J.M. Matthews: Celebrating 1 Million Creative Content Impressions on Social Media in 2016

Well, I did an analytics count on a calculator, and recently realized that I received my first million creative content impressions on social media analytics this year or last. I got 600k video views on YouTube in Total in the last year and 400k views for my tweets archive. Which amounts to well over 1 million views, or "impressions". I should celebrate And this isn't even counting my books and comics, or blog writing.

"Get a job!" and other things people who are full of shit say

Due to the fact that we have expanding technological markets, new politicians, economies, and types of warfare emerging, U.S. Capitalism is not a stable market currently, hence whites and minorities all having difficulty finding a job.

"Oh, you're poor. Get off your butt and find a job." Riiiight. Cuz it's just that easy, isn't it? Cuz that's why dudes are selling their left testicle for money, right? Cuz it's just that easy to attain money as a liberal in America now.

Such delusional right wing forms of social thought are not only delusionally unrealistic toward the social and economic state of the current U.E. job market, but also dangerous for the U.S. Economy

Crystal Meth in the United States, First and Second Generations (90s and 2000s) or Good vs. Evil

Crystal Meth was an influential drug. It fueled much of the energy in the U.S. music and Hollywood industries. It was also found in A.D.D. medications prescribed to young elementary and middle school children by parents and teachers, when such a drug was considered more socially acceptable and not as linked to Neo-Nazism as it became in the 2002s with Florida Neo-Nazis and Brian Johnston. First wave Crystal Meth: Good. Second Wave Crystal Meth: Evil. The first generation was euphoric, lighthearted, liberal, and happy. The second generation was conservative, slow, and violently sociopathic. Just terrifying. 

Frank Miller Looks Like a Corpse Lately: Art and Mental Health

I'm still relatively young, well younger than alot of other pros in comics, but I'm well past my childhood or adolescence. I'm a young adult. Whether I like it or not I'm starting to realize I need to acknowledge that I'm getting older. Frank Miller is a good example. There's cancer rumors. Have you SEEN pictures of him lately. The guy looks like a LIVING CORPSE. I don't know how old he is exactly, I never even thought about things like that...till I saw what his face looks like recently. There are cancer rumors. It's sad.

I don't know if I'm past my prime, but I'm no spring chicken, plus I've been through a lot of medical trauma and issues in my private life. There's a lot of factors and setbacks in my life and health I don't bring up here. Like the fact that I have gynecomastia and mid level obesity from all that damn medication pills doctors and parents want to force on me.

That was when I realized, it's not just that I "don't have my shit together", I "don't have creativity", "I'm a hack" or "don't have what it takes.". It's all the damn trauma and neurobiological-trauma I've endured at the hands of cruel and abusive people. Medical frauds and whatnot. 

Where to draw your artistic influence from....(should be different for every artist)

My influences didn't start off just anime and manga like it is with a whole bunch kids these days. My influences started off much more diverse and well rounded. You should always try to keep your influences well rounded. Never use anime or manga exclusively as a crutch. I've been thinking of getting back to my American indie comics, superhero, cinematic, animation, and fine art influences. 

Dear Japan,

Dear Japan,

Could you slow down a bit in your comics department? You're tiring us dumb yanks out.

Thanks,

Da States...

Me? A "Famous Blogger"? Get outta town!

I don't know. I have a couple hundred dollars in savings, not much, and certainly not from blog earnings. I don't know why I said that.
