The tendency of a body to resist acceleration; the tendency of a body at rest to remain at rest or of a body in straight line motion to stay in motion in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force.

Complancency.

A feeling of contentment or self-satisfaction, especially when coupled with an unawareness of danger, trouble, or controversy.

These two make a pair of dangerous attributes, don't they?

A taiwanese boy moved to LA with his parents when he was 9 years old. He went to UCLA film school and make a horrific indie flick at the age of 28. It was so bad people called it a parody of indie films. It was full of Tarantino-isque cliches and over stylish camera movements that made no sense. 5 years later he managed to make another low budget film dealing with the anti-sterotype of asian americans. Asian american who are not math nerds and chinese food delivery boys. The film's ultimate success will be key in whether or not other asian american indie film makers will get support from studios. However, his individual success has already been determined - he is 31 years old, and is currently working with MTV, FOX, and other studios on various projects.

I am jack's watery tear duct.

I am a chinese boy who moved to MD with my parent at the age of 13. I didn't go to film school an make an indie flick at the age of 27. At the age of 27 I was producing tabloidy news stories for a top 5 market - helping to raise ratings for big city local news stations. 5 years later I'm still doing the same thing, and hating every single day of it. Technically speaking, I guess I can say that I've been successful in my career. However, I can't say that I'm successful because success shouldn't feel like ass. And I feel like ASS.

And I blame it all on my two good friends inertia and complancency.
