Procrastinated New Year's Day Message - Two Weeks Late!

by Austin Washington


Hey Everybody!!!

My New Year's Resolution? Don't procrastinate! Just got around to making it today, 15 January, which is why I'm finally posting this - um - New Year's Day post!!! I'm getting better!!!! (Sorry for the weird and bad lay-out - I'm no internet genius, and never claimed to be! Couldn't make the captions on the photos work - so put this off...for two weeks!) Also, re-posted this, as it came out below, where you might not see it - in the order in which it was started, not finished!

Well, thank you for making my New Year's Day (not my favourite holiday anyway, to be honest!) - but, thank you for making it the best - well - ever!








I'm not in that picture - those are some of the Santas in my video...manic, stranger-hugging Santas...hey, even if it's not Christmas when you're reading this, it's still worth looking at the video, honest!








First, my Christmas "Need a Little Love" video, inspired by John Lennon & Santa Claus...was the #5 music video in the world for a while, and the #95 video of any sort - this would mean compared to, even, pornography, I'd guess!!! Wow...








Missed getting a screen grab @ #95 - maybe it went higher?! - but got it at 100!!!





Second, I was SO happy when I was trying to find the URL of one of my songs, and instead found that justine had made a video for/of my music and photos - I can't tell yo how thrilled that made me. It really, honestly, made my day - thank you so much.


(She even wrote " Austin Washington! Major hottie!" Wow!!! Thanks....)

btw, here's the original video...



THEN (could it get better?!) I found that not only has Rachael (Rachel), my song been bootlegged (you can even buy it as a ring-tone, for which I don't get paid! ;p)

- but my lyrics have been posted on lyrics sites...

This is why I hate record companies - these are the things they fight - yet these are the things that made my day!!! (Money, schmuny...I just wanna make people smile is all!!!)

So, thank you so much - you completely made my New Year's day, and I hope your holidays are/were great, too - and, if you're in, like, China, or wherever, where there may be (?) no holidays now (?!? I know they do Christmas in Korea, not sure about China) - well, if you're there, or anywhere - I'm humbled, thrilled, and delighted by all the messages, and all the support - even the bootlegging! - I've received.

I hope you have the best year of your life - honestly! :D

Austin
