not to join
Thursday, November 15, 2012 @ 1:13 AM | 0 comment(s)
There’s nothing interesting to write, but I did anyway; the
reason for this entry is that I need to organize my thoughts in joining the
school paper.
Two people persuaded me to join, I’m not really sure if I
will but if I do, well, a cartoonist will be a perfect job to apply. They also
wanted me to do the work of writing a column; they say that I don’t need to
write two whole pages or what, just the informative. Unfortunately, I wouldn't dare for the fact
that I don’t know how to “write”. I know I write blog entries but it doesn't make any similarity on how to write a column just like in a newspaper,
furthermore, I don’t have that kind of skill of searching facts AND I don’t
have enough time to go the event and cover the whole story.
I also realize that joining as a cartoonist is useless, well
maybe not because all I have to do is scan and edit but I lack the tools. To be
a cartoonist, one must have tools to hone its skill, especially the passion of
painting, never mind the talent. The sad thing about me is that I have the
talent, I only lack skills, trainings etc. aside from tools (mediums, pens,
papers, Adobe, scanner etc.).
I don’t want to be pessimistic or
anything, it’s just that sometimes, I don’t have any single interest in joining
the group, true it’s tempting, but if I joined, what will be the reason to stay? The eagerness to work and the sacrifices that has to be made as a full
pledged member?
Other than that, I still have lots
of responsibilities to amend and problems to solve aside from studying college.
Oh hard life, sometimes you deprived me of enjoying it.
