Notice anything about the world? With as much as there is to talk about, nothing is worthy of conversation. Politics remains the same (with war in The Middle East and a controversial US President), women are on the incline, men continue to disappoint, and the youth utilize modern technology in ways unforeseen (as far as business).
Leave it to Beaver (yours truly) to offer his life as a medium of media.
You could literally message anyone on my Facebook friends list (--Alien! or otherwise) and get a fresh perspective on me, my music and my world. Even those who say they don't know me. We know people in common. Mutual friends, and Mark so delicately put it.
The main social media app that I use is X/Twitter. I have good engagements with new and powerful people, as well as get realtime, up-to-the-minute updates on what's going on in the entertainment business. The question is, do I still care? Of course I care about the individual in the biz, but the overall system needs to be refined. Everyone complains about the same thing, and no one is beyond it.
Apparently, M.I.A. went live and said she "doesn't have to give thanks to Beyonce". This is a common complaint among the women in "The Industry". At this rate, M.I.A. has to decide whether her peace and peace of mind is worth continuing in professionally. If you're asked to sacrifice something/someone, it's pretty much guaranteed that you will gain from it. The question then becomes, how much will you miss what you sacrifice?(.)
I got asked to sacrifice something, and I didn't. This is why I am not where you think I should be. Point blank. And should you enter the entertainment business, expect it. And anyone who makes you feel bad about putting your ethics first, leave them right where they stand. Nevertheless, if you should accept the sacrifice, be a G. Walk with pride, because you are on the upper echelon.
In a sense.
