Today's date is March the 1st and I'm writing to you after a long respite from any activity on this website. This is not going to be the case any longer. The truth is that after many months of transitioning out of the J.O.B. world and into the scary realm of self-employment I have come to learn one simple thing. YOU MUST ACT! You must put away your negative emotions, your tendency to procrastinate and you must tune your thoughts to the rhythm of production and prosperity. Or you'll just waste away. These are the things I've learned and taught myself during the transition.
I had been downtrodden by a few things which prevented me from being as productive and active as I'd like to have been, but those times are over.
The first order of business to discuss is my new company, "The Video Guy".
I spent 3 years at the Art Institute of Las Vegas learning Digital Film Video Production and I've used a lot of that experience to create author videos for my lifelong friend, Chris Philbrook, Author of 'Adrian's Undead Diary', 'Tesser', and the Elmoryn Trilogy. I then used my skills to create music videos for my music project, 'Triggerfist' and NOW, since I've also obtained my bachelors degree in Marketing, I am working for myself as a video production and marketing agent. Wish me luck! The more business I do, the better it gets, as I am able to purchase higher-end equipment and eventually hire a crew.
Secondly, for those of you who are wondering if I'm still doing that "music thing" the answer is YES! The Triggerfist project is well in order, we have 6 new songs that are undergoing the editing and master mix phase. I'm going to be cutting videos for those as well, so look for them when I post them.
Thirdly, I've taken a break from writing, although, the rewrite of Subject 15 is being laid down on the SUBJECT 15 website chapter by chapter in case anyone cares to re-read, and read the BRAND NEW extra cool and bodacious content that I've written. I also have a published short story in Chris Philbrook's Anthology 'Only the Light We Make' There are a bunch of great ZOMBIE stories in that book which you'll love so check it out! More will be announced on the writing block in due time.
Lastly,
I want to say this, and this is very important to me... it's time that we the people, begin to unite. There's been so much division in the world lately that people have become emotionally ill. In almost every headline there is an exclamation about why we should further divide, but I tell you this; do not listen to headlines, listen to your heart, hopes, and your family and friends. Listen, but do not judge. Disagree, but do not hate and let's all decide, that we're going to get along again.
No matter what is happening, whatever you believe in, whatever they believe in, no matter where you are or who you are, let's not go around trying to find what is wrong with everybody else, but instead, let's discover what is right. Find the RIGHT in things and solve disagreements with LOVE. That's all I can say on that.
Until next time...
Much Love
Joe
