adventure club

last week my friend told me this was going to be the week.

he was right. three important people in my life have had amazing successes this week. one appeared unexpectedly in the sun times newspaper, one got a job offer with a small law firm for this summer and then a job offer for next summer as well, and one is off to LA in two weeks to make $750/day as a film assistant.

all this good luck got me thinking about, well, luck. after turning it over, i've concluded that their isn't a ton of luck about it. all three of these guys are motivated, intelligent, and confident who know they deserve their success. while there's certainly something to be said for being in the right time at the right place, i think that's as far as luck goes. after that, one has to take a chance. there's also a certain amount of not paying the dues. i mean really... who do you owe? it's risky, but maybe passing up the shit job with the knowledge that something better is out there that you can do is, isn't so stupid.

the beginning of the week i found out i was one of three finalists for a publishing assistant job that i would love to come through. i hope next week is also "the week." my week to join the adventure club.
