I've gotta figure out what's important to me right now, cause it seems I'll start something and then lose passion for it within minutes, what's that a symptom of?
For instance, I use to love podcasting, now, the idea of spending 2 hours preparing a quality 5-30 minute podcast totally seems like a waste of time to me...why is that?
Is it cause I know in the end very few will listen anyways, and even if they do, so what, nothing will change?
But in the past I knew that, but it didn't matter, but now it does and dampens my enthusiasm...why the change within me?, I ask myself.
When had radio show on this online platform, would like pump out 3-4 shows per week, took up all of my time, but now, no way...maybe cause I had 'show schedule' and maybe I do best when 'scheduled' to do something, where as with podcasting, there is no schedule, you just upload show, and hope random people listen to it and or have to promote it yourself, but with today's information flow control, even that can be limiting, so you have to have a personal passion for it, regardless of how others respond to it or how many may read or see it.
I still have that for writing, but not for podcasting, and I wonder why?
Have I given up on others?...do I now only care about myself mainly?
I don't know.
I mean just ordered like $600 plus in broadcast stuff, and have barely touched it.
I guess I'm wondering where that ignition switch is inside of me for certain things anymore.
Like I use to have fun creating You Tube videos, until realize YT totally limits the amount of views you get now, and that they only promote popular videos or those who 'pay to play', so could spend days creating a video and only get 3 views....it wasn't always like that, in the past your video would appear on random searches, now days, on the side bar, you only see 'sponsored searches'...and I find that sickening....the same popular commercialized video get looped over and over again, that's greed for you, and once again the little guy shoved aside, and the ironic thing about it is social media originally created for the 'little guy and gal' who didn't have access to Hollywood ect.
Sadly, today, Hollywood ect, has taken over social media, and once again the little people are shoved aside.
Is that's what has killed my enthusiasm, that new reality?
I don't know, it didn't seem to bug me a year ago..
The ultimate selfish thing for me to do would be to get a very new or brand new sports car and just say 'screw everyone else'...hmm
