Good Morning Nerdfighers
Good morning nerdfighters! It's threeper's day, Julia twenty-nerth. I am the happiest man in the world because you bought this album. Thank you so much! It's really exciting for me to have been able to do this, and to have been forced to create music for so long that now it is just part of who I am. And I can't thank you enough for being part of that and for being excited about my songs and for being supportive of my songs and for enjoying my songs because obviously, that was the one and only goal of each of my songs. Was to entertain people. And I never really realized that until a little while ago when someone was asking me, "What, where does your inspiration come from?" And I was like, "Y'know, what? I think my inspiration comes from the base fact that I want to make people happier." Which is cool. I mean, I like that. I like that a lot. When I'm writing a song, I very rarely think about what I want. My entire consciousness is preoccupied with the thought: "What will the Nerdfighters enjoy?" And so in a very real way, you are the only reason why this exists. I think about you every single time I write a song. I think about whether or not you are going to enjoy it. That is the goal. That is the fun of it for me. I want-I wanna see that positive comment, that immediate feedback. I publish a song I think is good, and suddenly, I have proof that other people think it's good too. It's a creative process that no one in the world has ever had access to before. It's like performing live and that you finish and you get the-you get the feedback immediately, but at the same time I don't have to be quite as polished as I otherwise would have to be in performing live because frankly, you don't want to know how many takes it takes me to get through one of these songs. I'm not the most fabulous musician, I like to think that I'm a pretty good songwriter but, really, what this has been about for me is, is understanding the Internet, the power of the Internet, and the power of the audience that we all suddenly have access to through sites like YouTube. So thank you all very much, and I hope, hope hope hope, that you enjoy this, 'cause it's gonna be weird 'cause I'm gonna throw it out there and I'm not gonna have the comments there to tell me whether or not people liked it. But I'm throwing it out there, here it is, and I really hope you like this, this is my album. I hope that you think...it is So Jokes.
