Smurf Card #6

Been a while. Wanna catch up? Read these quick.

On to the main attraction...

Serendipitously, this next card comes at a very opportune moment. No other Smurf card has resonated with me at the exact right time like this one has. I just finished up what is arguably the hardest three months I have ever had to endure (not including deaths in the family of course). The main reason: TV class with Quan Hoang. I put more effort into TV class than I have in anything else except my marriage, and I assure you my wife would contest that point. On top of that, I had one of the most demanding teachers in Casey Brewer for a class called "Image, Parity, and Long Copy." Not an easy class, to say the least. There was another class that was very time consuming, because I didn't know what the hell I was doing. That was "Computer: Layout and Design" with Ted Dahmen and my god what a difficult tri this has been. I was averaging 4 hours of sleep a night. I was literally working all the way up until 15 minutes before my critique. So tired.

Which brings us full circle to the Smurf Card:











I think with this card Peyo is giving me a reprieve from working so hard all the time. I'm kind of an all or nothing guy, so when I work, I WORK. When I don't, well duh. In the spirit of that reprieve, I am not going to think to hard about this card. I want to extend the soul of this card to all my faithful readers: Enjoy your downtime. Don't take life too seriously.
