Its more about "GOING HARD, AND LETTTING UP! YOUR GOALS/MISSIONS!" This is can also be used as a powerful learning tool for people of all ages. Saying if you have the drive dont let it go for no one, no matter what they say, feel, think & etc. because at the END of the day is the same as END of LIFE for same as when you came into this world and that was it was YOU by your SELF! SO, you have to maintain for yourself and do what you feel is the best things for you and what ever it is only you can stop your self! I soon to start up a 100% indepedent radio station which will only play new, up & coming & unsign. Every genre (hip hop,blues,rock,rave,gospel,techno,r&b & etc.) of music. I have tons of supporters and tons of againsters (as i call them) because they say why would you just play "NEW ARTIST" and my ans. is simple many reasons why. Every top name artist came into the industry as what? A "NEW ARTIST" and now take a look at "AMERICAN IDOL" (which i have been at each location for season 7) there's millions of artist that needs to be heard-well as seen!! unlike american idol we give every body there fair play to the world! So, if your an artist or a music love check out our site www.newofficialmusic.com and if your a business owner and you need world wide advertisement and you think that radio fee's are way to high then you can come to us and we'll help you as John would say "BECAOME A HOUSE HOLD NAME IN 31 DAYS"!

Then I get to think about it and it's all about the marketing. He says he is doing nothing really to become famous. In reality he is doing a lot of things to become famous. Having a camera strapped to your body and walking around take courage. I say right on John!!!! Thanks for the interview Darren you gave him just one more step to fame.

For bloggers he is taking "viral" to a whole new level and for video bloggers he is making some giant leaps. I also see video on the net as our new entertainment because it's interactive. TV is passe'. John makes some great points about the average person becoming famous and this is similar to bloggers. There are several bloggers who are very average who have become famous in their circles. I actually know someone that works on the Jay Leno show and forwarded John's info and story to them. On a human level John is brave, instead of spending his life as a hack he is following the burning desire inside of him. I think that's pretty cool.

It's not important to me on a personal level - however like I say in the above post I actually see John's quest as being quite similar to the quest that many bloggers are on. He's heading out into a city like New York where he feels nameless and overwhelmed - similarly many bloggers have those feelings when they start out their blog. He's trying to get attention of bigger players - so are many bloggers He's dealing with some of the feelings of awkwardness and worthiness of getting noticed - so do many bloggers who begin to get some notoriety I guess I just saw some parallels between what he was doing in real life and what bloggers do in the virtual world and I thought it'd be interesting to watch how he goes and to see what he learns. I'm also fascinated with the central theme that he's exploring - 'fame' which I think our culture has become rather obsessed with - it is an interesting sociological experiment - whether he gets famous or not. Anyway - if it's not for you, then that's cool too - we have different interests I guess. Helping Other Bloggers – “Why is this important to you Darren ? How would this post help others ?”
