we're dumbing down the school
Ok, so lately, I've been conflicted. Do I want to pursue a musical career, or do I want to go somewhere else.
Well I believe I have decided. I do not want to give up my life to pursue something I won't be happy with. I wouldn't be happy touring, leaving everyone behind, and entertaining a scene of kids I can't stand. I'd be much happier, mocking, making fun of, and ridiculing things I notice in society. I'd be much happier creating a funny, yet clever way of getting out my feelings. Considering I've always been more attracted to the creation of film, and other similar material, why not go for the Film angle. I'm not talking Actor. Now, I don't hate actors, I just think the profession is the most undeserving of praise professions in our Country. Clint Eastwood would get more respect from the American public than someone working with children with disabilities. Sad really. I think acting is a tough, and neat thing for someone to do, I just don't think being treated like Christ is deserved. I'd love to be able to say whatever I want, and not have to worry about pissing someone in the crowd off. I'd love to have the chance to tell society how fucked up things are. I'd love to get the chance to create things for people to sit back and enjoy, and possibly learn a little something from too. I'd also love to just be able to make people laugh. Making people smile and laugh is much more fulfilling than pretending to be above everyone. I've noticed that bands tend to be looked at as "better" people. I'm guilty of putting too much emphasis on how great a band or band member is. I'm still really in love with the thought of creating music. I feel that in this point in my life, I have a few roads to take. One would lead me down a road, where I'd always feel awkward, and feel out of place. I'd never feel comfortable portraying myself in the manner I would have to if in a band. If Im in a band, I have an image to live up to 24/7. I can't work on a film without "that dude from the band is crossing over". I know that eventually, motion picture would be a much more fulfilling field. I also have the road of going for a normal career. I could pursue any area of work. I do however feel I was not put on this planet to be normal. People I know notice that I think differently than most people. I can't sell myself short in the area of my career. The next road is the road of making an animated or live action show. Making movies, and other directing options. I could pursue a career in the Film Arts. I could make more respectable work, and at the same time, have complete creative control. If Im in a band, I have to work with 3 or 4 other people, rely on them, and spend a great deal of my young life with them. If I choose to leave it in the future, Im letting 3 or 4 other people down, along with people working for the band, and countless fans. If I choose to leave a show I created, there are plenty of people available to take over, and not show too much difference. I can make a good deal of money, though that is not important, it's just a good incentive to work hard.
I always knew I'd do great things. I always THOUGHT it would be musically, but lately I have realized I can do better things in other ways. Musically, I'd be too limited and bound.
Thanks for reading. I know it seems like I change my mind a lot, but that is because I have been thinking a lot about the future. I have a feeling Im beginning to find what I want. Im seeing things happening, faster and more prominently than I ever did in the 4 or 5 years of chasing a band. I've already came up with many ideas, along with already beginning work on an early animated short.
Someday, when my show is on TV and really popular, I'll let you guys do voices in some episodes :P
:my inspiration:
Trey Parker and Matt Stone have stuck to their stance that: A. Celebrity is such a fucked up concept. B. Taking things too seriously is never going to solve a thing. C. Making light of every situation allows you to see things for what they are.
Everytime I hear them speak about the show, I just go WHOA, FUCK YEAH. I learn so much about myself, and how I feel hearing it come out of someone else. I notice things and I see things in the world, and so do they. They make a good effort to pick and choose battles. They make the world respect their view, yet not taking themselves too seriously. They keep it crude, funny, and fill it with many low-key points about Society.
When I watch South Park, I feel really whole. I feel like Im able to think about things from the right angle. When I watch the news, I get angry and upset with their idiotic views. When I watch Television, or see a commercial for shows like "The O.C." I just wanna blow it all up. The OC represents all that is wrong with the world. It is a show about Rich, never gonna work a day in their lives, sheltered bastards. They live their cushy, pampered lives with ease, yet create drama for themselves. It's absolutely ridiculous. I know it is created with the intention of being a dramatic series for teens. However, it's teaching them that stupid shit is more important than being smart, or at least even PAYING ATTENTION to the rest of the world. For instance, if you asked one of this damn kids "Do you think the USA will invade Iran in a few years like they did in Iraq, or do you think the Bush Administration will learn it's lesson this time?"....."uh.....Iran where?" Now of course Im picking the worst, and jumping to conclusions about the show. However, it's clear kids are not exactly taking much "info" in when they watch it. They are just turning off their brains, much like they do at school, work, and anywhere else. When is it time for the youth to TURN ON their brains. I know some people need a release, but come on, 24/7?
Sorry for the rant. But it just shows you how I have too much in this head to put into music. I have to work it out in the writing and creating of a TV show, animated series, or film.
Ok, I'm gonna watch more South Park and get ready for bed. Nighty night.

PS: 17 days until my Birthday. I know it's not THAT big of a deal, but it's the one day everyone you know is supposed to at least make a little effort on your behalf. Plus I will be 21 and can drink without guilt...hahah guilt.
