Branding Crossroad…

I’m sitting here…medicated yet thinking clearly. It’s amazing how much pain and sickness can block the brains thoughts. A lot of things are swirling and I need some answers or some info. It’s no secret I’ve been trying to get my TV hustle on but one thing I have always struggle with was Name Branding. It is something I become real difficult and inconsistent with. One thing for sure is I’m over DONE with nickname and stage names but I don’t want to use my full real name.

Luckily I’m not famous or infamous [depending on who you ask] so I still have time to really build and solidly execute a plan for great name branding.

I’ve done a lot of great work under “The Captain” however I don’t know if it really resonates with an audience. It honestly came to me over night before heading to school and it was more of a radio thing…End of day I have stood behind it and really pushed it but its one of those things where it’s 50/50 perception on how well it is working.

Present day. I been working on cranking out these T-shirts called CamQuotes, On TV and for my primary job I was “Web-Cam” my real name is Cameron and When I introduce myself I always say “I’m Cam”..The consistent piece of this puzzle is “Cam”. So it got me thinking…

How do I introduce myself?

How would a friend or Colleague introduce me?

What name could be use universally and embody everything I do?

One day when I’m being interviewed what would they call me and does it have a ring to it?

I definitely need some advice because the name I pick from this day forward I plan to trademark. I want to know if its worth the change. I want to know if I have done too much as “The Captain” and if it’s worth it to change and start back at square one.

Anyone have any suggestions? Let me know.

CamQuotes on Revolt TV?

From the very day I was told IMC-TV was ending I’ve been on the hunt for a new television opportunity. I knew there was a format and a brand somewhere that not only understands my movement but  would serve as a proper platform for truth and hip-hop culture. I honestly feel that brand will be REVOLT TV.

For those that are unaware this is the new cable brand being launch by Sean “Diddy” Combs and his partner Andy Schuon which is slated to launch in July 2013. This is a brand said to be focusing on lifestyle, fashion, culture, music and most importantly the truth.

I need to be apart of this brand. I need to take my career and my content to the next level and this is the perfect home. I’m  in tuned with the hip-hop culture yet well versed in other genres of music. I write, shoot, edit and produce my own video and blogs and I’m a pretty entertaining dude. I’m the Leader of The Young Old School Nation.

I’ve applied, submitted and ready to push the envelope to be apart of this brand. I need the shot to let me skill set speak for itself. With high faith and constant prayer I’ll get through this and this summer…You’ll see me LEADING the Revolution!

#CamQuotes “Who’s Rocking” Release and Meaning

First Official Cam Quotes Release!
Late 2012 into 2013 was when I made this quote the ultimate motto of my life.

The last 5 years I have definitely done right, done wrong won some battles and lost some wars. I’ve gained and lost friends and enemies. I say what I feel and all my actions and words aren’t well received sometimes…but hey…that’s life.

I made the decision that I just cant focus on what other’s think and feel. I can’t be conscious of what others expect and want to happen for me. In short…I Can’t Be Concerned About Who’s Not Rocking With Me.

My life is mine to live..You rolling? Cool! You not? Well that’s cool too…Only thing that is important is my path won’t change to my destiny. My purpose is greater than your opinion of me and my actions.

YeahThisCam – “Same Rapper Just No Name”

Stewing in your own thoughts can give you some very creative and emotionally driven moments. Nothing could be more than true for me today. Feeling a certain way, I decided to write a song…then I turn that song to ambition..figured I need to put out these studio tracks…so I got on my computer and decided to finish a project that took on 3 names and identities while in progress…and there you have it…An all natural an organic moment that I call “Same Rapper Just No Name”

This is for love, sport, hobby..No sponsors, DJ, and street team…Just a fraction of a lot that I have to say….Thinking doesn’t work…So I’m back to writing…

If you like, love or hate this project…Share it with someone else for a second opinion.

Comfort in Solitude

Struggling mentally…Not in the aspect of going crazy but more in finding comfort of being alone…I don’t want anything or anyone around me…except Layla…but yet there lies another battle.

I been thinking I want to be removed from society, people, worries. I’m finding no comfort in the world I live in. It’s always something I have to do, somewhere I have to go and something I have to give in order to get.

Then you got the blistering idiots that you come in contact with who feel they are entitled to have their existence acknowledge because they are them. Talk to you any kind of way and do what they will with expectation of no backlash…Foolish wastes of Oxygen and DNA

I was reading the Bible but can’t focus…so I’m taking a break

Right now..I could lose everything I have and not be phased. What does it mean to lose everything if you already feel you have nothing?

What do you do when the few things you want in life are out of reach and the few things you could deal without never leave?

I don’t speak or ask questions to be deep…thats tacky. I speak and ask for the quest of knowledge. This week I have been on a down…and it keeps getting lower.

Im done trying to appease others cause I can’t find true pleasure and peace in myself. I was asked if I knew my purpose last night…and right now…I have no idea.

RELAX: I’m 1,004% sober and NOT SUICIDAL. Just analyzing my life and what its supposed to mean. Not every rant is dude to a dependency or a cry for attention. Typing and writing have always been a great source of therapy for me.

One Last Risk…

Well..2013…TERRIBLE START…but still many goals and dreams to chase. I have one ounce of strength and one ounce of hope left. Not sure what to think moving forward.

They say the moment you feel like giving up and giving in and stop trying is the moment right before something happens for you. I pray to God that I’m there…cause I’m tired..Tired of failing, tired of not being THERE and tired of saying I’m tired of failing and not being there.

So I got one last shot. One last investment in myself and honestly…if it fails…I’m done. I will literally burst into tears take yet another L and never try to rise above mediocrity again. Sure this is “in the moment talk” but real life. I dont have time to feel like I’m wasting time on things that I can’t make happen. The amount of time, money and energy to achieve my goals is a stressful situation in itself…to try and fail or to try and not get the desired results is even worse. Looking at the top from the bottom [not so figuratively speaking] can only make you climb harder and faster than ever!

So here goes EVERYTHING! One Last Risk…One last investment…One last attempt at a W…
