SOPA, PIPA, and other downright painful acronyms.

I started writing a script that I’m going to turn into a video soon. I wanted to post this because I may never get around to making a video. In case I don’t make that here’s my script on my feelings toward SOPA and PIPA. Please chime in and let me know your thoughts. “Hi, [...]

An Integral Integration

“THERE WAS ONE A DOG WHO GOT A BONE. THIS DOG WALKED UP TO A LAKE AND SAW HIS REFLECTION. THE DOG IN THE REFLECTION HAD A BONE, AND THEN THE DOG TRIED TO GET THE BONE IN THE REFLECTION AND LOST BOTH BONES LOL” I’m glad to be able to understand children’s stories. My [...]

Long Overdue? SHUT UP

It’s amusing. The bittersweetness that is touring. Naturally anyone who has any kind of day job AND is a musician would probably throw their own grandmother off of a cliff to tour for a living. There was a former bassist from a very famous metal band that I met recently. The dude did several world [...]

Ambition, cupcakes, and you.

So apparently the science behind blogging is to, “Post relevant, interesting, entertaining stuff often without clutter.” Well, that’s MY summarization of what I think blogging is after researching other blogs and whatnot. I’ve got quite a bit to cover here so I’ll make ‘er good. The new Psychostick design is finished. It’s not active as [...]

Creationism. Not what YOU’RE thinking of…

Been busy. Not that “gotta-collect-everything-in-Oblivion” busy, but actual busy! For starters, let’s talk Alfredo Afro. I had to put it on hold last week due to a little Psychostick store launch, but I picked back up on it yesterday and things are moving along. 46% as of this writing, which at 60% means I’m done [...]

Doing stuff is what I do!

I’ve discovered the secret behind why reality TV shows are so… popular. Curiosity. Oh yes, it’s that simple. People always want to know the hidden, secret stuff. Those ridiculous magazines you see when you’re buying groceries is another sample. “Brad and Jen reunion! Angelina shoots heroin!” It’s completely insane but we ALL want to know [...]

No, we can’t ALL get along. Sadly, that’s human nature.

There’s always some sort of unease in this business that I do. One of the realities and inevitabilities of leadership is the fact that you simply can’t please everyone. Despite how honest I am, and with all facts presented, there is no salvation for me in certain peoples’ eyes. I’ve spent a tremendous amount of [...]

Accountability is not the ability to crunch numbers.

19 December, 2009 (18:23) | Business/Leadership | By: Rawrb

What does it take to succeed? In anything? I pose this question to you in hopes that you can understand me better and better yourself. People want to succeed – they do. Inherently, of course. Doing whatever it takes to move forward is another story, and that – it seems – is where most fall [...]

Bullshit. It’s everywhere. Can you spot it?

16 April, 2009 (05:34) | Business/Leadership, Music and Band, Personal, Web Design/CSS | By: Rawrb

I typed an entire blog and hit backspace and lost it. FUCK. Hey, Firefox (and all browsers while we’re making this a point), REMOVE BACKSPACE FROM YOUR SHORTCUT KEYS. That’s really annoying. Um, so yeah – the blog was about how to spot bullshitters and dismiss them from your business and your life in general. [...]

Internet Radio Whore.

9 March, 2009 (01:41) | Apple/Mac, Business/Leadership, Personal | By: Rawrb

You know, I’ve been considering putting together an internet radio show for Psychostick and Pluh.com for a while now. My idea would be when we’re off tour, every Monday night or so. When we’re ON tour, once a week when we have a day off from touring. Of course there are some complications with that [...]
