As I sit at tha "Stop and shop" for lunch ( It's a burrito. this is for you Taco Bell dog) I had a random thought about all of those who either write,sing,dance, perform etc. It takes a lot of guts, courage and downright insanity to want to share your talent wit' a world that's critical as shit.
I sometimes wonder what makes one decide, to get up one day and say "I want everybody in tha world to know I do this" Some may do it because Momma said they're tha best thing since sliced bread. Some may do it for tha monetary gain. Then some actually may do it for.....dare I say it.... for tha LOVE.
You have to rake yourself up into a nice, neat pile to get up in front of strangers and present yourself in a way that 1. People get a gist of where you're comin' from. 2. ENTERTAINING. Tha entertainin' part is always a bitch. Everybody has different tastes in what's entertainin' to them, so it's always hard to win some people over, as well keep others entertained.
That's where tha criticism sets in. Everybody at one point always feels like they can do better than some performers. Here's tha rub... If it's that easy to do it...how come you did'nt jump yo azz onto a stage or start typin' better shit hmmm? Before anyone renders any type of criticism, keep this in mind. No one got up that mornin' and said " I'm not gonna do my best" I would like to think that no matter what you do, you put your best foot forward.
To those that are only in this for tha money...good luck wit that dream. If you think people are tight wit money when it comes to personal finances, It's gonna be a super bitch to get them to part wit tha 15 dollars for your CD, or tha 30 dollar tickets for your tour. That's why tha people who do it for tha love, will always prosper. It's not tha fame or tha money It's tha sheer enjoyment of doin' what you do.
No matter what what you do to entertain others...Do it for tha love first. As for those that sit and pick apart what performers do, here's a thought for you. Can you, in all honesty to yourself put together a skill whether it's singin' dancin' writin' ( Tee Hee) Dj ing etc...and and have tha thick skin to let tha world see it, flaws and all. Hmm...
Hit me up. Let me know what cha think...Twitter me (Mayhemm09) or Facebook me.
