to busy to die today
I now have three jobs: my own sound gigs, my new career as a cameraman, in television, and as the podcast editor for Rolling Stone Online. Three times the stress, 70% of the pay of my old career.
Not that I'm bent out of shape about it. Rather, my life and my failures are reflections of our society. As Americans we live to work, instead of work to live. We are concerned about increasing our productivity, yet 95% of our efforts are merely a waste of time, perhaps a collective detriment.
As a society, we are committing killing ourselves. Which is part of life, which is totally acceptable if you are doing it for your children, for the species, for the planet. Not us, we are just doing it.
