AF - There's nothing wrong with ambition and wanting to give back to something you like. It's also something you like doing too.
But do you understand how difficult it is to find time to have a full-time job (not just the 9-5 traditional shifts) and to look after a house and find leisure time for yourself? It is a full-time job on-top of another - and when you're going to think about building another part of the family, what about finding time with your spouse or raising a kid?
The way I see it, the priority should be:
Food/bills > Job sustainability > House clean/maintain > Family commitments > Hobbies/Friend events.
At the moment, I don't see your reviews channel and such as a money-maker business. It lines more towards your hobbies and that should be the thing you focus on after everything else. Like in school, you do your homework, clean your room and maybe even make your sandwiches before the next school day. Buying anime, watching it and reviewing seems like something you want to do that should be done in spare time. But the reality is that you won't be able to have that much spare time after everything else.
You can't blame your mum to want to get you prepped for the future. You have pets to look after as well, so that's more family to consider. Sorry to say, but even with the small time you have put aside for yourself, you need to realise that even those times can be disrupted.
But - Maybe you should have a sit-down with your mum. I mean, have you explained to her that some of the things she does disrupts the recordings? She might not even understand how much it does distract you or how clearly it comes off in the recording. At the flip-side, recording videos is something that demands solitude. Living in a small house and thin walls will be asking a lot when you're sharing a house with others. This is something that needs compromising or you will both be at each other in the long-term. If there's respect between you, she'll listen (may not agree though) and try to find a solution with you.
But if you buy a lot of anime, watch all of that, record and edit videos and keeping up-to-date with news and forums - You may be biting-off-more-than-you-can-chew with the limited time you have.
true true but thank god I don't have a wife or kids
my brother lives with my grandparents
my sister lives with her man
my sister can take care of her self more or else
its straight forward
thing is my mother is very difficult and makes a big deal out of everything
I have been saving a bit of money on the side for the whole year for board for the whole year
i always do everything that needs to be done before my hobby so i can get right back to it that's how passionate i am.
of course you don't see reviews its actually my first time and I'm working on one right now i want to get right in to it...... hell iv started to get used to hearing my self talk and that's no easy feet ... i had to get used to that.
i finished collage so no more home work.... yay
I'm just angry that i had all this passion in one day and had to drive to do it but lost it all in one day.... but i managed to get it done by going somewhere quiet
its not that she wants to prep me but wanting me to clean up after everyone .... which isn't my mess...... how would you feel if your siblings made a mess and you HAD to clean it up.... or that your mother got a dog and she wanted it and then your the one who has to walk it..... every single day.
I'm not complaining because I'm helping out ...... I'm complaining because they throw others responsibility on me... which is unfair.... hell i have to to look after my sisters new dog too by making sure it doesn't mis behave ........ sure collage is one thing but going out with her friends is unfair while she wanted the damn thing and pays no attention to it.
i have giant afrcan land snails and they are my responsibility so i understand looking after something you wanted....... looking after others pets that they wanted is unfair...... i love the husky his so cute but its not my responsibility.... if was to have a baby i wouldn't just throw it on my parents to look after.... i would genually take responsibility and raise it my self because it is mine.......
or if i had my own dog...( the german shepaerd belongs to my sister, the husky belongs to my mum and the staff belongs to my dad)
if i had my own i would look after it because its my responsibility i wouldn't say..... oh would you feed him or would you walk him oh would you discipline him.
i really wanted my own hybreed husky german shepared but after the game we go though to look after what is supposed to be my sisters responsibility its made me think that it would be to much of a hassle because I'm always busy I'm always doing other things....... that's whats bothering me.....
its people in this house who don't look after what belongs to them or cleaning up their own messes.
sure il help maintaining the house but i wont clean up after someone who just had a party that i didn't take part in.... its like that....
lets say you went on holiday for 2 weeks and you asked a friend or a sibling to look after the house and the animals then you go you have a good time then you come back and find out that the house is a complete mess
beer bottles everywhere
rubbish everywhere
the dogs keep barking for food
and there is writing on the wall
its like someone had a party there
and your angry because you just got back from your good time and now you have to chew out who ever made this mess and if they don't clean it up you have to because they bail on you....... ok this wouldn't happen to me but keep listening
so you have to clean the mess your friend made.... sure its your house but its not your mess.
its the same in my house if someone makes a mess i clean it up which isn't fair because if i make a mess i clean it up.
get it
and yes i know i will be disturbed which is why i try to find the best time possible to do my recording when I'm alone.
actually i never thought about that.... i would always assume that she would think it was something that isn't important ..... but this is the woman who stood up for me when my dad said that anime is stupid Chinese cartoon ..... this is when she watched
death note
basilisk
moribito
FMA
wolfs rain
vampire knights
wolf childen
ganketsuou
romeo and Juliet
and many more
she stood up and said it wasn't stupid and was really enjoyable .......if she is willingly to give my hobby ago maybe she will understand if i explain it to her and what it means to me..........yeah your right il have a word with her tonight.
the thing is i have difficulties concentrating... it happened in school and collage and i needed help and it was a problem for me i didn't take any interest in what they wanted me to do... not because i didn't want to but because it was hard for me to understand or there was something else on my mind or i was being distracted by something or someone ..... I'm one of those people who needs silence and no distractions .... hell when i was editing my videos last night i went and played a game of yugioh online..... its not like i wasn't enjoying editing it but sometimes i need a brake from what I'm doing you know.
the thing is I'm one of those people who just does there jobs because its a job..... it isn't something i enjoy but something that needs to be done but after I'm done with all that i go and do my own thing ... something that i really enjoy
watch anime
watch youtube videos
edit my videos
talking on here with you guys on subjects
playing with my new cam
play a game time and again
this is what gets me motivated ....... the things i like to do the things that i love doing
don't get me wrong i also love my family
my brother
my sisters
my mom
dad
uncle and ante
cousins
grandparents
the dogs
il do anything for them anything.
but sometimes you want your alone time doing the things that yyour family wouldn't get..... sure i opened my mom and dads eyes to anime but they aren't in to it like me
my mom watches it once and a while with me .. sometimes every night because she enjoyes it
i got my dad to understand why i like anime .... he doesn't like it like i do or my mom but at least i got him to understand what anime is and why i like it....... and now he doesn't say...
oh his watching those Chinese cartoons again
oh his watching cartoon porn again.....( i have no idea where he got this idea from i don't own any hentai maybe he saw a image on the internet or something )
but now i don't hear him say anything bad about my hobby anymore in fact he asked time and again what i have been watching lately in conversations..... his not intrested in anime but at least i got him to open up.
maybe i shouldn't complain so much about not getting enough time to make my vidoes .... maybe i should just watch a litte bit of anime and do abit of my vidoes.... you know balance it out abit
well you know what they say...... you live and learn
ok thanks a bunch i have learned abit talking to you i do appreciate it
