The Return of the Notes

The wait is over!  The JP Notes is back, and boy do we have a lot ahead of us.

First order of business:  Under normal circumstances, you’ll get your biweekly dose of The Notes every Tuesday and Thursday.  I will be alternating between My Suggestions and rankings lists every Tuesday, and I will put up a new blog post every Thursday.  This week I’m also going to post a special My Suggestions list on New Year’s Eve to celebrate the past year.

Second: Email subscriptions are not up yet.  However, I would like to thank everyone again for their continued support during my hiatus.  The JP Notes Facebook page even gained more followers during this time.  Encourage your friends to follow The Notes on Facebook (@therealjpnotes), Twitter (@thejpnotes), Instagram (josefhageman #thejpnotes), Tumblr (The JP Notes), and Spotify (Josef Hageman).

Finally: Eminem’s new album, Revival, is out now.  I suggest listening to it before next Thursday if you’d like some context for what I’m going to talk about.  If you get the chance, I’d also suggest listening to Relapse, and Recovery (provided you are the appropriate age) for context.  Revival is the third album in this series and so takes a lot of influence from the previous two, especially Recovery.  Let me know what you think of the album!

I’m so glad to be back, back again.  How did you all do Without Me?  I hope you didn’t Lose Yourself in the meantime.  I know I didn’t follow through on all my promises, but I also know you love the way I lie.  I’m looking forward to the new year and blogging again!

Thanks for reading!

A Brief Hiatus and a Thank-you

I have to take a break from The JP Notes to focus on the upcoming semester at college.  I’m still a student, and I have to take care of my academic obligations and future career first and foremost.  Once I have fulfilled those obligations, I will return to the The JP Notes.

I’d like to take a brief moment to thank everyone for their support over the past couple months.  The JP Notes blog has received over 300 views since we started on June 15.  The Facebook page has 61 followers and 62 likes, and the JP Notes Twitter account has 12 followers.  Blogging is quickly becoming one of my favorite hobbies, and it’s even more fun to see people reading and enjoying it.  Thank you for everything you do for me!

As for the future of The JP Notes, there will be a new suggestions list next Tuesday, but after that there won’t be any posts until at least September.  I have many ideas in the making, including: movie, TV, and video game reviews; song, album, and artist reviews; various website improvements; email subscriptions; and many more notes on music and entertainment.

During this pause, it would be a great support to me and the blog if everyone would continue to like, follow, and share the site and myself on Facebook (@therealjpnotes), Twitter (@thejpnotes), Instagram (josefhageman #thejpnotes), Tumblr (The JP Notes), and Spotify (Josef Hageman).  If you’d like to contact me personally for any reason, please message me on  Facebook or email me at josefphageman15@gmail.com.

The JP Notes will come back harder, better, faster, stronger.  All of the lights will be on future.  Jesus walks with The JP Notes.  Diamonds are forever and so is this blog.

As always, thank you for reading!
