first day of the rest of your...

So I got the new monitor over the weekend. Oh,excuse me, my new monitor. Yes, change is hard, but in this case it was a necessity. I'm currently typing into a shiny new 19" CRT monitor. Of course, a flat panel LCD screen would've been more en vogue, and I know they are all the rage with the kids, the hipsters, you know what I mean. But in defense of my un-coolness, a CRT screen is mad cheap! And that of course, was one of the criteria in my selection process.

Also, in most reviews, CRT's perform quicker and have better colour representation than an LCD. Something on screen is more accurately what will appear on the printed page, so I figure since I deal in the printed arts, CRT was the way to go!

Anyways, enough boring nonsense. I've been approached about doing some work for a company I've freelanced for in the past. The job kinda sounds interesting, but that's neither here nor there. If I was to accept this gig, that move would go directly in opposition of my goal for this spring, which was to avoid any paying gigs that would keep me from working on my own art. I had meant the next few months to be a time of growth for myself, and a return of Kissing Chaos!

But to play devil's advocate to myself, I have bills to pay, an doing KC online for free doesn't pay the bills! So now what? I feel like this is the first true test of my will. This is like the devil tempting me, keeping me from doing something that needs to be done. Even though, getting paid for a freelance job can help, if only in the short term...

what's a guy to do?
