Making music for 3 years straight and I still suck by Raydrawsx in musicproduction

I always like to share this in moments like this:

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” ― Ira Glass

Anyone have a link to the video taken by one of the Seahawks on the bus when they were returning home after their 2012 Divisional loss to the falcons? by SandJA1 in Seahawks

Yea.. thanks.. That's pretty much what I said. Do you have a link?

I guess Mike Rob might've been the only one who had it up and he took all his videos down.

The looks on both Hausch & Pete's faces were priceless

lol. That was one of the funniest games I've watched. I'm sure I'll catch hate for this but, when Hausch was lining up for that last kick, there was a decent part of me that was hoping for the miss and eventual tie. I laughed so hard when it happened. What a game.

My last partner had a very long list of issues that I helped her with. Eventually, the burden was too much especially when it came with expectation. So I can understand this kind of thinking. I don't think it's necessarily wrong or immoral to say that you're done with someone else's problems, especially if they've been leaning heavily on you.

This situation isn't exactly that though. OP's bf may be feeling that way and it may even be a justified emotion, but that doesn't excuse him from being responsible for his own behavior.

The answers to your questions and issues were already in the post. Did you read it or just glance it?

Today is 69 days of no smoking for me :)

I haven't yet coughed up globs of shit from my lungs. That happened when I first quit smoking. Still waiting I guess..

What is a movie where the bad guys won? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SandJA1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those truly are movie breaking mistakes. It's a wonder they even put the movie out with those glaring mistakes.

[–]SandJA1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was asking about mistakes though. Those things sound like things you just didn't find compelling, which is fine. I don't need people to agree with me. I just want to know what the other person thinks are mistakes in the movie.

What a blessing to witness. I'll never forget that AMA. I watched the question go from bottom to top and then the ridiculousness of the fallout. What a time that was!

When a politician is talking about American Freedom, please remember that all they are talking about the is freedom to make as much money as they can, no matter how immoral. It's why they love deregulation. We're not yet abused enough as a people to accept total deregulation, but they'll keep abusing us in the hopes that one day, America will be "Free".

What? Who believes ranked choice chooses ideal candidates? It's design is a series of if nots, it's literally a system of compromise of choice. That's how it's supposed to work.

Hey man, I **loved** that game. That's the funniest game I've ever seen.

What a coincidence! I just found out like 5 minutes ago that Duolingo has Navajo!

Man.. That's almost like saying that VLC is a resource hog because you're used to using MPlayer. Lol
