Hello friends, fans, and family, 
I hope that your day is going well. First I want to start off by saying this has been a crazy two weeks, y'all. My computer failed, also know as crashed and my studio recording devices quit working also known as broke, haha. I have done what I could y'all. I am beyond frustrated. I have not been able to do any gaming and I was getting ready for my big push to become a Twitch.tv affiliate and putting out more YouTube videos as well. All of that is on hold now because all of my devices is not working, out of service, hahaha, it's broke y'all... I know I am venting in my words here but that is okay. Releasing of stress in this form is good. I also workout and jog and do stairs steppers and all of that, haha. I digress, In lue of all of this I decided to do some spring cleaning and get set for when my computer get out of the shop. I will still post some videos from my phone to YouTube but I like adding my graphics and stuff, hehe. 
          I am using my friend's laptop, some of you may not know what a laptop is, haha, but that's okay. I am going to do what I can from this laptop but all of my graphics that I crated and purchased over time was on my computer, ya know, so, back to square one on that. I should have had some backup files... hmmm, note to self, get back up hard drive or backup to cloud, yeah. Okay, my music that I created for my song was on my computer and that is now gone so I am going to have to recreate that as well. I am not sure if I am going to be able to recreate it as it was. 
          Wow, I got a lot of work to do once I get my computer back, huh. In addition to that I am the owner of the Sea Wheat Store, I am promoting that as well, not to mention the OBO Blog and YouTube channel.  I maybe doing too much?! Huh. Well, the way that I have it set up it should not be too much on me... most of which has been pushed back to next year and just once a month when i am able to do it. I may, if I am able higher some writers like I have done in the past this will decrease the load on me and give other people a chance to showcase there writing talents. What I may also do is higher some virtual assistants to help me out in various areas. So, that is my plan in a nutshell and as always is it all subject to change without notice, on a wim even, haha. 

          But seriously if I am able I will higher some help, I will. I look for help in many different areas, as I mentioned before, writers, virtual assistants and more over time. Thank you for all of your support and love you all are awesome. You are... You are awesome for who you are not just for being an excellent support of me, haha. 
          I am going to close with, things will happen that will knock you off of your feet. However, it is your choice whether you decide to stay on the ground crying or if you are going to get back up and keep trying. People are not going to blame you for wanting to stay on the ground. They might even be a little relieved because they don't have to face you in the proverbial battle.  So, in that I say, fellow Fire Hawks, Team Fire Hawks, On Fire for....
Welcome to the Fire Nation - Team Fire Hawk! Haha, 8010az and peace, much love. Stay Strong, Stay Focused and Stay Motivated

Hello friends, fans, and family, 
I hope that you are having an awesome day. Thank you for your support and thank you for your feed back and love. You are awesome and a motivation to me. Thank you. I am totally honored to have you in my life, and community. I have a lot to learn and I am working on it every day. 

I have been working on my new Christian single which will be apart of my gospel EP which I am expecting to release next year December 2019. I am doing this through CD Baby which is an awesome platform. They are great people, and they give you tools that will aid you every step of the way in your creation processes. I have been with CD Baby for a very long time. So, admittingly so, I have made my fair share of mistakes. Every time I see some of my music I see the mistakes that I made in that processes. Some I was able to fix over time and others are just reminders of my learning of that time period. 
So, I am going to strongly suggest that you take your time and take a break from time to time if nothing else to regroup and refocus. Some of my mistakes was nothing more than fatigue, in short I was tired. If I had take some time to regroup and refocus I would have caught those errors. 

I started an online store and I would like for you to check it out. If you like night lights and watches then this is a great sight for you. We even have clothes and sun glasses. 

In closing, I will always encourage myself and you should always encourage others as well as yourself. Yes, life is hard but if it was easy we would not appreciate it. I will always encourage you, hopefully, either through, my writings, my music, my clothes and my sayings. I want you to be encouraged. You must also encourage yourself. I believe in you. You must believe in yourself.  Thank you again for being so awesome. Checkout the Sea Wheat Store and my CD Baby Page. I am hopeful that you will like it enough to make some purchases. Not just to help me but to also encourage yourself. 

 ​ Hello friends, fans, and family, 
thank you so much for your support and love. You are so awesome. Thank you for being a part of the Fire Nation - Team Fire Hawk! You are excellent. Okay, I pose the question which platform is good for streaming? When I say that I mean like full time YouTuber and/or D-Tuber / Streamer. I am a part time streamer on Twitch as 8010az - Da Fire Hawk. I have seen Twitch streamer's go from part time to full time like, Bass Corn Bread he is an excellent streamer on Twitch. I am learning how to balance my online career with my real life. This is very important to me. I felt bad about all of the breaks that I had to take from my stream and video creation because of my real life. I think that I am finally getting to a point in all of this where I feel it is finally going good. Honestly, I have a lot to learn, still but I am on the right path, finally.
          I lost some subscribers from YouTube and D-Tube because I was trying too hard. I was putting out three videos a week and blogging and artwork and streaming on Twitch. I changed my Twitch streaming schedule to Sundays just one day a week. My live viewers are finally starting to grow. You can find me on the CGN network and on Twitch and on the main page of the IME Website. I was also trying to write on Vocal which is a great platform, but I was doing way too much so I was burnt out and failing in my everyday life. To gain a better understanding of what I am talking about checkout this video. (Click Here)  
     In addition to streaming for hours upon hours a day I was also creating videos for two different platforms and blogging. Please, don't misunderstand, I enjoy doing what I do and the best part of it all is being able to make my own schedule. I got a little depressed because some of my friends died over the last ten months and I was having some personal problems. To add to this, I take my work very seriously and when I started losing followers and subscribers on Face Book, YouTube and D-Tube, I was downtrodden. I always want my friends, fans, and family to enjoy my work. I want all of my supporters to get something out of my work every time. However, I do understand that this is not always going to happen, but this is what I want. Yes, it's a recipe for disaster, haha. So, I am managing my time better and I am prioritizing. My friend Savo shared something about doing what you really want to do in life. If you really want to do something you can, and you should, and people do make that time to do that something.  
         I needed to regroup and refocus and decide what I really want to do. It is not about the money but at the same time the money is needed to live and pay bills. Ah, that is the truth, money is needed. I believe that when people say that it is not about the money I think that they are saying it is not only about the money. I believe that they enjoy doing what they are doing because they love doing it. So, in that you have to understand that, there will be times when that streamer may not see the money coming in. They may have to get another job, and readjust there hours so that they can continue streaming, and making videos, and doing artwork, and continue to blog. Twitch, YouTube and D-Tube are great platforms to do all of this. 
          Anyone who worked with me on any of my projects know how hard I work and know how hard it is just to put out one video much less do that and stream and blog and do acting and do artwork. It can be overwhelming if it is not kept into prospective. So, what I needed to do is decide on my priorities, and the question came up about which platform should I focus on, YouTube or D-Tube? Growing on YouTube can be very difficult, and D-Tube is new. So, which platform should I focus on? Also will my content be relevant and accepted on D-Tube. I placed some test videos on D-Tube and I continued with some videos on YouTube and my channel started growing but no interaction thus no likes and no comments on either platforms. D-Tube pays for comments and likes or up votes. So, I feel bad asking for likes and comments on D-Tube because it seemed like all I wanted was the money. However, I really want to hear from my viewers. I want to know what they have to say about my topic and my video(s). 
          I've decided to put out one video per platform per month. I changed this from once a week because I was burning myself out again. It does hurt when I put so much effort into my videos/Streams and no viewers, no views and no comments. The best way to not burn myself out is to do it in a progression that will allow me the time to do great work and recover. Even though I am doing two videos per month it is still pressing on me to do something once a week because I felt like I should be doing more. So, yes, you guest it I decided to do both. 
          Please, keep in mind that I am doing two videos, streaming, blogging, artwork, and all of the background work as well as editing. So, I am doing a lot, but I still felt like I should do more. My goal was to see if I could do this full time and I would base this off of interactions, comments, stream and video engagements and so on. This was my plan but I got nothing; no interactions, no stream engagements, and no video views/watch time and no comments. So, yeah, this was discouraging to me. As a result of that I started watching other YouTubers and D-Tubers and Twitch Streamers to see what they are doing and try to see what is working for them.  On D-Tube the most popular videos where mostly about crypto-currency, followed closely by cooking videos and travel videos. D-Tube Is still young so I expect them to grow and in time maybe my potential viewers/subscribers will find my content of some interest. Yes, there is still hope. Next, I did my YouTube assessment, and sadly the same results. So, now I am thinking that it is me. I am not putting out valued content. I watch other YouTubers and I saw and heard about how they grew their channels. At the time I thought that it was a good idea. So, I implemented some of there strategies and I started losing even more subscribers. I was not growing like I had invisioned, haha.
          This obviously bothered me, after some time, I watched my own videos and try to figure out what I was doing wrong. I also, asked a friend of mine to help me and he pointed out so many things that I could not fix everything in one setting. I decided that I would make a game plan and sick to it. I would fix these issues as I could and I would improve over time. I announced on D-Tube and YouTube that I would only be doing videos once a month. I lost even more subscribers on both platforms, haha. I pondered my decision and I decided to stick to it because I still needed to work, and this is what would be best for me. I would not burn myself out and this would give me more time to put together quality videos which over time I can improve on. 
          So, I decided to do both platforms once a month this way I am not over doing it and I am giving myself enough time. I am doing my blog once a week and I am doing artwork once a week. I am also doing my music once every three months and streaming once a week. I decided to try this plan for 90 days to see if this plan works for me. 
          I am an actor, so, I am doing that as well, ah, when I get work. Because this is out of my control I am adjusting all of the others tasking to this one. Acting or being a professional actor is my main goal. I enjoy doing it all and even though I am not getting any money for any of it right now I am going to continue to do it. That is why people like me say that we are not doing it for the money. I am not getting no money for any of these projects or at least not enough to be of any real value in paying bills.
          Which leads me to my next business venture and this is all about the money, haha. I started an online store and the name of it is: The Sea Wheat Store. The Sea Wheat Store is small and we only have a few items right now but I am hoping that as we gain more sales we will grow as I learn and understand what you the customer want. I am focusing on giving the best quality products and a great online shopping experience. So, please, checkout the Sea Wheat Store and let me know what you think about it. 

          I am going to close with, people are going to always say what you cannot do. However, the honest truth is that it is up to you. If you decide to do acting, do your research, take classes and get it done. If you want to go back to school then same thing, do your research, find courses that you want to do and get it done. No matter how long it takes. I have had people to discourage me and every time I allow them to do that I feel bad and they are bragging to their friends of how they stop me from doing whatever. My realization comes in after the opportunity has passed and the only person hurting and mad is me. So, I say again, don't allow people to steal your dream. Learn, study, do your research and get it done. Thank you for being a part of the Fire Nation - Team Fire Hawk! Have a wonderful and blessed day and welcome to the Fire Nation...

I am always looking for and incorporating your inputs. So, if you like something about the website and don't want it to go away please let me know and I will take that into consideration. If there is a particular product that you want to continue to see and/or purchase let me know that as well.

         You being an IME supporter is very important to me and I want to hear from you, even if you don't want to see any changes at all. Here is my tentative plan which may change depending on your inputs. I am going to discontinue the video/vBlog page, IME Movies, and The JB&I Show page. I am going to Merge the IME Sales page and the IME Amazon Store page so that it will just be the IME Sales Page. I am also going to discontinue the Products page and all of that will be on the Sales page, well, at least a link will be on there. 
         These changes will happen this year and the purpose is to make it more user friendly and make it easier for you to find our products, services, and affiliate links. IME is the company and the brand is 8010az, The Fire Nation, Team Fire Hawk, Isaac M, and of course IME products. We also are affiliates so those products will be on our pages as well. By making the IME website more user friendly you as the supporter can search our pages and find all of the products that you may want to support. You mentioned how hard it was for you to find some of the products that you would like to support and we have heard you. As per your request we are going to keep the stay motivated page, however, be aware  the the load time is going to be a little bit longer due to the fact that we are loading YT videos. 
          Thank you so much for your support and love and I hope that you are having an awesome day. I want to hear from you, ah, tell me what's your favorite product(s) and/or what do you like about the IME website? You can even tell me what you hate about the IME website. Whatever you would like to share with me is good. I want to hear from you. Never forget that it is not always about what you can get out of it but sometimes it is about what you can give and in that you get the most out of it. 

          I am going to close with, things will not always go as you planned it. Be ready for that as much as you can. You will have to adjust but that does not mean that you can not over come it. Be the best version of yourself that you can be even in the hard times. As much as it is about the end results it is also about the journey there. Love y'all. Stay Focused, Stay Strong and Stay Motivated. #staymotivated, #teamfirehawk, #8010az, #thefirenation, #isaacm

Hello friends, fans, and family, 
I hope that you are well. I am working on my first book. It is a sci-fi book and I am expecting it to be completed in about two years so maybe around and about 2020, October it will be done. I will give you all more information on it as I get closer to finishing it. I am also working on my next sing in my gospel ep. I am hopeful that it will be done this year of 2018. However, I am not expecting it to be done until 2019 in November. So, that is what I am working on and its prospective releases. 
They are a lot of great movies that are coming out and that has came out. TV Shows are wrapping up for the most part but they are so good that I think that it is worth watching again and again, haha. Thank you for reading my content and for being such a great supporter. I always read your comments and respond when I am able. So, thank you so much for your support and please continue to comment, like, subscribe and share as well as suggest. 

Today, I want to talk about my fitness goals. I have been doing a fitness program that involves me doing a protein meals during the day and a sensible meal at the end of the day. So, basically protein during the day and a regular meal at the end of the day. All of the water that I can drink, BCAAs and Multivitamins. My workouts are six days a week and one day off. It is mostly cardio but also push-ups, squats, curls, and so on. It is a lot harder than it seems. They are days when I want to just eat what I want but I don't because I have a goal and my goal is to lose at least thirty pounds and build muscle. So far so good and I am thankful that I have such a strong support structure helping me in this effort. 

I am going to close with, times things will be hard and we may not know how to proceed from a recent failure. The best way to do this is one step at a time and one day at a time. Never forget how awesome you are and thank you again for your support. 

Hello friends, fans, and family,
I hope that you are having a good day. Thank you for reading and for being an awesome supporter. You are awesome and just for being here you are a part of the team, Team Fire Hawk! It has been a very busy week for me, but I wanted to take some to encourage you and to thank you for being so awesome and for being a part of Team Fire Hawk. Thank you so much for your support.
Okay, you are going to come into pop-ups in your life often. However, that does not mean that you are not going to be able to stick to your fitness goals. What you are going to have to do is adjust and overcome. Yes, I know that it is easier said than done. I believe that you can do it. You must believe in yourself. I know how hard it is to adjust after you got your flow going and you are in your grove and everything is falling into place then suddenly you must adjust your workout schedule for whatever reason. Maybe you must pick the kids up for practice early or maybe you must go into work early or maybe you must stay later than you normally stay.  Whatever the reason is these seemingly simple adjustments can mess you all up and the first thing that seems to always suffer is your workout sessions.
If you don't workout you will never achieve your fitness goals. You took the time to research, plan and prepare and/or at least you hired someone to do it for you like a personal trainer. So, if you give up now you have wasted your time and money and all that effort has gone to waste. So, what do you do? What should you so? You should adjust your schedule maybe you need to change your workout day(s) and/or maybe you need to work out earlier or later. The bottom line is you must be determined to work out so that you can achieve your fitness goals.
I believe that once you have achieved your fitness goal people are going to be asking you how you do it and/or how did you do it with your work schedule, or with kids, or with all of the pop-ups that you have in your life. However, if you quit and never complete and/or achieve your fitness goals they may not say anything. They might even say something to the affect that you were too busy anyway and/or it was too big of a goal for you to achieve. I don't know about you but that would eat me up.
 
I am going to close with, adjustments are always going to happen from time to time but your determination, commitment, and steadfastness will show once you have successfully completed your fitness goals.  It is my belief that if you continue to try and push yourself and adjust and learn you will achieve your fitness goals. Have a wonderful and blessed day. I hope that I have helped you in some way. Thank you again and take care always.

​Hello friends, fans, and family,
 
         I hope that you are having an awesome day. And if you are not having a good day then I am hopeful that after reading this you will be having an awesome day. I started a new workout routine and food intake program for the purpose of losing weight and trimming up. It is a big thing for me because I love to eat, and I also enjoy sweets. I also developed a community of friends in the place that I ate at. So, I felt compelled to go there and I wanted to go because my friends were there. This became a problem when I decided to eat better and lose weight and to get back into the gym.
 
You see, I could not do both. I could not eat all of the junk food that I wanted to eat while chatting with my friends, and also get back into the gym. Getting back in shape was and is very important to me but I could not go to the gym and eat nothing but junk food.  I tried, yes, I tried to eat junk food and hang out with friends. But one or the other began to suffer. So, I had to make some choices and of course I talked to my friends about it and they said that I should not even try to get back in shape.  Because, I was at the spot in my life where I would not, and I could not change and that I should just gave up.
 
I did have some friends who supported me. But most of them felt hurt because I would not eat all the junk food and drink all of the alcohol that I used to eat and drink. They said, that it felt like I was separating myself from them and that it was weird to have me around them anymore. Honestly, I was trying so hard to be a part of the circle that I have known for so long. So, it was the opposite, however, I found myself talking about my achievements in the gym and I was told that they thought that I was bragging, and I really was not, bragging. I was just, so happy to be back in the gym and to see the progress that I was making in the gym. I wanted to share this awesome information with my friends. In the conversation I quickly realized that the information that I was putting out was not well received or wanted.
 
Some people are born with perfect genetics. They don't have to work hard in the gym to get the body that they want. They can miss a few meals and/or eat all they want that is it they got the body that they want. Or, they can eat all the junk food that they want and still maintain that perfect body. If you're like me then you must work hard, extremely hard. If I had to say something about myself and genetics, then I would say I am the opposite of the person with perfect genetics.
 
Some people tell me that they can't work out and be healthy because of their poor genetics. They tell me that they have or at risk for high blood pressure and high cholesterol and so on. So, I am going to tell you like I told them. You should get approval from your doctor. Get your doctor's advice and even their recommendation(s). Once you are cleared by your doctor to workout, eat healthy, whatever. Then at that moment you have no excuses. So, stop giving yourself reasons to slack off. If you did not work out for three or more days and you’re on your fifth day with no workout, your slacking.  If your fast food day/Cheat day is more than just one day a week, your slacking. If you have gone three months or more and you have not evaluated your fitness program, your slacking. You need to always evaluate your fitness and health programs to see where you can improve yourself and improve the program.
 
I am going to close with, be the best version on yourself that you can be. Your mind set is everything. You must train your mind as well as your body. The most powerful tool that you have in your possession is your mind. Yes, each person is different and yes, it is harder for some people than other people. So, don't worry about them, focus on yourself. Do what you need to do to stay focused on your fitness and health goals.  

Hello friends, fans, and family, 
it is always said that the grass always looks green on the other side, in other terms it always seems like someone else has what you are seeking and just can't reach, for whatever reason. But the truth is, they have trouble too and they maybe looking at you the same way. Thinking that you have that something that they need and want. The bottom line is that you must work for it. Yes, you must earn it, and if you are doing something that you enjoy doing then it is not work. Nevertheless, there still will be days that you will not want to do anything. This process or struggle if you will is something that we contend with when we make a career change, go back to school and a long while off, getting into shape and/or being healthier. 
          You decide the pathway that you are going to take, yes, we all seek advice and hopefully we take advice from people who are trying to help us achieve our goals with good and solid advice but not all of our decisions are going to be great and that is okay. Just, learn from the mistakes and trying to improve. Be the best version of yourself that you ca be. Comparing yourself to someone else is only going to set you back in the long run, yes, it us okay to seek out people that you admire to emulate but know that they have there own pathway and you have yours. Your friend maybe able to lift more weights than you out of the box, do the best that you can and if you don't lift the same amount of weights and/or the same body design that some other person, that is okay too. 
          You should always strive to be the best version of yourself that you can be in anything that you choose to do. If you have a goal and it gets hard to continue to strive forward because you don't feel like getting up in the morning?! Well, to that I say suck it up and get you butt up. You have work to do and you can't get it done asleep in your bed. You may not feel that you can achieve it when you set out to do it, and that it understandable but realize that it is not impossible. Stay focus and plug away at it. Don't lose your focus. You are always going to have distractions, and pop ups as I put it that is apart of life. Those small moments of victory will prepare you for the big moments in life. No matter what you choose to do, fitness, going back to school, starting your own business, you can do it. Just don't give up and keep going. Yes, it is going to be hard and sometimes extremely hard but it is still not impossible. You can do it. 
          I am going to close with, encouragement is hard to come by sometimes. It seems like everyone is waiting for you to fail so they can say that they told you that you could not make it. Even though that does have an effect on you, you still should keep going because you can do it, and the only way that you fail is if you give up. So, never give up, keep going. You can do it, and I believe in you. You must eventually believe in yourself. 

​Hello friends, fans, and family, 
I am going to be starting a new fitness and diet (life style change) I am going to be losing 30 plus pounds. It is not going to be easy for me. I know that I can do it and I am going to bring you all on this journey with me. I have attached a motivating video to this blog. I would like to know how you feel about this post and this video. So, please leave your comments, like, share, subscribe and enjoy. I also have a new t-shirt coming out called fight the laziness. Here is the link for that: Fight The Laziness T-Shirts. Thank you again for all of your support and love. You are awesome. Thank you so much. Team Fire Hawk, of the Fire Nation - 8010az, if you have any questions for me please ask. Thank you again. 
          How are you doing today? Are you staying motivated? Are you staying focused on your fitness goals? Yes, it is going to be hard and if you are already working out then you know it is hard to do. It is not easy saying no to your friends, telling a close friend that you don't want to hang out with them because while y'all are hanging out you all consume too much alcohol, unhealthy foods, and/or sweets. Every once and a while is not bad, right? The problem with that is you will put pressure on yourself to hang out with them, "like old times," and that will kill your workout efforts because you can't consume that amount of unhealthy foods and/or alcohol and get to the fitness level that you want. Your real friends will understand and support you in your decision. However, this fitness effort will change your life. So, that is why I say it is a life style change and you may lose some friends in the process because you are trying to get to a better fitness level. Even though this effort has nothing to do with them, they may see it as a personal attack because you are trying to better yourself and because you can't hang out as much. There is nothing wrong with preparation and setting goals for yourself. Do your research and know what exercises to do to get to the fitness level that you want to achieve.
          There's a free app that you can use to aid you in your efforts in achieving your fitness goals. I think that most people know about this free app, but I am going to mention it anyway; it is My Fitness Pal. My Fitness Pal has been around for years now and it is an awesome resource to help you in your fitness endeavors. My Fitness Pal can help you by tacking your food intake and now you can even add in your exercises as well. Once you register and log in you can add in your food intake, exercises, as well as a blog. There is a community section where you can introduce yourself and talk about your goals as well. You can invite friends and join/form groups to help you.
          Make fitness a part of your everyday routine, not a chore that you have to do for a short period of time. When you look at something as a chore or something that you begrudgingly do causes you to not want to do it and eventually you will stop doing it. Your state of mind is just as important as planning and sticking to it. Once you get your mind set and focused on your fitness goals it will be easier to achieve your goals. So, look at your new fitness goals as a good thing and something that you can do. Once you see yourself doing it and achieving it you will be able to achieve it. Your mind set is very important in achieving your goals. This is no different for fitness goals; having a positive and focused mind is extremely beneficial. Your weekly and daily objectives should progress toward you achieving your overall fitness goals.  
          Diets, in general, have a bad reputation. When most people hear diet they think about something that is a pain to do, and something that does not work, as well as something that does not last long. Not all diet promoters are good; some promoters of different diets are not totally truthful about there diets. They would say or give you, the dieter, a false idea of what there diet can do. Dieting is not easy and if you get an idea that you don't have to workout and/or in take healthy foods, this idea can cause you to lose focus and give you wrong information. But once you realize this and know that once you get your mind right and into a routine, that is going to make it easy for you to lose weight and make gains or get cuts. All of these goals uses different types of "diets" to gain the objectives of what the person wants in fitness. So, diets in themselves are a tool that the person uses to get to a specific fitness level. I choose to call it a life style change because of the changes that you are going to have to make in your life. In the attached YouTube video, I talk about different ways that you can stay motivated and keep yourself focused. It is going to take a conscious effort on your part to stay focused on your fitness goals and celebrate your small achievements.   

Hello friends, fans, and family, 
I hope that you are well and having a good day. So, as the title says, Is Music Important & Relevant? Do we as a people of this world value music as much as it once was? I heard the stories of how music and radio was the main platform for communication and entertainment. To be in radio at that time was an awesome thing. Times changed when the television was introduced into the world of entertainment and communication. At the time there was only black and white TV's but that was more than enough to shake-up and change things in the entertainment world forever. It would never ever be the same.  Now days you can't find a black and white TV on the normal market. You can special order a black and white TV or better said a color TV that has black and white capabilities. My point is that the item that changed the world forever would itself become obsolete. So, now, let us fast forward to present day. Music is still around, and sound is a very important part of film and TV today.
          The music industry has changed a lot over the years and for those companies and artist who don't adapt will die off or reach a plateau that can't be over came by them sticking to the old ways or former forms of promotion and marketing. The internet has changed everything much like the TV nothing will ever be the same again, not even the film and TV industries. My answer is yes, music is still very important to this world. The platforms of promotions and marketing has changed and the ability to download upload and market music has changed and the amount of people that can be reach has change. Sound is fifty percent of film and TV and an identifying mark of all TV shows and/or films is the music and it goes father than that the main character of most movies has there own theme song in some cases it is the theme song of the show but in others they have there own sound/song.
          Music is in every aspect of our lives from joy to pain and everything in between. Hearing music that we can identify with bring us joy and/or remembrance and even pain and sadness. Music will and should forever apart of our lives. So, I solute all musical artist out there. Keep making music even if it is just part time. Because you are giving someone full time enjoyment being able to express themselves through your music.    

I am going to close with people in general hate change and will fight against it for whatever reason. God is good all of the time and all of the time God is good, that is something that will never change, so, in my opinion everything else can change. As long as I can adapt and over come, bring on the change. I am not saying that I won't fight against all changes but I will say I am going to fit myself into that change so that I may survive, haha. Some changes should not be done and other changes should be, so, in that we have our duties.
​          Our duty to analyse these different changes to make sure that it is good for the people and/or good for the long term and not just a short term thing. Most short term changes/solutions is going to do the opposite thing for the rest of the time that it is in existence. So, it is only good for the short term and if not adjusted and/or changed to a long term thing will worsen that situation and/or community. Have a wonderful and great day.
