    "I'd rather die on the street as a street performer, than try to create a life that satisfies someone else." Well spoken sir. Many people would love to be free, but few have the actual fortitude to make it happen.

      I saw not a speck of dust in either the artists house, or the apartment stuffed full of a life well lived. Your existence must be sterile to the point that you feel the need to sterilize all that you see in fear that it may contaminate you.
      I wonder why you felt compelled to watch this video, but it's apparent that you needed something to critique...to call _"filthy"_ . But so you understand for future encounters, *both* of those private living spaces are are clean and tidy, things are put where they are kept... because that is where the people _WANT_ them. They bring joy to the world. I feel sorry for you that you don't appear to be able to see or feel that.

      Not true. It all depends on the mentality of the person doing the work. Are you going to tell me many firefighters have not touched hearts. How about John Cena who has done exponentially more for the Make a Wish foundation than any other star. Or me, who has chosen to work in fitness with the senior and disabled populations when I could have easily chosen to chase the private rich people. Or let's say Bill Gates and his foundation. A job is a grind where as work is passion and if you do anything with passion you will touch someone's heart, somewhere, somehow.

      Susan Slaphappy not a dying art! I loved puppets as a little kid and always begged my mom for one but they freak her out so I make them myself I’m 20 now and my youngest brother whose 12 is interested in them as well I’m currently studying visual and special effects I want to make props for movies puppets are used in movies and stuff all the time! It’s not dying you just haven’t payed enough attention
