Well … i had a conversation with a person which i hadn’t seen for a long time (a very special person) …
and she reminded me of another person which is so full about herself.
I’m talking about an artist.
It’s amazing how some people get to be “great professionals” from unknown amateurs …
Let’s face it , they have some skill , they have the free time to explore that skill , they’re in the mood and they have the money to do it and they get feedback as they deserve , on the quantity of resulted products. But that doesn’t make them professionals , that doesn’t place them above others , that doesn’t make them better or more important.
I think that i was like that at the beghining … i still remember my amateur days (in programming , niternet , at least the first posts on this blog) …
The first things you do in a “new” domain for you usually are awsome. And that boosts the self esteem and morale . which of course lead to arogance and rise that ego higher and higher. It happened to me (until i had some problems that woke me up to reality), so i know how arogance feels like.
Eh, after the arogance part comes the part when you should choose if you stay an amateur or go pro.
The first one requires you to be an asshole and a self-inflicted person , the second one needs a lot of work and dedication but let’s resume what i was saying on the subject debated here.
Artists nowadays become weirder and weirder , nonconformist … and they piss me off.
Ok , i understand they see the things different , i understand being good at one thing (or to have the luck to own a thousand dollar digital camera that makes a masterpiece out of any shitty picture you take) but not until the point you say “hey , you’re an amateur , don’t talk to me” or “if you’re not good at it let it go” or crying yourself’s pity (emo style) and making something huge and dramatic out of nothing like “i live my life like this is the final day of it , and i wanna die in an artsy way”. 
The most important and hard things seems to not get cocky after you’ve done something nice. I still see people that struggle for many days to do something , which is of poor quality , and then are very pissed of and telling other people that they’ve done a masterpiece and they are all stupid for not seeing it so … which deserve to be shot
There are those artists (music related) who struggle to emit two sounds but manage to have an attitude of platinum disk awarded individuals … because they are artists.
The poets and other writers (especially weblog.ro) might be another one of that type of artists , but i’ve talked about these in previous posts and it’s not nice to repeat myself.
In conclusion : Suffering in this country is like dirt. Everywhere and too much , unstoppable.
