Express Yourself

Are you weird, bored, intelligent, genius, religious, and having a great idea?

You may now express yourself without limits as long as you believe in God.

Otherwise, I won't agree with you.

Read this blog and became a fan .

Book — Ignore Everybody | Gapingvoid : The Sex & Cash Theory

THE SEX & CASH THEORY: “The crea­tive per­son basi­cally has two kinds of jobs: One is the sexy, crea­tive kind. Second is the kind that pays the bills. Some­ti­mes the task in hand covers both bases, but not often. This tense dua­lity will always play cen­ter stage. It will never be trans­cen­ded.”

A good exam­ple is Phil, a NY pho­to­grapher friend of mine. He does really wild stuff for the indie maga­zi­nes– it pays nothing, but it allows him to build his port­fo­lio. Then he’ll go off and shoot some cata­lo­gues for a while. Nothing too exci­ting, but it pays the bills.

Another exam­ple is some­body like Mar­tin Amis. He wri­tes “serious” novels, but he has to sup­ple­ment his income by wri­ting the occa­sio­nal news­pa­per article for the Lon­don papers (novel royal­ties are bloody pathe­tic– even bes­tse­llers like Amis aren’t immune).

Or actors. One year Tra­volta will be in an ultra-hip flick like Pulp Fic­tion (“Sex”), the next he’ll be in some dumb spy thri­ller (“Cash”).

Or pain­ters. You spend one month pain­ting blue pic­tu­res because that’s the color the cele­brity collec­tors are buying this sea­son (“Cash”), you spend the next month pain­ting red pic­tu­res because sec­retly you des­pise the color blue and love the color red (“Sex”).

Or geeks. You spend you week­days wri­ting code for a face­less cor­po­ra­tion (“Cash”), then you spend your eve­ning and wee­kends wri­ting anarchic, weird com­pu­ter games to amuse your techie friends with (“Sex”).

My M.O is AntonAmoto.com ("Sex"), coupled with my day job ("Cash").

How about yours? Just write it down below.
