#Hollywood by Dae Bogan

Everyone out here is trying to be somebody,
Trying to accomplish something,
Trying to make it.

We accept hardship as part of the journey.
We reason with set backs.
We swallow failure.

The goal, the hope is that we will progress.
Against the odds, we will break through.

We hope to succeed beyond our wildest imaginations,
But we are prepared to settle for just enough to keep us solid.

We have doubt.
We have fear.
We have denial.

And then…and then we have moments of enlightenment.

We are surrounded by failures and success stories.
We are constantly battling our own growth trajectory.
Our own insecurities and our own limitations are shackles to our efforts.

We know life would be easier if we retreated back to our hometowns,
But we have too much pride,
We have too much ambition,
We have too much perseverance to do that.

Besides, we just aren’t cut out for that life.

We are entertainers.
We are creatives.
We are agents of fantasy.

All we want is for people to like us for who we are,
Like us for what we do,
Like us for what we represent.

And all we want is to entertain You.

One day we’ll look back at this era of hustle and say,
Wow! That was the easy part.

Entrepreneurs. American dreamers.
Startup junkies. Go-getters and visionaries.
Slaves to a cocktail of intuition, logic, and the freedom of expression.

Creatives. Savvyists.
We desire and fear growth.

With every day of growth,
The intensity of accountability,
The pressure to set and reach higher expectations,
Increases exponentially.

But at last, this is what fuels the entrepreneurial spirit.
This is what entrepreneurs do.
This is who entrepreneurs are.
Game changers. Entrepreneurs.

Looking Back: 10 Years Of Los Angeles…

BEFORE THE BIG MOVE, I had visited Los Angeles only twice. The first time was for orientation at California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA). I had applied in summer 2003 after receiving notice that I was not accepted to my dream school, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I had never heard of Cal State LA until one of my best friends told me they were still accepting applicants. Immediately, I went online, applied, and was accepted. It was a desperate and hopeful attempt to go to college anywhere in Los Angeles so that I could be closer to Hollywood–the land of dreams.

10 Years In Los Angeles: The First Big Milestone

image

Today is a very special day for me. Ten years ago today–December 4th, 2003–with a one-way ticket, $500, some clothes and a mission, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. Although homeless and unemployed when I arrived, I hit the ground running towards the first few steps that have become an incredible journey of peaks and valleys. I’ve met some of the most amazing and douchiest people in the world, experienced some of the most awesome opportunities and depressing hardships, and have accomplished a few cool things along the way. It is far from over, far from peak, but this 10 year milestone is nothing short of awesome sauce!

On Katy Perry’s ‘Prism’ Lackluster Sales And The Luxury Commodity That Is The Album

“The album is dying in front of our eyes,” says music analyst and critic Bob Lefsetz. He asks, “what kind of screwed up world do we live in where Katy Perry’s new album Prism sells only 287,000 copies in its debut?” and answers, “One in which everybody’s interested in the single, and no one’s got time to sit and hear your hour-plus statement.”  Read More…
