A lot of the principles of team success in business also apply to success in a collaborative music environment. Such as a rock band. I’ve been in both and can safely say the “business” can mean “the business of whatever the heck you’re tryi

This I can affirm as well after years of personal study. Some are self-aware and humble, others, well, let them have their little reality distortion field. As long as it doesn’t seep into my “you know back in 1990 when I was alive and senti

I am an INTJ and ENTJ depending on the day of the test. This makes sense. I’m an only child who is very social as an adult. In fact my career is sort of a hybrid: As a proposal specialist, I had to master a large skill set of technology and

Line of cars to drop off at elementary school I pass by in North Texas: Silver, silver, white, black, tan, silver, black, white, white, grey, black, beige metallic… It’s totally true. That’s why my car is bright yellow. I’m not yet dead ins

Sounds a lot like in music when dealing with RIAA labels and their business model: “YES! That was a massive hit! Now do it again!” …and Sir-Mix-a-Lot has said routinely in interviews the more of the novel element but turned up wasn’t the be

For my blood pressure my Doctor told me to cut down on Sodium. Like you, water bores me, unless it’s basically 32.5 F and bottomless on demand. As in not happening. So I drank Gatorade or G2. He told me to look at the sodium level - holy mo

There is nothing that has made me at peace more than my little feral kitten that is now 17 and Senior but healthy and no pain sits on my chest cavity when I’m laying down, tucks her paws under her chest, then purrs away squinting. I can fee

For a more mainstream yet unapologetically artistic intro to Bukowski, check out “Factotum” starring Matt Dillon. It’s not perfect and still rather polished, but the tone and darkness and context of his life and writings basically both bein

I’ve been wondering for years if it might be possible to use a UAV with a pretty hefty sniffer to check out some areas and detect cannabis pollen. Then it would maneuver toward the origin based on wind data and if it hits it would photo and

Even then he had options only the 1% can do - move to a state to cut in line. Still didn’t work. I think he was just trying to hang in long enough to see his $200M yacht get finished and in the water. Oops.
