It's true - excuses are just that. The real reason I haven't blogged is fear. I'm dealing with a resonating fear deep within my
I find myself looking through all these people who 'made it' and comparing their qualities to mine. Oooh! I do have a little Wong Kar Wai in me! He didn't go to film school and neither have I! Colbert is from South Carolina! See, people from my state can make it.

I'm not going to be a stand alone doctor until I'm 28. Until then, I'm going to be an awesome broke student.
Also, according to wiki: Welles had three daughters to three different mothers. Welles suffered from a serious weight problem in later life that rendered him morbidly obese, at one point weighing nearly four hundred pounds. His obesity was severe to the point that it restricted his ability to travel, aggravated other health conditions, including his asthma, and even required him to go on a diet in order to play Sir John Falstaff.
You should compare that stuff too.
That's a good point. Being ambitiious and successful at an early age doesn't mean he had his life in order. Thanks for bringing that up.
