    Nice good luck with that m8! Obviously try informing yourself with as much as you can regarding that and do not be afraid to look for help, always gotta have some form of guidance. s--- I wouldn't be half the person I am today if it weren't for those individuals that took the time to help/educate a brother out :mjcry:

    I want to be the best male stripper in Westchester county but my knee injury is getting in the way. I'll probably get surgery next month and be back on the poles by February :mjcry:

    I could maybe go Division 3 with my skill level right now but i would like to go to a pretty big school so idk. i got sick during freshman year and that threw things off but ill see. golf takes so much time and school doesnt really permit that so im going to try the best that i can to play whenever i have down time. im on the school golf team but last year i didnt really play in much of the matches because i wasnt in the top 6 on the team and in hs golf you play your top 6 in matches. i did get to play in some matches, but me being used to being one of the best on my baseball and basketball teams in the past, i got in my head and i started to play really badly. after being at the top of my game in the summer 2 years ago, i went unto a huge slump and didnt play to my ability. this continued on and i was really stuggling but i went to a golf camp at Wake Forest and that helped a lot and i also had some other lessons so im starting to get back on track.

    *I doubt anyone actually cares, but im just bored and didnt have anything else to do but explain this.

    Im taking this thread as a look back kind of thing. This year has been the most up and down its ever been because for the first time i got what i wanted. Popularity, friends, hobbies, things im good at, girls who have made me realize DEEZ hoes are about as loyal as DEEZ nuts when i see my sixth grade social studies teacher...NOTTA! I was hurt this year but i learned to fight and got up more than i ever have faster and stronger each time. Best year of my life by far, but half of it was just pain and misory...Which got me to the position im in. In January if you would have told me in December I'd have it this good i would have shot myself there knowing i was gonna make it to a light at somepoint, luckily i kept going and embraced it correctly. But the thing is...no i am not happy. I always want more, and no not the selfish teen wanting a better phone or clothes that aren't from the salvation army or a new gamin system or whatever, more as in i want better grades, i want MORE friends, I want to live every night LEGENDARY with the same people but always have back up or side people to tag along. I want more attention, i want to get a job next year cause im old enough i want, an actual girlfriend i can devote every melted piece of my heart and time to, and be reassured its worth it. I want my family happy and not how they are. I want stability and i want to make better music. This isn't a new years resolution, this is the new years package....This is


    "The plan"

    I do what I can as far as networking goes, but I know so few people here and it's a small white trash town with basically no music scene.

    We have like 1 bar that does open mic night for rock/metal bands, no clubs, and the only cafe's we have don't have music like that.
    I don't know any DJs to learn from and shadow tho :wth:

    Also another realization I had last night while reading up on it, is that I don't even have the equipment to do it either, and I definitely can't afford it right now.
    You misunderstand... it's not that it's too risky to attempt. It's that I'm basically playing a game I don't know how to play in life and have nothing to really guide me through it, while all my unguided attempts have failed.
    Just because other previously unknown people can manage a way to get exposure doesn't mean I can too. They both blew up for having ridiculous attention grabbing styles (while also biting heavily on what's popular) and the way they look/their videos.

    My music is generally not that accessible, and the main genre's I pull from aren't in style anymore. I can't get videos made (no money, no one to s---t/edit them), so what do I have to get myself out there like that?
    I'm not kidding.

    And is that really so hard to believe? I'm not some social media wizard. What connections am I suppose to have at this point? Because I can assure you, at most I have literally 1 and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere (no offense to CA, he's done what he can).

    I've gotten a bio written up and released an album, tried to submit to blogs, never get a response and they don't take my submission. So there's no exposure there.

    I post here and try to build hype, but very few people actually care enough to listen to my work, let alone comment on it beyond a specific handful that always do.

    I'm always trying to collaborate with other artists I like so I can get extra exposure through their fans, and I can get almost no one who's decent and willing to work with me and my music, and some that do end up backing out on me or not delivering.

    I see the way other people gain followers and plays and try to replicate it on twitter and soundcloud and instagram, so I try to constantly promote s--- and try to follow their model and way of doing stuff, but unless I tag the f--- out of it no one so much as shrugs at it, and the people who do like it never really engage the content (this is especially true on twitter, where I can see my stats for my tweets). The comments are usually unrelated (if I get any) and are spam. A lot of the accounts that follow me only do it for one back and don't actually care what I'm posting, or they're bots.

    I've spent literally hundreds of dollars on ad campaigns across different platforms and gotten nothing but inflated play counts and followers that don't actually look at what I'm doing.

    I've tried kickstarter to get physical copies of an album I just put full time work into over the past 9 months so I could have something to hand out and couldn't get anywhere near the money required to get them pressed. I can't even get cheap copies done up in jewel cases now because I'm so broke... and even if I'd had the money to get them done tho, it'd probably be money down the drain since no one I know in this town gives a f--- about electronic music.

    What else do I do when none of this is really working? I literally don't know. So for the love of all things holy, someone please tell me since this is apparently all just a bunch of excuses, this is clearly all within my control, if only I'd try more!
