Mystical Music and Art

Hey there, Hows it going now that retrograde has ended in the month of May for you?. Wait let me rephrase that because retrograde has not ended. It will end on June 7th. Yes I am into astrology and I have been keeping abreast of Mercury Retrograde and the latest with my Saturn Return since 2003 or so. Why well let me tell you how it all got started first. My dad was also a leo so I was brought up being aware of that particular astrological sign I was and how it created my personality and attributes. My family would comment "oh you are just like your dad in that way" and knowing we were both Leo's helped me understand "what way" they were referring to. Later on as I got older at the age of 21 I met a young lady in a bar who was sort of obsessed with Leo's and she said "you are a leo I can tell and I can tell you all about yourself" I was curious and found out more about my sign through our friendship. By the year 2003 I lastly remembered being on...

My apology goes out to Julian, Danny Santos (Happy Belated), Jeanie, Stella, Sierra, Illana Levine, Andrew Hur and my cousin Joi Bug. Also to Netta for receiving a y5o CD that didn't work. ooh as bad as that all sounds please be assured that I am not that much of a dooshbag and some people did get there CDs. Also my heart is in the right place. I do want you to have one of the coolest CDs I ever was of a part of. . . a true piece of my life. But yes the truth is I am having no luck when it comes to being efficient about my mail out to you all. And my CD is low budget anyhow hahaha not sure if it was supposed to be such a grand gesture. For real I wrote on it with a sharpie marker. I thought it would be a nice thing for you to receive as a personal gift from me to you. Problem is I didn't drop it in the mail and today is the deadline before Mercury goes Retrograde and has its way with communications and mail etc. See your local astrology site for details on what happens when ...

I recently developed the habit of wanting to know my bank balance daily and keep track of my bills and spending habits over time. How about you? For some reason online banking has a place in my heart. Why? Well maybe because I am online often and even spend quite a bit of time purchasing items online using the familiar amazon books, paypal and venturing into other options of using my digital cash flow to get by in life. To be quite honest I am someone who saves money every day even if it is just a penny I see on the floor while walking in the street. Most of my banking is done from my iphone application and I personally have an electronic shocking mechanizm attached to my phone that can knock a person unconscious for 3 days straight if they touch my iPhone and try to enter my banking information without my permission. . . .Just kidding about that last bit. Haha Anyhow there has been this current new trend with people and how they use online banking and it has been coined Banking 2.0 b...

Hello my neyba, Google Docs has been a life saver for me and keeping my life and documents both business and personal organized.

Well for one its mobile. . . Like I said earlier you will be mobile with your work and creations. I personally use google docs to create word documents that I can see no matter where I am. When I am not even in the office I can look at a word document that I created in 2002 that has all of my business plans or even notes I took from a book I read in them. Its cool to be mobile these days and the internet and google docs have master how to get your work online and in your hands no matter where you are. For Two Google Docs is Microsoft Efficient. . . What does that mean? Well it means you have the power of Powerpoint presentations, WORD documents, Exce...

For those of you who have known me for some time can recognize that I have been working as a DJ, I have been an MC and entertainer, I have taught my own courses to the youth on the Willpowa Theory a course about the 5 elements of art, I have taught yoga to the pre-schoolers, published music and produced compilation albums, and even had the benefit of working for others in the arts and on other jobs as well. As I type I am seconds away from heading to my night position as an assistant to the raw food chef in an live organic vegan kitchen here in NYC. Out of all the great career opportunities I have had I have never had financial freedom or better yet been rich. I have always been an entrepreneur, use to the cutting edge technology and concepts, and available to motivate and encourage others to follow there wildest dreams no matter what they were as long as they were positive and not hurting anyone. So I guess that is what has drawn me to this program called the Millionaire Mind 90 Day W...

Sound Advice TV - Featuring Derek Sivers - The Pitch So here is a video presented by Ariel of Ariel Publicity featuring Derek Silvers. About 5 years ago I once met someone who worked for Ariel Publicity and their promotions in a lounge where I would DJ here in NYC. My impression from meeting an employee of the company was that Ariel is a "legit" as well as effective and on top of what they do as far as publicity goes. Derek Silvers who is featured in this video has changed the face of my music career with his CDBaby.com website as well as other ventures he has created such as Hostbaby that enabled me to stay on the cutting edge and enhance my music career. My first consistent website was Undakovamusic.com which was hosted by Derek's company called Hostbaby.com. All of the older journels from this site you reading now were originally on Derek Silvers Hostbaby site first. I can just imagine what the advice from these two people will be able to do for your career and abili...

Oh my god. So check it. I have had this album called "MURS for President" for about a two weeks along with the U2 album and I have been listening to them both simultaneously. Actually if it wasn't for these albums I think I might have lost hope, quit my night job at the raw food kitchen, and just pursued my passion so furiously that I burnt myself out. But no. This MURS album for instance has been allowing me to feel more comfortable and at ease knowing there is hope for good music. More importantly great hip hop. My opinion is these kids need it. I work with young men from Africa (Burkina Faso) who didn't grow up with hip hop and all they know is Cassidy and Bird Man. What message do they now have about being a black man in America? All I know is that we work around the most positive food and environment you can find in NYC and they still see no place for that in the music they call "hip hop" If you know me personally you can basically admit the last time...

The Ba-Gua and Feng Shui has been a interesting hobby of mine for over 5 years now. I have enjoyed the ride of changing my space (both inner and outer) to align with the themes, colors, directions and wisdom of Feng Shui. The Ba-Gua tool has enhanced the balance in my room as well as in my personal and emotional life. I keep one in my room these days facing the screaming New York City High way haha. Today I have a more holistic approach to my lifestyle. In the past when I first thought about my life I would say "to myself I just want to be happy and healthy. Understanding the Ba-Gua has now enlivened my approach to a balance lifestyle by allowing me to see that living a healthy and happy life can consist of more than just that. I gain happiness and healthy living through my focus on the 8 areas of the Ba-Gua. To me they stand for Wisdom, Health and Family, Wealth, Fame, Relationships, Creativity and Children, Helpful People and Contacts, and lastly Career. My career and wealth...

So recently I ventured over to J and R Music world to do some market research on great popular music. I jogged over to the huge location downtown, walked on the huge location, and what immediately popped out on the shelf was the latest U2 album. I didn't pay that much attention, took notes of my thoughts which were I am sure everyone is buying that. . . Wow on sale. . . Let me look around more. I walked around a bit, looked at some Michael Jackson CDs, and the album covers realizing I have those physical records. Then I dropped the CDs when tripping over some customers thought to myself "wow when was the last time I actually bought my music from a store rather than instantly download it from iTunes? I have such bad music store etiquite now" I then move on to the poster section of the the store where I can quietly get away and enjoy some time observing something without interfering with another's perspective. Reading quietly to myself the Barrack Obama acceptance spe...

How to build a customized apartment studio ? A question that if I knew would change the course of my life. Imagine truly recording from home. In style. In privacy. On my own time. With whom I choose. Ugh sounds like a dream come true from this standpoint of writing to you from my day job in a Coney Island library. I love what I do but if I have to be immobile and giving service I might as well be in my own home and being ultra creative right? Yes. So surfing around I found an article that can get me started on doing just that. Instuctables.com is a website that has several step by step instructions on how to create things that people are interested in creating but perhaps don't have the instructions how. Although they have several sections from Offbeat, Pets, Ride, Green, Games, Kids and home etc. I was in the music section when I literally got 9 detailed steps on how to sound proof and build my dream studio. Check out the steps below. Build a music studio in an apartment building ...

So recently I realized that I truly want to do something about homelessness in the world? Why? Well because I never really had to struggle paying my own rent. I never really had it hard enough to be homeless. I do believe that that is because I was and still am very fortunate to have the type of family I have and a mother who cares for me immensely. But anything can happen these days. God forbid a fire, thief, getting laid off, drugs, the levi broke, the check didn't clear, I lost my ID, Life life life, the recession, and the friggin economy, racism, and pure laziness gone bad can all have their effects one way or another on us directly or indirectly and be the cause of homelessness. Am I right? [caption id="attachment_279" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Are we sleeping on homelessness?"] [/caption] Well perhaps not but what I do notice is that what is evident is that there is something that exist in our day and age called homelessnes...

Raw CEO Interview with Avacado A wealth of knowledge is spilling from David Wolfe in this interview by the RAW CEO. "You are what you eat is the foundational law of all of LIFE" "Chew your juice drink your food" "Digesting causes Sleeping" and many more jewels. Love how the lil dog is waiting for the bee pollen as his mid-night snack as well.

Hola peoples, Here is the lowdown... Back in February of 2007, Mike Filsaime held a secret Private Workshop at an undisclosed location. Over 100 people paid $5000 for the Workshop. He then took those DVD's (Which now sell for $1297) and sold it out in record fashion in under 7 days to 2500 people. Since then... over 3000 people have paid for that information. The success stories that followed have changed the face of Internet Marketing. (Filsaime, along with his 37 Staff Members, will do $10,000,000 this year in sales and is credited with showing other marketers how to grow a 7 figure Business.) SO what?! Ok so this is why I am even talking about this at all. A) I like Mike and the information he provides for what I am up to in life. B) Mike hired an Internet Marketing Expert and Copywriter (That also attended the event.) Paid this "TOP GUN" $25,000 to watch all 16 DVD's of "The 7 Figure Code" and condense it into a Masterpiece... THE RESULT... An 85 Page re...

Ok so its been a few month of being involved in twittering. Yes I have been on Twitter since January I believe and I have about 530 followers and have made several tweets which go directly to my facebook status which I love. So basically I have been using twitter to be a connection to making status's that not only go to facebook but can be on the twitter public timeline as well as in several widgets that are attached to my blog and even myspace. I guess its say for me social networking has been a focus in the new year. But it gets better. . .even better. I am about to try Twhirl. You know what Twhirl is? oh man so why didn't you tell me? Oh oh you don't know what it is? Well its a desktop application (which might be shady) that allows you to organize your twitter experience in a huge way. They even have more of these desktop appliciations available by other names. Tweet Deck and some others probably exist too. So anyhow it was a decision between Tweet deck and Twhirl for m...

Today I wanted to express something that has been of interest this month since I lost my blackberry curve on the train. That is correct? you heard right? I lost my phone. . . and guess what? A generous and kind young new yorker who assists the world by working with an organization to develop housing and programs for the homeless emailed me and returned my phone immediately. Yes I was certainly lucky he was so thoughtful and kind. I was also fortunate because I was able to get his emails and his calls through my new phone which was an Iphone replacement. Anyway my point in saying all this about phones is. Phones come and go and they are only getting cooler and more a part of our personal lives. What happens when we lose these phones or they get into the wrong hands? Does our personal lives go with it? Usually that is the case. So this post is dedicated to helping you and your loved ones stay safe in these technological times where anything can happen and anyone can find you via Twitte...

Come on Take a walk through this Mainframe of this corporate forte-urous (Fortress) Same game just fame is what they offer us Its all corrupt don't let your thoughts adjust To the television sets Cause they forcing us To lose all that's sacred and its costing us We cruise the hatrix like morpheus With out a clue in this world what's in store for us Who knows what its all because But they say its for my own protection And the war on drugs So we live in sections Eyes all on us Like George Orwell 1984 on us Man listen I am trying to make decisions logically Cause the forty acres and a mule that they promised me Honestly Is a dream only we could make true SO what I am saying to you is. . . .

GE-GE-GENTR- GEN-GEEEENNN GENTRIFICATION!!!!! ALERT!!!! what?!?!? Who? Who did it? Where? WHHHHYYY? I will tell you all about it in this brief update but first let me explain what gentrification is by using an excerpt from Tom Wetzel's 2004 article on the G-Word itself. "In other times and places an inflow of investment fuels gentrification. Upscale condos are erected, houses are rehabbed. Candle-lit restaurants and stores catering to people with higher incomes displace bodegas and used appliance stores. Rents rise as landlords realize they can attract professionals and business people as tenants. An area of "valuable city real estate" is being cleansed of its working class residents." There was no question in my mind that Brooklyn's Infamous Coney Island is on its way to G-Land. A disney style amusement park with a neighborhood of tourist attractions to match. Sounds great right? Yeah sure if you are an ATM. If you are the Asian, Russian, Black and other mi...

Turns out that being a stalker has become cool. These days if you are following more than 500,000 people you are part of an elite group of folks such as Internet Marketers, Brands, Companies and Government officials. Well what do I mean when I say following? Well I mean on Twitter of course. Some my "Digg" (Diggs.com) some may "add as friends"(myspace,facebook) and some may "become a fan of" (reverbnation.com) but on twitter we follow to hear your latest tweets. The more people you follow the more tweets you hear, the more tweets are heard by you, the more influence you have they say. But don't take my word for it. Do your own research on Twitter or check out this Free Twitter Report and know more "twitter secrets" . From what I have noticed even my daily newspaper AM NEW YORK wants me to "follow them on twitter" Perhaps so they can follow me and communicate better with their readers. Who else is interested in the follow phase we ...
