs must have been at an event of some kind.
I always pass by it and hadn't thought about it till i read your post.
