Money always comes to the forefront of this conversation. I don't want to come across as greedy, but ideally, I'd like to live comfortably. If I play my cards right, I could be a millionaire in just a few years! My parents constantly stress that this won't happen unless I work hard, apply myself, be persistent, etc. As much as I hate hearing it over and over again, it's so true. It's very possible for me to live my dreams; I just have to act on my ambitions.
So what is it that I want to be? Two words: Executive Producer. Of what, you ask? Situation comedies. As cliche as this is, laughter really is the best medicine. I constantly argue that no matter what situation people are in, whether they are having the time of their lives or experiencing the worst day/week/month/year ever, a little comedy can go a long way--especially if it's done RIGHT. My gripe with modern sitcoms (except for a select few) is that they cater to crude humor. Sure, sex is funny, but only in moderation. I don't think explicitness is always necessary to make something funny. Implication, on the other hand, usually works. It comes down to stellar writing, awesome acting, and incredible directing (not to mention a generous budget and an outstanding line producer).
I'm still trying to figure out my premise, but mark my words, it'll be the funniest sitcom ever--at least, that's the goal.
Where does happiness come in? Simple: enjoying what I do, loving the people I'm with, and caring for the people who mean so much to me (i.e. friends, family, and hopefully sometime soon, a girlfriend/wife). No matter how tired I'm am, if I can wake up everyday smiling, I know I'm doing the right thing. If I can make people laugh on a daily basis, then I know I've done my job.
I'm so excited to make all of this a reality.
