I carefully budget my money so that I have a monthly surplus. I make art. I am self employed. My income comes from my art.
I work in a factory and really enjoy it. I consider myself a workaholic. I collect meat to eat.  I see myself as a carnivore. Black Sabbath is my favorite band.  I have gone into debt from buying Black Sabbath t-shirts. I like to buy a lot of Black Sabbath CDs.
I got paid earlier for one of my pieces of work, so I decided to go out and buy some prosciutto.  You inspired me to think about collecting meat, too. Oh man! Just be careful how you store it! I always try to eat my meat within 3-4 days. Then I find a new stash! In that case maybe I'll buy only a little bit. Haha. What other meats would you recommend? Venison is really good! Have you ever been hunting? My father was a great hunter! I've never tried hunting, but hunting big game, cleaning, and butchering it all myself is something I want to do in the future. Do you have any experience? Just a little! I don't have much time anymore because I am always working! How many hours a week do you spend at your profession? Oh I don't keep track anymore. It feels like I'm working all the time, because I can't help but see shapes and lines everywhere I go. And when I get an idea, I have to take pictures or jot notes down so I don't forget it when I'm back in the studio. It feels like working all the time! Hey! You know what they say.... when you are working in your passion, you never work a day in your life! That's true. There's a difference between your job and your work. For me, I love art so it is everyday but it's also something I enjoy! What about you? Well, I can't say being a factory worker is my passion. I will say that I enjoy it to a certain extent! Plus, I am just blessed to have a source of income. That's what counts. Enjoying it for what it is and then having the means to pursue your true passions. Like meat! haha I do love meat!!!!! Have you thought about making meat art?
