Good day people of earth and beyond, So here I go again with another blog post. As promised this one is going to be on a much lighter note than yesterday. I just had to get that off my chest. I had to document it in my own way because we’re going through one of those moments people will be analyzing hundreds of years from now. What’s funny is that yesterday was gloomy rainy and cold but today is brilliant sunshine. Similar to the mood of the blogs that I would write on each of these days. This one is going to be more of a business and music update. A while ago when life took a pretty drastic turn for me, I turned to this blog to still be my voice out into the world. Due to the fact that I felt guilty for not being able to do what I felt I should be doing. Which is putting out music in to the atmosphere on a regular basis. It’s a way for me to stay in touch and let people know what I’m up to in the between time and also be able to express my myself and speak my mind. Whether I reach many or whether I only reach a few just know that I will always do what I do. In the last post I started out talking about the importance of communication. One of the reasons I’m eager to get this music blog rolling is best way that I communicate is through playing music. I believe once people start hearing these trax you’ll know just what I mean. Although the songs are instrumentals as of now, the energy and emotion still vibrate through and will be felt. I don’t want keep just talking about I want to show not tell but it doesn’t hurt to have a bit of context. I am pretty excited about new ways to monetize this IP, generate income and have a career or a business doing what I absolutely love. This brings me to another point that I briefly wanted to touch on regards to mental health. I was watching this show and the host was talking About how the happiness level in this country among certain age groups and demographics has plunged. The way he phrased it he made it seem as if people were just sitting around taking antidepressants feeling sorry for themselves. I’m paraphrasing here but he pretty much saying that people should be happy because they have a job and a TV. I can see that point of view to a small degree, but me being someone that has a strong interest in psychology I have theory about depression. My thought is this I think everybody has a purpose and every emotion serves a purpose. When I look back on times in my life when I experienced depression. Then compared that to the wide and diverse range of people and have been affected by it or struggle with depression has caused me to come up with my own hypothesis. In recent years we see people that have fortune, fame and family but still become suicidal. Personally, I can tell you that the times in my life when I have felt depressed is when I was not playing music. So, you can probably see where I am going with this. Whenever I am making a lot of music not matter what is going on in my life and whatever challenges I may be facing at the time I’m pretty much still a happy camper. It’s not music or creativity for everybody but like an ant colony everyone plays a roll in running a healthy well adjusted society. Just like an ant colony if something is off things can go into a death spiral. I’m not an expert these are just my thoughts. My point is this possibly some of these people are finding themselves depressed because they are not finding true meaning  in their life because they are not doing what they are coded to be doing in their genetics. It doesn’t have to have to be something complicate like finding a new career or having children. It could be something simple that helps you find meaning like planting a garden, photography, or writing poetry or cooking for your friends. Anyhow I think you get my point just something I wanted to touch on. Back to the subject at hand. One of the most crucial steps in the process after a song is recorded is the mixdown and master. I’m not going to get too deep into this it’s engineering work it’s what has to be done to make sure the songs sound right across various platforms, it’s technical stuff most people don’t care as is they shouldn’t. I only bring it up because in the past it’s something I’ve paid and relied on other people, professionals to do for me. Which I think is good to have another set of ears helping to make sure the final product is perfect. As you grow in the field and the industry changes and your objectives also change you may have to wear more hats. At the end of the day what comes out is your baby. So, I had to take some time out to learn to do that for myself. It’s not that complicated of a task if you know what you want your music to sound like. After you’ve spent countless hours as a producer a long side the sound engineer you start to learn and pick up what there are doing. Also, youtube is a good resource for tutorials on this subject. I had to go back and mixdown and master everything that I had for the past couple years or so. The benefit of being able to come out with a completed product from A-Z in-house, is that it makes things a whole lot easier if something isn’t quite right and you need to make changes. Also, you’re not paying someone else to do it for you. I finished doing that a few weeks ago, now I have a few dozen of trax finished ready to go. I have everything on my google drive and my phone just in case. In the future I won’t have to take time out to do that because I will mixdown and master the trax as I produce them. That is one of the reasons I haven’t started working on videos yet. This is my plan. I have long vacation coming up in a few weeks. I want to spend that entire break working on new beats. In the past I’ve never had that long to just focus on just my music. Projects come out so much better when you don’t have to stop producing because you have to get ready for work and I may not be able to get back to the song for a few days. Then it can take more time to get back into same mindset you were in when you started creating the trak. Things run so much smoother when you can stay up late if you need to and get right back to it early in the morning. It definitely enhances the quality of work. After that I think I will be ready to start working on the visual aspect for the songs, but if I feel I’m still just hitting my stride as a producer and capturing lighting in a bottle. I will keep working on new trax until I feel the time is right. So, reality is that things are changing fast I’m doing my best to process a whole lot of new information. In regards to music licensing and new AI tools are popping up seems like every day. Up until a few weeks ago I had never even heard the word “sync license”. What I’m learning changes my perspective and possibly my entire objective. I just knew I wanted to try to get my music into commercials and video games etc. Come to find out there’s an entire industry and infrastructure setup to facilitate just that and the odds are so much better than trying to become the next viral sensation. It will take me some time process and apply all this new information into a coherent winning strategy. I want to talk about all that more in the next blog. Maybe that one will be a video we’ll see what happens Until then I hope you continue to win. Happy Sunday, I hope you get you proper amount of sleep and wake up rejuvenated for a productive, prosperous, joyful week. Stay Beautiful even though I know you can’t help but to do that. Much Love as always 

What’s up everybody? What’s happening silkys in the milky? How you doing? I wanted to say hello since it’s been a minute. Happy spring time I hope life is treating you well this season, although I know the world remains in a very turbulent state to say the least. Hopefully they can find a path to peace and better days for all those who are suffering. You are in my thoughts and prayers and this is not about taking sides it’s about saving innocent lives. Harmony is possible. I just wanted to drop in and wish you well. Everything is coming along really good on my end. I’ve just been fully in Music Mode in all my extra time. Banging out trak after trak and they all sound real smakadocious, ferocious similar to a swarm of Locus . So don’t worry every artist has this phase when they are locked in a room focusing on their breakthrough project. I should be able to elaborate further and be a little bit more specific about what I’ve been up to. Artists can be misunderstood individuals, that’s why I’ve decided that my podcast or vlog whatever you want call it will be centered around “the Creative Process”. To shed some more light and understanding on the thought process, what goes on behind the scenes as well as the struggle. Especially with this new AI era that is sure bring major change to everyone in the creative field. It will definitely serve to be a tremendous opportunity particularly to individuals like myself. Just know that creatively momentum is on my side so I am positioning myself to be able to capitalize. More details on the way in the upcoming days and weeks.  The music blog I’ve spoken is closer than ever to going live. In the near future I will be posting a new music video ever couple of weeks at least. All the necessary components are coming together and the path forward is becoming clearer. Also, the path to getting my music licensed for films, TV, video games and other media has recently been made available to me. So that’s another avenue I’m currently actively pursuing.  A full or at least a more in-depth update is coming in the next week or so. Until then have no fear the Force is with us, the future remains bright. One day this world will see a time peace, prosperity and harmony. So, my Whipulization Nation stay tuned to the Silkalization Station for important updates and information regarding content creation. Also mental, spiritual, emotional and physical health elevation as well as compelling conversations. As we live through trials and tribulations and experience Revelations. It’s Spring and Love is in the air so let’s spread it everywhere.  

What’s going on everybody? I just wanted to drop in real quik here to say wzup.  Wrap up the year with a bow and welcome in the new one with a blessing. Undoubtedly a lot of out there in the cyberverse have had a prosperous year. Which is a good thing I’m always happy to see those who work hard reap the benefits of there labor, weather it be physical, mental or otherwise. For me personally it was a good year one of the better years for me as far as happiness is concerned. I wanted to go pedal to the metal and write this long end of the year blow out blog. Catch up on everything and touch on a range of topics and go into depth about what I’ve been doing and especially the creative process. Realistically I don’t have the time to get that done before January 1^st.  That’s not really a bad thing thought. It’s been a really productive year for me as far as music production is concerned, I was able to complete a lot of top-notch quality traks. Every time I step to the plate it’s either a home run or a grand slam in my opinion. Since production is core competency and pretty much the foundation of everything else I do. It’s been nice to be able to focus sometime on that. I’m to the point where I can’t even imagine something not coming of this and I contemplate what I will be able to accomplish once I can really focus on this like I should 8 – 10 hours a day everyday or on most days. Right now, it’s getting all my free time besides all the other necessary stuff I have in life, like eat sleep and go to work. Keep in mind I’m a truck driver I wake up at 2am on most week days. There’s only so many hours in the so sacrifices have to be made. Like sitting down and watching a 3 hour sporting event completely out of the question, for the time being. Matter of fact I didn’t want stop to write this. I was working on a beat earlier today. My new phone which is the S21 it has an 8k camera which is ranked to be one of the best phones for tik tok videos. I’ve had it for three months it’s still in the box. I haven’t had time to which my data over. I’ll do it soon but this give you an example of how laser focused I’ve been on music. I also already have bought my lighting setup. I going to build my vocal booth from fold out room dividers and soundproof blankets. Like a square tent that I can take down when I’m done an is portable. I don’t anticipate catching up on these blogs until I’ve switched over to video format and have been doing it long enough to get the hang of it. In this new year I’m going to start working on new videos. It is really good time to do specifically what I do. I spoken about how there’s an oversaturation of media in circulation. Now there’s a positive aspect to that. For someone like me who can pretty much create a song everyday given the time. If you know where to look there’s this colossal pool of visual media to pull from edit together and make your music videos. I’ve been collecting different clips that fit the themes I have for various upcoming projects. What gets me really excited is what I seen as far as AI video generation. It’s truly game changing, this just made the whole process 500 times easier a thousand times faster and 100 time less expensive. I can literally put out videos as fast as I can cut the traks. I’ve already had some ideas for content I want to make like the premium workout/music video hybrid series. Incorporating this AI is really the adhesive that bring everything to together and makes it flow. You can pretty much tell the AI what you want in the scene and it creates it. It’s especially good when it come to animation your only limit is your imagination. The visuals that I’ve seen it generate fits my style of music really well. That futuristic space age other dimension type vibe. What’s really exciting is that this technology didn’t exist a few months ago it’s just getting started. It’s developing at such a fast rate imagine the possibilities. When the music software I use starts incorporating AI musical instruments in the configuration because that is the next logical step, it’s really going to blow the roof off. Just give me a little time to get the hang of the technology. I will be putting out some top notch content at a high rate of pace. This is going to allow me to focus my time energy on what my core competency which is creating these really elaborate soundscapes. It’s going to put more eyes and ears on my products and allow my audience which I’m most concerned with but also this businesses and companies hear what I have to offer. I believe my blessing will become even larger at that point due to fact that I am now completing the circuit. All this energy and inspiration that’s being channeled into me. Not only am I able to sequence it and put it back together into an appealing consumable format. I will be actually putting out into the world and the universe getting my energy and vibes into circulation. I’m truly excited about what the near future has in store. Last year I said by this year I would be in the stratosphere. Do I feel that came to pass? No, I don’t but I live my life by the motto “aim for the stars land on the moon”. So I am actually happy at what I was able to achieve. Although I am not complacent, So in 2024 I will aim for the stratosphere once more. There are some people I want thank but I want to wait until I have the time to elaborate and go further into depth on why. We’re also going to discuss business, fitness, philosophy, psychology, movies and how to “Acquire what you Desire” I want to wish everyone the best and success in the upcoming new year. This world is dealing with some really rough situations to put it lightly. It is my hope that they can work through it and end the unnecessary human suffering. A little bit of Love goes a long way. If you don’t hear from me, it’s because I’m turning out fresh new tunes with you in mind. Things will be kind of crazy and erratic while I am in this necessary but temporary transitional phase. Just know I love the challenge as well as overcoming obstacles through innovation. Thank you and much Love to everyone who has been along for this wild ride this long. Things are starting to look really optimistic. Stay tuned huge thangs coming soon!

  "Hell on Earth" a poem by S.T.P

Hello there again, all my friendz, as the year draws to and end, greetings I would like to send,

To all those on my team, also all those who hope and dream, 

Not just to those who are living swell, also to those who are in a living hell,

Everyday getting shot and shelled, with No safe place to dwell, 

This could be our last day on earth, says a mother who just gave birth, 

To her new born child who barely stands any chance to ever see her first,

Everyday is the worse day, I haven't eaten since last Thursday, 

Lord I’m so tired and thirsty, 

They’ve already taken everything from me so technically nothing can hurt me,

If I am to leave the physical world today my energy will return to its original source,

A thousand years from now that will only feel like an instant my energy will be redispersed and rebirthed

To a new heaven and a new earth,

I will open my eyes, and realize paradise,

2023 will be just a distance memory when humanity lost its way, 

History’s darkest days, 

When those who held power Failed in every conceivable way,  

That is no longer a concern of mine the former things have passed away

So, what is up everybody? As always, I sincerely would hope that everyone and their loved ones are well. However, as I am not oblivious to current global events. I can see that things are not that way. Usually when I sit down to write these things, I try to be entertaining, crazy, wild and humorous. For now I feel it’s more appropriate to keep more of a serious tone. Just to be sensitive to the situation as numerous lives have been lost and countless other hang in balance. As it concerns what people refer to as the holy land and the ongoing conflicts, I am not going to discuss that here. For the reasons that I am not well versed in the history of conflicts in that region. I do monitor current daily news and events that occur in that part of the as I do every part of the world. As terrible and horrific as the events that took place on October 7^th were. I’m so used to seeing so many violent acts in that region. It was not a complete shock to me. Due to the fact that violence only ever escalates. It doesn’t solve anything or make you safer or more secure. It does the opposite. Apply that equation to the situation and it’s not hard to predict the near future. As this point the entire situation is a complete catastrophe with a very dire bleak course of events set to play out soon. While I do have thoughts and feeling on the matter since I am a musician not a pundit. I would only share them in private with the few people that I trust. That’s a huge can of worms regarding politics, religion and philosophy that’s not for me to open. In regards to this time period on earth and what this sets the stage for. I believe I know what this is leading to. We will see as it unfolds before our eyes. To speak just the geographical location about that section of the world it is permeated by a powerful energy source that radiates from within the earth. From the study ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, there is a theory that they through use of some lost technology, had learned to harness this energy. It is thought that they would use for such tasks as to levitate the gigantic stone blocks in place that were used to construct the pyramids. With the use some sort ultrasonic frequency device. The locations of where these temples and holy sites are not random. If you were able look at them from high above the earth. You would find that they line up perfectly with each other in a very symmetrical pattern. Not only there but throughout the world, famous sites like this form a planet wide grid. Why and who would do such a thing? Well obviously, the patterns would only be notice those traveling through the sky with and aerial view of the landscape. One theory is that these sacred locations could have been used and as power up stations for spacecrafts. I have always thought of religion as some sort of loose translation of ancient science and knowledge that was in part lost in catastrophes that have occur throughout human history. That region seems to be a very strong nexus of this energy source. It stands to reason that from where military bases are being built that government are aware of this world grid and the potential power source. This could possibly be what a part of the origins of the conflict. One could stand to reason that human behavior is affected by this energy field and is amplified by the tension from the different factions that inhabit this part of the world.

To move on and touch on some other things. By now people who read this blog know that I like to talk about psychology in relates to personality types. The main thing that we’re studying here and proving along the way that human beings are incredibly predictable and never act outside of their personality type. In the past we spoke about Johnny Depp and Amber Herd. Since day one it would always be a competition between these two. With the goal to bring other on into complete submission. First let’s take all the recording they had of each other. What kind of couple does that? More specifically within those tapes the only time I noticed Herd being nurturing and affectionate, is when Depp was at a breaking threatening to slice himself. Only at that point did she ever seem nice and caring to me she also seemed to be very satisfied with herself. Then let’s analyze the last thing he ever said to her “You will never see my eyes again”. He stuck by that he never looked at her once. This is deep phycological warfare. This is just meanness on a whole another level. For a woman especially one like herd this would cut her to her very soul. Because this was once her husband the person she was closet to in the world. Even with the relationship long gone he can’t let it go he still has to get the W. These two people will never stop competing with each other. 

Ok now let’s move on to another profile. The very peculiar case of Casey White and Vicky White. We’ll call it bad alpha meets venerable beta. The first thing I want you to do is get out of the characterization that one personality type is either good, bad, superior or inferior to others, that is simply not true. Societies need all types to function and there are advantages to each, but I would to state that there good and bad versions of each. Which we will not discuss today. Instead let’s quickly glance at this case and see how prototypical these two are to their own personality type. For those not familiar Vicky White and Casey White are not related. Vicky was a corrections officer at the jail in Alabama where Casey was being housed serving 75 years in connection with the 2015 murder of his girlfriend. Vicky had worked at the jail for sixteen years her house was paid off and she was days away from retirement. Casey was able to use his natural leadership qualities to manipulate this lady to throw everything she work for her whole life and throw it all away. I would assume that she wasn’t getting any love in her life at the time she fell for him if ever. They developed a bond that he would exploit. It was revealed that they shared close to a thousand jailhouse phone calls. With that much conversation any two people are going to draw close to each other, but this wasn’t love I would call it infatuation meets the powers persuasion and manipulation. The day after she turned in her retirement papers it was revealed that she had sold her home for around one third of its actual value. While she was supposed to be transporting him to a hospital they disappeared together. Through this whole chain of events, she is displaying prototypical beta personality traits blindly and religiously following what she perceived to be strength. She took the path of least resistance up until the very end. It took about eleven days to track them down. In the end when the law closed in, she took the easy way out and shot herself. He just went to back to prison. If there was any type compassion or love there, he would have never let her throw everything away like that. Instead, she was a tool for his and disposal. There’s a lesson to be learned here. While it is human nature crave love and follow strong leadership. Beware of false prophets there are many malicious individuals who will manipulate your mind your emotions and throw you under bus the when it is convenient for them to do so.

This is actually an easy transition into our next topic. Due to that we’re going to talk about how positive it can be to good strong leadership and the story includes a good alpha. Of course, we’re going to talk about summer 2023 the summer of strikes. We have proof that democracy, unions and strikes work and can accomplish great things for working people. Let me say that I think that it is too bad that we live in the kind of society where you have to raise hell and kick people in the balls figuratively of course. For them to just pay you what you’re worth. We talked about this when it started the Writers Guild Union went on strike. It took five months but they won a historic new contract. Good for them, congratulations! Also, worth mentioning the auto workers union went on strike for three months. Lead by a guy who has to be in the running for Man of the Year. Mister I’m going to make you an offer you can’t refuse. The new working man’s Champion UAW president Shaun Fain. This shows you what’s possible when you elect and follow strong leadership, good alphas that actually have your best interest in mind. Let this be a lesson to all you working people who don’t appreciate the power of unions. You have to stand up and speak truth to the powerful. These people are going to go from making around $19.00 an hour which you can’t live on. To making $40.00 an hour plus all the added benefits and perks that they fought for. Life changing money which they deserve because their companies are making record profits largely due to their hard. When the working class wins, we all win. So, we need to be sure to keep this labor movement rolling strong.

The main reason I am writing you today is to check in with everyone let them know where I am at personally and business wise. I’ve mention this recently and just to say again. I’ve been spending my every free moment working creating new music. The one that is going to dictate my success in this field is the strength of my catalog. When I listen to my most recent work. The thought that comes to mind is that I can’t imagine a scenario where I don’t find success with this. The more trax I have the even better my odds so, it would be very advantageous to bolster my catalog as much as possible. One thing I did want to address is that I like putting new projects on January 1^st. To start the year out right. Just to be clear this upcoming year I won’t be able to do that. The timing isn’t right and strategy hasn’t been fully flushed out. I’m not going for the cheap heat and just have a couple videos that go viral. I’m building the foundation of solid company and a sustainable business, that I can use even well in the future to put out my creations and make a living even as I get older. I have evolved into a music producer I play every instrument via a synthesizer and computer software. My newest traxx are complex with a lot of layers, sounds and breakdowns and they are long. They highlight and focus on production skills and musical instruments, new and different sounds that you’ve never heard before but will put your speakers or headphones to work. For now, that’s where I am at as an artist. The focus is not going to be on vocals. You won’t miss that though because those sections are filled in with other instruments that otherwise you probably wouldn’t be able to put in this style of music because it would drown out the vocalist. A lot of the things that I wanted to say to the world I’ve already said it. I mean, do you always need somebody telling you how to feel on every song? Sometimes it’s cool to just let the music speak for itself. It’s also a business decision, releasing instrumentals will allow to put out a lot more music a lot faster and it would be less costly for me as I am starting back up. Also, if I have an instrumental that really gains traction. I can always go back remake the song with lyrics. It’s my music and I’ll do whatever I want with it. But how do I turn this skill into a reliable career? Is what I have been contemplating for the last several months. I am happy to say that I have designed what I believe is going to be a successful new business model. Which involves using the popular short video formats for promotion and the premium content sites to turn a profit. I’ve re-imagined my style music for all those like urban sounds but are open to something new. This also a strategic business decision. Instead of competing in a crowded market create your own space and by pass competition. Of course, I can’t reveal my entire plan now. The reason I’m mentioning this because I want to collaborate with those who have already proven themselves to their own cyberspace institutions. Due to their dedicated followings and would like to offer their audience a new exciting style of premium media. These traxx are spanking new. When I first make a trac I don’t always know exactly what I want to do with that particular song and I have a lot of fresh tight music and I have a lot different ideas for projects. The more I listen the songs the more of an idea I have for what I want to do with it visually. One idea I have is merge the workout video and the modern music video into a new style of HD HQ premium media. I going to talk more the creative process and song construction for me in a later blog. As I go along, I feel like I’m getting better and growing as a producer. That’s another reason I have not been wanting to stop and focus on putting something out. I’ve been wanting to keep the momentum flowing. It won’t be too much longer before I’m releasing projects on a consistent basis. The last thing I want to address was platform. Now when I said I want to build my platform to publish my work on first. I don’t want you to think that I want to build this elaborate complicated project like cloning a social media site, because that’s not what I mean at all. I’m learning enough to construct an online utility with enough functionality for me to unload store and share my videos from my own server. As time goes on and I learn more coding I wouldn’t rule out adding more features and functionality to it. When I say my own server no, I don’t mean a server I have in my closet. There are companies that specialize in data storage. So, it’s not really that complicated of a project and I believe I have the people who can help me make it a reality. I also wanted to mention (patreon.com) the people are trying really hard to be the place for creators to monetize their content and earn a descent living. Now that you can upload videos straight to patreon and bypass the big video hosting site. When I’m ready to put my previous videos back up that’s where my catalog will be located. Beside right here where you will always be able to find me that’ll probably be my homebase. Do you like me well enough to toss me 5-10 buxx a month? If I can 5000 people to sign up, I can promise you two tight music videos a month. Remember you if don’t hear from me its only due to the fact that I’m creating new traxx. Playing music is one of the best feelings you could ever have. I feel very blessed and I would never use this gift to spread poison or cause injury. I’m going wrap this one up everybody.  Yes, change is going to come I’m still in the process of transitioning this blog into a video and music blog. Thank you to all my supporters I think by now you already I know I Love you. Please stay safe and security minded. Even through dark times remember the future is still bright. Expect big thangs we are set to blast off soon!

Yo wzup? To all my whipulizationz, and a special shot out to my silkalizationz,

I wish you could hear all of my newest creations,

because I’m telling you they sound like so next generation, 

like something they would bump on the international space station,

or the upper Escalon of the galactic Federation,

I’ve composed several songs for you as a demonstration,

Of my adoration, 

Doesn’t it seem like we living in the times talked about in Revelations?

Well, if we are whoa to the earth and all of its populations and nations,

Earthquakes fires famine floods war devastation, and disease,

I think you are very naïve, if you do not believe,

That the oil industry is going to try to bring all of society to knees,

B4, we get to the point were all our cars run off electricity,

Everything old is new again, the old school is cool again,

They said I would grow up to be nothing but a hooligan, 

Or somebody would end up shooting him, 

But they were wrong, and I grew up to be big and strong,

And I’m right where I belong, creating songs,

In the studio or with a Lovely Lady all night Long, going Donkey Kong,

Don’t worry very soon I will write a full update,

I just want to make sure I have the time to meditate, concentrate, contemplate, articulate, and educate,

I could easily use my lyrical skills to kill, but I would rather write rhymes that make people chill,

That way I can focus my attention on closing my next big deal,

Well, until we meet again, I wish all the best to my friendz,

Have a goodnite and have a good sleep, 

Have pleasant dreamz and have a great week,

Have some good food to eat, and some stimulating words to speak,

And if no one has told you this in a while,

You have incredible style, to match your incredible smile, 😉        

What’s going people? I hope everyone is doing quite well this Labor Day weekend. This won’t be a long blog I just wanted to drop in and say hello and maybe put some good words on your brain for the evening. I’m more than likely going to be going back to filming a video blog by early next year. I’m starting to build a set in my room right now. I think it could less time consuming and would raise my profile, now that I’m getting closer to releasing music on a consistent basis again. To be honest with you I don’t have a lot of free time. I still drive a truck four days a week. I have to do my workouts I still run everyday for forty minutes three miles. My blog update on my running experiment is coming. I still do my meal prep thou I have it down to the point where I only have to prepare my product very eight weeks or so. Besides that, there’s everything that comes a long with everyday life and all the nonsense and distractions. I try my best to stay focused on the task at hand. With free time that I do have I spend it all working on new music. One of the benefits of the job that I have is that we get a ton of PTO. That’s a huge benefit to an aspiring music producer/ creator. To have the time to work on songs all day and maybe through the night and not worry about having to get up in the morning (even thou I get up early everyday anyway), and know I’m still getting paid is huge blessing for me. I can focus on excellence, execution and the quality of my work. I’m grateful for that due to the fact when I switch over to self-employment, I won’t have that safety net there. Even thou my this is art it’s not all about money. If I was just about money, I’d be working on all my days off putting in crazy overtime and side hustling. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong that I’ve done it before I’ll do it again if I have to. Our slogan out here in NorCal is “Born 2 Hustle”. For right now I feel like the music I’m creating is important, unique and will help the overall well-being of all those who listen with an open mind and a righteous heart. Besides that, my weoplizations in my opinion not trying to sound like I’m patting myself on the back too much but the traks are sounding quite amazing. To the point where I feel like if I break my momentum and my mindset, I would actually be leaving money on the table. I feel like I’m creating gold and diamonds from my energy and thoughts. Looking at the big picture in the long run this music more than going to pay for itself many times over. What can I say the magic is flowing and the hits keep coming. For me personally it makes me feel productive which is for my personality type is the number one thing we need in life. Not only that but like I feel like I’m fulfilling my actually purpose appointed to me. Also, as my skill level grows and I incorporate new techniques I feel like I’m gaining more neurotransmitter connections and actually increasing my brain capacity and I’m becoming more proficient in other areas of my life. When I’m working, I feel like it’s an escape I’m transported to another world or dimension that I created. When people hear I feel like they are going feel the same way like being transported to another dimension. Another benefit it serves to impede all the toxic poisonous media we are bombarded on a daily basis. The sound trac in my mind is chords and melodies and rhythms that I just composed. I don’t say this to brag I say to encourage others who would consider this along their journey to self-improvement and eventual enlightenment. The best way I can describe the feeling when you just made a song and you know it’s as hit record not only that but you can do it again not just consistently but at will, it makes you feel unstoppable, no matter what’s going nothing brings you down. I feel like I’m on cloud nine all the time. So, for time being everything that’s not urgent like the blogs, photoshoots and even the transport business that I’m more than likely going to be starting in the near future I’ve temporarily put them to the side, So that I can keep this momentum that I have in the lab going strong. As long as the hits keep coming, I’m going to keep banging em out. While it may not seem like it because I’m not releasing the music as of yet. It’s actually a good thing because when I do surface, I’ll have more ammunition to work with. When I feel like I’ve gotten to a good stopping point or my creativity has plateaued. I will then turn my attention to other things. Until then I will continue laying down a solid foundation to build upon. (By the way I wanted to say thank you to thee who have supplied with the inspiration that I need to succeed)  ;-] <3

Now with that being said having some ultra tight traks is a huge advantage and gives me some leverage but doesn’t guarantee success. There are other aspects that need to be addressed. First off just as important as having a tight song in this day and age the visual aspect has to be there as well. You have to have a tight unique video to go along with the bomb song. Collaborations are definitely going to be a huge part of the process but with the right people. You have to have chemistry we have to be same wave length. So that we know each other thinks. Also, as far as platform goes before I setup shop anywhere. I’m going to publish my media my IP on my own server on my own platform first. To do that I’m going to need to further my knowledge as far as programing and coding goes. Now is actually a good time to do that because AI bots can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you as far as programming goes. Because I put too much time and energy into creating original, unique, quality content for it to be presented poorly. That goes for my upcoming vlogs and ever growing music video catalog. I want them on my own platform so that I can be in control of the presentation. With the experiences I’ve had I don’t trust some big tech to do that for me. I’m going to return to social but I’m going I am focusing on my own in-house infrastructure first. In the position I'm in I feel like it is important for me to learn the backend of the business as well as the front end. Lastly to address time frame I want say I’m not going to reveal my hold card anymore. Too many people are paying attention, but more important than that is, as far as music is concerned in the world of entertainment there is a lot of different applications for right songs. Take video games this is just one example. It would not be very savvy of me to not explore these other available options. My point is I don’t necessarily need to take this certain to path. I just want to do what I do best for living that’s being creative and do what makes me happy and creating music and sharing it with those who appreciate it. There’s so much more I want to say about my music and there’s so much going in the world I could chat on and on for a very long time, and I will but at a later date, but it has been a long week. I won’t do you a disservice by writing a long sloppy blog. I just wanted to let you know what has been going with me. I’m in a good place I’m not there yet but I can see the finish line. Y’all know I’m always going to stay in touch no matter. Remember to check my blog the day after Judgement because I’ll definitely have a lot to say about that. Seriously I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the holiday weekend. Me I will get up 5am tomorrow run shower and continue working on a song I started yesterday. But anywho keep doing what you do because it seems to work for you. I hope you have a very lovely evening chill labor day too. Before you go off to the land of dreamz I want to remember we were meant to fly so spread your wings. Let’s plan a trip to the moon I hope to see you real soon.

I hope your doing well, I know it’s hot as hell,

Has anyone seen Kelly and Lisa? I need 2 get saved by the bell, 

My musical inventory is starting to swell,

I’m starting to feel like KaeL,

I’ve always been kind of a Late bloomer but she’s got me coming out of my shell,

I’m posted in my Laboratory these beats they’re sounding bananas,

I’m going to take them to New York and Atlanta,

I’m going to need my scanner, and I’m going to bring my Candice camera,

I might need to rent a camper and a cabana,

I’m going with DJ and Stephanie Tanner,

I’m going to need to trade my whip,

B4 I can take this trip,

And when I flip this switch, the paradyme is about to shift,  

I’m NEVER about the grift, Music is my curse and my gift,

And when it comes to my life on the road I’m going to have to plead the 5^th,

In the studio I’m as fast as Sonic Pryme, this world is running out of time,

But even so the starz they still will shine,

So first I’m going to audition these traks to those who know wzup and hopefully blow their mind,

I’m drinking an Ice cold kombucha beer, I don’t even understand the concept of fear,

any artist or entity that’s takes me up my offer this will be a Jolt a Lighting bolt 2 ur company or career,

Hollywood is in Revolt so welcome to the Resistance,

To Acquire what you Desire it’s going  to take patience and persistence,

The Protesters Won in Iran, So we should be able to take on the clerics of La La Land,

If you stick to the plan, I don’t reveal my hand, 

But now I need to get bac to my work every jam, is at least a 100 grand,

But I hope that you have a Lovely sleep,

And wake up refreshed and rejuvenated for the week,

Eat some cold treats, and drink some cold drinks,

And unless your in the pool or at the beach Please stay out of this blistering Heat,

Its 2 Dam hot to type, My effing keyboard just might ignite, 

but I’m busy composing and designing instrumentals that's ultra-sounding tight, 

they inspire me to write, I want to be Like Michael Knight,

All the Ladies that sent me a message Yes I received your kite, 

So I wanted to respond and say hello and goodnite,

And a business plan is coming together if you’re going to do it, do it right,

No Lie, we fLy high, Light up the sky like the 4^th of juLy,

Making beats that’s so High Voltage I need to plug in my surge protector and power supply,

I Hate America? NO, I AM AMERICA I BEG YOUR PARDON,

I was raised in Kalani Village, New Havesha and the Hawaiian Gardens,

all Section 8 apartments,

and if you know what I mean, we can go deep like a submarine,

This titanium wont implode, but there’s so much energy, 

channeled in to me, if you tap into me, the grid might overload,

Don’t get it distorted, I’m creating content unlike anything b4 it,

Executives cant ignore it, I record it, they report it,

Now look up in the sky there’s an armada in orbit,

And you can hover with them but only if you can afford it,

Any pain they can inflict you best believe I can absorb it,

Do you think that you’re more important, just because you went to Harvard? 

If you think that these man-made intuitions have any real solutions,

Your jumping to conclusions, seeking acceptance and inclusion, but its all just an illusion,

Education is essential but its your brain Not a piece of paper that defines you,

What you are truly searching for in your hart of hearts will find you,

Do you feel as if you’ve lost your way well here let me remind you,

That you have Angels behind you,

I can sense their vibe and their mood, they tell me when to make my movez,

I may need to do a round of funding, and what I mean by that is me getting on my grizzly and hustling,  

But that aint nothing new, it’s a psychotic, schizophrenic, manic, unstable world it’s true,

But we stick together like a crew, bound by glue,

Like Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toadstool, we will make it through,

And for doing all the things that you do, I'm so grateful for you, and Congratulations too,

What’s happening everybody out there especially all the sweet silkys from the milky. I sincerely hope life is treating you well this year, and if it is not hang in there and persevere, at the end of the tunnel there is always a bright Light, and there is always a sunrise after every dark night.

So, this is just going to be a brief update I can’t write a manuscript today. I just wanted to take some time out to catch up with everyone. Drop good words on your brain and update you on where I’m at as far as my various projects go. If you don’t hear a lot from me, nowadays consider that a good thing. I will explain as we get further into this. I will say this thou that it is not for having materiel to discuss. There is so much going on in the world right now. There is an overwhelming number of topics we could delve into. I’ve been interested in the ongoing protests happening in France. So I’ve been following that story as it develops. It seems to me that the issue is not so much the reform itself, but rather how it was passed and force upon the people there. It brings up some serious questions. Why couldn’t more negotiation take place to get the reform passed? Could there have been something offered in exchange to offset what people are being forced to give up? What does this say about democracy itself? What other legislation that literally nobody  wants can just be forced upon the population. Like I said I’m not going to get into today but, we’ll keep watch of the situation as it develops and see what happens. That bring us to the labor revolution happening closer to home. With the writers’ strike going on in Hollyhood right now. Of course, I stand with the writers, I am a writer. Possibly I could be a member of the WGA in the future. The writers have a valid point that you can’t make the argument that you can’t afford to pay them. When we everybody can see huge profits being generated from their work. Then we can see this obscene, absurd amount of money you’re paying the CEOs. I don’t know how much longer they think they can get away with it, but it’s not an extreme statement to say there is some King Louis the XVI ish going down right now with top level executive pay. Things have become so ridiculously unbalanced. When someone is getting paid enough to pay every writer in the industry salary and still have still have a mountain of cash left over. I mean if your salary is like 400 million dollars. Okay fine I can accept that. Now you have to justify it and you should be able to write all the shows yourself for that much money, and produced them yourself too. That why you make the big buxx. If you can’t do that and you can’t, because nobody can then things need to be a little bit more balanced to be sustainable. I did want say that to the point about Artificial Intelligence and script writing. You cannot stop the implementation of modern technology. If the studios want to use AI to start performing some of their writing tasks, they’re well within their rights to do so. That’s one the of reasons we saw these massive layoffs across the technology sector recently. Due the fact they are now able to replace programmers and code writers with AI. An AI can write thousands of pages of code flawlessly in an instant. I think that screen writing is bit different thou. While an AI may be able to write the structure and bones of a script. I don’t believe that they will be able to communicate with nuance. You’re still going to need people to fill in dialogue humor and depth.  I want to say hang in there to the writers and we will be rooting for you and watching in anticipation to see how the situation plays out. Besides that, we’re going to get back to the “Acquire what you Desire” series we’re not done yet. “The Food that built America” is already into season four I’m not even done writing about season three but I still plan on doing so. One of the highlights of season four so far is the story of the guy who started Popeye’s chicken. What I found interesting about that situation is that there were two different companies that this guy had. One was Popeye’s chicken then there was a whole different company that owned and distributed the recipe to franchises. The guy actually ended losing control of Popeye’s to the bank, but since his other company still owned the recipe. They had to pay him 3.1 million dollars a year until he then died. Then they bought the recipe out from his estate for like 40 million dollars. I thought it was interesting that they didn’t just reverse engineer his recipe. Perhaps legally they couldn’t. We’ll dive deeper in to that later. The more I watch that show the more confident and inspired I feel about my own food product. Otherwise in the world of TV Battle Bots is in the midst of a pretty epic season. I know that this sport is going to explode onto the mainstream within the next few years. I want say congratulations to all the 2023 inductees to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, it was well deserved. A special shot out to the artists I’m most familiar with. Missy Elliot the first female rapper ever inducted also Rage Against the Machine. No need to name their accolades they are well known. They both have served as inspirations to me personally. A lot of these topics we will get further into later down the road when I get caught on my blogs. There’s a lot to get catch up with too. I still want to talk about the Johnny Depp vs Amber Herd case. I think I have an interesting perspective on this in regards my research on personality types and how you can easily predict the outcome of these sorts of situations coming. A short version of what I wanted to say about that is this. Human beings myself included never act outside their own personality type. Most people are one of two of the most common types. I personally am neither one of those two. People with any knowledge on the subject have probably figure what type I am already. It’s not that hard to do. So if you know that, then you know how I am going to react to any situation every time. The outcome will never change. Now in regards to Johnny Depp and Amber Herd, to simplify the situation I’ll use an illustration. If you put two Alpha personality types (which they both obviously are) in a room for a long enough time. Only one of neither of those people are going to walk out of that room alive. To sum this up learning about personality types is instrumental is finding happiness as well as your niche in life and this world and choosing your life and business partners wisely. For now, let’s switch gears and move on.    

Today I really wanted to do a brief personal update. I know I started the year off writing something every week. I don’t want anyone to think that I’ve been fatiguing on that. Rather that is just how my creativity comes out sometimes. It can happen in spurts depending on what I’m exposed to and what’s going on in my life at the time. Also we have to ration our energy and time there’s only so many hours in the day. To give you and example of what I mean by that is when I was running for an hour everyday my writing output slowed down drastically. I still run every day but just not for as long a period of time. Right now, I run for forty minutes a day every day. At the time when I was running for an hour a day it’s what I needed to for my personal health. Now while it did take away time and energy that I could have been put towards other stuff, if you look the other side of the same coin. In a year from now I will most likely only be running for about twenty minutes a day. On this same topic in about mid-August, it will be one full year that would have run on the treadmill every day.  At that I will write a blog detailing the entire experience. I will report on how it affected my life my health and the physical changes. Today we are about half way thru the year. At the start of the year, I started talking about how great this year was going to be and all the moves I would be making. So how did things turn out for me so far? I would honestly have to that 2023 has been wonderful, things have turned out much better than I even anticipated. I had some assets that actually appreciated. I hope you didn’t all the fear mongering didn't cause you to sell your digital assets. I won’t get into it today but anyone who knows a little something about the subject know why you should never sell yourself short, and be smart enough to see through all the smoke and fud. Besides that I have had a new business opportunity come my way. It’s a gig job the thing about it is that it is catered toward my specific skill set. My entire adult life transportation has always been my bread and butter. While this is a transportation gig it is on professional level requiring a commercial license and commercial insurance and it is the most premium level of  the service. Like Mr. Wonderful says ideally if you have a business, you want cater to the affluent. For me this business checks all the right boxes. The start up costs are minimal compared other businesses I’ve looked at. I remember discussing getting into the car hauling business a while ago. For the business I’m looking into now the equipment I need is way less expensive then buying a car hauler and a trailer and maintaining all that heavy equipment. The customer acquisition cost are zero. You have two of the biggest corporations in the world supplying you with unlimited customers. There’s no inventory to buy, maintain or budget for. There is very little risk in getting started. Even the equipment I have to purchase to get started (a  new blac-on-blac Luxury Vehicle) is an asset that I can sell, trade or keep. The competition should be minimal most people would have a difficult time meeting the requirements to join the program. For me it fits perfectly its right in my lane. This is what the sharks have taught me about how you attain success you find your niche then run with it as far as you can. I’m not a complicated person it doesn’t take a lot to make me happy. This is simple straight forward business with low overhead and low stress. So, I’m pretty excited about this new venture because of the level of freedom it would allow me to have for the first time in a long time. What I mean by that is it would allow me to expand my horizon an get out of my region more often. For example, if I want to drive out to Malibu or Laguna beach get a hotel, Y’all know I have like 1.5 million Wyndham hotel points. I could go out their work hang out go to the 24-hour fitness or whatever. Since I’m not tethered to job, I could just go anywhere and work like Las Vegas for the holidays. The bigger the city the more I could potentially earn. I can target conventions sports events stuff like that it’s all up to my own discretion. Imagine the adventures I can have but, I’m in no rush to quit my job as a truck driver. I have good job with a good work home life balance. While I want to start transitioning over to self-employment. I have to weight what I will be giving up in way of benefits like pto and health insurance. So, I will do both for a while until I can make a smooth transition over. I believe it’s going to be lucrative and good stepping stone to elevate to the next level, and help me secure the capitol or my other ventures.

Finally what I’ve been focusing on most recently is what is my actual core competency. I’m actively working on music production in some capacity almost every day. Everything else I do is an effort to draw attentions to my beats. In the near future we will explore an entire series on the creative process and how it works for me. For now, I wanted to let know that things are going quite well. I never pressure myself in creating. So I didn’t know how long it would take to get warmed up and get in my groove. Let me tell you the magic has just been flowing out of me. It feels amazing there’s nothing like creating something from nothing. It makes you feel productive, confident, inspired and motivated. I believe I’ve said this before but playing music is one of only activities I can think of where you are using your Left and right brain simultaneously at a high level. Not to start celebrating and patting myself on the back but when everything is coming out sounding tight you know you’re on a good trajectory.  So I might be focusing on the production side of thing for a while, because when you got the hot hand you have to stick with it. I haven’t really even caught fire yet I’m still just warming up but everything is sounding like a hit. So, I believe I will be able to create some pretty incredible stuff in the very near future. You never know when your going to make the song that changes your life. So forgive if I unable write in my blog as often just know its because I’m making new songs for you.  Thank you for your patience it’ll be worth the wait, and once I start back up I won’t stop again. Soon the music blog I’ve been speaking of for so long will be active and in full swing. As far as how I’m going monetize it, I’m contemplating a new business strategy. In music the business model changes every five years anyway. While my idea is not fully flushed out yet it’s going to involve collaborating with some creators (Apples & Oranges) whose content would be enhanced by some original, tight, fresh new beats. Together we could come up with some premium media content and shake up this small blue world. If you want to be one of the first to give this go please reach out to me don’t act shy. This means something because I have strong sense of loyalty to those who have helped me out. If not I seek out those who fit the bill, and yes you will get paid upfront and share in the residuals. As far as how I’m going to promote it beyond this website. I have an idea but I’m not completely sure. What I am sure of is as long as I continue to accumulate this cosmic energy the path forward will be made clear to me at the appropriate time. So like I mentioned if you don’t hear from me as frequently. Consider that good thing it means I’m on a roll creeping closer to my goal. I’m going to continue post these written blogs, like I said they really get those neurotransmitters firing and help out with my song writing. But right now I’m  not even thinking of Lyrics I’m in straight Beat-mode, So if I seem a bit aloof it’s because sometimes I get stuck in flow, and my essence is fazing between this dimension and the other where the wild things grow. I wish you all well, Let’s get prepared for an amazing summer full of wonder. And if you want to text me I believe you have my number ;-] 

Yeah I’m crazy, like a fox, Solid like a box of diamond roxx,

Flow cold as the winter frost as I walks the blocs,

I don’t fear the cost to be the boss and that’s my secret sauce,

Its not about your feelings its about the future of the children,

Are we really unwilling to stop drilling even thou it’s the planet that we are killing?

I’m still running everyday, running like a race,

I cut down to half an hour but I run at twice the pace,

I’m going to keep that higher pace and steadily increase my time,

As I stay on a quest to sharpen my body and my mind,

Doc said too much exercise can raise your cortisol,

Well that’s subjective and debatable,

When done properly exercise is therapeutic and will actually reduce the stress hormone variable,

She was like today I have to fly, the reply don’t forget to bring extra zip ties,

That was so funny I thought I was going to die,

Definitely funnier than anything recently on Saturday night Live,

I fell out the bed on my side, and cried, Let me tell you why, I feel fly, 

After running for an hour everyday for the last 8 months ½ an hour is like a slice of sweet cherry pie,

But first I had to build condition, and be on a mission in the kitchen,

I made a decision to not ask permission, to escape from this prison, we live in,

In our brainz, I feel refreshed by the rainz, but the days are getting strange,

So many incidents on airplanes and derailed trainz,

Once again I’m working on the beatz, So I might be a little quiet for the next few weeks,

But there’s no need to freak, I’m perfecting the recipe that you seek,

I have hair like a sheep, but I’m still quik on my feet in  the street, as I pound the concrete,

Earthquakes in one place after another as we go deep,

Into a phase of separation of the weeds and the wheat,

So you can tell the whole fleet, of the rewards we will reap,

If it is good words that we speak, 

And try running on a treadmill for an hour a day as a cure for insomnia if at night you cannot sleep,

Happy International Womens day! Celebrate the Women in your Life!

What's going on everybody? I hope everyone is doing well especially my favorite silkys, my friendz and I can't forget about the others who hover above us. I just wanted to drop by to say hi. I haven't been blogging a lot as of late just because I felt like it is not the appropriate time considering some current world events. Myself I'm doing fine I lead a very blessed life. Still there is a lot to discuss so rest assure I will be blogging again real soon.  Right now I am staying busy strategizing trying to figure out the best path forward. Also refreshing my inventory or producing more music and songs. I'm working in the lab today but I will be publishing a more complete full update in the upcoming weeks. Until then have a pleasant night and great weekend talk to you soon.

Week two 2023 

What is going on y’all? New year week two. It hasn’t been that long since we last connected so I’m just going to jump right into the business of the day. Now I don’t plan on writing a blog for every week of the year. Especially when I start dropping instrumentals, but I did have some thoughts this week and I wanted write them down and get them out there. So that’s what I am going to do. First off, the weather is one of my interests I like talking about it. I keep hearing about how crazy it’s supposed to get out here in cali. I keep reading these heavy sounding buzz words like “atmospheric river” and “bomb cyclone”. I like that they are cool sounding words that I can put into the lyrics of a song. But from my perspective it really hasn’t been all that bad and I work outside. Either driving in or directly exposed to the elements. The news is telling me I’m under a flooding warning when it hasn’t even rained in two days. I find it absurd that they say San Francisco is under a flood warning. I mean have you been to San Francisco? The whole city is pretty much a giant inline that drains directly in to the bay. Even in the mountains it’s not that crazy. The highways are still open. City people are still chaining up their tires and driving over the pass to go skiing and snowboarding in Tahoe for the long weekend. The weather has been a little bit wet and wild and people are freaking out because it’s raining but it is winter time people. I know your not use to it but I’ve lived out here a long time and it used to rain all the time. It just stopped for a while for whatever reason. For the last few years when I’m on the road all I see are billboards and banners that say pray for rain. Well ask and you shall receive. If you pray for something with good intentions and an honest heart it will manifest. If a lot of people pray for something it will definitely manifest itself into reality. Besides that, the weather really hasn’t been too out of the ordinary. Hail storms are not usual in the city of treez and a tornado will touch down like once or twice a year in the rural flat areas of town. Some trees and power lines got knocked down but no big deal. Just take the proper safety precautions. Where they did get hit pretty hard was on the central coast and in the central valley. Some of that was an infrastructure issue like in Santa Barbara County where the sewers got backed up. Santa Barbara is the wealthiest county in the wealthiest state in the wealthiest country in the world. I should know I was born there 20 minutes away from Neverland Ranch. So, you guys probably want to get those infrastructure issues taken of. If you choose to live right on the coast or the lowlands you are susceptible to flooding. You know the risk so plan according. Moving on switching gears….. 

Locally in my neighborhood where I currently live in Hollyhood, CA. Mr. In the Club himself 50 cent made an appearance at the grocery store yesterday literally within walking distance of my home. I thought about going up there but as much as I would like to meet Curtis Jackson. Who I do consider to be an entertainment mogul. I wasn’t going to go battle the crowd of groupies to buy a bottle cognac that I’m not going drink to meet him. When I did drink hard liquor which I do not at all anymore. I didn’t drink brown liquor yuk! I used to drink gin and juice maybe vodka if it was free. Getting back to Fifty he has been very opportunistic in his business endeavors but not in the negative connotation of the word. I can’t speak on some the antics he engages in for publicity. I personally don’t pay attention to that kind of stuff. I don’t consume a lot of the media he produces due to the fact that I don’t feel like it’s going to teach me anything or help me better my life. But that’s ok because there are lots of other people who do enjoy it and to each his or her own. He is successful and well connected. He has made some tunes that inspire happiness and joy in a lot of people. My favorite line of his is: “Have a baby by me baby and become a millionaire, I’ll write the check before the baby comes who the f*** cares”. Anyhow since I didn’t get to so I didn’t get to say this to him in person I’ll say here. WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!!!! Yeeeeeee!!! Let’s get down I am an asset and a creative work horse. I write, produce, mix, edit whatever the task calls for, I’m all about getting those results. Anyway, that’s it that’s all I wanted say. Moving on switching gears……. 

I did want to say my piece about the man of the day. Since it is the MLK day holiday weekend. Now I’m not going to go through his whole life and list all his accolades. Since most people know them already and it will be done on lots of other media outlets on this day. What I wanted to talk about was how this individual was without question was one of those rare genius level people, that only comes around once in a generation that uplifts, elevates, and inspires all those around him. Everybody is not blessed with those abilities. So that’s why in the last blog I said that when we find those diamond in the rough individuals that the people should rally around them. Although in the context of what I speaking about different people manifest their abilities in different capacities in their own area of expertise. Someone may be gifted in mathematics, science, medicine or they may be an inventor and so many different other areas. That fact remains that these people should get all of our support because they are the ones that are truly moving civilization forward. Where would we be without people like Thomas Edison, Isaac Newton and George Washington Carver? There are so many others that deserve credit I could never begin to name them all.  They are not using their talent simply for self-gain or just accumulating massive amounts of wealth just for the hell of it. I would like to note that Warren Buffet is one of those genius level investors that is accumulating a massive amount of wealth. But he doesn’t live an extraordinarily lavish lifestyle and  he has commit to donate his entire 100 billion dollar or so fortune to charity upon his passing. Today we’re specifically discussing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who possessed the rare talent to communicate, reason with, inspire and motivate mass amounts of people at the same time. What really leaves an impression on me about the good Dr Reverend is that he didn’t have to do what he did. Most people are not inclined to help others if they are not affected. While he was part of the larger civil rights movement going on at the time. He didn’t have to stick his neck out like that. Because let’s be honest he could have used his speaking abilities to start a mega-church in the south. He could have collected donations from all over the world and probably lived out a very comfortable life for the rest of his days being a televangelist . But not only did he not choose the path of least resistance. He choice a path that he knew would most likely get him killed. He died a young man at only 39. It makes you think what would he have been able to accomplish if he got to live his whole life out. When you are a genuine man of faith with a deep spiritual connection to the universe you know that this world and life is not all there is. You know that there is much more to it than that and even death is Not the final chapter. Because there is No final chapter the saga continues. This world is just a prelude to a greater reality. These are my thoughts for K-day. I will spend this holiday the way I spend every holiday working on music. Switching gears………. 

A few post ago I reached out with the Force to connect with those who got and understood my message. I wanted to show my appreciation because I was pleasantly surprised have some people respond to me through the Force. They sent me messages of compassion and encouragement. Somehow, they knew that their messages in a bottle would reach me as I knew that my message would reach them. Do you know what feels better than reaching a massive amount of people? Reaching the actual specific ones that you want to connect with and collaborate with in the near future.  To speak clearly like I said before those live human connections even across great distances are some of the best experiences in life you could ever ask for. It’s very encouraging to be in the loop with other creative minds who get and understand you. There work inspires me and it is such an amazing feeling to know that I inspire them as well even if it is just in a small way. Iron sharpens Iron so together we become better. I think that creators of my caliber do realize that in a world with an ocean of media content out there. One of the fundamentals of building not just a large following but an audience that is actually engaged is that personal touch. You can’t please everyone and I don’t even want to anyway. That’s one thing I like about having my own platform is not having to deal with the peanut gallery. So it may not be for everyone which is fine because there is something for everyone out there somewhere. As creators we have to choose our audience to a point. So if I can cater the audience that does understand me because our brains operate on similar frequencies, and if I can brighten up the day of my favorites silkys and make them smile. I am more than satisfied with those results, I’m elated. The last thing I wanted to mention was that my Sports Illustrated swimsuit calendar has notified me that next week is Chinese New Year, and do you know what this year is the year of? That’s right it’s the year of the Bunny Wabbit. I cannot see how that can’t be positive sign for things to come. Y’all know rabbits are my source of power and I feel stronger already. That is it for now party people. I didn’t get to say everything I planned on talking about. I watched some movies recently that I think are worthwhile of discussing. So, we will do that on the next one. 

Until then remember we are all connected through the Force so you are never truly alone. Maybe tonight we will be together in the land of dreamz where we all live in the manor kings and queens, It’s like a new life with a slice of paradise, Where things like jealously and war don’t exist anymore, And I would get to spend every day with the Silkys that I Adore, that’s the future I envision and what I strive for =) 

What’s going on everybody? I welcome you again to the show. This is going to be a brief journal entry. I just wanted to drop in and say hello and give my thoughts after this first week of 2023. In the short term you might see more of these short format blogs from me. As I carve out more time to produce, create and edit. I hope the new year is treating you well so far. For me I thought this first week was going to be more challenging than it actually was. I was expecting some really awful weather but it really wasn’t that bad. We had a few fierce storms blow through but nothing really extreme. As far as things happening in the world goes, as I watch my newsfeed and observe world events. I am continually reminded of that scene from Watchmen. It’s from 2009 but still one of the best superhero movies to date.  It’s the scene with Owlman and the Comedian. Now the Comedian is a character that seems to be based off the Joker. His outlook on life and the world was this all must be a joke. But not funny in the way of humor but funny in the sense of irony and absurdity. So he decided to become a parody of life itself. So in this there’s this huge chaotic riot taking place. Owlman emotionally looks over at the Comedian and says: “What happened to us? What happened to the American dream?” With a maniacal smile on his face Comedian brashly responds: “What happened? It came true your looking at it”. That scene has always stuck with me and that line pretty much sums it all up for me. I have a few thoughts on some the events of the week that stood out for me. To football player who had the cardiac event during the game. I do send him my thoughts and prayers and wish him a full recovery and a long life of good health. In regards to the controversy surrounding the incident I would like to say. There is no controversy. American football is violent and dangerous and there is risk involved, but it’s not bad violence because it’s competition not malicious violence.  We live in a society where we’ve worked to minimize the danger involved in these hazardous professions a lot of us have chosen. Like me I’m a truck driver at least for now. I realize that every time I get on the freeway I take my life in my hands. No should get hurt or God forbid killed just for doing their job but the risk still exist. All we can do try to be as safe as possible. 

Switching gears, I heard the Taliban has banned all women girls and from attending any college or even high school. Come on guys this is petty and ridiculous. This is me sincerely trying to be the voice of reason to you. This is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. The women of your nation are your greatest and most valuable resource.  As they are that of any culture.  Instead of acting like a jealous boyfriend a smart leader would realize to make the most of their people they should be educated so they can contribute to their society for the benefit of all. A forward moving society should rally around it’s best and brightest to elevate them as a whole. Notice I didn’t say its most successful. Due to the fact that some have gained success because they are just more opportunistic than others. Besides the ability to exploit and manipulate opportunistic are not necessarily bringing any talent or innovation to the table to help move society forward. Back to my original point. How are you going to find the best and brightest of your society, those diamonds in the rough those special people the geniuses who elevate everyone around them, if you are suppressing half your population. Your chances of finding those once in a generation individuals are greatly diminished.  As far as human behavior is concerned those who feel mistreated by authorities tend to respond by lashing out and abusing and oppressing those who they have authority over. For example a child who is abused by a parent may turn around and abuse his siblings or bully his classmates. I draw a comparison to how countries like Afghanistan and Iran have been kept under the thumb and society completely destroyed by some western powers. This is not a critic of mine but rather just an observation. To part of the reason why governments are reacting in this manner with these gross human rights violations. So that in the future when reasonable sane people control the world. We can look at the big picture get to the root of the problem. Create some real solutions instead of only trying to profit off of people’s dire situation for selfish gain. All the people of the world who are unjustly persecuted are worthy of our support. I will continue to speak out against regimes as long as they continue to oppress women. 

Switching gears recently saw a commercial for a show I’m not going to watch. I’m not discouraging you from watching it I don’t watch a lot of TV anyways due to my pretty full life schedule. Anyhow the show is about celebrating 50 years hip hop. Not to be the one to rain the parade I just wanted to point that unlike any other music genre in the world, hip hop has become a culture where 80% percent of those who become really successful at it are murdered usually by their peers. Over the years hip hop has allowed itself to become the vehicle that corporations along with the private prison industry have been able to use glorify murder, death, incarceration and criminality to children. I don’t say this to disparage the artform. I say this so we can remove the poison from our culture. End these horrible trends, move forward in a more positive direction towards brighter future that brings prosperity to all. That’s all for now cool people I have much more to say but I have other matters to attend to today.   

It’s a brand New Year we head to week two I’m still grateful for you,

Good Dreams and a pleasant night =)

Hello everybody no matter where you might be land, air, space or sea, I hope all my Friendz are doing just as well as me. Welcome again to the home of the “Silky Smoove Blogcast Broadcast”. Here with another post I’m your host from the coast that gets it poppin the most. This isn’t going to be a very long blog entry. I just wanted to take some time and reach out with the Force and connect with you on this first day of this year. To tell you the truth I meant to get this post out last night before the year turned over, I was half way through writing this. I was talking about the rainy day and how I thought the rain was sexy, inspirational and arousing. I was talking about how I was home chilling in my full length plush Jedi robe and slippers with my bowl of soup. Listening to the rain pour down and the wind howl. I mentioned about how many songs are written about rainy days, like “Purple Rain”, “Can You Stand the Rain?”, “I Saw You Walking in the Rain”. I could go on and name countless others but I digress. I guess 2022 wanted to go out with a bang because that storm yesterday was not playing around. It came down on us with a vengeance. It knocked out the power out as I was writing this. We lost power about 7:45pm pacific. I was expecting it to come back on within an hour or so but it didn’t. It’s so funny how losing one thing we probably take for granted everyday like electricity. You go from being a king in your castle connected to everybody in the world and possibly beyond. To being cold alone in the dark vulnerable and isolated. Life just stops, what can you do? That doesn’t happen out here very often. I knew where my lighter was at so I used that to help my find little flash light. Fortunately, I was able locate a couple candles. I didn’t even leave them lit very long, because what was I going to do? My only options were either read or workout. So I did the only sensible thing I blew out the candles and climbed in the bed underneath two blankets. I have a few battery operated personal massage devices stored under the bed. So I grab one and powered it up. I was surprised how much light the massager gave off in the dark. I just laid there  and massaged my legs and I have been in need of doing that since I’m still running for an hour every day. So I’m just laying alone in the house listening to the wind howl I could hear it breaking stuff outside and the rain is just pouring down in buckets. The actual scientific term is an “atmospheric river”. Which basically is so much moisture picked up by the storm from the ocean that it creates a river in the sky that pours down at a massive rate. After my massage I drank a kombucha beer and dosed off listening to the storm. It was pleasant and peaceful. The power came back on about midnight. I figured it was midnight because I could hear all the fireworks and gunshots going off, also the storm had passed. I found it somewhat ironic that just as the year ended the storm also ended right on que. Still I didn’t even get up I stayed sleep. I knew I wanted to get enough rest to get up early to workout in the morning. Because there is no way I was going to miss going to the gym on January 1. Especially since I’m off tomorrow Monday and I’m usually not. That’s another thing I wanted to bring up. I thought I would have more time through to work on stuff during the holidays but it didn’t work out like that. See on my usual schedule I work four days a week. So when the holidays roll around we’re not going to get an extra day off in addition to our regular day off. No they just jumble around our days off to fit, but we do get holiday pay so its extra money. My point is the holidays this year were not as productive as I would have liked them to be. But like the scripture says unforeseen circumstances befall us all. Sometimes you have to set your self up to be productive the next time. Whether that be tomorrow or next week. This situation does make me empathize more with people who have to live without electricity on a daily basis. I got up today there was not a cloud in the sky brilliant sunshine. It was cold and windy. But I’m glad I went to the gym I had a good workout, I had fun mostly good vibes. I did resistance training for a little over two hours and I left in a good mood which actually put me in a better frame of mind to write today. It’s always a good sign that the first day of the year turns out to be a good day.  Keep in mind when I leave the gym I’m still not done working out for the day. I’m still in the midst of my running experiment where I run on the treadmill every day for one hour. I’ve done that every day for the past 16 straight weeks. Now I do admit that as I get deeper into the music production an I have to carve out more time for that I may have to adjust my routine. I already kind of have done that. See I found when I get home from work Friday afternoon I jump on the treadmill as soon I can and run. I do whatever Friday night I’ll usually clean up and cook for the week. Then Saturday I wake up as early as my body allows me to. It depends on how rough the week was. Then the first thing I do Saturday morning is run. So in between Friday and Saturday I found that I wasn’t giving my body enough time to recover, So Saturdays runs were not as productive. So just recently I started running for just a half an hour on Saturday but at a faster pace. Which works well because I’ve been trying to use Saturday for day when I do stuff like work on music or write blogs. Now when I started putting out music tunes more regularly, I’m not going to stop writing the blogs. There is a whole a lot more that I want to and I will write about, in a variety of different subject matters. Also the blog writing get those neurotransmitters firing and it helps with my song writing. Keep in mind that as far as these long format blogs I want to write the stories are still unfolding and sometimes I wait a while so I can tell a more complete story. This brisk cold weather is perfect to run in so I’m taking advantage. My point is that as I become busier, I will probably be doing more half hour run days. On Sundays which happens to be today. After I do resistance training for two plus hours. I still go home and run but I do the full hour. You would think it would be harder to run after lifting weights for two hours but its not. It actually seems to be easier. But all in all, I’m continuing to run every day because I like the results. The 12 pac is starting to come in. I’m starting to see my side obliques but I admit it’s been difficult to develop my lower abs. Which means either I’m not targeting them effectively enough in my workouts or I need to lose more body fat. It’s probably a little bit of both. Keep in mind that with bodybuilding in this sport your main competition is yourself. You don’t need to compare yourself to other people. Whether it’s your exercise routine, nutrition or supplementation it’s all about learning about your body a seeing how it responds to what your doing. When you find what works for you and tune it up like a classic car. 

What I didn’t get to say yesterday is that 2022 for me was a year of turbulence it was definitely a challenging year. At the same the time as far as personal growth goes. I think it was possibly the best year of  my life. Though I still have a way to go I feel like I’m becoming the man that I want to be. Every obstacle that was place before me I have been able to find a solution to overcome it. I sometimes think “am I just now getting to the good part of my life it sure took long enough”. In the past year some unbelievable, incredible, marvelous happened for me and to me. No matter what happens going forward no one can take those experiences away from me. I just wanted say that those human connections and interactions are one the most valuable things in this life. We’re put on this planet to help each other. I want to help those who I can because I have people that have inspired to do that. It can be unexpected but you can run across that person that is the catalyst that serves to propelling you into who you are supposed to be. It may not go in the way that you think it should and you will with out question face adversity. I don’t just believe I know for a fact that there is a greater reason that we on this world are tested. I said a while back in this blog that I wasn’t going away. You see that I kept my word I’m still here with you. I don’t  know how far I will get within the music business it’s a difficult terrain, but like I once said before as far as what I am capable of doing, I don’t feel like I’ve even scratched the surface yet. When I do reach my potential the platform is not going to matter. When I’m operating at my peak performance great things will happen. As we start a new year but continue on our journey, I will continue to build upon this foundation. To those who are wondering yes, I do have access to my full catalog and it will re-emerge at the proper time. At this point in my life, I know this music production is what I’m supposed to be working on and I’m so excited to do just that. I’m going to be able to bring all the different techniques that I’ve learned and developed over the years together and create some interesting soundscapes. You will see and hear it won’t be too long from now I Promise. I wanted thank anyone that has taken the time to stop by and read my thoughts. But the real special thanx goes to the Silkys who are the main inspiration of my content creation. I’ve been thinking of ways to show you my appreciation. When I get my music factory back in 100% operation there will be plenty of song dedications. Before that I may create a temporary playlist as a page on this site. Like a prelude to good vibes silky smoove mixtape radio @night. I feel good about what the future has in store, partially because the future is what we make to be. I will be in regular contact in one form or another. If you want to, I welcome you to stay tuned. Allow me to say this one more time. Good night and pleasant dreams no matter where you might be, land, air, space or sea. I wish all my Friendz Love, Joy, Happiness and Success in the year 2023 =)  

Even though most likely my origins are from another planet. I am still human probably. So I just want to say a little piece when I learned from my Sports Illustrated swim suit calendar that today is “Universal Human Rights Day”. Today’s world is riddled with human rights violations across the globe and completely across the board. Although there are to many situations for me to address them all now.  The Women’s revolution happening in Persia currently stands out in my mind. While every culture at some point has its own version of a women’s revolution. This one seems to be playing in a particularly brutal fashion. It’s even reminiscent of the civil rights movement in America in the 1960’s. With the protesters being shot, bombed, lynched, beaten and hung. From some the interviews I listened to this morning from people from there. This is actually not a sign of strength from the regime, but actually a sign of weakness and desperation. With their leaders actually moving their resources out of the country and preparing to flee. Even with all the violence and killing the protesters are showing no signs stopping or backing down. That what happens when people don’t have anything left to lose anymore. Those who have studied history know that people are willing to die for their freedom. To quote the greatest poet in history 2pac Shakur “the meaning of ThugLife is: Give me Liberty or give me Death”. Basic human rights should be upheld for all of humanity if we are to evolve and ascend to the stars or if we are even to survive as a species. 

HUMAN Rights Day is observed every year on December 10 to highlight the fundamental human rights of every human. It is observed with the aim to create awareness and promote rights and freedom in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in 1948. This year will observe the 74th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Human Rights are universal, according to which everyone should be treated equally and with respect. The day celebrates the achievement of the people who protected human rights. The day is observed by numerous conferences, webinars, cultural events and exhibitions worldwide. The theme for Human Rights Day 2022 is "Dignity, Freedom and Justice For All." The declaration and WHO's Constitution assert that health is a fundamental human right for all people. 

Human Rights Day 2022: What are Fundamental Rights? Fundamental rights are defined as basic human freedom in which every citizen has the right to live and proper and harmonious life. Basic fundamental human rights include: 

1. Right to life 

2. Freedom from slavery and torture 

3. Right to work and education 

4. Freedom of opinion and expression 

5. Right to privacy 

6. Right to education 

7. Right to property 

8. Right to freedom of religion 

9. Right to constitutional remedies 

10. Right to equality 

Alright I just wanted to drop some positivity on you today. I hope your weekend is going well. That storm that woke me this morning was amazing I Love witnessing the power of nature it’s so inspirational. I spent all morning in business meetings I had some very productive conversations regarding product development. Then I did my workout and ran of course. Right now I’m working on flipping switch into producer mode and making the transition to Tik Tok. The plan remains the same new music and songs here weekly then eventually daily. I have plenty of music stored up although I may make some changes and modernize some my older stuff that nobody has heard yet. For me it’s just a matter of getting in the zone and the mode of creating on daily basis. So that once I start there won’t be a time where I stop posting for a long time. Build the momentum up and keep it this time is the objective. Yes, there is a few more long format blogs and updates I still have to write regarding a few different subject matters I want to address. I usually have extra time during the holidays I may write them then. If I’m not working on something else. I appreciate you staying tuned it sends me to the moon to all the Silkys that I adore stay smooovvee talk to you soon.

As another year draws to a close, My mind goes into calculation mode, 

As I strategize on what needs to be done to make my business explode, 

I’ve always had the drive but now I know the code, 

Follow the yellow brick road, 

I take a minute to think, while the world is on the brink, 

They firing shells at my battleship but it just won’t sink, 

So I paint pictures with ink, be careful how you think, 

And you are what you drink, 

Its so electrifying, 

Like a sermon on mt. Zion, 

Or hotter than the Lava flowing from the volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island, 

The protesters are still crying, 

Because their daughters and sisters are still dying, 

And their leaders are still lying, 

If they don’t prevail it won’t be from a lack of trying, 

Will they ever be free? I have to believe Yes! like Daniel Bryan, 

Don’t have a fear my dear I can see things clear, 

And the stratosphere is where I plan to be within another year, 

And if I’m not, I still won’t stop, 

Because the lifestyle I want to provide it’s going to take a lot, 

And it doesn’t concern me what somebody else bought, 

Because it doesn’t matter to me what the next man got, 

People can be so hateful its true, but I’m so grateful for you, 

For always staying Silky Smoove and doing what you do, 

As I learn to control the elements and artificial intelligence, 

I try to strike the right balance between relevance and elegance, 

And when I perfect the recipe that’s when I’ll attain my destiny, 

The season is freezing but my vision is something that I believe in, 

I will return soon with more heated speeches until then have a groovy weekend, 

What happening everybody in cyberspace and outer space?  Well, Hello there, and Welcome to the home of the Silky Smoove blogcast broadcast. A place where you can go and you can always count of a dose of reality but also a re-charge of positive energy vibes. I sincerely hope life and the universe is treating you well as we come into a change in season. That was a long summer I thought it was never going to end. Sometime in early September we hit the temperature record out here of 116 degrees. I remember that day but I was home by 1 o’clock so it wasn’t really too bad for me. Then it was hot temperature in the nineties all the way through October. It didn’t seem like it got cool until right on November 1st. Now it’s so cold in the morning like 40 degrees makes you not want to get out of the bed. The perfect time to relax by a roaring fire in the fireplace a hot bowl of soup, maybe like some Thai coconut curry medium spice and be snuggled up with your favorite silky, oh yeah. I guess for now I’ll have to settle for just the soup ha-ha. No need to worry we know it gets greater later. I am glad it finally cooled off. It helps at work even the few days I got rained on pretty bad it was still a refreshing change of pace. Works been ok some days are better than others. San Francisco is the hardest city to work in for a few different reasons. I work there 3 days a month. While there is a lot I could say about San Francisco I won’t at this point. Perhaps that’s something I’ll save for a book later on. As you know I’m a truck driver and being as that I work in healthcare, I’m pretty limited about what I can say about my job legally. I feel fortunate to have the position that I do.  I believe it’s giving me some good karma points. It’s allowing me to work towards other opportunities. You can have lots of good ideas and motivation but, if you don’t have resources to finance your ideas and bring them to life you’re not doing much. Depending on your situation it can take time to free up the capitol needed to push your plans forward. “Regardless of the circumstances its mandatory to pay your bills and keep your credit straight, or it will be very difficult to maneuver and elevate. To the silkys in that great glass elevator I’d like to congratulate, Perhaps I’ll join you one day and we’ll celebrate”. But seriously over the last several months I feel as if I’ve developed a good routine that’s working for me. As this year comes to a close when I think about a year ago. I’m doing so much better than I was then and, in another year, I can’t see myself anywhere short of the stratosphere. As to why, while I can’t put everything in my life out there but I will discuss as much as it is reasonable to do so. 

Which brings us to this week’s topic in our current ongoing series “Acquire What You Desire”: Becoming the Best Version of yourself Intro. I feel that this is an appropriate topic of discussion because it progresses subject matters that we have previously visited. When we spoke about becoming healthy physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. What happens when you do achieve this in these various aspects of your life? Well, you will acquire a measure of completeness. You should be congratulated for accomplishing this very important first step. Still this is just the very beginning of our journey. It’s the necessary solid foundation for the figurative structure we are seeking to build. So every level upwards we ascend to is us becoming a better version of ourselves with the goal of ultimately becoming the absolute best version of ourselves. In this exercise we will refer to version of ourselves as our “True-Form”. So let’s think about it. No matter what it is that you are seeking to achieve or acquire in your life right now, how much more likely do you think it makes it that you will be able to reach this accomplishment if your are in your True-Form? You know the answer to that it goes without saying. This subject also really captures where at in life I am right now. Now not that I am in my true-form I’m nowhere close but I am in a phase of pre-enlightenment reaching for what is next on the higher levels.  Also true-form can be a relative term because when it comes to one’s health there’s always room for some improvement. I would make the point that having this basic amount of functional health can be considered more important than having a lot of scratch in certain circumstances. Due to the thought process that what good is the scrilla going to do you if you don’t have your health? Your financial resources can quickly be diminished if your mind isn’t on point. Or you can come into some measure financial success and most certainly still not be happy. You could come into millions and be in a position power. If you handle your business in a haphazard manner chances are your success will not be long lasting, or you even risk losing it all. As this year draw to a close I’ve been spending time pulling my business affairs in line. Even if you don’t have a mountain of resources on hand your business still has to be tight. This is good because when the time comes and you do a lot of resources at your disposal you’ll be more fiscally responsible. I started a business with the launch of my first product a couple years ago.  While the product didn’t fail and I’m proud of that, because most don’t do even that well on their first go around. While other forces were at work that hindered that product from being an outright success. Regardless of the circumstances that particular product is not the one that is going to lead me to financial independence. Keep in mind you can have a good product that people do buy. Even so you still you may not have a business if the numbers don’t work. It could be that at one point the numbers did work but some factors changed which they often do and the business is no longer viable. Things that can change that you have to calculate in are manufacturing costs and the different fees involved for your storage, shipping and fulfilment. So I acquired some inventory of my product when I did have a good path forward. Then I kind of got the rug pulled up from underneath me and brought those plans to a grinding halt. The position I was in I had to put the product on ice and push it into the background. While the product is still out there and has some popularity and does sale. Which is fortunate because it should allow me to sale through my remaining amount of inventory. Some people get stuck with a bunch of merchandise they can’t sale. Recently international shipping prices have come down from there record pandemic highs, which gives me some hope. Still I’m looking to put this business out to pasture after my inventory sales through, but you never know I always have the option to bring it back. I’ll probably keep it around in some very small capacity, as I look towards my next ventures. I don’t feel demoralized or discouraged by the ordeal. Quite the contrary I feel motivated and excited about what I’m going to do next which I’m sure when will allow me to level up and get off the hamster wheel. So I can actually focus my energy on where it should be. I’m not 100 percent sure what comes next product wise. I talked a lot about my food product I created. Now when I talk about the level of difficultly involved with this product what I don’t mean is the marketing. Presenting it to the public in this day and age is going to be the easy part. It’s a food product it looks appetizing and taste delicious its very demonstrable. You utilize social media the right influencers, it’s not that difficult of an equation. You don’t have to be vegan or vegetarian to enjoy it, this product has broad application. All these positive attributes still don’t mean this product is going to be a company or a business. You have to see if the numbers work and then you have to make them scale upwards. What I think is going to hard about a food product is the legalities involved. There might be clinical testing that needs to be done. I might have to work with some food scientists to get the recipe ready for mass production. It’s probably going to be pretty involved, but when you catch lighting in bottle it’ll all be worth it. With that I’ll probably almost certainly have to take my knowledge and experience and start with a easier product first. The food product might just end up being something that I go on the internet and show people how to make themselves. That doesn’t mean I won’t be able to capitalize off it when it becomes popular. Just like any recipe its possible for you make yourself or even make your own version. It would just be time consuming. That why this product is designed for people who want to eat gourmet cuisine that is ultra nutritionally dense delicious but don’t have time. Also it would work well for restaurants of all kinds as a component for possibly hundreds of different dishes, It would cut down their prep time dramatically. Even so for the reasons stated before I’ll most likely will get the ball rolling with something easier like a specialty cleaning or shaving kit. I have a little bit of an inside trac in these industries. Or I may do something completely different. I’ll just have to do my research find where the opportunity resides. I feel confident in saying that within a short amount of time I will have a company that will replace me having to work a traditional job. Just to attain that next level of freedom in life is going to be amazing. Just to be able have the freedom to travel out of my region on regular basis and have more experiences. Also a big part of success is proximity to meet and interact with those who you can help elevate and they can help too. This is going to be part of any successful person’s migration. Also to be able to use what I feel is one of my better attributes in my creativity to earn a living would be such an ideal situation. While this may seem like a long winded over explanation into my business affairs. To those who know SEO wise the writing helps bolster the ranking of my website. Also believe it or not there is a lot of people out there who like to read, yes they actually enjoy it. Understand that as of right now I am laying the necessary ground work for my future projects. As I am working proactively towards in the near future transforming this blog into a primarily a music blog where I will publish Instrumentals and songs on a regular basis. I believe that it is important for me to state that In the short term while I enter into this transformational phase. There may be short periods of time where you won’t hear from me in this manner. Due to the fact that I am working on music and my mind is in a different mode.  In the long term once we get the entire system figured out I think it’ll produce some really great work. We’ll get in the zone and start pumping out the hits like a factory. Also I have a bunch of unreleased music I always tend to try stay busy creatively whenever possible. So a big piece of the puzzle is how to go about putting it out so that it is appreciated and garners the proper respect. Even though I don’t have that path completely figured out. We’ll have to talk to some people and try some stuff. I still feel a sense of urgency because I do feel it is important not keep the people that do follow me waiting for to much longer. Also for myself for a long time it was such a big part of who I am. As of recently even though I would describe my life as headed in the proper direction and actually going rather well. I still feel like a large part of me has been missing. Getting back in the saddle and publishing music again will help to fill that void if at least to a small degree. 

So after spending a little time discussing my own business ventures and struggles. I think this is a good time to segway into discussing some other entrepreneurs and business icons. That way we can learn and also draw colorations and comparisons to on our own path. This will help us draw inspiration from these real world situations. So I’ve wrote about before about how much I love the movie “the Founder” I still fall asleep to it almost every night. As much as I enjoy that movie I can’t for the life of me figure out why there hasn’t been at least two sequels to this movie. Because as incredible as the Ray Croc story is, in my opinion the stories of Glenn Bell and even more so Dave Thomas are even more remarkable. I’m just going to give you some of the highlights but I would definitely go watch their episodes because their stories are amazing. Glen Bell this guy this true-form entrepreneur had to start over from nothing zero three different times. He started out as a cook in the marine corps after that he opened a hamburger stand in San Bernadino. His wife divorced him because he was a workaholic and took the hamburger stand. When he had the idea to make Latin inspired food initially he couldn’t get financing because the banks didn’t want to take a chance on something that was considered exotic at the time. He altered the traditional recipe for the taco and reworked it for the American palette. He created what is known in the US as the modern day crunchy taco. He knew there was a large market for an alternative to the hamburger. Its common sense people don’t want to eat the same thing every time they go out. Since he couldn’t get start up capitol he had to he had take on financial backing and get a partner. They were able to create a successful company called taco tia with several locations. When this partnership fell apart because he saw the larger potential but his partner didn’t want to take on any more risk he had to leave that business and start over again. For a while he had a consultation business in where he was instrumental in the success of several different restaurants. When he opened his first taco bell it was an instant success. One of his managers later when to found del taco. Still at the time Mexican food was still consider risky so he couldn’t convince people to franchise. He had to open his own second location where he did all the work and had another guy pretend to be his franchisee. All he asked the guy to do was spend the profits as lavishly as he could. He had him go out and buy cadillacs and boats so that other people could see that owning a taco bell would make them rich. His plan worked and his company grew rapidly. The business really began to turn a corner when he had the idea to start staying open late nights. He knew had lighting in a bottle. He seized on the opportunity fast forward his company is one of the largest and most successful in the world.  I’m going stop there because Dave Thomas is just on a whole another level. I have such respect for him I need to do his story justice and really focus on it in the next entry. 

As an update on my own fitness journey and me trying to become the best version of myself. I’m still involved in the running experiment. I haven’t missed a day in going on 12 weeks now. Since about a month ago when I ran for an hour and half. I haven’t run for anytime less than an hour straight. An hour is not that difficult for me anymore. I’m not running over an hours’ time because you know life. Instead, I’ve been trying focusing pushing the pace higher so I’m running a bit faster. Where I could use some improvement is I haven’t been making into the actual gym for resistance as much as I would like to. While I can workout at home so I’m not missing days. I would still rather make it in the office and get a better workout in, and still come home and run for an hour. Due to the fact that those days seem to be the most transformational physically. So I’ve been pretty consistent. I’ve been making into the gym like 1 – 2 times a week, workout at home the other days and run everyday 7 days a week. I would like to also state that my work is very physical. In the near future it’s my goal to make in the gym more often I think 2 - 3 days a week would be good. When I do miss a day going to the gym it’s not for a lack of motivation. It’s just due to having a full schedule to keep up with. I usually I’m doing something like writing a blog trying to stay in communication with my audience or working on some new music or something music related. The change in weather helps with the workouts its easier to run when its cooler. Also running helps when it’s freezing when you get on that treadmill after about 20 minutes your body temperature is warm no matter how cold it is in the house or outside.  Although running for does take a chunk out of your day, In this phase I’m getting my body adjusted so I can do everything that I need to do and not be deficient in any area. As far as the running goes I’m continuing the experiment because the results have been dramatic. My body composition compared to three months ago is drastically leaner. One hour seems like the magic number. Everyday when I wake up and look in the mirror I feel like I see change. So as long as I’m seeing these kinds of results I’m going to keep it up and try to progress the program until I reach my true-form physically. Even though were talking about self-improvements of a physical nature. The mind and the body are one and one can pull the other up or one can drag the other down. It makes you feel really good and that makes good things start happening to you. The days when you work lower body like with squats, lunges and bridges then come home and run those are the best days. It makes the muscles in your legs feel great. It makes you feel strong, dominate and stable. What I said before about it causing you to collect all this positive cosmic energy it still seems to be true, so I’m going to try figure out what I’m tapping into hanging by the moment here with you. Alright y’all I’m going to getty up on out of here. I hope you had a great weekend and I hope you have an awesome upcoming week. I will always remain in touch as much as my schedule allows. Remember Strength is in the Force not the flesh. I'm about to go heat up some SOUP! ttys      

I wasn’t going to do this but I just couldn’t stay away from all my silkys, 

from the Milky, So this one goes out from California, to Alabama to Philly, 

really can you feel me, if you leave me it would kill me 

This is becoming my addiction, my affliction, 

I might need a prescription, for my condition, 

Pay close attention as I convene this intervention, 

I’m a rebel on a mission, I observe no traditions, 

The past is the past and that’s my final decision, 

So bring your inquisition, I’m holding my position, 

I’m a New Edition, to the X-files Division, From the 5th Dimension, 

I don’t know the future but I have a Premonition, 

Inflation I heard, is just a made up word, 

For when corporations price gouge and then kick you to the curb, 

Is there something wrong with me writing down the things that I’ve observed? 

So much greed it’s disgusting, In return they give us nothing, 

They don’t give a dam as long as the pumps keep pumping, 

The thing that’s really the most Troubling, 

They don’t seem to realize that the Real Storm is Bubbling, 

I am one with the Wind Water Solar and the Earth, 

and I will be there when a new XO-planet is birthed, 

an Octopus has 3 hearts and 9 brains, 

they can shape shift and color change, 

they’re smart enough to know your name, 

but smart enough not to play your game, 

They shoot venomous ink, and as fast you can blink, 

They can go from orange, purple, platinum to pink, 

They use Jet propulsion to fly through the Ocean, 

how many sea creatures will die now that pipeline has been blown open, 

an International problem requires an International resolution, 

Research why these countries are collapsing before jumping to conclusions, 

With patriotic paranoid Delusions,  

Why the hell is Hade always going crazy? Bombings on the daily, by the river Euphrates, 

and the Gaza Plaza, and what about La Raza, so many media reporters and children disappeared like david copper, Jimmy Hoffa, or harry potter, 

and Lately I've noticed a whole Helluva lotta Helicopters,

44 days as Prime Minister really are you joking, 

Couldn’t outlast the head lettuce so what are the torreys smoking, 

Now the Pound is down and their energy grid is broken, 

Iran’s leaders are still killing protesters and cheerleaders, 

an American citizen got 16 years for a mildly critical post on tweeter, 

and the East is about to feel the chill because someone just turned off all the heaters, 

alright y’all that’s all I got for you today. This weekend I have to do my meal prep for the next six weeks or so. I may do an update to this post, talking about my meal prep routine and how the process has evolved and how the product is developing. For now I’m going to getty up on out of here. I hope you have great night and a wonderful weekend. Talk to you again soon. May the Force be with you. 

First off what’s up to all the Silkys? I like that word. If I ever start streaming a podcast that’s going to be my catchphrase. For now, this is me staying in touch, So what’s good everybody no matter where you may be land, space, or sea as always I hope all my Friendz are doing just as well as me. This won’t be a long update I just wanted to say Hello since the last few weeks I’ve just been writing flowz. That’s just me having fun with news and headlines remember I’m a poet not a pundit.  There’s so much going on seems like the whole world is on the brink. Seems like the four horsemen of the apocalypse are galloping at a full pace. What doesn’t make sense is the solutions are right in front of our face. I could go on forever about the deficiencies and out right insanities in our systems and society. A few years ago I would have but that’s when I still believed we lived in a world where logic and reason were still a factor. They are not, instead they have been replaced with ideology and greed.  I am not discouraged and you shouldn’t be either. The Universe still speaks to me it was about six weeks ago they sent me a sign. I interpreted the sign to mean for me everything is going to be fine. So, you see when I do the things that I do it because my concern is for others and people like you. I want to transition back over to a realm were things still make sense a realm of melodies and rhythm. I plan to delve deeper into my music productions. Since platform and audience wise, I’m pretty much starting over from scratch. Which is fine I feel at the end of the day it’ll make me a stronger producer. I plan to start off by posting instrumentals to tik tok and my blog of course. I’m going to go further into the animation too so that the videos have that visual aspect. I really like the idea of focusing on producing instrumentals for a while, because as a beatmaker I am not restricted by making a trac that someone has to sing over. I can just let my imagination run wild for a time. You can make songs that are very complex and long and you can tell your story with many layered sounds and breakdowns and change ups. It’s a new challenge that help get my left brain working in new directions, and not just urban and r&b stylez all kinds different sounds, flavors and vibes.  Then as I find and grow my audience we’ll get back to the live videos and miniature films. It shouldn’t be to difficult producing beats comes pretty easily to not only just by nature but also because I’ve been doing it for twenty years, and I’ve always been able to come up with bangers ever since day one. I could do it in my sleep and sometimes I do dream up new song ideas. I think for people like myself artists creating the music is the easy part. It’s just what we do and we enjoy it, but it’s life and everything that surrounds it that can be intricate, that’s why most will quit, but would I do that? When all it takes to change your life is for one song to be hit. I know what I am capable of and if I had the time the resources and the platform to speak, I could make a hit song for every day of the week. I also have ideas for creator collabs with those who I feel could benefit from my beats that are unique, neat and certified heat. I also want to collab with some live musicians too so that everything is not just strictly produced. I want to prove myself as a musician and focus on the music not the antics. This music thing has caused some pretty incredible amazing things to occur in my life so I have to see where this path is going to take me. 

                                                 Fifty Dollar Treadmill Update 

So I am very happy to let you know that the fifty dollar treadmill still works like it’s brand new runs smooth as butter. You know most home work out equipment just plain doesn’t work. Due to the fact that people don’t use them. One of the biggest aspects of a successful business is resource allocation. When you are a large business, your resources are capitol, talent and labor. When you are a one man company like myself when you’re talking about resources you’re talking about time and energy. So the reason I haven’t been writing as much lately is I’ve been spending more time training. It something I haven’t really done before in that it is a consistent, high volume of intense cardio training. I run on the treadmill everyday no matter what. I believe anyone could do this because I just started with whatever I could handle. If it was only 12-15 minutes that’s what I would do. Over time I gradually increased the time I would be on. My technique works like this, I always start with a 3 minute warmup. Walking at a fast steady pace. Every minute I increase the pace by a half a mile per hour. Then I start with a steady jog just fast enough so I’m running not fast walking. Then I go as long as I can based on how I feel and how much time I have that day. Once I’ve started running, I try not to take a break. I just run until I physically feel like I can’t run anymore then I do a 3 minute cool down. Slowly decreasing the pace until I’m finished. In the last 8 weeks I’ve only missed day and that was 7 weeks ago. I do it every day so that my body gets used to and it becomes very functional at it. I’m not running very fast right it’s between 4 and 5 mph. The first month I would try to do at least 30 minutes, and that’s usually if I had a hard day at work and I have to get up early the next day, and that’s always with a 3-minute warm-up and a 3-minute cool down, so I would actually on the treadmill for a total of 36 minutes. I always try to push myself a little bit further than previous days and a little out of my comfort zone. Towards the end of last month if I had the time I could easily do 45 minutes straight running or even an up to an hour if I was feeling good. Even if I go the gym that day and do resistance training for two hours, I still come home and run for up to an hour. The pace at which I can push myself is increasing steadily and I’m shredding body fat relatively quik, I’m getting good results and I like that. I feel great it’s like a cheat card for building positive energy. Everyday is a good day, Everyday something cool happens. My motto for life and business is if something is working keep doing it. For the industry I would like to break into, the creator, influencer game your image is important. Especially within the health and fitness realm looking the part is mandatory. In this sport your competition is yourself your are always pushing yourself to break own personal best. It gives you such an air of confidence when you are able. Yesterday I shattered my old record huge margin when I ran for 90 minutes straight through no breaks. After fighting your own thoughts to take a break and enduring all the way through a long run. You feel so psyched your like oh hell yeah I did it. Sometimes I’ll watch TV while running although I don’t really like to. I don’t listen music when I run. I don’t want rely on passion or adrenaline to make through the run. I just like to zone completely out and just run. When you get into flow and start feeling good it almost like you outside of your physical body accessing your Astro-body, it feels like you can run forever. Of course, water helps room temperature is better than ice cold because it absorbs into your system faster. The other thing that helps out is caffeine. To see physical changes, occur so rapidly is really motivating, it pushes you to do better and make changes in other aspects of your fitness life. You sleep better and even your food will digest better. Definitely a good way to blow off steam. When you start leveling up your health and fitness you even start feeling more alive and you’ll even notice your cosmic powers will increase. Don’t worry I’m not becoming obsessive with this. I do feel like an hour is to much time for cardio. Especially you do have many other things to do during the course of a day.  When you run for and hour and a half after you come down off that exercise high you tend to pass out for a while. Right now, I would consider myself to be in an experimental phase. I want to see how hard and how much I can push my body and more importantly what results they will yield. Before I getty up on out of here I wanted to mention that I saw the new Super Mario Bros movie trailer. I think it looked good. Now I’m more of Sega Genesis baby, on a side note I just wanted to say that (Nights into Dreams) was so far ahead of its time, so I’m on team Sonic, but I wish the Sonic movies were made more like how it looks like this Mario Bros movie was made. I like the Sonic movies overall but I really disliked them bringing Sonic into the so called real world. All the goofy, slapstick, bad sitcom live characters that weren’t in the game and really have nothing to do with Sonic the Hedgehog, they were all horrible, idiotic, and unnecessary. I don’t mean Jim Carrey he was great like he is in everything he does. So, it seems like once again team Nintendo will win another round. Hopefully they will reboot the Sonic movie franchise and just give us a CGI world minus convoluted goofy nonsense sitcom characters. Alright I’m going to wrap this one there’s some veggie burgers and kombucha downstairs calling my name. Next weekend I have to once again do my meal prep but you never know I might post something. As you know this past year has been really wild for but things are starting stabilize and I’m falling into a good routine. I feel really good and motivated and I hope you do as well. Within the beginning of the new year this will be a full fledge music blog I will be posting new music here weekly and then daily. Until then I hope you continue to look out for me, I appreciate you and I will continue to stay in touch. A special shot out to all the Silkys staaay Smooove!!! 

Come take a good look at my Journal, before I explode like a Kernel 

I couldn't keep it all internal,

My World is turning Purple, My Brain is turning circles 

I think I Lost my Meghan Merkle! 

I know this sounds astounding, but Pakistan is Drowning, 

As the glaciers melt right off their mountains, their resolve has to be resounding, 

more monsoon storms on the way in a day so the problems are compounding,

I just keep flowing like a fountain, like a thousand barz and counting, 

We’re never going to fix Migration, as long as these other nations stay on the verge of collapsion, 

Laden with disease starvation and dehydration, who are really affected by sanctions? 

So exactly what is inflation? Besides the latest news sensation, 

Go ahead ask someone to give you a clear concise explanation, 

Perhaps another situation, for corporations to engage in market manipulation, 

The Fed is trying induce a recession, Hold on I have a few questions, 

Are you sure this is the right direction, to affect a course correction? And under whose discretion? 

I guess we haven’t learned our lesson, 

They take from the masses, wearing rose colored glasses, the people give them passes, 

But I still have to pay my taxes, should I attend a university and get overcharged for classes? 

Should I pledge allegiance to the corporatocracy monopoly? 

Whose corporate policy runs contrary to my philosophy, it’s such an odd dichotomy, 

To have an economy that was built on top of me, but never thought of me, 

That’s why people like I are still in pursuit of that Life Quality, 

Due to the environmental factor, I really want to sue these bastards, Do I need a special master? 

We all going to need a pastor, if the world starts warming any faster, 

Hold up Let me grab my turkey blaster, and I’m going to need a tractor, 

To toil all this soil, my heart is like an electric coil, strong enough to make the ocean boil, 

What does it take to be a Royal? A heart of gold, a crown that’s cold, or just a whole lot of oil, 

I run for an hour, then jump in the shower, now I’m Fresh as a flower, Crazy is my Superpower, 

You wanna Laugh, my Brain works so fast their future is my past, 

Go ahead do the math, while I smash the graph, this is only a rough draft of my first paragraphs. 

When I was young I would gin, but I had get prepared to win, 

I got tripped up again and again, but I’m still here my friend, I picked up a pen, 

and I’m so ready for some action, these flowz is written in closed caption, 

despite all the distractions, trying provoke a reaction, 

I stayed focused on my passion and now I’m bac to building traction, 

2 make this magical music happen, my time and energy I have to ration 

Media invade my brainwavez, can I be saved from this heatwave? 

While the country is in the midst of a crimewave,

but  don't be afraid you got to be brave, 

I was in the fourth grade, when I witnessed my first drug raid, 

Swat batterram the door dropping dudez to the floor, 

I was stunned and amazed something I had never seen before, 

And everyone that they snatched we didn’t see them anymore, 

I think it’s worthwhile to note, that your future isn’t wrote, 

You can have anything that you hope, if you learn how to cope, analyze your scope,

don’t sell yourself short in court, and if your spirit isn’t broke, 

No I’m not preaching I’m no missionary on the weekend, 

But every now and then I have to make a little bit of sense, 

y’all know where I’m at I’m not sitting on the fence, 

I’m on the side of progression, So don’t get the wrong impression, 

These poems are my confessions, expressions and life lessons, 

To get things moving in the proper direction, to draw closer to my essence and showered with blessings, 

I’m chillin not stressing but I got to keep them guessing, 

Alright y’all that all I got for you this week, while we’re dealing with this extreme severe heat, 

Next week is supposed to be even worse, it’s almost like a curse,

from a bible verse, Is there anyway to set this trend into reverse? 

 it takes a toll on your energy, So I’m not going to over evert myself physically    

I just wanted to drop a few linez, everyone be safe under this overabundance of sunshine, 

I’m doing good and feeling good and I hope the same is for you, 

All your family and your crew, Keep doin what you do,

and I will return soon to stay in touch you know it’s true,

“Wzup? Greetings to everybody, No matter where you might be, Land, Space, or Sea, I hope all my Friendz are doing just as well as Me”. Today let’s jump right into the mix another installment of the A.W.Y.D series. Remember this is an exercise in philosophy, critical thinking and reasoning, not ideology.  I usually try to think of a compelling inspirational intro to these entries. I try to find the words that make you realize that the images that you visualize you have the ability to make them materialize. You can influence the molecules, atmosphere and energy around you and shape your reality into whatever you would like it to be. In a world that can bombard us with so much disturbing imagery. To help balance out your media intake I aspire to be an oasis of positive affirmation in a desert of doubt, a beacon of light in a sea of darkness.  It is my belief that the human mind is an extraordinary anomaly with a vast array of untapped potential, capable of miraculous activities. I believe that the more of us that this bright vision of the future for all the world, the more likely and the sooner that reality will come to pass. If I am to be truthful this is just as much a pep talk to myself as it is to anybody else. At times it can seem as if we exist in a system that instead nurturing our potential, they mostly seek to suppress it. What would be the motivations behind them doing something as sinister as that? For my estimation I will quote sister Janet and say it’s all about “Control”. Now this is not going to turn into some political critique. Due to my thoughts that it just seems to be a character flaw in about 90% of human beings. They just don’t seem to be able to handle huge amounts of authority well. More often than not they seem to abuse it. Identifying the problem is the first step towards correcting it. This is just another obstacle in the path that we will overcome through cooperation in our operations. Much like ants human communities were designed to work in unity. We can help each other remain positive, because confidence is key, insecurities are the enemy. An extraordinarily wise young man once said: “If you only have faith the size of a mustard seed you can move mountains. Nothing for you will be impossible”.     

I just went outside for a few minutes to take a break, It’s freaking sizzling hot out there. I adjust my daily routine based on the weather including extreme heat. In my quest to maximize my productive output I’ve recognized that a lot of good things don’t get accomplished when the temperatures go up past triple digits. It really seems to drain your energy faster too. That’s something I noticed from when I lived in Phoenix. So I never do things like video or photoshoots when its this hot, also I turn down the intensity of my workouts. You don’t want to put excessive stress on your system because stress is what ages your body not time. Some stress is unavoidable. When it comes to your body I believe the individual should have the choice to decide the amount of stress that they can leverage upon their own body at a given time. Keeping in mind that a lot of people living our system don’t have access to healthcare, resulting in various otherwise preventable health conditions being widespread and there is a growing large number of people who can’t even afford a place to live. If you actually want to cure the symptoms you have to first address the root causation. Point being if you really care about saving life your primary focus should be on shaping a better world. You have look at the big picture and consider all relevant circumstances involved. I digress and go back to my point about stress. Numerous things in our life can cause stress resulting in high levels of cortisol and free radicals which can be toxic and damage our internals leading to a variety of health complications. 

So I started wring this on Saturday when the temp got up to around 105. I’m finishing this up on Sunday it’s 15 degrees cooler. It makes such a huge difference in how you feel. I feel so much more energetic today. I’ve been trying to find ways to increase my written output. I started experimenting with wearing sunglasses while writing so I can look at a screen for longer periods of time without having to take a break because it makes your head hurt. Nothing will stop you from going into flow more than if you keep having to stop doing what you’re doing. Anyhow it seems that glasses with dark blue colored lens work well for this. One of reasons I know I will be more productive than I ever have been in the past is my current work schedule. He four day a week is great. I remember in the past everybody including me would be so excited about a three day weekend, now it’s a weekly thing. That extra day of rest is a game changer. It’s like when the week starts to seem bit unbearable you a get a day off to help you get through it. When the weekend does arrive I’m not completely drained. Then you have an extra day to get other stuff done like exercise, shopping, cooking, cleaning and all that necessary stuff. I know this will lead to me being able to get more projects accomplished and having a higher media output than I ever have had before.

So we are still discussing food and the business of it. And why not? It’s good business everybody has to eat. It’s a hard business the competition is steep.  I like watching some food shows from time to time. Chopped is good one Top Chef was one of my favorite shows for many years. Most recently I’ve really gotten into “the Food that Built America”. First off (the History Channel) is such an amazing resource in general, but this particular show stands out as fantastic. It’s fascinating learning about how these iconic brands got their start and the entrepreneurs that drove their success. I think everything produced under this series has been incredible. I’ll try to keep this discussion centered around season 3, the newest season. For now I think I just want to touch on season highlights and I’ll break down the episodes further on future blogs, after I watch them a few more times. I like every single episode I think they’re all really good. Even though there’s a strong educational component the shows are enjoyable and entertaining at the same time. If you want to watch something just to put you in a good mood, I recommend watching the donut or the soft serve episodes. The Donut one is about Krispy Crème and Dunkin Donuts. How is that not going to be fun to watch? The founders of both of these companies began with only one location they both had to be innovative. Donuts were not a common food at the turn of the 19th century. Krispy Kreme started out as a donut factory and distributor that only sold their donuts to local grocery stores in the Winston Salem area. They found their business model when people kept banging on their factory door because they could smell the fresh baked donuts and they wanted to buy some. They recognized an opportunity adjusted the business and they put in a service window. To standardize their product across all their locations to make sure they had uniform consistency. They actually had to invent their own automated donut making machine that would create precisely the perfect donut every time. Tom Carvel also had to create his own device to make his soft serve ice cream. A lot of these guys had to do something similar to that. Keep that thought in mind for future reference. Bill Rosenburg the founder of Dunkin had to be creative he invented 52 different kinds of donuts. The donut industry greatly profited from the workers movement of that age.  Before the movement people didn’t really get breaks at work. So these companies were able to benefit from the newly gained coffee break. I’m going to stop right there for today. I just wanted to take the time to drop some proper words on you this week. I’m going to kept going further in depth regarding this show because there’s a ton more to break down and learn from. Keep in mind everything I’m writing will have future context and will make more sense in time. I’ll be drawing comparisons to the modern world our lives and even my own current aspirations. I’ve mentioned before I’m developing a food product. It’s not a gimmick it has nothing to do with my music brand. Even though what I can do in the studio will always help me along my path. It’s my own recipe that I will patent and trademark. I feel it’s product that could help a lot of people and I have a good idea of how to market it. I never would have guessed this but the first book I author might be a cookbook. Where my product is the main component in a cooking system designed for people who want to eat healthily but have little time to cook. Will this be my contribution to society? I don’t know time will tell. It’s definitely in the realm of possibility but its not like this is the last good idea I’ll ever have in my life.  In the episode about Taco bell and Arby’s one of the hosts says to be successful he tells his students innovate something new that the public doesn’t know it needs yet. It won’t be easy but I believe it could be a player in the meal prep kit space. It’ll take some time and resources but the objective is to get the ball rolling and make at least a little progress each day.  I appreciate you joining me once again and I would be delighted if you choose to return and continue to join me along this our journey. I wish you a pleasant evening and peaceful night of rest where you dream about ice cream and donuts and wake up ready for an excellent week. Stay tuned I will return soon with part 3.   

I’m so delighted that you decided to join me once again so we can spend some quality time together as we continue on this journey of learning and discovery. “I hope you’ve been having a summer full of joy and wonder, I hope you have a freezer full of cool treats to help you beat the heat”. I particularly enjoy blueberries stuffed inside of raspberries a flavor combo that was meant to be. Being a driver in addition to being a writer works well together. With all the time I spend on the road I’m able to take the time to formulate my thoughts and plan how I want to put them in to words and present them to you. Which is the toughest part once you actually know what you want to say typing it out is not that difficult. I feel like I’m still catching with these blogs. I want to get where I feel like I’ve told my story up to a certain point and have said all the things I wanted to say. The goal is to get to where I’m writing these in real time as life happens to me. Sometimes you have to wait a little bit in order to be able to tell a complete story. One of the reasons I haven’t been popping these as fast as I would like to, is I’ve been trying to get caught on workouts. So the last few weeks I’ve devoting a little more of my time and energy on that. Now although I haven’t regained my peak condition yet, but I’ve gained some ground. So I wanted to take some time out to do some writing today so I’m working out at home today. When I last left off I spoke about finding my groove. What I meant by that is finding right balance in different aspects of your life. Building a good routine that’s works for you so you are able to follow it consistently and you feel productive. Which I feel is really important because it has to be one of the worst feelings in life to just feel like you’re stagnant or losing progress. I would say that also includes doing the same thing over and over only to not achieve the intended results so, of course we will always continue to adjust and improve upon that routine as we learn and grow. With the goal of becoming the best version of ourselves that we can possibly become. Keep in mind even thou I don’t always address it I realize that there are countless numbers of people worldwide enduring critical times, suffering and being persecuted. My thought process is this that us being the blessed ones how can we help others who suffer if were not at the top of our game? I realize what we’re up against and it will be a difficult crusade. A wise young man once said “My momma made me rugged baptized the public” Remember that it’s not necessary to compare yourself to other people. Concern yourself with maximizing your own potential. Everybody’s individual experience will differ. The last few years I’ve learned a lot about personality types in particular my own. The information I received was very beneficial in me understanding myself as well as the world around me.  Although I am not an expert on the subject, I will continue to refer to it throughout these blogs. When it comes to my own personality type the feeling of being productive is very important to our wellbeing.  While a good routine consists several different components differing depending on who you are and your schedule. No matter who you may be one of the integral pieces of the puzzle is nutrition. This week’s blog will have a lot to do with food and the business of food. 

                                                                   Shark Tank 

Throughout the last few years one of the biggest influences on realigning my outlook on life has been “ABC’s Shark Tank”. For this analogy keeping with this week’s theme, I’m going to compare media to food. Now there’s a lot of food out there that are quite simply poison. They contain or are treated with ingredients that don’t occur in nature; I call them micro-poisons. They don’t kill right away but they do become very toxic over periods of time. There also is a lot junk food out their food that might taste good but doesn’t contain any real nutritional value to fuel or heal the body. Today’s media landscape can be looked at in the same way. A lot of media content is mental poison created to manipulate and or misinform. Then a lot of it can be considered junk content. Maybe it’s entertaining but you don’t really learn anything or take anything away from it, no real substance.  Shark Tank is the antidote. First off it has an interesting cast of self-made moguls. The show itself is interesting and has real world stakes and consequences in addition to that its educational it’s an introductory lesson in business. It showcases real people similar to you, who’ve been able to drastically change their life for the better. One of the most important elements to the program is the role model aspect. Earlier in life my role models were very different kinds of people. Shark Tank opens your eyes to an actual path forward to a better way of life. It’s a very inspirational program. Its beneficial to see those with admirable qualities and traits that you can aspire to emulate. So, this actually happened to me a few months before I moved. I’m home chillin in my room watching shark tank. I’m not looking at the TV I’m doing something else looking down but listening. Then I hear the epic voice guy say “next in the tank Jonathan Justice”. I look up in a state of shock to see this guy I used to work with strolling into the shark tank with his very attractive female counterpart. So, do you remember the electronics company that dumped me a few years ago? The one where the man who hired me was the ex-pro wrestler. Well, Jon Justice worked with me there except he had been let go about a year prior to the company dissolving. By the way that’s not his real name it’s just what I’m calling him for the sake of the story. The funny part of story is that the first time we worked together me and that guy got into it a little bit on the jobsite. Now let me say that these things happen. People get all up inside their emotions and lose their cool sometimes. At the time we were both pretty new he started like three months before. Without getting too deep into the weeds because the details aren’t important. The company put us in bad predicament. The put us on a site that we couldn’t possibly finish. We were supposed to have four labor ready helpers none of them showed up mostly because for whatever reason the dispatcher didn’t put in the order. So yeah, it was one of those days.  Different people handle stressful situation in different ways. I believe his way of getting out of this job was creating a disagreement with me. I fell for it and somethings got said and yeah long story short it turned out to be an all around bad day. We both almost got terminated. Fortunately, our immediate supervisor at the time turned out to be pretty cool. So, we survived with just getting wrote up. We made amends that same day and worked on several jobs together after that up. After that we were never close but we were cool. Let me also say some jobs are not for everybody. I don’t think the whole physical labor style work was his thing. Didn’t seem like he really wanted to be there, it was just something he had to do at the time. There’s nothing wrong with that its life We’re all trying to find our lane.  I learned from the experience it taught me to never allow anyone to push my buttons and make me lose my cool. Because he told me I knew that outside of work him along with his lady they ran a vegan food truck catering service. Before I had ever had any thoughts about becoming a vegetarian, they had started a business specializing in this niche market. Out of Sunnyvale and the bay area is the perfect place to start a business like that. He worked to support them while she ran the business and he also helped her out during weekends and his time off. You could say they had a healthily mutually beneficial partnership. I have never met her but through our other coworker I heard nothing but good things like she was attractive, smart and capable, and he was correct about that. Evidently, she also has a pretty good recipe for vegan fried chicken because Mark Cuban offered her a million dollars for it. Anyways getting back to the show I’m screaming and marking out because it’s just so funny to see someone you know firsthand on national tv on a show you love to watch. Another funny thing is it wasn’t even a new episode I had just missed it. Their product on the show was their award-winning secret recipe plant based vegan fried chicken. They had a pretty good showing except for they made the cardinal sin they went on shark tank and didn’t know their numbers. They presented the sharks with some improbable figures and projections. In spite of that they still got offers. Even thou they decline both the offers received due to the fact they didn’t want to give up ownership of their company, it’s still a tremendous accomplishment to make it as far as they have. A shark tank is not always the best option for every business. Their food products are available in hundreds of restaurants nationwide In addition to all he accolades and success they’ve already achieved you can bet that there’s a lot more coming their way. So congratulations to them. This goes to show that one day you can be on a random jobsite having an asinine argument with me and then just short time later you’re on ABC getting million dollar offers from billionaires. Also I look at this as a good case study and testament to the significance of having the right partner that’s supportive of you and vice versa. You can become a power couple with unlimited potential. You can find them online at (atlasmonroe.com). The food looks amazing I plan on dropping in and trying their cuisine very soon. I have recently developed a product related to this space. It was unintentional I never wanted to go into the food industry because of the high level of difficulty. Nonetheless it came about for me while developing my own program for meal prep. Being a person who wants to eat healthily and vegetarian but has very little time to cook. I have no culinary training but I am creative in the kitchen like I am in every aspect of my life. Over the last several months its lead me create something that has helped me out tremendously. It checks a lot of the right boxes it saves time, adds convenience is very nutritionally dense and literally has hundreds of different applications in the kitchen. Food is difficult and competitive space but the potential is beyond huge everyone has to eat. Take Kraft for example they sell a million boxes of mac and cheese every day.  I think I have something I can distribute to restaurants as well as market and sell directly to the public online. I’m still in the very early stages of development so I don’t want to give too much away until patents and trademarks are in place. As time goes on I will continue to talk more about it. We’ll have to see where it goes. At least I know I have some people I can refer to for advice along the way. 

                                                    Paper Girls and Nightsky 

The blog I wrote last week I really wanted to write two weeks ago but I had to do my meal prep I was out of product. For me to make my product it takes about 4-5 hours I usually spread that out over the weekend. I try to make a month’s worth that way I don’t have to do it every week. While I was doing that two weeks ago, I watched this series I thought was pretty incredible and I wanted to talk about it. Paper Girls is action drama sci-fi thriller 8 episode series on prime video. Usually reading a comic book makes you want to see movies about it. In this case watching this series made me want to go back and read the graphic novel which I still plan on doing. This was a comic adaption done right very good writing. It follows the four main characters Erin, Tiffany, KJ and Mac they are 12-year-old girls working on their paper routes on hell day November 1st 1988.  This first episode starts out at 100 miles per hour and doesn’t let up if you look away for a minute you’ll miss an important part of the story. Lots of action but the writers do a good job of keeping you engaged in the storyline. The plot is in the chaos of the night these four young girls unknowingly get rushed into a time machine and travel from 1988 to 2019, to find that they are in the middle of a war between two factions from different times. The STF (standard time fighters) are from way in the future where things are so bad their goal is to travel back and change moments in time to better the world. The Old Watch is from not as far in the future their mission is to preserve the original timeline. They enforce a time travel ban by killing anyone travels outside of their original timeline. The second episode slow down to 80 mph and lets you get invested in the characters a little bit more. The whole series is really good I recommend it. As we follow them jumping through time the editors pick music relevant to the different time periods. There are real human moments in the script. What I mean is in action movies it sometimes bothers me when the people never stop to eat, rest, shower or use the bathroom. There are no time travel movie rules about not interacting with yourself at a different age, matter of fact that’s some of the main drama and conflict involved.  If you have children in your household the language is harsh but makes sense in context with what the characters are going through.  I noticed Brad Pitt was one of the executive producers. The characters are good the writing was strong. There’s a lot of epic WTF moments. There is a few plot hole and things that don't make sense but overall I would say season one this is worth watch at least a couple of times. 

Nightsky is another good first season sci-fi series from prime video. This about a mature couple who happen to have a teleportation device hidden in there shed in the back yard. It stars landmark actors Sissy Spacek and JK Simmons. The device takes them to a room on a strange planet across the galaxy. The pacing is more gradual in this series definitely more of a drama less of a thriller. Still it was very interesting. They did a good job of building the story. It leaves you in anticipation of a second season. Definitely worth a watch. 

Alright y’all have a pleasant night and a wonderful week. I’m not even finish talking about food yet so I will return soon with part 2 of this. So stay in touch and know that all the things that you truly desire you have the power to make them transpire.  

I hope all my friends out there are doing well and greetings to all. Well here I go again with another entry into my journal a written transmission a philosophical conversation beamed directly from my brain, and the through cyberspace digested by your eyes absorbed by your mind and uploaded to the newsfeed timeline of your thoughts. This is my way of steering the world in the direction of what should be all or our goal of harmony and balance. Using a keyboard as one of the weapons in my arsenal to fight for a better future a better world and a better life. As you take my words in to consideration I hope you look towards your own future with a sense of optimism. As I share with you my experiences. I hope that you maintain an open mind and try to empathize with other people points of view. Because it will take cooperation from the entire community of humanity as a whole to survive, advert catastrophe, improve our systems and resolve our issues. 

I like to start these off by giving you a small portrait of my life at the moment. I believe this helps others understand my thought process at this point in time a little bit better and thus be able to comprehend my art and expressions more. Because it may hard to tell sometimes but ultimately this is a music blog and I am actively working towards when I will be posting new music here every day. I believe music like every art form is more relatable when there is context.  Things are good at work and life I’m finding my groove. Y’all now that I believe that everybody has a purpose. By that I do not mean that everyone was meant to do only one specific thing but rather that when you’re on the right path things seem to go right, but when you stray too far from the path nothing seems to go your way. Me I am a big believer in the metaphysical forces that we may not be able to see or physically touch. but are still very real nonetheless. For an example I believe karma is a force nature just as real as gravity or the air we breathe. With me being that type of person, I’m always looking for the signs. I think some people don’t realize that universe will talk to you. The cosmic entities are trying to tell them something but they’re not paying attention. Me I’m always on the lookout. Which brings us to my first story. 

So I work all over the region I’m literally in a different city every day. I work in wide range of terrain from very affluent communities to down to the not so nice neighborhoods and everything in between. Which is cool things stay interesting makes for a lot of good material that’s a good thing for a writer it gives me a more nuanced view of the world. This was two Tuesdays ago I was working in Oakland in an densely populated urban inner city neighborhood. I was somewhere in the avenues. My delivery address is a San Francisco style duplex with early 19th century architecture. But this wasn’t one of those restored neighborhoods I was in the hood. That phrase is not meant to demean anybody there’s nothing wrong with living in the hood. There was nowhere to park the truck so I double park in the middle of the street.  I walk up to this apartment I open the gate to go in the yard to make my delivery. What is I see staring at me? It’s none but a fluffy white rabbit chilling in the front yard of this apartment building. He looked like he didn’t have a care in the world. This was no wild jack rabbit this was definitely what you would consider a house bunny. He was sugar white except he had this streak of all different sizes and shades brown specks running down his back in one uniform single stripe. He wasn’t worried about nothing not a dog, a cat, a snake, a hawk. He wasn’t even worried about me for that matter. He was just posted chilling. He just looked at me as if to say “who is you dude?”. You might be thinking “you saw a rabbit so what?”. Now Oakland has its upscale parts of town too, but that’s not where I was at. When I think about Oakland the first things I think about is not fluffy white rabbits frolicking around in the front yard of an apartment building. So when I talk to lady who received the delivery I asked her “Is that rabbit out there in the yard? I don’t want him to runaway” the she responds no that’s neighborhood pet bunny everybody takes cares of him. I asked her if the cats bother him? She said “no they’re all friends they play together”. She also said "it was strange that he was in the front because he usually always stays in the back. First off I consider rabbits to be my power animal. They are super clean, fast, lean very loyal little Loving machines. They’re funny you can’t look at them and not smile or laugh. They’re intelligent creatures and very animated almost 100% of there communication is through body language. Just being that they are so vulnerable there’s something inspirational about one thriving in what could be consider a harsh environment. It also gives you hope in the people in the world that they still want to preserve the beauty of nature. So while some may say big deal, me noticing something so completely out of place like this. I knew it was a sign from the universe, telling me this is going to be a good day something cool is going to happen. This was a Tuesday and that Monday was pretty good too. Just like I thought it turned out to be a great day good things occurred in my world. What happened? Well sometimes its all the small things that help make life more bearable. You have to appreciate those special moments that’s something that can’t be taken away from you. 

Not to long ago when I was filming a lot anytime I was traveling I would always be looking for interesting places to shoot video footage. There is actually is a lot of hidden spots in California that would make for a good music video. My favorite city I’ve been through recently I think is Seaside Ca. It’s a coastal city not to far from Monterrey, with a lot of interesting scenery. A cool city temperature wise as well very reminiscent of Hawaii. I remember seeing all these abandoned buildings with all this tight artistic graffiti tagged on the walls but the town didn’t seem run down at all it was very clean. If you’re ever looking for a break from the heat its definitely a place I’d like to return to and spend a few days there.  Seaside baby 

“Acquire what you Desire” is a concept I would like explore as a writer as well as an exercise in critical thinking. I want to look at this from different angles and break down the different layers. You shouldn’t assume we’re only discussing things of a material or physical nature. Those things on there own can feel very superficial. In the future I wouldn’t mind being a person who writes books. This doesn’t seem like a bad way to make a living to me. I guess you can say that is one of my desires. How do we get good at something? repetition repetition repetittion. Perhaps this exercise will help me find my genre. I hope that you continue to join me on this journey of learning and growth. 

                                                   The Fifty Dollar Treadmill 

Before my most recent move one of the reasons I stayed in the place that I did for so long is the complex has this really amazing gym. Usually there’s nobody in there never more than like one or two people. That was a really valuable resource to have. Coincidently they closed it down during pandemic which was extremely frustrating and nonsensical. That’s when I started running outside. In the summer time I would run at night because of the heat. That’s what actually lead to me bearing witness to something completely out of this world. I wouldn’t say it change my perspective it just confirmed what I already knew and felt. Anyhow I digress when they finally opened the gym back up. Me like a lot of people wanted to focus getting leaner. I was running on the treadmill a lot. As a lot of people already know running makes you feel really good. When I was unexpectedly was put in the position to have to move, I didn’t want to lose the momentum I built up. So I’m like I got to get a treadmill. I’m checking craigslist list every day and I find one they only want fifty dollars for it and its only a ten-minute drive from where I lived at the time. The day before the move as soon as I pick up the U-Haul I go to buy it. The people selling it were very friendly. What do I know about treadmills? It powered on so I figure it works. They didn’t lie to me they told me that they were selling it to make room for the husbands new motorcycle. They told it didn’t run like it was new. The wife told me walks on it but her son runs on it. They gave me a wrench to loosen and tighten the belt and the original user manual. All in all I’m happy with purchase fifty dollars treadmills can cost over a thousand. I’ll talk more about the move later but by far the hardest part of the day was getting that thing up a flight of stairs with turn in them. The homie was lifesaver for helping with that. I paid him but I still owe him for helping with that. I had to use some tools to take off the handle bars to navigate that turn in the stairs. After I’m all move in it’s a few weeks before I get to try it out. Can you guess what happens when I do get on it. If you said I look like one of those gifs on the internet where the person gets thrown off the treadmill into a wall you’d be almost right. I didn’t fall but I almost did fall and break my neck. Every time I would get this thing up to a descent enough speed the belt would stick and I would almost fall. So the wrench they gave was the wrong size that’s alright at least they pointed me in the right direction. I spent the next few days reading the manual searching the internet tinkering, loosening and tightening this machine. Hiring a tech to fix it wasn’t and option I could buy a new one for what they would’ve charge me. There was a point where I had this treadmill completely disassembled. All the pieces were spread out all over the floor. The though crossed my brain to while its easy to do I should take all this mess and throw it in the trash. Chalk up those fifty dollars as a loss and buy a new one. But I didn’t do that I put it back together and I made several more adjustments until I had a machine that I could walk really fast and the incline function works well. So you know those trails Sacramento has so many of? I just so happens to live less than a block away from one that’s actually pretty amazing if I want to run. I’m fifty dollars in the hole but I’m not in such a bad position. But there was one thing I didn’t try because the manual said to never to wax the deck because it was already pre lubricated. If I was to do that it would ruin the machine and void my warranty. Now this treadmill is no where in the range of being new a pacemaster pro elite. The company has been out business for over a decade. There’s no warranty but I don’t want to ruin it completely. I had already ordered the paraffin wax ordered so I had it on hand. In the meantime, I’m not tripping I’m doing my thing running outside. One day I had some extra time on my hands. I loosen up the belt and spread the wax all over the deck I tighten the belt back up. And can you believe it, ever since then this machine has run like a dream. It works like a brand new treadmill. What can we take away from this experience?  Well paraffin wax will cure your old treadmill. More than that whatever project you’re working on or whatever your aspirations are. If you don’t see your projects all through to the finish, you’ll never see any yield from your investments. Don’t quit in the middle of the pursuance of your desires and still persevere even when the situation seems dire, and to all the silkys staaay smoooove. I’ll return soon I have a lot more to say.
