That's the thing, maybe this book won't make any money, maybe the 6th one won't either, maybe the 8th will start to bring in an income...
But I can guarantee if I work a 9-5 job in Canada, I will never get out of poverty and never have the joy I get from working on art. I'm an outgoing dude for the most part, and pretty chatty as most of GFY can tell, and there's a chick who brings her truck to my mechanic for repairs, she works in the city planning department in Kelowna and makes over $35 an hour and she's almost as broke as I am, the only difference is she has a newer fancy rental apartment and a newer, big monthly payment vehicle, and an iPhone 14 or 15 pro, but basically has less than $300 a month after all of her bills for any spending money, and she's a drunk too! Obviously why we get along, haha. I told her she suffers from lifestyle creep, but she doesn't listen.
Which would you choose, a wage you can feed your stomach on but your soul is empty, or projects that keep your soul full but leave the stomach grumbling?
I mean, who even knows what "Canada" will look like in 1 year from now, I'm flying by the seat of my pants at the moment. ( Thanks Sarettah )
Still chopping more compilations ahead of time here so when I can afford the $35 Tube Site Submitter license, I'll be back uploading again. Will have a shit ton of movies in the queue so I can setup 30 days worth of uploads (150 uploads or so) in like 1 day and then forget about it for the next 30 days.
The last week or so I've re-written like 20k words in the book for the Trump tariffs, it's a silly action-crime-comedy novel, but it totally fits into the whackiness of 2025 already. I guess us Canadians better buckle up, because shit is gonna get wild for the next 4 years!
