Hey Hey. You know who this is, yes of course Joe Mac some people maybe thrilled to their fingertips or may want to run away screaming. Either way here I am for better or worse.
I've been thinking alot about my career lately. I think it has been a long and for the most part successful one. Some people may disagree and I'm okay with that. I started my career at a young age. I was doing plays at the local theater as early as the age of 6. Age 14 or 15, pre puberty I was in the New Kids/ NYNUK originally. We were successful, very successful, I have been to places other people will never get to see. I have had opportunites others will never have. I won't lie, making money and having lots of it at a young age is fun. Being able to buy your own house at the age of 22 is an accomplishment.
I'm not some pompaus jerk nor am I ungrateful for the money, and fame. Like all good things it must end, there is a time when the crowds get to be too much. There was a time when I just wanted my own life, to sort out what had happened. There was a reason I feeling so exhausted after New Kids was done. I hadn't stopped working from the age of 14 to 22. And in a blink of an eye, I went from being teen star to yesterdays news. That sucked that was the worst feeling ever. After wards I moved to NYC. I let myself be a kid, I did a lot of drinking and didnt make great choices. the truth is I had to make those choices and i had to be able to do what I wanted. most people go through a time of rebellion, the only difference is that they don't have a ton of money and they are much younger than I was. I wasn't a late bloomer, it was just working all the time didn't allow me to be like every other kid.
I got out of that though, I moved on. I learned alot from that time in my life. Fame and fortune isn't everything, it can be gone in seconds. I'm much happier being an artist that is free to do what he wants, to explore and try new things with out someone telling me to stop doing this or that. it's just not me. I don't htink it's anyone. Nobody likes to be told what they can or can't do. I think being restricted as an artist is well wrong, as a person who likes to use the left (or right side of the brain) being told what to do restricts that. No I'm not complaining, but without being able to try pop, salsa, big band music, I wouldn't be true to myself. By not going back on stage and trying Broadway, I wouldn't get to be the performer I want to be and need to be. I loved trying ball room dancing it was a fun and exciting challagnge it's such an art form that I have come to love and respect.
My newest challenge came on November 20 of last year. His name is Griffin Thomas McIntyre. Of course I think he is an amazing kid.
