the Creative Process: the Mixxdown 🌧️🌞🙍🏼🙍🏾‍♂️🧬👨🏿‍🍳🌻🍄🍲😋🙃🎧🤔⚡🧠💡🎉💚🎂💛 

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 

Happy 2024 end of the year wrap up update 🎆🎇 🎉 🎊 🎰🎵 🎶 🎼 🌌🌕🎥 ♠️🎞️☃️🎻 🎹 🍾💋 🧡💯 💙💛❤️💚 

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 1st 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!

the Creative Process Prelude November update 🤔🙏🏾✍🏾👷🏽‍♀️👷🏾🕊️🕊️💙🛸🎹❤️🎻🌄🧡🌅🗿🚀🩶🩶 

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 7th 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 1st. 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!

 

Sunday Night Live Fall Rapp pt 3 🤙🏾🖖🏾🧡💐💛💎💚✍🏾 🎼🎶⛽🎻🤔🥪 🍝 🧇 🎙️😍 

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, 😉        

                                          

 

Labor Day Music Update 🎼🎵🎶🎙️🎧🎹🎥🎸🛸🌕🕊️🦅 🛌🏾🛀🏿 🏋🏾🏃🏾🎧🎹 

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.

 

 

Sunday Night Live Heatwave Rapp pt2 ☀️🌡️🔔🎼💽🎶🦸🏾‍♂️🐚🍌🗽📱📹🕶️🛣️🎹🦔🏎️🌏⏳🌠⭐🎧🧠♠️🌕🛌🏽🍦🧉🏖️🏄🏾‍♂️🥵 

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 5th,

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,

Saturday Morning Rapp pt 2 🌡️⌨️💥🔥🎻🎧🖊️✍🏾🏎️🏀📝🪁📬📨👋🏾📊🎆⚡🔌🎱🏘️🎓📜🧠💌🤪🌐🥳🎊 

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 4th 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,

7th day of May the Force be with you update🍓🍭🌌🌛☀️🗼🎬🎞️🖋️🎸🍗🏦💰🏖️🏨🏄🏿‍♂️🎰🏃🏿‍♂️🔥🖖🏾🍎🎧🍏🎹🍊 

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 ;-] 

 

 

 

2023 Week Three Thoughts 🤙🏿🎙️✍🏿 🥶🌞🏃🏿‍♂️🕶️🎼😢⚰️🙏🏽🕊️🎸📻📺🎞️🌎💛☮️💚😇👩🏽‍⚖️⚖️💰🤑👯‍♀️💝🍟🍲🥘🍕🍝🐇🎉🎆 

Hello there again thrill seekers and party go’ers I hope that life and the new year are still treating you and all your loved ones well. I’m going to try to keep this journal entry brief so let’s jump right into it. I don’t plan on making this a weekly thing especially since on some weeks it’s actually better for me to be silent. But that aint this week this week is a week to speak so let’s get into the mix. I am trying to stay relatively consistent with these blogs so that it helps me become faster at writing them. I believe it probably is a good skillset have in the arsenal. When you express your thoughts and feeling it really helps to clear the brain and helps your focus. Like I said in a previous blog I like the idea or writing these pieces in real time as events unfold around me. 

First the weather report: Since the rain stopped the temperature has dropped and it is very cold. Still the weather is beautiful. It’s freezing still bright and sunny with clear blue skies. Only at this stage in my life could I stay in the lab to write and work. When I was younger there’s no way I would be inside on a day like this. I would have to go to the mall or the park or something. Fortunately, I have a back yard where I can take a break and go out and soak up some sunshine and fresh air. These cold temperatures are ideal for the running. It makes your runs so much more pleasurable and enjoyable. 

Next up, in music news the universe is mourning the loss of David Crosby in his physical form. While I am not the one to speak to a lot on this amazing individual. Due to the fact that before Thursday I didn’t directly realize how much iconic music he has been involved with creating, and what a huge impact he has had on culture and society. Through out my whole life I’ve seen his face and heard his name, but I didn’t equate him with all of his epic song creations that I have been exposed to through all forms of media outlets TV, radio, movies and commercials. So, I wanted to pay my respects. It took him passing for me to realize what a huge fan I am of his truly legendary catalog. I really admire his musical style referring to the whole constructual architecture of his work. The good vibes, the melodies and harmonies. His songs are like your favorite soup they warm the soul and ease the brain. His style of music is therapeutic it relieves stress so it helps heal the body. His songs were ones that anyone could relate to they transcended all boundaries and culture lines. I’m glad he realized the incredible legacy he would be leaving be leaving behind. This should impress upon all artist the immense power of spreading positivity in a world that now increasing needs more of those good vibrations. His songs will never die so he will continue live on through his incredible body of work. Until the day that he is with us again because we can be sure that God is a fan David Crosby’s music. 

In other music news, Flo Rida remember him? He had a good run made some party music and quite a few hit songs. Well he just won his lawsuit against an energy drink company that breached their endorsement deal with him. A Florida jury awarded him 82.5 million dollars. In the suit his legal team didn’t name a specific dollar amount but rather the 1 percent of company that he was promised in their contractual agreement. So this tells us how successful this company must have been with use of his likeness. We can take away a couple good lessons from this situation. It show us that music has power in the world of branding, marketing and selling of consumer goods. It’s also show us the benefit of having your business and legal affairs in order. Because this could have been just another story of a musician exploited by a corporation for his name and following. A lot of times these situations come down to having the resources to battle back and forth in the court of law. He had the common sense and the funds to stay lawyered up. So he would prevail. I’ve even heard the money should be tax free. Good for you bro, invest wisely my friend. Now is the time the market is down and even real estate is starting soften. 

So party people that’s it for now, It’s time I take a bow, 

Do you want to Acquire what you desire? Stay tuned to find out how, 

I  just wanted to say wsup I hope your weekend is chill, 

I hope the silkys know the way I feel is the real deal, 

I said I was going to talk about some movies and the next time I will, 

Buts it’s getting kind of late, And my meal prep can’t wait, 

So I’ll watch the movies a few more times and we’ll discuss them on a later date, 

Until then I wish you much good cheer, 

I hope you have a groovy weekend and a happy Chinese New Year  ;-]

2023 Week Two MLK day Thoughts☔🌪️🙏🏾🏂🏽👶🏽💰👨🏿‍💼🌌☄️🌠🐇🧡🐇💜🐇👑🏝️ 

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 =)

Universal Human Rights Day 🌍🌎🌏🔱🌕🌠🎹 

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.

Saturday Rainy ☔ day Rapp 🎉🎆🧮🧠🧨💥💽💻🌍🚢✍🏿🍹⚡⛰️🌋😢⚰️🚀😡😍😜🎁🧴⛈️🤖🛠️💎🥶☃️🔥🎙️ 

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,

Acquire what you Desire: Becoming the Best version of Yourself Intro 🥶🔥🍲💸🛫✈️🪂🌮🌮🌮🎙️🎹🎼🏃🏾 

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
