Being Myself Expressive Blogging Away

 As Shia L. Said... JUST DO IT! Don't let dreams be dreams! Don't just sit there & do nothing, Do something!

Feel the urge to speak my mind, for what I hope to envision a better future within my generation, the generation of entertainment, for those that cares to get paid to play videogame, draw, do music, etc full-time. I disagree in general that the reality should not be one-sided grossly on technical jobs like computer science, medical, anything engineering, warehouses... I don't want to see nor hear the cliches of an stereotype Asian parent say you going to college to be a doctor or lawyer shet. An individual has the right to pick their own careers or choose to live a poor life. That is how I see America, the land of freedom.

I have blindly applied to various jobs on Indeed as well digging deep into possible too-good-to-be-true misleading email job market searches that I see on YouTube or off Google searches where they are saying data entry jobs are hiring. I stand strong to hope I can get jobs to where I can work from home to freely write my stories at the server's hourly wage of $2.30 part time & pick my own hours or shifts. I stand strong to verbally fight & express a staggering change to see Animetown come to life at this year! To see a change in YouTube TikTok and social media monetization programs be changed to where content producers are paid for numbers of tangible video contents are published not dependent on subscriptions or followers that are beyond one's control.

I have taken actions on expressing via multiple Livestreaming to promote Animetown and artistic careers to balance out the technical careers, because art do exist & it is a thing. There should be more of it. It should get more publicity & coverage. Shine light of recognition about it. I ain't alone that there are certain people that don't like their 9-5 jobs, but have to in order to make ends meet or suffer being homeless or starving artists. Which I see the entity of reality utterly depressing that it has to go that way

I that I can see myself in a minor position of power as the 7th Seat to do something to make an impact in the general public community. It would be a pleasure to witness preservation of the anime culture & Jpop fandom in a year-round permanent place & space, with some of my own contributed efforts!

Mind you, I Tai N. will NOT do it for money or anything related to , I want the fame, the clout, the press, podcast, I want to spread the movement & to recognize all undervalued underrated artists, content creators, struggling businesses in arts or so to stand up for what they believe in, as an ever evolving universe, to revolutionary change the game of businesses. Almost anything is possible when you put your thoughts into it.

Keeping the peace , I don't support hate in general nor violence in any manner! But when expressing by mouth of words- I strongly do vent & stressed to make a difference and Impact in the general public of the world in hopes to promote Animetown. Project Animetown. Creating a solid robust career job opportunities for those including myself to open more anime businesses around Central Texas especially ATX Pflugerville Round Rock around there, as well more flexible artistic careers! Then to change the monetization ordeal to where numbers of tangible amount of video contents can make pennies not the required amount of subscriptions or followers! #letfreedomring #equalemploymentoppotunities #animetown #publicity #makevoiceheard

And that's the memo.

Love my slim Jim's. Setting the facts straight for me.

I hope to see robust amount of anime businesses & artistic careers blooming in Central Texas especially ATX Pflugerville Round Rock around there! I hope to open more opportunities for those seeking a big deal of entertainment careers lowering to anime or animation careers then precisely your whatever core careers pursuit as the final bullseye

Again, my core and finalizing career will be animation- animator. 2D animation like Monty Oum-Rooster Teeth's RWBY. I see myself trying hard to get there.

Staying updated as usual. The real me Tai M. Nguyen would usually update profiles and posting contents like news I want to push and continue to express strongly that like MLK Jr. I have a serious strong dream that hopefully I can see a thriving successful booming businesses of anime & artistic careers coming to Central Texas especially ATX, Pflugerville, Round Rock around there! I hope to see the successors of both @OoplesAnime & @Animepop in Austin, Texas. I also hope to see a big change in YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and many related social media that do video content monetization to change the whole followers-subscribers fanbase earnings to numbers of dedicated contents being uploaded especially if it takes time to edit and refined. A big change & to change the influencer careers to support growing undervalued and underrated content creators trying to get their foot through the door! I hate my job and I want to make a huge difference for those that also hate working a boring 9-5 gas stations, fast foods, office, warehouse jobs. I stand & support Project Animetown! I hope and pray to see that effort made reality!

It was nice to spend time W/ friends, but all of this doesn't contribute to making money to survive or to progress further into my life goals towards a dream career field I hope to pursue nor to get ahead in life of prosperity and success. I don't want to fall too behind in life in comparison to other people that I used to worked with or known from conventions or school.

I don't like how MMORPGS like Aura Kingdom, Onigiri, Black Desert Online, World of Warcraft, Mabinogi, & Genshin Impact the community are just worse! Bunch of lazy-ass afkers and idle players! I hate that!

Need to see MMORPGS do something about players going idle for long periods as it ruins the fun for those taking the game seriously. I myself was a productive proactive player that Doesn't AFK & helps players. I do play the game.

Continuing to promote and spread the word of message across social media platforms about Project Animetown similar to Chinatown where series of shopping strips are full of anime businesses around the plaza. Hope to see that be made reality

I hope to see a huge change and a broad incite of messages be made revolutionary to change the whole artistic careers to where more people of various artist backgrounds are accepted and recognized for their time & effort! Including video content monetization not limited to only followers and subscribers.

I  to thy Lord and hope to see vibrant businesses of anime, arts, and better 1099-gig opportunities flourish within Central Texas especially ATX! I hope to spread and send messages across the internet to create trending movement for better recognitions to all the hardworking artists, painters, models, cosplayers, musicians, singers, writers, animators, photographers, video makers, filmmakers, & any other super competitive and biased fields to be blessed with financial support.

I want them all recognized and credited for the time put into making such work! I want to see many monetized platforms changed on building followers or subscribers, get rid of it!

So again, I hope to see Project Animetown be made a reality, I want to see a large plaza of shopping strips full of anime themed venues! I want to see more open artistic careers and 1099-side gigs. More flexible be your own boss work however hours as desired kind of positions.

Lord hear my prayers! 

As we move into 2025, I find myself continually expressing the importance of addressing the challenges that creatives and dreamers face in today’s reality. The world is rapidly evolving, and with it, I hope to see a surge in anime-focused businesses and more equitable employment opportunities for artists across all fields. Whether you’re a painter inspired by the legacy of Vincent Van Gogh, a musician with the timeless brilliance of Beethoven, a 2D animator, a commission artist, or a writer like myself or Edgar Allan Poe, every creator deserves a chance to thrive—not just survive.

The notion of the “starving artist” should no longer define the experience of those who bring beauty and innovation into our lives. I firmly believe in fostering an environment where artistic and creative careers are supported with fair opportunities, financial sustainability, and respect for the immense value they bring to our culture.

It is with this vision that I champion initiatives like Project Animetown, which seeks to build and expand creative opportunities within the anime and Japanese pop culture community. Supporting such projects is vital for ensuring that emerging artists and established professionals alike have access to platforms, partnerships, and networks that empower their creativity without being burdened by undue competition or favoritism.

By advocating for more inclusive and robust systems that uplift creative individuals, I hope to inspire a brighter future—one where talent and passion are met with meaningful opportunities and tangible success. Together, let’s pave the way for a world where artistic careers are celebrated and supported, and where anime culture continues to inspire and connect communities.

Promoting myself in pursuit of a better career- well a challenging breakthrough considering how challenging it is to get foot through the door and not enough or robust amount of artistic career paths given. I pray to thy Lord to grant more opportunities to the world here in America! Land of the free, home of endless opportunities as they say. Life, liberty, & pursuit of happiness.

To the common community public of the universe and internet! Sending another expressing message in hopes it gets shared & spread far across the cyber world of social media.

I hope to see a new incline of anime businesses around Central Texas especially ATX Pflugerville Round Rock around there. A series of shopping strips within the plaza similar to Chinatown where I dub it Project Animetown. I hope to see vast entertainment and fun artistic careers blooming. To see video contents monetizations requirements changed that are more within content creator's control not the viewers or potential followers-subscribers that can also do the opposite. Need to be like XHAMSTERS. To seek partnership and get paid.

I pray for a huge change in the job market industries. I hope business leaders CEOs, chairmen of cons can fulfill Animetown & open up new anime retail stores or hangout joints! I want to be in a position of peace, otaku paradise not stuck with machineries-conveyance, or a bunch of groceries & bland surroundings.

And that is the memo

I sincerely hope to one day find my own island, beach, amazon rainforest or jungle, or altogether hope to find my own paradise!

    My core and prime objective I want to major in is ANIME ADAPTATION PRODUCTION or to produce my own animation like Monty Oum-Rooster Teeth's RWBY & many anime from Crunchyroll-Funimation, Sentai Films work, & Studio Ghibli movies.

The avatar stages to make an anime or movie or television show series at least what I know: creative writing or script-scene writing, 2D anime art drawings, art in motion animating, voice acting or lip syncing, audio-visual background music or sound effects, mix them together= anime or movie.

With ChatGPT within my grasp, I have obtained knowledge to write stories, create image illustration, & scratching the surface into animation. I just need a free AI music website and a AI voice to blend them altogether. Did my further research on what I wanted to study or major in college & to debunk finally on how much it would cost me to move forward with college. Well for around $1200 ain't that much to me especially if I have tuition reimbursement benefit from Amazon that doesn't scare me.

Love to promote other small commission artists, but I have limited funds and on tight budget. I am letting to all commission artists know that I hate being a starving artist but if that be the darn case then so be it, I will lead by example that with ChatGPT on my side; I write stories and commission stories for free with your OC. I love writing, with such intense strong passion, I love writing! I love to build some sort of traction with the buzz traffic in promoting my content my works in what I personally enjoy doing given the free time! I love writing stories!

I will express the thoughts in open public-

I know I have been highly vocal & outspoken about this a part of my 2025 NY resolution goals and promises that I will be committing to what I call the "Education Arc" season for me.

Going to college & maintaining a solid education until I either go home with a Master's Degree or enough knowledge know-how to produce my own animation. I will be going full-time to make up for not attending back in 2012.

I will not sit around watching those about to graduate or those already in a high successful careers of their dreams get more ahead while I fall further behind in life.

I will be putting my education before friends & leisure fun, and I like to be left alone to study in peace .

Proud to be me, showing my natural beauty of my entire hideous Asian guy male body with a handsome smile. While I make the effort to exercise and to sharpen appearance- for general models of those daring to break into careers, these aspiring future generations of models deserve praises, recognition, & the reward for motivation if they slim down or fix their mottled skins.

I got moderate to severe acne lesions all over my body, hyperpigmentation or dark spots, blemishes, scars, & burnt marks, bruises, scratches, & old wounds.

Still I love to go clothing optional to feel free, be free, & let free! Taste of pure freedom!

You can judge me but the smartest IQ of a person would understand that there is no higher honor to put someone down like that.

Shout out & credit to Playerfour64/Calamari Cosplay for setting this arrangement between me & my wife @Asuna500/Asunaknee45/AsunaRose44 at the time of this event taken place. Has been like 3 years since I declared engagement to my wife. While relationships are not perfect when challenging the natural hardship of the real world, communication & the free-choosing to cooperate to adhere to what is communicated are what matters. Tis same goes when in social setting or at businesses, if you refuse to cooperate than there are consequences for insubordination.

I listened to what matters not over spilled milk , not something that is worthless. I value my family as well seeking higher prosperity and success keep survive the worst time of future poverty & financial depression.

Amen!

Furthermore; in addition to strongly advocate those with such interest and passion to fulfill your own dream career goals- I want to express that I understand the definition of "Starving artist" & one legend back in the 1800s era, a painter who was depressed named Vincent Vangogh. Or within my dream career fields as a creative writer author; Allan Edger Poe. my family has been telling me this that it is hard to get into such fields as less than 10% are admitted. I don't enjoy working at a boring technical jobs like McDonald's or a gas station. Time to change the percentage to a bigger amount... Political time, spread it like wildfire. Send the message to the government. 2025 is the year that artists will be recognized and known for their hardwork!

It is sad that artistic careers are competitive way back & to those that choose to not work a sustainable 9-5 regular 40-hour jobs live a poor saddened life. It is depressing!

That needs to change! I suggest to FLSA if servers gets paid $2.30 an hour, why not use that to compensate the aspiring artists? I would love to get underpaid a waiter's salary writing my stories.

I want to fight to start recognizing all legitimate & dedicated artists in general especially those that practice, edits, & put time-effort.

Same for content creators, Livestreamer, photographers, general models, actors or voice actors. Change in the following-subscribing fan base building. More rewards for content publication less demand of building follower counts.

While it was fun going to cons and various events; that will change as I promise myself and to my immediate family members that I will be pursuing a higher education in college to art of institutions to fulfill my personal ambitious intent to become a creative writer to anime producer. Invoking my own policy safe-space bubble called the "Education Arc" of my own chapter. Going as far to reach a Master's Degree or enough that I have the know-how to produce my own anime adaptation of my fanfiction stories.

I won't rest until that is achieved. I won't be spending time going out of my way driving my car-ass to other friends' events or such. I don't want to be stuck working at any boring 9-5 daytime jobs that isn't entertaining or anime-oriented.

Repost as general awareness, 2025, there still be con artists and scammers alike to this day. I can't understand why corruption exists but this is one bad education to not ever learn at all.

As a reminder in general regarding scams as an artist of sorts

Beware of Scams and Dishonest Commission Artists: A Guide to Protect Yourself

The rise of digital platforms has provided incredible opportunities for artists and clients to collaborate globally. However, this accessibility has also opened the door to scammers and dishonest individuals posing as commission artists. Whether you are a seasoned buyer or new to commissioning art, it's essential to recognize the red flags and protect yourself.

Common Scams to Watch Out For:

Fake Portfolios and Stolen Art. Scammers often steal artwork from legitimate artists and claim it as their own. They showcase impressive galleries to lure clients but fail to deliver original pieces.

Tip: Use reverse image search tools to verify if the artwork exists elsewhere under another artist’s name.

Requesting Full Payment Up front while some artists require partial payment upfront, scammers often demand the entire fee and then disappear without delivering the final product.

Tip: Reputable artists typically ask for a deposit (30%-50%) and the rest upon completion. If full payment is necessary, ensure it's through a platform with buyer protection.

Extremely Low Prices. Scammers may offer commissions at prices far below market value to attract quick transactions. This tactic often results in subpar work, stolen art, or no product at all.

Tip: Quality art takes time and effort. If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Poor Communication and Rushed Deals. Some scammers pressure clients to make decisions quickly, avoiding in-depth conversations about the project. This rush can lead to misunderstandings, incomplete work, or abandonment.

Tip: Take your time. Professional artists are usually willing to discuss project details thoroughly.

Solicitation and Cold Messages Scammers often send unsolicited messages offering commissions. They may aggressively promote their work or request quick payments.

Tip: Be wary of random direct messages from unfamiliar accounts. Research their profile, reviews, and client feedback.

Protecting Yourself:

Research the Artist: Look for social media presence, reviews, testimonials, and community engagement. Established artists often have portfolios on reputable sites.

Use Secure Payment Methods: Pay through platforms like PayPal, Ko-fi, or Etsy, which offer buyer protection in case of disputes.

Sign a Contract: Even a simple written agreement can outline the scope, deadlines, and payment terms, providing legal backing if necessary.

Ask for Progress Updates: Reputable artists often share work-in-progress shots. If the artist avoids updates, this could be a red flag.

Check References and Feedback: Past clients’ reviews can reveal an artist’s reliability and professionalism.

What to Do if Scammed:

Report the Incident: Notify the platform where the transaction took place. Many websites have policies against fraudulent behavior.

Leave a Public Review: Warn others by sharing your experience on relevant forums, social media, or review sites.

Seek Refunds: If payment was through PayPal or similar services, file a dispute to reclaim your funds.

Supporting Honest Artists:

By staying vigilant, clients not only protect themselves but also foster a safer, more ethical art community. Building long-term relationships with reputable artists helps combat scams and supports genuine talent.

Remember, protecting yourself isn’t about mistrust—it’s about informed decision-making. A little caution goes a long way in ensuring a positive and fulfilling commission experience.
