Hey, wsup my weoples as always, I sincerely hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to take some time out, drop some good words, and say hello. There is so much to write about, but I'm going to keep this brief. First off, my heart goes out to my brothers and sisters in Jamaica and all the Caribbean islands affected by Hurricane Melissa. The devastation is beyond words. We are now in the day and age where these once in a hundred year storms happen every year and multiple times a year. Island and coastal communities are the most affected by these more intense storms driven by rapidly warming ocean waters. Melissa was the strongest storm of the year so far. One of the strongest storms ever on record. It hit Jamaica with a force so much stronger than the requirements for the most severe classification, category 5, that some hurricane scientists suggest adding a higher category 6, for these more frequently occurring monster storms. Adding to the danger, the storm moved so slowly that it pounded the islands with repeated rounds of wind, rain, and waves, causing severe damage from flooding and mudslides. At least 25 people in Haiti died after the La Digue river overflowed and flooded homes following days of torrential rains. We don't know the death toll in Jamaica yet, but evacuation and preparation may have mitigated the casualties. God Bless Jamroc, my thoughts are with my brothers and sisters there. On a similar note, it's time to lift the embargo on Cuba. They've suffered enough and they have enough to deal with as is. Every country in the world, including every African and Latin nation, has voted to end the embargo. The only countries that voted to keep it were the US and its puppets Israel, Ukraine, and Argentina. It's time to end the persecution of those who refuse to bend the knee and kiss the feet of Imperialism.

Let's talk about SNAP, EBT, and food stamps. This is an example of a government program that actually works. I was raised on food stamps and WIC. It was a happy day on the 6th of the month when my mom got her stamps. All of us kids got to choose a treat from the bulk bins at Pak & Save. Is the system perfect? No, but it does a whole lot of good for a whole lot of people. No one should go hungry. There have been times in my life when I had to survive on only oatmeal and rice every day. I added a little salt or sugar, and butter to make them palatable. There was a time when I didn't even have a place to cook. All I would eat was just one 59 cent Taco Bell taco every day. That may be why, to this day, Taco Bell holds such a special place in my heart. You can always get decent food there that anyone can afford, but I digress, that was a very long time ago, and this is not about me. From the blessing of God, I live and eat well. I just wanted to relate to those who are currently dealing with food insecurity issues, particularly those with little ones to feed. I don't like to see anyone suffer, especially children. The bottom line is this: stop playing games and fund SNAP, WIC, Meals on Wheels and every program designed to feed the hungry people in America and around the world. This is a no-brainer, everybody wins when there are no hungry, desperate, and mentally stressed people roaming the streets. From the fiscally conservative perspective on the issue. For every dollar of food stamps spent it generates two dollars into the economy.

So here we go, I wanted to continue our conversation from a couple of weeks ago. There's so much to talk about that I won't be able to finish this blog today. This is going to be another short entry. There is a specific reason for that, and we will get into that a little bit later. I wanted to briefly touch on a few topics while they are still relevant to the current news cycle, and share my perspective and thoughts.
I think that fall is starting to become my favorite season. When you are a kid, you mostly favor the summer mainly because you don't have to get up and go to school. Fall has been such a relief. I feel like a different person, a new man. Not only does fall provide a break from the heat, but when that first rain hits, it's such a sweet relief from allergies. Sacramento is the allergy capital of the world. Everybody here has allergies, even people's pets have allergies. I've known several who were forced to move for that specific reason, it's severe, that's my point. When the rain comes, it's sweet relief from all the itching and agitation. Stress levels start to subside. I'm feeling much better now, so my writing should be more concise.
First on the list, before I forget, Sandwich guy was found not guilty of assault after throwing a submarine sandwich at an ICE officer. Big ups to Sandwich guy. In my opinion, it should be perfectly legal to throw sandwiches, tomatoes, potato salad, liverwurst, bagels, cream cheese, or jelly filled donuts and generally any trash lying around that's not going to hurt anyone physically. I'm not saying you should go do that, I'm just saying it should be legal because ICE agents have it coming, as does every racist organization that exists in the world. Sandwich guy S.T.P salutes you, you are a true American Hero (no pun intended) and a patriot. I'd ride with you any day of the week. Switching gears....

Let's talk about the world's most corrupt sitcom: Washington, DC. The M.T.G storyline seems to be turning a corner today. In the business they would call this a slow burn face turn, and masterfully done, might I add. I compare it to when the Undertaker stopped Jake the Snake from Bashing Miss Elizabeth over the head with a chair at her and Macho Man's wedding reception. It's kind of like that you didn't see that one coming. If this is real, and I will give her the benefit of the doubt. I can understand how some significant, tragic events that have occurred in recent weeks would realign those close to the situation perspective. While some will not learn the proper lesson others will. This goes to show that there is a difference between those who are genuinely being misled and those who truly have no goodness in their hearts. Despite that, we definitely have differing points of view on lots of issues, as well as on what she has said or done in the past. My Jedi religion teaches me to forgive those who are truly repentant. On this day, not only did she have the integrity to stand up to the bully, but she also extended an olive branch across the aisle to start building a bridge for communication and unity in what is now the divided states of America. I'm over here like when did this show get interesting? They must have hired some more talented writers. I wanted to bring this up because I wrote about this two years ago speaking about personality types. Human beings never act outside of their PT they're incapable of doing so. So, like I said then if you choose to follow what you perceive to be strength in a bad alpha, and follow them down the path to what is inevitable the abyss. Just know that when that bad alpha has no more use for you, they will without a doubt push you in front of a train or throw you under the bus in a heartbeat because they don't care about you or value your thoughts and ideas. You are nothing but a tool or a puppet to them. That's why they only hire those into their administration who are (I'm going to be nice here) shameless bootlickers with no self-respect. I'm going to wrap this up, but I want people to understand this. A bully is mean and aggressive, but they are not strong. A person who is actually mentally strong doesn't need to be a bully to control people around them. People will follow them voluntarily, which brings me to my next topic.

New York City Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani and his army of 104,000 volunteers. "Let's hear for New York, these streets will define you they'll make you feel brand new, Let's hear it for New York". Congratulations, Mr. Mamdani, and congratulations, New York City. You are a beacon of light and a source of hope for many others in these dark times. You were outspent a million to one, lied about and smeared by the media every day. You started with zero name recognition. Still, you were able to defeat the billionaires and their swamp monsters. Mamdani, your victory speech got me so hype that I was running around the house, and up and down the stairs, screaming and yelling. I was just waiting for you to say: "CAAAAAN YOOOOOU DIIIIG IT?" It is just such a bright spot in what are predominantly dark, dismal times for many, very inspirational indeed. Andrew Cuomo, this idiot, is claiming a moral victory because he got more than 0% of the vote. You completely ruined your family's legacy and dragged your brother down into the sewer with you, Way to go! Dude. The only other person in that contest that I have respect for is Curtis Sliwa. He started his own gang, then organized it not to commit crime but to fight it. But I digress I want to talk about the scary Democratic Socialist. Because the talking heads, these are people who are paid to hold a particular opinion. Have really been working my nerves, Listen, I ain't mad y'all get your money. I would do that job get paid to go on TV and say a bunch of crazy s***, but when you lie, I just might have to call you out. Specifically, what I'm talking about is the media trying to portray Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and the Democratic Socialist movement in general as some crazy fringe far left movement, which is the political affiliation of Bernie Sanders, the most popular senator in the country, AOC and a few others. Personally, even if they were far left, I wouldn't care. The further left the better in my view. Here is why you shouldn't fear the word socialism, because America is already a socialist country. The police, the fire dept, the post office, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Medi-Cal, SNAP, SSI, and Unemployment benefits are all examples of very popular socialist programs that work. Our closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico, along with every modern country in the world, have socialized healthcare systems and provide universal healthcare to all their citizens. Are their healthcare systems perfect? No, but are they 100 times better than what we have? Yes. The UK provides its citizens with a robust social safety net. The Scandinavian and Nordic countries are examples of successful Democratic Socialist societies. Venezuela is always used as an example of a failed socialist state. As flawed of a country as Venezuela is, its economy along with those of many other Latin American nations, has been completely decimated by repeated US interventions and crippling sanctions. The current intervention has nothing to do with drug trafficking or anything ridiculous like that, everybody knows it's about oil. That's why I could never join the army. How could I ever explain to Jesus on judgment day that I had blown up a bunch of innocent fishermen because I had to follow orders? Even if they are low-level drug traffickers, which they are not, because that's not the route they would take. shouldn't they be arrested? Last time I checked drug smuggling doesn't carry the death penalty with no due process. I digress back to my point, most countries that are not governed by a broken two party system, but instead have a spectrum of political ideologies represented. The Socialists do not fall on the far left of the spectrum. They are a lot closer to a little left of center. Out of all of Mamdani's policy proposals I didn't hear anything extreme. Although his ideas are not unheard of, we should always be trying new ideas and finding more efficient ways to run our society. I don't have a problem with city run grocery stores. One in every borough, what's that like, five? I would suggest that those city run stores don't carry any alcohol or tobacco products. I have no issue with free wifi and public transportation. You know who rides the bus: blind people, disabled, senior citizens and people trying to make it across town to get to those job interviews to get out of the situation that they are in. If we actually want to shrink and get rid of these tent cities and lift people out of destitution. They may need a little help. I didn't even get into the subject of corporate welfare. The wealthiest people who have ever lived in the history of the world. The federal government subsidizes their businesses. That's socialism for the rich and powerful and individualism for everyone else. I am not anti-capitalism, I am not here to bash the rich. I have friends and family who are very wealthy, and I myself am set for life. So I feel comfortable saying that the relationship between the working class and the affluent is reciprocal. Any extra that you may have to contribute is going to come right back around to you probably double and triple. Because when you give working class and poor people money, it goes straight into the economy because they spend it. They have bills to pay they have kids to feed. Before I stop writing tonight, I'm going to tell all the Mamdani supporters that, while I am definitely pulling for him to succeed, because it would offer hope to people across the country and show them that hey, we can have nice stuff, too. It may take more than one election cycle to enact real lasting change, and to all the haters and naysayers. The people are going to support this guy regardless of whether or not he accomplishes all of what he sets out to do, because if it doesn't work out. Sometimes things just don't go as planned, or if there's interference from the federal government. They will continue to support him because he genuinely wants what's best for people and cares about their well being. That's all the people want: someone who will fight for them and is not beholden to the donor class and the corporate overlords. It really helps too that he is not some sic, sadistic, genocidal monster. That's how a good Alpha controls people with Love. Just as was taught to us by the original Alpha and Socialist Jesus Christ. Free fish and loaves of bread for all. I'm going to leave off right there. I have much more to say. I will continue this blog as soon as I can.

Well, my weoplizations, thank you for your time and consideration, but I'm going to have to delay the conclusion of this conversation. There is a lot more I want to discuss, but it's getting late and I have to get up super early. Election day is tomorrow, and I want to talk about things in relation to that. Also: healthcare, Gaza, the Freedom Flotilla Armada, a general update on my creative process and my creative progress, my rapidly evolving life and business situation, and much more. Stay tuned, much Love, have a pleasant night, lovely dreams, invigorating deep sleep, wake up refreshed ready for a productive week. Talk to you soon. I'll finish this up within the next few weeks, so stay in touch. To be continued.............

Early Summer Sunday Update Blog Rant ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐ŸŠ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽง๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ๐ŸŽž๏ธ๐ŸŽป๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒŒ๐ŸŒช๏ธโŒ›๐Ÿ›ธโณ๐Ÿ๐Ÿฆ•๐Ÿฆง๐ŸŽจ๐ŸŽญ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿงฌ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ๐Ÿฆ›๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŽฐ๐Ÿ”ฎ๐ŸŽผ๐ŸŽต 

Whatโ€™s going on everybody out there in cyberspace? I hope all is well with you of course. I will just jump into it because thereโ€™s a lot that I would like to touch on. I began writing these blogs as a convenient way to communicate, express myself, and stay in touch. I knew I would be in a transitional period in my life. I had to fade away so that I could reevaluate how I was doing things, so that I could reinvent myself and find a way to turn my creativity into a career. I didnโ€™t know exactly how I was going to do that.ย  But I knew I would figure it out along the way, and the process is ongoing. I say all that just to let you know that this will be one of my last written blogs before I debut my music vlog.ย  Maybe not the very last one, but I am getting closer to my main goal of being able to put out music on a regular basis.ย  While making it a worthwhile, profitable endeavor for myself.ย  Even when I get to that point, I will still write blogs.ย  But Iโ€™m going to lead with the music because I feel like thatโ€™s how I express myself best. I know that the only way to get people to care about your music is to have an appealing visual aspect to draw listeners in.ย  I had to think about what I can realistically do consistently and have a trajectory of profitability in the near term. I had an idea of what I wanted to do, also I would draw inspiration from some of the short-form video clips that I find pleasing to look at, but are also getting a decent amount of traffic online. That helped me to come up with my formula. Itโ€™s not just one thing, itโ€™s several different elements that I want to bring together to tell a story. One of the main aspects that I wanted to incorporate, which I didnโ€™t have much experience with, is 3D and 4D motion graphics. When you are first learning a new application, itโ€™s similar to learning a different language. Youโ€™re a bit lost until you at least have a loose grasp of the basic fundamentals and terminology. Also, what I had to figure out is, out of all the different software applications out there, which do what it is that I want them to do. How much money do I need to spend, right now? There are a numerous amount of creator tools and resources, but most of them come with their own subscription cost. There are only so many subscriptions you can carry until at least the business itself starts generating revenue. These are industry level professional tools, so they can get pricey. For the motion graphics I own a basic version of the software already because it comes free with my adobe subscription. I had to figure out is if thatโ€™s going to be enough or if I need to ante up for the full version. Even if I have to buy it, which I am the only question is when, itโ€™s a tax deduction. When I bring everything together, then add the music, I think itโ€™ll make for some cool media that people will get into. They are instrumentals the goal is to get them licensed for TV, movies and video games. In the meantime, if I can monetize that content on social media, it will create an additional revenue stream that could generate faster than waiting for TV royalties to start coming in. From what I understand it can take a while possibly years for a sync license producer to build up to a full-time income. Now you probably noticed that I myself am not on any social media platforms. Donโ€™t worry about that because I will be, and there are people who specialize in building and managing social media platforms for you. They know all the latest trends and algorithms because thatโ€™s all they do. So, it is not as important for someone like myself to learn that part of the business as it is for me to come up with the money to pay an expert to do it for me. I love to outsource things that I hate to do. You can pay with time or with money. For me, it is more advantageous to pay with cash and spend my time doing what I should be doing. Being that weird guy who stays in the studio for 10 and 12 hour sessions at a time doing that super tedious work that nobody else wants to do, but I enjoy it. For now that is the plan but you never know plans do change you have to be flexible, innovative and creative. The main point to take from this is that new music will be coming your way soon. Itโ€™s going to be a slow burn. I will start with some simple projects, then keep building to more complex work.

So Iโ€™m watching this super interesting program right now called Animal Pharm. Itโ€™s a play on words after that Russian animated film, Animal Farm, that they had us watch in the 9th grade. Where the animals who lived on this farm were abused by their human owners. Eventually, the animals rose up and overthrew humans. What happened eventually is that the pigs who were like the politicians of the farm became corrupt and started acting just like the humans before them, abusing their power and the other animals. Itโ€™s political satire, I believe itโ€™s a parody of the Russian revolution. Whatโ€™s funny is that this show, Animal Pharm, is actually about harvesting organs from animals, specifically pigs. So, in the film the pigs become like the people, but on this show people are becoming part pigโ€”either way, a super interesting topic. It's great to see this industry advancing. This is some uplifting, positive, hopeful news to report on. Lord knows we need that in current times.ย  It would actually put me out of a job. You know Iโ€™m a truck driver but what I do specifically is deliver dialysis fluid. Itโ€™s so amazing to see what it takes to replace one small organ in our body. Itโ€™s a whole entire multi billion dollar industry. People can wait on those kidney transplant list for years, unless they have a relative who is willing to donate in a trade or exchange. Even sometimes, when they get a transplant, their body might reject it. Even if the surgery is a complete success it only lasts 10 years. Itโ€™s great to see modern medicine advancing to the point where it ends this type of suffering. I believe thatโ€™s one of many reasons weโ€™re not supposed to eat pork. Thatโ€™s just my own personal belief, not telling you what to do, you can eat what you want, besides the fact that pigs are surprisingly intelligent. Iโ€™ve always heard that their physiology is remarkably similar to our own. This is my own personal philosophy that leads me to reason that whenever there's something that millions of people do out of tradition or religion. Thereโ€™s probably an actual scientific reason, but that information was lost to us. So I often try to research potential reasons why. If a farmworker falls into a pig trough, they can be eaten alive when we do keep pigs as livestock in large quantities. They are often intelligent enough to escape captivity, where even a domesticated pig will revert to being a wild boar they breed and multiply like crazy. They usually will wreak complete havoc on their surrounding environment. Thereโ€™s an entire industry behind hunting down and killing these rogue hogs. Thatโ€™s what the show American Hoggers was about. Thatโ€™s what leads me to believe that pigs were meant to be kept in small quantities so that we could pharm their organs not eat their flesh. Thereโ€™s some evidence that the Ancient Egyptians did this.

On a different topic, Friday was Endangered Species Day. We shouldnโ€™t have just one Endangered Species Day; we should highlight a different endangered species every day.

Alrighty then people, letโ€™s get right into this discussion. When we last left off, we talked a little about the bioengineering of human organs to address the critical shortage. The advances in this field show a lot of promise inspiring hope for all those affected by some degree of organ failure. Since this blog is about critical thinking and to take it a bit further, just as much about fourth dimensional thinking outside of the box.ย  With that being said letโ€™s get into the philosophical portion of the thesis.ย  Philosophy continues to be one of my most significant interests as I view it as the bridge between spiritual and logical science.ย With myself attempting to serve as a voice of reason between these different planes of thought. People often think of science and faith as being vastly different and contrary to each other.ย  Which they are but since two things can be true at once.ย  There are also a lot of commonalities and evidence linking the two. These are the areas I like to focus on for my thought exploration exercises. This topic of bioengineering organs brings to mind the scripture in Genesis where God created Eve for Adam. It says God created Eve by taking a rib from Adamโ€™s side. Doesnโ€™t this sound similar to the areas of science like bioengineering body parts? Of course, Genesis was written by someone in the first century who didnโ€™t have the proper terminology to describe something like this that he had been inspired to write. Even when the Bible talks about how God first created Adam, it says he was created from dust. If I were a writer long before the first century, I wouldnโ€™t know what atoms and molecules were because they hadnโ€™t been discovered yet. I would probably describe them as dust particles. The point that I am trying to make by drawing all these comparisons is the nature of how we think about what God is, because of the false reasoning of many religious organizations. The image we tend to think of is some magical guy with a long white beard floating on a marshmallow cloud in the sky. When in actually shouldnโ€™t we be looking at God as being the master scientist, the original scientist that has been around longer than we could possibly comprehend. I do not find it difficult to believe that there were civilizations that existed in this universe before us. Mathematically, this is the most likely scenario. Perhaps one of these civilizations had a lot to do with our creation. The ancient astronaut theory is based on the scenario that if we encountered a society that was technologically a hundred thousand years ahead of us, we would consider them angels or gods. ย Imagine a million years or even a billion. There is literally mountains of evidence that suggest this. Ancient Aliens is in like what? 15 seasons. ย The guy who was my best friend growing up. Long before he fried his brain with meth. As kids we would have sleepovers, and we would stay up all night and have these deep philosophical conversations about religion, spirituality and God. Ok, well, honestly, mostly we would stay up all night and just talk about girls. Occasionally, other subjects would slip in there. One of the significant conclusions we came to was that instead of thinking of God as some far off entity.ย  Think of him as a real person. Not a person in the sense that we are a person made of flesh and bones, but a real individual with their own thoughts and emotions. The scriptures say that we were created in Godโ€™s image, perhaps billions of years ago, God was something similar to what we call a human. If there is an architect of this universe, as I believe there is. Donโ€™t you want to be on his good side? I personally will try not to do anything to damage that relationship. The question that I get a lot is: if there is a God, why is life so horrible and unfair? Thatโ€™s a whole other lengthy discussion on itโ€™s own. The short answer is this because perhaps the reward for passing the test of life on this living hell prison planet is really just that incredible. Imagine a reward beyond anything you could possibly comprehend, like your own planet to populate as you see fit, build it into what you would imagine a paradise to be. Itโ€™s theoretically possible there are an unlimited number of planets to be discovered and cultivated. I think that God is just trying to make sure he is not populating the Universe with assholes. Relating back to the film Animal Farm. It greatly reminds me of the story in the book of Numbers where this guy Balaam was riding his donkey on the road and God put an angel in his path. The angel has a sword and was there to kill this guy. The donkey can see the angel but Balaam cannot, so when the donkey veers from the road Balaam starts to beat the donkey. This happens three times before the donkey gives up and just lies down.ย  So Balaam gets pissed and really starts beating the snot out the animal. What happens next, is as the parable goes is that God causes the donkey to be able to speak. Now this is how I imagine that hilarious interaction would have went. First off, I imagine that the donkey sounds like Eddie Murphy in Shrek. Heโ€™s like โ€œOOOOOWWWWW WHY YOU KEEP HITTING ME FOOL?โ€. Then Balaam says the most Homer Simpson thing ever in the Bible when he says: โ€œBecause you're trying to make a fool out of me. If I had a sword Iโ€™d kill you.โ€ It would be funny if the donkey replied to him like: โ€œYeah well you donโ€™t but you want to know who does? That guyโ€. Just then God opens his eyes and allows Balaam to see the angel. The angel is like: โ€œI was going to kill you bro and let the donkey go. He saved your life.โ€ You can go read the whole thing if you want Numbers 22. The funniest part of this story is that the guy didnโ€™t react with utter amazement when the donkey started speaking. Itโ€™s like in the Garden of Eden when the snake started speaking to Eve. In both of these situations my reaction would have been: โ€œSo you can talk? Well, this is certainly newโ€. It reminds me of that commercial where the guy is in the middle of that desolate paradise lagoon. Then a dolphin swims up to him, looking annoyed and asks: โ€œSo how did you find this place?โ€ Looking a little bewildered, the man answers: โ€œYahoo.โ€ The Dolphin says: "Oh" just turns and starts to swim away. The man shouts: โ€œWait โ€ฆโ€ฆ.. Howโ€™d you learn to talk?โ€ The Dolphin casually replies, โ€œYahooโ€. Then, he just swims away. I thought that one was clever and funny. Anyhow, Iโ€™ve become a bit more spiritual as of late, seeing what drastic, tragic, psychotic direction the world has shifted toward.ย  It helps me find hope beyond what we can see and touch in our own physical realm. I believe it could help others. Otherwise, I would not write about it. I have to say these things now, because if not, I might not ever get to say them. While I could be wrong, it does seem like the clock is starting to count down to Judgment Day. I am not ever trying to tell you what to think. This blog is based on my own personal experiences. My thoughts on the Holy Scriptures are this: I believe the Bible is divine, ย but not infallible. Due to the fact that it was written and interpreted by men. There are many different versions and interpretations.ย  Although they all carry the same common theme. The phrase that comes to mind is. โ€œYes, God gave us a book, but he also gave us a brain. Letโ€™s try to use them both in conjunction with each other.โ€ Before I move on to the next topic. I wanted to say the Bible is manโ€™s word. Jesus was Godโ€™s word. I had to get that out. Now moving on to something different.

I wanted to discuss motion graphics and business a little further. In my limited free time, I've been studying and learning the process for a few months now. Keep in mind that people go to school for years to learn this specialized skillset. While I donโ€™t plan on diving that deep into that world. I mainly just want to generate some cool, unique visual effects to accompany my trax. In the past when I wanted to edit a new kind of visual into a video. I was able to find some excellent step by step tutorials to follow along with. For what I want to do particularly, thereโ€™s not much information to learn from. So itโ€™s been a little more time consuming to get up to speed with what it is that I want to do. On the flip side of that when I do get up to speed. There wonโ€™t be many people if anyone is doing what Iโ€™m doing, at least at first. If I can prove it to be a successful formula for digital media. Not only does it become an unlimited supply of exciting content, but it also becomes a service to offer, as well as a digital product in the form of templates for other artists to showcase their own music, which can potentially be another lucrative revenue stream in its own right. I mentioned sync license production earlier which I think is a good opportunity. To be quite honest with you I believe the real potential lies elsewhere. In licensing, people pay you to use your music to sell their products. That equation can be modified. You can use your music to sell your own products. In 2025 I began my self-publishing journey. Publishing books online is a natural fit for me. Since I am a writer I mine as well become an author. Soon, I will jump into the deep end of this business with both feet.In some ways, itโ€™s very similar to what I was doing before with my online store. Except with 75 percent less headache and hassle. Because everything is digital, no physical inventory is required. I want to give you some background on my physical product. It wasnโ€™t a failure it got good ratings people like it and I sold thousands of units. At the same time it was not a success either, I never made it to a large enough margin of profitability to sustain the business. Because of rising manufacturing costs after the pandemic, I would have had to sell it at a price I didnโ€™t think was a good deal for the consumer.ย  Long story short, dealing with physical products and international shipping can quickly become a money pit and a nightmare.Because of that and several other factors I folded the company. This happens with online sales you can consider it part of the learning process, and I did learn a whole lot. The product I was selling is pretty cool. I believed in it and I still do, itโ€™s just not a company and never will be. That said, I still have a few hundred units leftover in my warehouse aka my storage unit.ย  The plan is to give them away when I start my Patreon. The difference between what Iโ€™m doing now compared to what I was doing then is not only not having to deal with physical products. This makes it much more beginner friendly and much less capital intensive. One of the cons of running a cash intensive business is that when opportunities come along if most of your money is tied up in inventory you can't take advantage, you can miss out on good investments. Then all I did was buy a course that did not include any additional support along the way. To help you with critical decisions like choosing your first product. This is not to blame anyone, even though my product checked all the boxes provided to me in the course.ย Even the software I was using told me it was a decent idea. Still due to inexperience I managed to choose the most difficult category I could have possibly chosen to start in. Still, it was a unique, good product, so I saw a measure of success.ย  The platform kept changing the rules and moving the goal post until finally they just nuked the entire category. Which is fine I pulled my inventory and moved on with my life. Some of my competitors were hurt way worse than I was because they were more deeply invested. I see them online still trying to liquidate their inventory. Theyโ€™re selling off their products so cheap that even I had to buy some. Even if I had succeeded with what's going on now with trade will put 90% of online 3rd party sellers out of business. With digital products, I donโ€™t have to worry about any of that. All the products are manufactured in my skull. Also the program I am now in includes a coaching component which pairs you with an experienced, successful self-publisher to consult with. In order to get you the strongest start possible and prevent you from wasting resources or making critical errors that could tank your entire business before you even get started. It includes a money back guarantee and a timeline of about 12 months to get you to five figures a month. It could take a little longer but it could happen even sooner. They are people making a lot more money than that, some self-publishers are doing six and even seven figure months particularly during quarter four. It depends on you.ย  At this point I have a considerable amount of resources to put into this venture and I feel very motivated to level up to the next stage of my life. In Self publishing you are not tied down to a product to have to receive and ship. You're not tied down to job so you can travel. You can manage your business from anywhere in the world with a laptop and wifi. The best part is the majority of the work can be outsourced. So in a year from now I can be semi-retired, God willing. Actually, the best part is that you will have built something that you own. Your own corporation you have freedom, and passive royalties. You can do what you please with the business even sell it. Now while the publishing business is going to be completely separate from my music brand at least at first. When the publishing starts going strong, it will catapult what Iโ€™m able to do musically. Particularly when Iโ€™m able to quit my job. At that point Iโ€™m really going to be able to spread my wings and soar. In the future once I learn and become proficient in both businesses. The videos could catalyze a high level of publishing success. The publishers who are really killing it are not buying ads. Instead they have learned to leverage social media traffic into wildly successful ventures. The trend thatโ€™s starting to emerge as a winning business model is marketing your digital products through the various short form video platforms.ย  If you can successfully direct that traffic towards your online storefronts. There are examples of people leveraging one viral video into six and seven-figure companies. Of course you're not going just to post one video and get rich. You'll have to show up daily and upload hundreds of videos to find your audience. So thatโ€™s one of the reasons Iโ€™m studying and practicing with the 4D motion graphics. This business is a good fit for me itโ€™s based on creativity and imagination. Anything that you can dream up is potentially a new product with little overhead to create and send to market. With this new strategy keep in mind that I donโ€™t necessarily need to be the face of it. The media itself can be the star. The products themselves can have the spotlight.I can just be the driving force behind the company.ย  Thatโ€™s one of the reasons Iโ€™m choosing to just produce instrumentals for now. I believe that will help me appeal to the broadest audience possible. We will see, Iโ€™m still learning and building but that is the direction I can see things going towards. When you re-imagine and restructure your business model things donโ€™t always manifest overnight. One reason for the blog is to keep people in the loop in the meantime.ย  Once I start rolling itโ€™s just a matter of repetition and consistency. Things are definitely starting to turn the corner for me and pretty soon I will be publishing media fast and furiously. Before that starts to happen, the main big thing I need to do is buy a new computer. My old one works fine Iโ€™m working on it now as I write this. Itโ€™s just time for a much more powerful machine. That can handle the massive amount of workload Iโ€™m about to put it through. Also itโ€™s good to have two computers if one goes down you can still be online and work while the other is being repaired. I mentioned I would do this a few years ago, but it wasnโ€™t a good time financially nor a necessity. Within the next few days Iโ€™ll head on down to the local computer shop and put in my order for my new build. Now I have the resources to build a real beast. From there when I get it home I just need to install all my software and we will be up and rolling. Money is so funny when youโ€™re hurting; nobody wants to give you any. Once you get some everybody wants to give you all this free money. You go from a position where you're like Dam, I canโ€™t buy anything extra, to If I donโ€™t start buying stuff, Iโ€™m losing money. Itโ€™s all about getting on the left side of that interest equation. Collecting it instead of paying it.

ย Alright, everybody. I will try to wrap this blog post up today. Itโ€™s funny when you put time in between your writings, even if it's only a week or two, and the whole world has changed. Is it fair to say that World War 3 has officially begun? Theโ€œApocalypse Report,โ€ does anybody have that as a name for their podcast? Or can I use it? Just for documentation purposes, I want to state that this week in June, as we are already engaged in full scale warfare with Russia. We have without provocation for no reason we have illegally attacked Persia. In the attack which is considered an act of terrorism due to the fact that mostly civilians were massacred when their apartment building was bombed in the middle of the night. In order to assassinate civilian nuclear scientist. Because theyโ€™re so scared that these Persians might one day be capable of defending themselves from the unholy terror (the wild beast being ridden by the drunk harlot- reference: Revelations 17-22) unleashed upon them. This is from a country that spends more money on war than every other country worldwide combined. Even though they couldnโ€™t balance their budget even if they wanted to, literally, the interest is too high. Any gesture to do so is pure political theatre. Put on by the actors in Washington. By far the largest slice of that budget is the Pentagon, at a trillion dollars to a department that failed its last 16 audits and cannot account for 60% of its own budget. Then there's this elaborate surade of pretending like they're trying to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. When in actually they are just taking their turn to raid the piggy bank. ย Itโ€™s the oldest scam in the book weโ€™ve all seen Casino. A big briefcase in the money room skim off the top. Distract everyone with meaningless culture war issues. The most surprising thing is that the public is so sedated that they're allowed to get away with it. ย American politics have become so corrupt that they are not even interesting enough to watch anymore. Special interest corporate money sets all policy on the federal level. The richest and most powerful among them being the weapons manufacturers and war profiteers.ย 

Listen, I started writing the portion of this blog where I discussed South Africa and my thoughts on synthetic meat. I just feel like right now, itโ€™s a little inappropriate due to the whole WW3 situation going down. Letโ€™s watch and see where this escalation climaxes. I will put those thoughts into a separate blog in the near future. While we are talking about movies, what about that guy who was the only survivor of that Indian plane crash. He walked away from it with barely a scratch like a superhero. Iโ€™m not trying to downplay the severity of this horrible tragedy, but talk about life imitating art; thatโ€™s the opening scene of Unbreakable. Well, itโ€™s finally time for me to put an end to this month long written rant. You can be sure I will soon return with more. If you do not hear from me for a short while, itโ€™s only because Iโ€™m busy setting up my new computer and installing all my software. Look out for more fitness and health-related content. Right now we have to really take our health and well being into our own hands. The forces that have gained power in this country are actively trying to get people hurt and make them ill, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, I like to add. Which has always been the case in this country but as of late, it has been exacerbated to the max. They are succeeding massively in their efforts. That also explains the assaults on educational institutions. A population that is ill, stupid, misinformed, weak, in debt and uneducated is going to be a lot easier to control than one that is the contrary of that. I want to do my part to counteract the lies and deception. All new music and videos are coming your way soon. I just have to make sure the timing and presentation are on point, so that my time, hard work, and artistry are properly appreciated and as a result monetized accordingly.ย  As always Muuuuccccccchhhhhhh Love to all my whipalizations! I wish you the best as well as success with no stress. Stay tuned I will return soon. Until then this has been your Apocalypse Report.

1st Day of Summer โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿ„๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿจ๐ŸงŠ๐Ÿน๐Ÿ๐Ÿง‰๐Ÿ‡๐ŸงŠ๐ŸŠ๐ŸŒž 

Wzup? It looks like it's time for another magical epic summer, I hope everyone is doing well. The weather is perfect where I am. I'm spending the longest day of the year doing a mix and master. If it is sizzling where you are I hope you find ways to stay chill, hydrated, and out of the path of nature's wrath. I have a status update coming up, so be looking out for that real soon. Until then stay cool my dudes and all the Silkys Staaay Smooooove!!ย 

Memorial Day weekend Rhyme ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿš‘โณ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿพโ€โš•๏ธ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿผ๐Ÿž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿงฌ๐Ÿ“ข๐Ÿง ๐ŸŽผ๐ŸŽง๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿ’ 

Aloha and salutations to everyone on Earth to the Universe and all of civilization throughout all creation, A special shout out to my whipulizations, and as always, much Love to the silkalizations. This is going to be my Memorial Day weekend declaration.ย  I wanted to drop an update on my situation as the world experiences severe turbulence and tribulations. The level of crisis has deepened way beyond all expectations so many require humanitarian assistance and medication. Cities left in a pile of rubble in total devastation. EF5 tornadoes cut a swath through the middle of the nation. Bans and limitations are being placed on social platforms and news organizations, equipment confiscation without an explanation.ย  Except to hide the harsh reality from the broader population.ย  Isnโ€™t it our obligation to ensure children can eat and get an education? What is behind this AI acceleration? But thatโ€™s a different conversation regarding market speculation and Industry destabilization. I draw my inspiration from a worldwide congregation. I can see your protests and demonstrations, I feel your pain and frustration, trying to get your legitimate concerns taken into consideration. They can see the level of destruction from natural disasters start to strengthen so they are seeking some type of policy implementation in combination with strategic preparation, and conglomerate separation. Itโ€™s going to take more than brute force to change the worldโ€™s course. Itโ€™s going to take diplomacy and sacrifice, so analyze and strategize. The rewards are salvation and paradise, visualize a better life our goals are in sight, for those we fight. A data stream is beamed directly into my brain when I go to sleep at night. So, I wake up motivated and energized, the more artists that compromise the more the market is monopolized, Atrocities become normalized, and Communities become Traumatized. What should we do? Where should we go? We look to our elders but they donโ€™t know. So many levels of complexity, Iโ€™m at home working on the recipe, or Iโ€™m online, on the grind, hustling aggressively. How do we leverage technology, to grow a quality, economy? Digital products and crypto cash, solve a problem find your niche and get rich fast. Buy the floor then sell it for more, record highs in 2024, Buy the dips sell the peaks, you can extend a winning streak weeks, you do the math weโ€™re on the right path. Even though times are tough we are having a blast, how long will it last? To build a better future we must learn from the past. Like a cargo ship on course to crash, and make bridges collapse. If thereโ€™s one thing that I know, you have to adapt to grow. So Meditate, Concentrate, Collaborate, Innovate, Anticipate, Demonstrate, Educate, Stimulate, Penetrate then Levitate. We can course correct before it becomes too Late. So, as I end todayโ€™s discussion, Yes I know times are troubling but change is bubbling. We will find solutions, that improve our institutions. We need precise precision along with wise decisions, the new media Iโ€™m working on is like a new invention, please trust that the bass is thumping and the drums are kicking. Now I need to work on the visual, I made the most from the minimal, and Now I compose music like a general, original smoove criminal, Do you think it's that simple, to maintain cohesion and the right tempo, on an instrumental? I Got the planet perplexed about what this guy might just say next. Allow me to put this in a clear context, I will fulfill this quest, we are nothing less than blessed and destined for success. ย So, stay beautiful and have a wonderful holiday weekend. Hereโ€™s something you can believe in, as temperatures are increasing for more than one reason, stay tuned, coming soon, more media updates and new music just in time for the summer season.ย 

2023 Week Two MLK day Thoughtsโ˜”๐ŸŒช๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿฟโ€๐Ÿ’ผ๐ŸŒŒโ˜„๏ธ๐ŸŒ ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‡๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ๏ธ 

Week two 2023ย 

What is going on yโ€™all? New year week two. It hasnโ€™t been that long since we last connected so Iโ€™m just going to jump right into the business of the day. Now I donโ€™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 thatโ€™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 itโ€™s supposed to get out here in cali. I keep reading these heavy sounding buzz words like โ€œatmospheric riverโ€ and โ€œbomb cycloneโ€. I like that they are cool sounding words that I can put into the lyrics of a song. But from my perspective it really hasnโ€™t been all that bad and I work outside. Either driving in or directly exposed to the elements. The news is telling me Iโ€™m under a flooding warning when it hasnโ€™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 itโ€™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 itโ€™s raining but it is winter time people. I know your not use to it but Iโ€™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 Iโ€™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 hasnโ€™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 gearsโ€ฆ..ย 

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 wasnโ€™t going to go battle the crowd of groupies to buy a bottle cognac that Iโ€™m not going drink to meet him. When I did drink hard liquor which I do not at all anymore. I didnโ€™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 canโ€™t speak on some the antics he engages in for publicity. I personally donโ€™t pay attention to that kind of stuff. I donโ€™t consume a lot of the media he produces due to the fact that I donโ€™t feel like itโ€™s going to teach me anything or help me better my life. But thatโ€™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: โ€œHave a baby by me baby and become a millionaire, Iโ€™ll write the check before the baby comes who the f*** caresโ€. Anyhow since I didnโ€™t get to so I didnโ€™t get to say this to him in person Iโ€™ll say here. WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!!!! Yeeeeeee!!! Letโ€™s get down I am an asset and a creative work horse. I write, produce, mix, edit whatever the task calls for, Iโ€™m all about getting those results. Anyway, thatโ€™s it thatโ€™s all I wanted say. Moving on switching gearsโ€ฆโ€ฆ.ย 

I did want to say my piece about the man of the day. Since it is the MLK day holiday weekend. Now Iโ€™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 thatโ€™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. ย 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 doesnโ€™t live an extraordinarily lavish lifestyle and ย he has commit to donate his entire 100 billion dollar or so fortune to charity upon his passing. Today weโ€™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 didnโ€™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 didnโ€™t have to stick his neck out like that. Because letโ€™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 gearsโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ.ย 

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. ย 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. Itโ€™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 canโ€™t please everyone and I donโ€™t even want to anyway. Thatโ€™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, Iโ€™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? Thatโ€™s right itโ€™s the year of the Bunny Wabbit. I cannot see how that canโ€™t be positive sign for things to come. Yโ€™all know rabbits are my source of power and I feel stronger already. That is it for now party people. I didnโ€™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.ย 

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, Itโ€™s like a new life with a slice of paradise, Where things like jealously and war donโ€™t exist anymore, And I would get to spend every day with the Silkys that I Adore, thatโ€™s the future I envision and what I strive for =)ย

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 โ€œSilky Smoove Blogcast Broadcastโ€. Here with another post Iโ€™m your host from the coast that gets it poppin the most. This isnโ€™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 โ€œPurple Rainโ€, โ€œCan You Stand the Rain?โ€, โ€œI Saw You Walking in the Rainโ€. 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 didnโ€™t. Itโ€™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 doesnโ€™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 didnโ€™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 thereย  and massaged my legs and I have been in need of doing that since Iโ€™m still running for an hour every day. So Iโ€™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 โ€œatmospheric riverโ€. 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 didnโ€™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 Iโ€™m off tomorrow Monday and Iโ€™m usually not. Thatโ€™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 didnโ€™t work out like that. See on my usual schedule I work four days a week. So when the holidays roll around weโ€™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 Iโ€™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. Itโ€™s always a good sign that the first day of the year turns out to be a good day. ย Keep in mind when I leave the gym Iโ€™m still not done working out for the day. Iโ€™m still in the midst of my running experiment where I run on the treadmill every day for one hour. Iโ€™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 Iโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 Iโ€™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, Iโ€™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 Iโ€™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, Iโ€™m continuing to run every day because I like the results. The 12 pac is starting to come in. Iโ€™m starting to see my side obliques but I admit itโ€™s been difficult to develop my lower abs. Which means either Iโ€™m not targeting them effectively enough in my workouts or I need to lose more body fat. Itโ€™s probably a little bit of both. Keep in mind that with bodybuilding in this sport your main competition is yourself. You donโ€™t need to compare yourself to other people. Whether itโ€™s your exercise routine, nutrition or supplementation itโ€™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.ย 

What I didnโ€™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 ofย  my life. Though I still have a way to go I feel like Iโ€™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 โ€œam I just now getting to the good part of my life it sure took long enoughโ€. 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. Weโ€™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 donโ€™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 wasnโ€™t going away. You see that I kept my word Iโ€™m still here with you. I donโ€™tย  know how far I will get within the music business itโ€™s a difficult terrain, but like I once said before as far as what I am capable of doing, I donโ€™t feel like Iโ€™ve even scratched the surface yet. When I do reach my potential the platform is not going to matter. When Iโ€™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 Iโ€™m supposed to be working on and Iโ€™m so excited to do just that. Iโ€™m going to be able to bring all the different techniques that Iโ€™ve learned and developed over the years together and create some interesting soundscapes. You will see and hear it wonโ€™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. Iโ€™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 =) ย

I wasnโ€™t going to do this but I just couldnโ€™t stay away from all my silkys,ย 

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

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

This is becoming my addiction, my affliction,ย 

I might need a prescription, for my condition,ย 

Pay close attention as I convene this intervention,ย 

Iโ€™m a rebel on a mission, I observe no traditions,ย 

The past is the past and thatโ€™s my final decision,ย 

So bring your inquisition, Iโ€™m holding my position,ย 

Iโ€™m a New Edition, to the X-files Division, From the 5th Dimension,ย 

I donโ€™t know the future but I have a Premonition,ย 

Inflation I heard, is just a made up word,ย 

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

Is there something wrong with me writing down the things that Iโ€™ve observed?ย 

So much greed itโ€™s disgusting, In return they give us nothing,ย 

They donโ€™t give a dam as long as the pumps keep pumping,ย 

The thing thatโ€™s really the most Troubling,ย 

They donโ€™t seem to realize that the Real Storm is Bubbling,ย 

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

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

an Octopus has 3 hearts and 9 brains,ย 

they can shape shift and color change,ย 

theyโ€™re smart enough to know your name,ย 

but smart enough not to play your game,ย 

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

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

They use Jet propulsion to fly through the Ocean,ย 

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

an International problem requires an International resolution,ย 

Research why these countries are collapsing before jumping to conclusions,ย 

With patriotic paranoid Delusions,ย ย 

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

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

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

44 days as Prime Minister really are you joking,ย 

Couldnโ€™t outlast the head lettuce so what are the torreys smoking,ย 

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

Iranโ€™s leaders are still killing protesters and cheerleaders,ย 

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

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

alright yโ€™all thatโ€™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 Iโ€™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.ย
