Get good at what you don't know

Life is a game to those who play it well, a job for those who don't quite know how to, and hell for everyone else. So I say. Even still, most of what goes for hardship in life is simply not knowing how to do certain things well. When you have something you'd like to improve on, go for it. Don't do too much thinking about all that. Just sort of fall into it. Too much thinking leads to prudence -and prudence gone stale is just a bunch of shit left undone - so handle whatever it is you've been avoiding because of your "ignorance" or whatever it is that barriered your ass from handling.

In daily news, I feel for life. I'm not feeling from a pedestal, but still I see that things are getting submerged in this sort of quasi-ultra-PC bullshit and it's got to be stopped. The only thing that will stop it is comedy. That's it. I'm going to take a shot at it, and succeed. There. It's in writing someplace in the world that I'm a hilarious comedian. I'm not interested in making you chuckle. Pounds of horseshit comedy out there to get that to you pretty nicely.

Also too - raunch is not the way to go today. Everyone is raunchy - it's a special sort of raunch, one outside of the performancy Jewish sizzle that we all have come to enjoy and tolerate over the years. It's funny, but no longer the status quo. Let the young, vibrant comedians come through and bash their lack of confidence to the ground with their mind shattering laugh techniques. To any old timer reading this, it's gotta happen. Trust. You, me, and every generation to come will enjoy the rippling of this well done.

Enough for now, though. When something else comes through, I'll let you know. Time for some pushups, situps, and some careful planning of my night and tomorrow's energetic mid term day!

Have a good one!

Changes to be so serious about.

Here's a few after I made some work over here:

myspace.com/jadevillaine

and here

iamhiphop.com/jadevillaine

It's going down because it's all about power brands, bro. Everyone's making real estate, let's occupy. Let's become a force to be used for good. Good Force. Something simple and awesome. I think that's a good thing, this Good Force. I'm using that soon, foo.

So here we are, though not being ushered down a street of crying. In other words, it's Guy Mode, which means hell yea we're getting involved with doing the right thing, but in a hardnosed, get-to-the-point way. It's on point. Right there. Straight out. Here it is without dithering any longer:

1)Be Closer to Mom. She deserves some closeness. It's difficult, because my mother can be a cactus at times, but its a small price to pay to have your mother around. There will come times when it's truly important to have her. Her love never dulls, it's brightness cascaded only by her choosing. Peace and good will to all those Good Mothers out there. The ones who keep their children from wrong's arms, and instill organic and ever evolving discipline and respect in the core of their being. Your kids are going to save the world.

2)Be Closer to Life. You're in the sky so so often. It's beginning to get dusty down there. Clean up. Get right. Straighten your face to the place. Get Light. Get serious. Get through. (That's a song too y'all) Ardy Lightfoot all the way, man.

3)Be with God. Got is in you. And above you. And Through you. The spirits are lighter that smoke. Take that Gem and go be powerful!

4)Be Hustlemode-ish. Remember that what you do not build, will not yield any result. When you build something, you will reap the reward of it being built. Whatever love, quality, and sentiment you put into it, the result of it will radiate from and off and through the "whatever." That energy will then be absorbed by nearby energies as well. It's very important to be positive with your product, and to get it out often.

5)Be Humble. As you've learned, nobody likes a pushy newcomer. It's disgusting. It's a blurred reflection from what they remember having to endure coming up. Who wants to think that some partial ass wiping, 1 ply shitstain is going to have the moxie, strive and vision to go all out and totally win? It's unsettling. Let good thoughts be with you. Travel. One day we will have it...

Have a good one,

Overcome your lacking.

So this is a note I wrote to myself - whatever that means today. It's like being stuck in a blender, but after all the foam from the fast slicing stopped, and you're left with this puss emulating scatter that has a lot of substance - but so withered and stressed thin that it's not going to be of a lot of use to anyone. God I miss my reason. It was so pure, and my days were so shiny. I probably should be a positive thinker from here on out. Falling is no joke, and I've sure fallen quite a ways.

But that alone is a state of mind. None of this giving up. None of this narcotic driven drabble. It's time actually to sleep, because no champion is complete without rest. And good planning. Nothing done without good planning. That's essential. Here's a good resource.

Another good resource is this little snippet from some worthy notes I'm planning to publish at some point in life. This happens to be about a new body of music I'm working on:

What will you do to promote this new release?

What release?

This new collection of instrumentals. This configuration is fucking awesome. You've got to breathe some life into all these tracks. They are definately the shit, but they've got to have some life breathed into them. That's the most important thing. If you listen to a track and don't particularly know what's being said, then you have to understand what has to be felt. Often times, words in a crowd have little meaning because you can't hear everything all the time. It's the sound of the music and the freedom to express the feelings that come with it naturally and pleasurably that makes a song useful. That's what counts. So once they know what you're talking about, that's added depth.

Habit Banks and Some other Useful Note Tangents

Habit banks! Once those synaptical indentations are made, it's very hard to undo them. But you don't need to undo them. Simply change their purpose. Its like building a house on land - you don't need to destroy the house once the initial owner is gone. That is, unless you want too. Know that it's going to take good effort to build another house. It can be certainly done, but think of the effort. If the effort is not a stopping factor for you, then you have a chance at success.

So to change your habits, change the labels they associate with. If you want to wake up earlier, for example, you would discover why. In this and every major discovery in your life, it is good to have an Internal frame of reference. Many people tend to have an External frame of reference, and this is why there is much discontent in their lives. What good is having the thoughts of another person to be used for the inside of you? It's like having a key to the wrong lock. You can damage the lock to fit the key, or simply find the key that fits. That key is with the locksmith inside of you, and nowhere else.

To run with the metaphor, ask yourself also this: Do you want this locksmith to make random keys out of boredom or confusion, or do you want a precious set of master keys? The latter is going to take diligence, and a keen understanding of what you want. Ask your locksmith. Ask your heart. Ask your mind. Ask your soul. Ask Jesus. Ask God. Ask. Ask within and know the answer is available. It is. But it takes effort to change your point of reference from outside to inside. Stay with it. Giving up is silly. Get yourself together and invest in your future. Make good records. Keep good records. Document key steps daily. Do these things, and your locksmith will know what rooms to make the master keys for. And then have those keys ready for you. These master keys open the doors to the most powerful rooms. So decide what these keys open.

Have a good one,

Finding the reason for Feh.

I'll be the first to admit I'm no professional at a lot of things. I've slid into being the jack of all trades for quite some time, and it's no good. It's like moldy steak - at some point it was wonderful, but now it's like dirty and stale. Moldy shit that sucks and sucking isn't good at all. Don't suck. Just actually be good at what you're doing.

The way not to suck is fairly simple: Believe that you don't. That's right. Despite whatever splatter you've had before, today can be the new start. But no one can hold that to you. You've got to stick that in your own face. I'll have a video or something about it soon. Don't worry about what happened before. Shit happens to everyone before.

So keep yourself occupied with your success. Don't let yourself fall into a trend of rushing from one thing to the next. That's no good, and it smells awfully gross. Does any of this make sense? No? Writing from the ass again? Possibly.

Don't worry, though.

Also, if you're learning something, you might as well get some good help.

Have a good one.

Wallow Not!

So it's come down to this. This instant wanting of things, this lack of motivation, and this confusion of direction and suspension of belief. But you want things to be fine all the same. You know they are, in a Zen sort of way. Perhaps a cuddly riddle. Welcome to 2008.

That's why it's time for Guy Mode. Guys need to know that when it comes to being a man, you have to navigate through a hardcore amount of that lamesauce neuterlife we call Political Correctness. Fuck that.

People who don't like opinion that stings are like the dogs who take white shits. Sick, unheavenly individuals devoid of the same souls all people share. Or just scared of something. So, for them, maybe 1% PC. Not much more. It's nothing to tell someone exactly how you feel if maybe there's a gate around it that stretches for a mile. But the 20cm gate won't cut it any longer.

Guy mode isn't about chauvinism. It's about definition. Be yourself first. Don't take shit. Be yourself. Be a guy. If you're a guy of course. But this blog isn't just for men. There are many sites like that. It's about being a certain kind of man. One who, at 22, is discovering himself and preparing to express his divinity. It's about having the skills to really make a strong difference in the world. And developing them.

And too, It's about funny ass stuff. Days will have it. This day happens not to have too much of it...a little more lax, etc.

Questions for that ass: Will you float above the masses? Will you flounder, wading in the overcrowd semi-puddle close to shore? Will you build a sick-ass yacht in the middle of the ocean and kick it for a while, until you get ready come hit shore? It's on you in 2008. And that's the good thing about it. It's on you. But you can't be wussyland anymore.

At least that's what goes through my head daily. Like I'm trying to grasp at something solid, still sloshing my hands through the liquid. It's a tricky divide, because I know I haven't had a day of hard work in a long time. I'm fairly detached from any type of labor like that. It simply doesn't appeal to me. Perhaps that's my problem.

Maybe I'm scared to take a good ass whipping. Maybe the world is stronger than I. Nah. I'd like to think I'm a powerdreamer, aiming mindlessly from this to that, pulling out all sorts of little-used tools. And I don't think I've found myself that awesome space I'm needing to find in 2008. You've got to carve a niche. So I'll tell you about my niche.

I have a niche in creative communication. I like to communicate those hard-to-pinpoint ideas, in animated form, music, whatever. I'd like to make a living from it. A compilation of practically flavoured art, stuff you can use and digest.

But this is post one. Let me get my feet wet...

Have a good one.
