Hi Datalounge Family and Cody Deal loyalists:
It has been raining cats and dogs these past few days here in Wichita, Kansas. But despite the barrels of rain falling on our heads, the weather has been spectacular.
Two years ago, at this time, I was visiting New York City. The cold weather from Winter really had just started to clear and I toured the city for two weeks, running into a lot of my awesome followers, and enjoyed site seeing and everything the concrete jungle had to offer.
This time also marks the world premiere of my Syfy Original Movie, Almighty Thor, which premiered on the Syfy channel on May 7, 2011 to 1.7 million people, eventually being on Netflix for 3 years, and aired in over a dozen other countries to millions more. It was a small, but unrealistic dream coming true.
The prominent seasons of Kansas remind of life's fragility and that nothing lasts forever. It is why I make happiness my key mark rather than fame and validation. It's why I'm an outside-the-box thinker, and don't stay accustomed to social opinion. But, at the same time, social opinion has kept me playing small for the past 5-8 years, a cycle I try to break, but continuously fall flat on my face. I have realized, no matter how good of a person I try to be, or my good intention, the world is set up to destroy each other. Just look at our politics. The constant slander and the unparalleled intrusion on privacy is keeping good people running for office. I would say all of this is also keeping good people from being BIG. If you want to be BIG, you have to ready. Because, now more than ever, people in droves will want to metaphorically decapitate you and try to take it all away from you.
I am still planting seeds here in Kansas, trying make the things that happened in my life make sense, and to continue to believe that the world IS a good place and that it's just those who inhabit it who are lost. It is why people who are good people, now more than ever, must step up and have the backbone to take the slings and arrows. We need more people to share love, compassion, empathy, and kindness.
I cannot sit behind a 'good boy' image of positive motivation guy when I've done XXX videos and Patreon. But I can just be ME, and show that you can be a intelligent charismatic philanthropist but also be a sex symbol and honor what the world wants out of you (the skin) and honor your heart (making the world a better place). I am trying to bridge the two, but society makes it difficult. But, what I am realizing it is less important how I do it, and more important being authentic. The right people will notice and reward you for it, and the others (back to my main point) no matter how much goodness you have in you, will pain you like a bad guy.
