RANT

RANT: Marketing companies who produce commercials for local or big business but don't appreciate your talent enough to pay their actors: YOU SUCK.Quit advertising for actors willing to do the commercial to "build their resume..." YOU CHEAPEN THEIR ART!.

And Actors, SHAME ON YOU FOR ACCEPTING THAT! You are worth more than just free...  expect more, demand more! Even a modest stipend is better than nothing!  Save your charity for community theatre - Actors should get paid in any business setting!

END RANT.

Cause, And My Effect.

Everyday I wish I could do more for my community, and less for my self. I wish, I wish, I wish.
I have a friend who donates his time delivering condoms to places of business for free distribution to those who need them, in the interest of safe sex and the prevention of STDs.
I have another friend who spears up GLBT awareness programs including an annual Pride Event.
Yet another friend donates his formidable floral talent to an organization that raises money for AIDS awareness, assistance and Support.
I have another friend who provides musical talent to a hospital that believes children's healing can be facilitated through song and music therapy.
What do I do?
I work.
Ugh.
When will my life create positive impact for other people?
Truth is, I work two jobs, come home exhausted, conk out early, and do it all again the next day.
I could donate time in the evenings to a charitable cause. But I don't.
Why not? Am I lazy? Am I disinterested in making the world a better place?
No.
I am interested, I am not lazy.
But I do lack inspiration.
What causes are out there that need my support? My help, my talents, my time?
Anyone?
