Phetasy Resolutions: 3rd Quarter Goals

Processing Request

I’m not giving up on this process--even if the process gives up on me.  I wish you could see me right now.  I’m sitting on my couch, amongst piles of unfolded laundry (of ALL the domestic chores that exist, I LOATHE folding and PUTTING CLOTHES AWAY the most).  I’m streaming my spanking new tunes I added to the Phetasy Hype Station.  I’ve been going non-stop all day long.  My brain started overflowing with ideas and finally I had to just stop and bust this out, for my own sake. 

It’s July.  Nearly August.  Smack dab in the middle of the summer and the beginning of the 3rd Quarter free fall into the holidays.  I’m determined to cut away and take a minute to reassess the situation.  The 2nd Quarter was pretty much exactly as I predicted only I traveled the ENTIRE time instead of just part of it.  So here I am, trying to keep up with my resolution of posting quarterly resolutions. 

Daily “Recent News”:   Ok, now that I’m off Crackbook, (be expecting a blogumn soon about the peace and joy that come from being Facecrack Free), between Twitter and my homepage, I think I have this system down.  Monday through Friday I will be posting something, anything on the Phetasy homepage in much the same way I did Crackbook: random pics, quotes, poems & whatever else happens to be striking my fancy that day.  This also gives you the whole weekend to catch up on your Phetasy reading.  I’ve been pretty good about this daily pointless posting for the past 2 weeks.  The content is very much here today/gone tomorrow because I feel like a friggin’ narcissist if my whole home page is just pics of me, so get it while you can. 

Weekly Blogumn:  Totally blew my last quarter goals on that one.  I posted my 2nd Quarter Resolutions and didn’t post another blog for 2 months.  1,000 lashes it is I guess.  There were a lot of factors influencing this as I mentioned in “The Pilgrimage”, but still… No excuses.  I do want to get in this practice, if only because I feel a billion times better when I sit my ass down and write anything, even if it’s a boring friggin’ To Do List…oh, wait…. 

Monthly Whoroscopes:  Shucks-n-junk.  I can only do so much and that’s the sad truth.  I am not abandoning my efforts entirely, because these fuckers are just pure creative writing at its best and a fantastic way to loosen up the old brainwaves.  I’m just going to do a Summer Edition that will cover my bases through August.  However, I can’t do the Daily Whoroscope on Twitter at the moment--it’s just not realistic.

Quarterly “Casting Couch Confessions”: Our Young Starlet is currently riding the tide to superstardom and has far too much on her plate to be worrying about little ol’ Phetasy.  As some of you may or probably may not have noticed—most of these superfluous Categories are now gone (but not forgotten).  If ever there comes a day when I get to inspire legions of people to write for Phetasy (and pay them) you can bet your bottom dollar you will see the return of many of these former aspects of the site.  I’m an Oprah-wannabe trying to do everything by myself.  This mission is impossible given the current space-time continuum. 

Quarterly “THEM Monthly”:  Even video takes time.  See the above explanation for what happened to this Category. 

Quarterly PHETASY Production:  So we did manage to pull this one off: “Trojan Wars” launched into cyberspace without much fuss from us--as will most of our projects from now on.  A brilliant friend of Phetasy's made us a fancy new bumper for Ghepic Pictures/Phetasy Productions.  Apparently, if you subscribe to the Phetasy YouTube Channel, you'll get updates whenever we post stuff.  Ain't that somethin'!

“Why are you doing this if you don’t want people to see it?” I always get asked.  Let me clear about something—I do want people to see it.  But again I run into the time factor.  Choosing between production and promotion is not Sophie’s Choice.  It’s a no-brainer, because the more ideas I have pestering me, the more frustrated I am.  Phetasy is not the only creative baby I am currently nurturing, although she’s the oldest and the most fucked up.  So I need to devote some time to helping her clean up her act.

I have too many ideas to be spending a single minute more of my life self-promoting.  Long ago, part of the Phetasy Business Model stated that:  “If the people like it, they’ll spread it.”  So, if you like Phetasy or something in particular on this site--spread the message.  Spread the content.  If a blogumn inspires you—pass it along to a friend.  If a video makes you laugh, pass it on to two.  Don’t keep Phetasy your dirty little secret, she deserves so much more than that…Wait—am I talking about my site?  Or myself?  Sometimes I get confused.

Anyhoo…don’t do it for me—do it for you.  The bigger Phetasy gets, the more time I get to spend on her.  Love Phetasy?  Believe in me?  Want to help?  Then do what I can’t do for myself and blow this motherfucker up.  Or, better yet, just tell a few people you think may like it...

As for my web series “HYPE” slated for this summer, well, that deadline is not only unrealistic—the star of my show happens to be one of the kids with whom I work.  She also happens to be turning 18 this October.  So in order to avoid the pesky ordeal of convincing her parents to sign a release, we’re waiting until she can do it herself.

That’s about where I stand (actully sit) on matters (or clothes) at this moment.  My biggest goal for the 3rd Quarter is to get this site (and my whole life) organized, post daily and continue writing in (and about) the process.  That’s the best I can do and, other than a never-ending stream of pictures, it seems to be exactly what the 2 loyal Phetasy readers want.
