My buddy Kyle recently tumbled a wise and working-life-related post describing a phenomenon that I wasn’t even close to articulating until now.
But basically: When you have a day job, it can actually inspire you to get off your ass and, um, follow your dreams. Even if said job means you have less time than ever to accomplish dream-related tasks.
I’m actually going to shut up now, because this should probably become a real blog post on my real blog. But suffice it to say that I totally relate.
My dad got married over the weekend. This ditty came to mind.

When you think about it, rules for drinking are not so different from rules for writing. Many of these are so familiar they’ve become truisms: Write what you know. Write every day. Never use a strange, fancy word when a simple one will do. Always finish the day’s writing when you could still do more. With a little adaptation these rules apply just as well for drinking. Drink what you know, drink regularly rather than in binges, avoid needlessly exotic booze, and leave the table while you can still stand.
