Don't Give Up

Garvin is Paranoid at the best of times, he thinks everybody and in particular "The Universe" is conspiring against him, oh! and George.
The Universe is conspiring against both of them that is.

Just as they had created their ingenious hybrid world-class business model for self-directed learning in the indie film industry which was targeting students from across the world, The Universe in its universal wisdom decided to throw a Pandemic into the Mix, So Limited or No Travel between countries, Oh! And World Wide Shut Down of Film Production Per Se and just for good measure maybe a Global Recession or Even Depression. See how you Jokers get on with that one in your Business Model?

George reassures Garvin it's nothing personal, The Universe is just making an Example of the Earth and not them in particular.

Garvin Sticks the Proverbial "Two Fingers" up to "The Universe" shouting at the Top of his voice, "Tis but a Flesh Wound! Have At You!!"

A lot of people in the Sleepy Irish Village where Garvin is currently residing are a tad bit confused as to who in particular this mad looking six foot six Jackeen (Nutter From Dublin) is shouting at? They figure it may be easier and more advisable to just cross the road to avoid any misunderstandings and or confusion never the less.

So that's it, They (The Jokers) are not giving up that easy. They may be on two different planets but they have one goal in common, to conquer the social media universe and nothing less will do, well maybe 20 percent less but that's final.

Garvin and George adopt their New Mantra "80:20", They aim to wear out the "Pareto Principle", you can never have enough of it after all.
George wonders if they have quite got the hang of the concept when Garvin keeps giving up on every project just as it nears completion.
They need to wrestle out what this 80% Minimum Leave Good Enough Alone actually looks like or everything they do will just look half-arsed or maybe 80% Arsed, which is One Full Cheek and a Flash of the other.

George and Garvin Agree the rest of 2020 is all about "Their ART!!", They want to nurture their creativity albeit in a public place or virtual space being of course the Universe of the Internet and its various Social Media Platforms. They are ramped up and pumping out verbal diarrhea and packaging it like deranged madmen for their ever-elusive audience. They are in the Past, the Present, and the bloody Future even Doctor Who and his Tardis is only in one place at a time.

It is no surprise their audience is doing it's very best to stay hidden because when this duo finishes this game of hide-and-seek, that audience will never be the same again, they will be waking up in the middle of the night screaming and in a cold sweat, there'll be no escaping these jokers anymore.

They will be everywhere you look, you might as well just give in now and save all the hassle, just do what you're told and subscribe, follow and share, and to be doubly sure comment and like, like the good influencees that you are.

The Jokers proclaim to anyone that will listen, "WE ARE GUINEA PIGS!",
that's what we are, If we can do it, Jaysus anybody can. We have mastered the Start Point on every platform, We officially have no customers, no subscribers, no followers, no listeners, and no clue how to get any of them on these time vampires being Linkedin, FaceBook, Twitter, and most of all YouTube. They might as all well be in feck'n Double Dutch, they really don't cater to the Bewildered and Confused Baby Boomer and Millennial that just wants to make people [preferably paying customers] happy.

There is so much work, so many roles, so much to do and so little time to do it in. They are good at Processes particularly Production, they are even getting some inkling of Marketing and Branding, But what they really need to do is Clone themselves and Inject Artificial Intelligence into them and immediately put them to work 24/7 writing copy, designing T-Shirts, and Caps, illustrating the books just to start with. The Lads will concentrate their efforts on their ART or Content, the plan is to be Tokking Off Their Heads in no time.

The Social Media Platforms are soon drowning in images of the boys ranting their particular incoherent brand of mindfulness peppered with business and life coaching mantras, you can't move from one platform to the next without seeing Garvin's Lips chanting out some blurb about God only knows what as no one ever hangs on long enough to find out. They are channel hoping so quick to avoid the Inane Drone of the Big Mans Booming Rants. Every once and awhile or now and again an unsuspecting viewer lands on George giving a pleasant bit of counselling and coaching advice only to be rudely shut down 30 seconds later by Garvin's - Ah! you thought you were safe and comfortable in your happy go lucky life, well you can forget about that! here are 101 things you forgot to worry about! Now be on your way! And Don't Forget to Subscribe as you shut the door behind you.

If Only the Lads would just give up, if not for their sake, for everyone else's. The Universe Shrugs its Shoulders [Only the External Observer Noticed] saying to itself and anyone else bothered to listen, "I Did Try my best to Stop Them, there just too bloody-minded to realise that the world is not ready for their particular Cup of Tea"...
