xp_journalIt's our decisions that make us who we are. But sometimes, the range of our decisions... grow limited. Just sometimes.
But.
Some of you have expressed an interest in communication. In reaching out to people via means of mass media. In peaceful activism. In learning how to talk with society to enact changes that might mean a peaceful - or perhaps just a little bit safer - world for future generations. Be they mutants, or not. Because this will affect, make no mistake, everyone, regardless of gender, skin color, age, nationality... or genetic differences.
I cannot be your spokesperson. And trust me, if I could have, I would have offered on the spot - but it would have not been doing you a favor. Not in the least. So I'll try and do what I can instead, and what will serve you far better, for all intents and purposes. I can choose to help you achieve what you want to do. Share with you what I learned, what I know, what I could do were it safe for me and others around me to do so.
I know the entertainment industry inside out. I know how the people in that field think, what they like, what they don't like, what they believe in or don't believe in. I know what they want to hear, and the kind of people they want to promote. I know how to make them want to promote people they don't think they want to promote.
I made it as a singer, and I didn't do it halfway.
And as such, I can offer you everything I learned in the process of forging my career. There are still people who talk to me in the industry, all of them damn fine human beings, and all of them damn good at what they do. They are from every kind of work field you can find there. And I can put you in contact with them. I can show you who to talk to. I can show you how to talk to them. I can show you how to figure out all these things on your own, and not need my help to make it.
I can also, if there are students interested, and I think they are, work on a class about just that. Or hold seminars on the topics you want to see. Introduction to Movie Making 101. Introduction to Schmoozing 101. Introduction to Not Putting Your Foot In Your Mouth 101. If it was part of making a career as a singer, I can teach it to you - and how to apply it to anything else that's related. Ask me to teach you something about what I know best.
I want to show it to you.
What say you?
