What drives you to get up and do shit during the day? Future goals? Public service? parents? bills?

i dont even know how i got into it. but on some days i just come home and draw in my room for like an hour, then drive into downtown boulder or denver and just have fun with it. you should try it. some artist said "the minute you get that first tag, you think 'i couldve done that better' and you gotta keep movin" and to me that describes it perfectly. i love doing it and i want to do it for the rest of my life. i dont know what it is, maybe i just feel like im making myself known or somethin but i love it

well the reason that i get up and go to school is a combo of pressure from my parents, expectations for myself, and i enjoy learning

besides that i am driven mostly by just making other people happy, i love to do things if it will put a smile on peoples and subsequently my face.  ex, i was in a play (comedy) recently and loved it because i was able to make the audience crack up and have a good time

at school I was motivated to go to classes simply because I was paying so much for them. I'm  not gonna skip a class when I am paying so much money to go to it. once I find a subject/class that I really enjoy, that itself should motivate me.
now, I'm motivated to get up and go to work becaues I need money. gotta pay off the car, keep gas in it, and save money for new ski boots so I don't die from shin bang next year. and now I'm getting paid an actual decent amount so I don't mind working a lot

Man, I REALLY wanna try graf now...

Why do I get up in the morning... that's a big one. Sadly, on many days it comes down to paying the rent. On days when I'm off work though, I always have something to get stoked on, just little shit I planned on or simply the freedom of being able to do whatever the hell I want with my day is enough to get me motivated.

Hahahaaha, I said that to myself so many times over the past year. It wasn't until recently that I actually started getting my shit together and figuring out exactly what the fuck I'm doing with my life and it feels great. Bumming around my hometown blazed as hell 24/7 was fun for a year, but I'm really happy that's behind me haha.

Skiing.....that's pretty much it.  I mean I do other things, but skiing is where my passion is.

I'm 25, and  have my career....but it really means nothing to me anymore.  I'm at the point in my life were I work to live, and not the other way around.  I'm just watching the home prices and when they come back up, I'm selling and moving to better snow.  Southern California is not for me and I refuse to live the rest of my life where I don't want to be.

i just really want to be successful at whatever I do.  I don't know why, but I can't stand not trying my hardest and putting my best foot forward at all times.  I really want to get involved in high finance so thats my main driving force right now, but in general I am just so driven that I can;t help myself from going hard no matter what the situation is.

Well to tell ya the truth, the number one thing that gets me stoked in the morning is skiing. Doesn't matter where I am or what time of year, I wake up thinking about skiing. I can normally ski a bunch to which is good. But friends keep me goin alot, I love my friends and family a lot too. Overall just smiles and stoked. Oh and having to go to school and at least getting by so I don't get fucked later on.
