Selwyn Smith, 34

I pretty much look at life as like – you got to look at it as a job. Monday through Friday you’ve got certain things you do, the weekends you’ve got certain things you do. And I tend to try to be as organized as I could to get more things accomplished and really to work smart. But it’s hard. It’s a 24-hour job. You’re either doing something, preparing to do something, or checking on something that was done. You know so, it’s different.

And it’s neverending, man. I remember when I was right out of high school I worked at a Payless shoe store and became manager. One of the questions when we interviewed people, we used to always say: Where do you see yourself in the next five years? That question right there, I don’t even have an answer for right now. I hope I’m at least organized and it’s back in order. And that will probably have to be outside of New Orleans.
