well, okay. not a living per se and not always robots. it sounds nice though. and it's not that far from the truth. i got this job at screaming death monkey - it's visual effects (VFX) house but jeremy, the guy who started / owns / runs it wants to turn it into a full-fledged production company. so for all his VFX stuff and his personal projects he hired me to draw concept art and develop all his ideas and answer the phones if he's busy and stuff.
... so here's me, drawing mostly robots for a pseudo-living.
because of the writer's strike (day 80!), there is very little work coming in. we're doing keanu reeve's new film but its basically done so no concept art is needed. i've spent the week storyboarding this upcoming film that i'm also director of photography (DP) on ... drew some robots ... and downloaded a bunch of podcasts on trans-dimensional conspiracy theories. needless to say, i have very little to do right now. still, i'm pulling a paycheck so i can't really complain. plus my boss(es) are great. they like my art (although i can't imagine why), we laugh alot and things are pretty genial all around. still, it'd be nice to working on a project instead of reading each presidential candidate's website, which is what i did this morning. of particular interest was ron paul's site.
frankly, i don't agree with what i understood to be the libertarian ideology. but ron paul's site seemed pretty moderate - dare i say reasonable? - especially on education reform (which is super-duper important). then i came across this:
"in the past, i introduced legislation to repeal the so-called "assault weapons" ban before its 2004 sunset, and i will oppose any attempts to reinstate it.
"i also recently opposed h.r. 2640, which would allow government-appointed psychiatrists to ban u.s. veterans experiencing even mild forms of post-traumatic stress syndrome from ever owning a gun."
seriously? people should be allowed own assault weapons? veterans who are certified as suffering from psychiatric disorders should be allowed to own assault weapons?
what a nutter.

i have a page on blogger that i'm gonna post pics of bands on called "lifetime problems". almost interesting, that.
i'm not a libertarian, either - not, you know, academically speaking - & it's exactly because of things like the quotes you've posted... you have to believe so strongly in un-obtrusive government that you won't allow them to deal w/ things like people owning deadly other-people-killers. but i'm not trying to over-simplify - libertarianism is a lot to wrap yr brain around.
toats, bro.
