One thing, I find interesting about the Internet, is all the crazy delusions and fantasy worlds that goes around people. A lot of people, want to think they are stars these days, or they just want to be. This post is not aimed at just musicians and bands. This goes for other people who think they have a career in something. This goes for bodybuilder trainers in YouTube, models in Facebook, local politicians, professional photographers, etc. Whatever it is you do, everyone wants to think they are great at something, so they promote themselves to death on the Internet as a way to get their talent out there more.
I understand that these guys want to publicly show off their talents. If you like what you do, please try to understand that the Internet is not going to help you make the big time. Some of the guys even think they are in the big time when they are not. It’s very rare that the Internet makes people famous. If fame is what you want, you must do more work beyond the Internet. Again, this is not just for bands, any career.
Go back to college to study your career dream more, take some classes. Do a lot of reading. It’s a long road to be successful at something and sitting there on the Internet is not going to pull it.
Some will accuse me of thinking I am famous or wanting to be famous, but for you longtime readers, you would know I never thought of myself this way. I leave my ego at the door. The Internet makes it easier for people to pretend they are a celebrity, when they are not. It’s crazy. Everyone wants to think they are a star, because, I blame it on gossip sites like TMZ and such.
A lot of folks on here who think they have a career, think they are something important and special. In other words, they are self centered. They just want to be at the center of your attention at all times, and Facebook is evidence of that. People who run their own like fan pages are crazy. I just read them for kicks, I don’t post on like pages too much.
