Artsy shit people find brilliant...You not so much.

What I don't get is how someone like nate ends up working on a farm. It seems to me that he was destined for greater things, like animal porn or something.

When you do understand me, let me know. Because I have a daily stuggle with it too.:loco:

I ended up on a farm, because it allows me to be my own boss, and I seem to enjoy the "creativity" behind making a business run as efficiently as possible. This isn't farm where we go milk cows and bring eggs in every morning for breakfast. Those are called hobby farms. My families farm is all about efficiency and maximum profit. Plus, I have plenty of time (usually) to do other things that interest me. But most of all, I don't have to deal with that many people on a regular basis. Being in banking and living in larger cities just wore me out mentally. I'm sure 99.9% of other humans would think I'm completely insane for hating to be around other people.
 
@Nate: I can see that, but sometimes you need distractions. What are you doing on the side? I posted a thread yesterday about my cousin -- an MBA investment banker who's just had his first fictional novel published. Are you heading for a side-career also?

It's hard to say, but if I was it would be in fiction writing.

Or I might make a movie about mother earth and God and and all their children . . . just to prove how much artsier I am than Kill Tully.

haha, good on ya dude. Glad you got out of that. I for one fully agree with you that "other people" suck ass.
 
Nate, I completely identify with that and understand why you do it. My girlfriend and I were actually talking about the possibility about becoming farmers some day... I hope she was serious!

My family has about 16,000 acres of land that I was able to go into business on. If you guys don't have a pretty significant family farm already in the works, I don't know how you will be able to do it. I guess maybe if you have money from somewhere else to buy/rent land and equipment. There's always a possibility that somebody could do it from scratch, but it's VERY, VERY rare.
 
Nate: do you have any written material? If so... let's swap some stories or somethin. And discuss them because we are artfags.

I haven't written much at all since college (about 5 or 6 years ago), and all that stuff I wrote makes me chuckle now days. I told Circus Rimbone I'd send him something, and I haven't gotten around to it yet.

So I'll just send you and him the same story. It's about a gay bodybuilder. How's that for an art-fag?

Oh . . . PM me your email and tell me if you want it in PDF or Microsoft Word.
 
Eh, I'll just tell you here...
email: harb@email.unc.edu
microsoft word would be nice


I'll send you some of my recent stuff too. Some is obviously flawed, but I'm really mostly working on accessing my true style.
