"Sleep is for those who don't have dreams..."

I got that quote from a friend of mine who's involved in visual arts. Like so many others, the odds of becoming a highly "successful" photographer is stiff. We were told to follow our hearts and live our dreams, but they failed to mention the part about expenditures and competition. The "baby-boomers" generation is being forced out, yet "Generation X," as we've been so appropriately named, is fighting within itself to compete in a job market that blows all kinds of chunks.

I was kind of feeling down so I turned to music to reflect my mood. Skip the whole "pick me-up" tunes, give me some sh*t that's gonna make me say, "Damn, this is real." In doing so I opened my computer and found a classic song from a classic album by an artist who's surely going to be labeled (if not already) one of the greats, KanYe West's, "Spaceship." For those that aren't hip, the song comes from "Ye's" freshmen album The College Dropout. In it, he describes the plight that the dreamer with great ambitions goes through on a day to day basis. If you feel like you've ever wanted more out of life than where you're at, this bud's for you. To all my fellow big dream enthusiasts out there, never quit; even if where you're at sucks major! Remember, count it all joy! Our day is coming!
