What sanity?

So, what ever did happen to my sanity? Considering how non-linear this whole ARSNIC concept is to begin with, lots of my friends, family and random strangers think I must have lost my sanity to try this out. But you know, I don't think I'm loony or anything like that. If you ask me, I'm the most sane person I know. What's that? The nutjobs say that too, eh? Well, I have logic, science and reason to back up my claims. Oh, and legend to back me up too.

You see, I have this idea, this dream. I love art, and I'd willingly give just about anything besides my dominant hand to make a success of myself in the art field. But hoping, wishing and praying won't cut the mustard. No matter how much I agonize over it, God himself won't come down and offer a comission to paint the pearly gates. Nor will insert person/company/municipality here ask for me out of the blue. You got to take your own fate into your own hands to get anything at all done. Waiting around will result in a life of lost potential and frustration. No thanks, none of that for me. Even if I fail at my quest, I still gave it my all. If I do not give it 100%, then I will fail, regardless.

But I'm not exactly stupid here, and I do have a plan for ARSNIC. It's classified at the monent, but in part of it's culmination, ARSNIC Studios will become a reality. People ask if I'm afraid to push for my vision during the curren economic problems. The answer is easy: NO! Often we find that the greatest renissances come out of the worst conditions... Harlem in the 60s & 70s, Europe after the dark ages, and Tacoma after the Depression of '09. From ashes, the fenix rises, right? Gotta have ashes before you have any rising. Hang in there... remember, the tougher times get the harder my art and the art of other like-minded artists will push harder.
