«c2»And there is an answer. Against all
odds there was someone reading the
articles in Apathy`s Feedback Issue#7,
a production that is searching its
competitor in the whole scene these
days. Actually this is a reply to
Strife`s article "What kind of life
do we want?" he released there, so I
would recommend to read this one at
first, but it is not that neccessary.
All needed facts will be named here.«»
«»
At first I have to retort that there
exists a third kind of people and that
is me! No, I am only joking of course
but I am going to become one of them.
I think instead of hanging around with
an ok-wife after a day at an 8-hours
ok-job or just making money at the
stock market only all the time, you
could choose a more exciting way of
life: Jump into that adventure! That
is what I expect from my life. No
accomplishments through money or
watching tv by drinking some bottles
of the same bear every evening. But
how to do so in this world that is
ruled by money and money makers. It
is not possible you may say, but I
think it is. Of course it will be not
an easy thing to do, but it will be
worth to do something for...
To explain that, I have to become a
bit personal, so don`t be frightened.«»
«»
At first I gave up a "really" serious
career at an advertising agency, threw
away the chance for a lot of money, a
job for my lifetime, a "standard"
life. For some of you this may be THE
dream, and I don`t want to offend you
with this article, but I could never
live this way. I want to realize my
own ideas, my dream of life. I want to
try out several jobs and travel to
foreign countries but stay here at my
place of birth the same time.In short:
I want to do everything I want to. You
may say this is impossible, I say `No`
because I started this kind of life
already.«»
Only one year ago I dreamed of a
career as author, but I had to notice
the senselessness of this dream,
although it was more near to what I
generally want than everything before,
because you can neigther really make
money nor get real fame with such a
job today. Especially not in Germany,
where only the old and dead-since-ages
artists are respected. But I still
want to write and even call myself
author today. And I am able to do so!
It will be no career, I know this now,
but I can make something out of it. I
will perhaps write stories for small
magazines only and get not much money
for it but I will have a lot of fun
this way. And I am (already) editor.
In scene. And at this point I don`t
have the same opinion as Strife
explained in his article. It may be no
real job and at last none you can
become rich of, the same thing as
being author, but as I already
mentioned it is what I want to do.
And if you want to become happy and
get the life you want, you have to
follow your heart. Your wishes and
dreams. Just live. How you manage the
rest is another question.«»
«»
And of course I give you the answer or
at least I try to explain the answer
for me: In real life I already made
some experiences with several jobs for
example. I cleaned trains, was night-
watcher, secretary & editor and at the
moment I have to work in an
advertising agency for some weeks yet,
because I had to quit this job before
I go mad. Although I never believed
that sentence when I was young, you
can really find a job for your living
at any time. If you are not too
arrogant or ignorant you will always
find a way to come through. And mainly
you will be able to live the life you
want. Do art. Do fun. Do life.«»

And how will my personal story
continue? I don`t know exactly, but I
know how it will NOT continue:
No 8-hours ok-job and drinking the
same bear in front of the tv set every
evening. For an ok-wife it is in any
case too late because I already got an
extraordinary and crazy artist-girl.
In 2001 I planed to study. At first
translation, because I want to know a
lot of languages, then philosophy. And
later I will spend some years in other
countries for more than three months
each, as I did two years ago in Paris
- the town I love as I love my
hometown - where I will surely stay
for a while again some time. And I
will come back home. I will stay in
scene as long as possible. But I want
to make the best with my real life
too.«»
May I die young or old, I always want
to know that I did the best with the
time I was given. The world is my
place, isn`t it?«»
«»
At last you see Strife`s article was
not only a filler - as he declared -
but an inspiration. At least for me.
Of course I have no guaranties for my
plans but that again who does? You
will never find out if you don`t try.
Perhaps both of our articles, Strife`s
and mine, made some of you, dear
readers, think about your situation.
If not, it may be your fault.«»

«c4» In this way best wishes, Zito.
