Tempus, as they say, fugit
As an aside and for the record regarding something I am not going to link: Theresa Duncan was far more accomplished than Kate Moss. But Kate Moss is a great beauty, a professional beauty, and Theresa was capable of appreciating beauty. Some beauty remains while some of us are left to appreciate it.
There are three basic types, Mr. Pizer: The Wills, the Won'ts, and the Can'ts. The Wills accomplish everything, the Won'ts oppose everything, and the Can'ts won't try anything.
- V.I.N.CENT
The robot is right. A reasonable guide to the personality type your are dealing with is in reaction to the success or failure of well-known, accomplished people. If the first instinct is to do the same - to do better - you are dealing with a Will. If it is to belittle, dismiss or pathologize the accomplishment you are dealing with a Won't. If it is to ask for an autograph, that's a Can't.
In my experience it is best to surround yourself with other Wills as much as humanly possible. Move heaven and earth to be with the Wills; the Won'ts will stop at nothing to prevent you from succeeding. Increasingly I find I cannot stand the Won'ts. I have no patience left for them. F--- them. They have no Mastery.
If there is something you want to do - something awesome - then do it now. The grass is not greener. Life is short. Etc. It is only a platitude if you do not act on it.
And on that note: I am playing Savage Garden tomorrow night. My limited edition, numbered promo EP will make its debut then and there.

But what if you don't want to do anything?
I may be there tomorrow night. I'll be the one in black.

Right on! Though you may find the crowd ever so slightly less black clothes than one might expect. These noise/IDM nights bring out the sound-heads rather than the goth/rivet regulars.

Do you know what time you'll be playing?

I am on early... just after nine. I asked to open in deference to my nine-to-five audience. The young scenesters can play later.

Good. That way I can be home before my coach turns into a pumpkin.
