I've had enough of the "genetic lottery"

[Part 4 of 4]

I used to be on Vevo so that'd generate it's own youtube channel with that watermark like established artists. Recently they changed their rules and said you have to be more professional and need a following so I got rid of 'em. Was kinda neat having that vevo watermark. If you could get a stupid viral hit, it'd be like them on youtube with the vevo.

So because I was with them, my stuff in searches is more out there like established artists compared to newbies. Got shit out there now, compared to years before with no material.

Last summer tested out this DMDS service to submit to music video TV stations and commercial radio stations. This place handles the voting system of some major award shows in the states. Normally you can't send to these media outlets because it's unsolicited. It's the same system that record labels use. You see who at those companies viewed your stuff. Like I sent to Muchmusic and MTV US. Muchmusic has these MAPL Canadian content rules where they have to play a certain percentage of artists from here. When you submit videos you see who works there that checked it out. Went into the Much archive.

I'd just need to put more craftsmanship into the "product" but that takes time. Most of your day is spend with a bad day job. Then you get home, the few hours during spare time is low quality energy.

My stuff deals with thousands of files in a track so usually drags on for a season, nevermind a video for it after. That bird one is 27 parts and 15 minutes long. That dragged off and on for a couple years. Have all kinds of future projects. So things are going good.

Got my act together it's like when you're using a screw driver to put in a screw. At the start it wobbles all over and the screw falls to the side. But once it's in a bit, now you just gotta keep turning it.

Whatever you're up to, you're at the start where the screw is falling all over the place. I don't know if you have a plan. My journey is different from others. But when I was your age, I had no goals or anything. I just knew I wanted to try to get something going and not settle for the deal like everybody else. They're all satisfied with being a good worker bee and have kids and then die. Never getting money and power to where they can fix inadequacies going on in the world.

The odds are extremely low for me of accomplishing anything and having any success. But hey, it's better than sitting around losing, watching TV. That's guaranteed 0%, this is at least maybe 0.001%. But to even get there, I had to get a handle on the damn distractions people keep doing at every present moment.

I don't know what your journey is.. but I can understand where you're coming from. You got no goal there.. it's like aimless. That means "without purpose or direction".

There's some people who got famous who had bad skin. Again though, your journey may not include this need to get rich or famous.

So who knows.. you're likely just one of them, like everybody else. I'm not gonna settle for that deal though. Most of them are worker bees who don't want to try and change the world. You're likely one of them.

But who knows.. maybe just something in there 'll make you wonder about what's going on with your life and you may get your ass in gear about at least something. Maybe pick up an old fat chick, I don't know.. hahaha.

What are you into? Do you have any interests and hobbies? Have you ever "wished" you could do something with your life instead of losing?

Back when I was your age, I didn't have ANY of those business ideas. Again, this is my whole journey. So you trying to think of some might not be what your deal is.

But who knows, maybe you can think of some goals on your own and try to figure out a way to get there, in your own way.

You can't have a bunch of people out there who can change the world. It'd be a mess with like a buncha powerful moguls. So this is more of a very very rare type of thing I'm trying to see if I can go after.

However.. this business ideas stuff may be something you'd like to get into. Go into a store and think, well this sucks. Or they're treating their customers like dirt. If you could build a better store or a business, what would you do. Then, the next step is how would you get to that point.

Me, I'm not smart enough. To be good at school, you'd have to remember stuff from books. That's like being an actor, you have to remember the lines. I can't remember lines or things from books to pass tests. Barely just passed high school.

I couldn't do the traditional business school method. Couldn't be a lawyer. Can't get that few M seed money. So this is my path. Ya gotta think of yours. Maybe it's not your deal though to try and win. Me, I don't settle for the deal like everybody else. I'm also persistent and keep plugging at something. Lotsa people go "fuck it" and give up. haha. Trying to get a woman on online dating, you have to deal with losing real bad.

But looking at you, you're losing at the game of life. You're complaining that you're a failure. Well, I'm talking about maybe winning at it. Who cares about things like "friends". If you can get money you then get the using women to get sex. If that type of thing is important to you. At least they'll use you. I'm sure if you'd get money, somebody would figure out how to fix your skin. May have marks later, but some actors do.

I don't know.. I'm kinda getting into some sort of solutions here about some of your problems. But my whole path of trying to get to where I'm trying to go, may not work for you. This is my whole deal.

However.. even just a modest level of success might be good for you. Maybe that'd help. Just something extra, maybe even a bad job. I don't know. Maybe you could handle schooling to get there. Maybe you'd be satisfied with just a typical life middle class people have. Maybe that'd be "better" than how things are going for you. Perhaps work towards that if this is what you want.

My stuff is all over the place and if you can get to that next level where you're a billionaire, now you can look at some of these other ideas. Things like like fixing huge problems in the world with how governments are all going bankrupt. ok my stuff is heavy duty where even looking at what Elon is doing makes him seem like a dumbass. To beat him all you'd need to do is make a gizmo and put him outta business like he'd be in the saddle business when cars came along. ok so my stuff is like way over the top.

But for you.. just a mild level of this might be something where you could be "satisfied" about your life and not feeling like this loser. So maybe think about all that. Cause right now, sounds like ya got "nothing". Maybe just a tidbit of what my deal is would fix your shit. lol.

So try and think of what that is for you and how you'd get there.
