So yeah I just decided to write. Not because I’m having some block, but because I like it.
Sure, if I did a song or a video, it could have more reach but I’m not ready for that just right now. I like writing for getting it all out. Business has just gone into overdrive, and everything has switched around again. It’s actually easier for me to make money than it is to make art.
Im thinking the pirate could feed in. The pirate could be a metaphor.
I could also build a pirate ship out of a shopping cart. I could be a hipster pirate that cruises around. Jumping in and out of character from pirate matty to lord jonathon to just me.
But I’ll look for treasure and have adventures and kiddies and hipster parents can enjoy.
And then back to your scheduled reality check point. maybe one episode a month. The pirate intro in the rctv2 episode, and then off on a pirate thing that is very much pirate matty but i can do an episode like rctv2.1 Pirate Matty. Pirate Matty adventures can be little offshoots. Because they don’t have a song it’s just random pirate stuff.
Which is maybe metaphor laden, looking for treasure, in an ocean, then transfering over to a whole lord jonathon special. Maybe Lord jonathon is Pirate Matty’s good twin?
Anyway it’s the next day, I’ve done my pirate adventure for the day and their is another tomorrow.
I’m glad I’ve got a more long term plans for the pirate thing, and I like it, I think it’s a nice little metaphor, the dress up pirate in his shopping trolley pirate ship lost in the big bad worlds of marketing and bass culture.
To me all roads now lead to my agency and my art.
Oh but Auckland, even on a saturday your roads are jammed with lifeless breeding units, mobile human factory farms looking for their prescribed contentment. It’s like as you get older, your feelings are no longer mysterious.
I knew when I was 19 of a feeling that I came to learn was the essence of senesence, of time passing, of passage, the feeling of the passenger, I just didn’t know it. I knew when I was 18, it was the highest I’d climb on a certain mountain, thus my obsession and fetish for “quarterback culture”, that americana thing, how much better can it be to be 18 and have gorgeous young teenage girls fantasizing about you, when you’re really just a kid, it’s it’s own little fantasy world as much as playing indiana jones 10 years previous.
And I guess that’s the crushing anxiety and pressure teens face. They know this is their time. They don’t know, but they sense, like I did, the crushing angst of knowing the die is cast.
you’re a king, forever. Like I said to a gorgeous honey once, some of us have gifts. Most have nothing. Be thankful.
That’s the story, the lows and the highs. It’s not a good story if it’s just about me, and how my business does well, and then my music goes great and I get heaps of chicks. That’s not interesting, there’s no dramatic dynamic.
I think the more video I do eventually, I will build a strong brand to launch my agency on, but ultimately, it won’t be worth much to extend my art into an agency if I can’t really use my art to get through to . . . something, to connect with a vibe.
I guess I see a way to build on what I’ve got, feeding all elements of pirates, video, DJing, into an agency, it’s all about the convergence into one solid concept, that can be worked meticulously.
I don’t know if I’ll be known as a writer, or know as a DJ and producer, but I’ll be doing my thing.
You can’t really argue with the peacocking power of a pirate. The ladies aren’t going to ignore you walking round dressed as a pirate. I was keen as also. I’m just running my business, running round as a pirate, running up the videos and what not, what’s next girl?
I just want to know where the underground is at. Where is the dream of the teenager?
I ask myself if I would swap my money now for that hope. Would I swap back? Or is it alright to know now? Is alright to have your money in your pocket, your sweet ride, all of that?
It’s not even about money, it’s that I done it. I’m still the person who did it, even I lost it all. That’s why the new challenges fill my vision, where are the incredible girls, and where is the underground where the cutting edge vibes are at? That’s what we want.
you’re a king, forever. Like I said to a gorgeous honey once, some of us have gifts. Most have nothing. Be thankful.
