7 Signs You Might Be Creative

7 Signs You Might Actually Be Creative

I’ve come into contact with many people who I believe have a lot of potential when it comes to being creative, yet they all like to argue with me that they’re not. Being a creative soul myself, as most other creatives may be able to understand, it’s easy to tell in others. There are certain [...]

The 12 Key Challenge

I’ve decided that my song writing skills are a little rusty and in need of a swift kick in the ass. As much as I “know” a huge array of techniques and theories (not to mention my ever expanding library of music books and magazines), I don’t quite utilize a lot of what I know. [...]

Dont Chase The Radio

Don’t Chase The Radio

Lupe Fiasco has definitely become one of my all-time favorite, yet still under-rated, MC’s since I stumbled onto him a few years back through mixtapes and cameos. I remember reading an article on his mentoring by Jay-Z, who also executive produces his albums, in which he noted that the biggest thing he takes from his [...]

Vader Told Me To Use The Darkside

Don’t we just love those spontaneous fits of rage? It feels good doesn’t it? All that pent-up aggression. Sure makes sex a little more interesting.
Remember when we were kids and our parents would always correct the little things we did. Like putting worms in the neighbor’s kids’ pillow case. That was fun. Then you’d be [...]

Anything can be used for inspiration. Goofing off yields mighty fine results in creativity.

Unstifling (Creatively Distracted)

Early yesterday evening, after an unfortunate battle with cookie dough and a microwave, I got inspired to write a new song because it had been a while since I had. Debating on what kind of song to make, well that was easy. I was going to go back to my roots in R&B. And not [...]

Angry Monkey - Episode 1: The Twitter Episode

Yay, so here it is, the first episode of my talk/sketch comedy show. Let’s just call this my prototype because I’m still playing with it. Didn’t realize how long it would take to come up with topics, shoot, edit, create music soundtrack, trick some people to be in it, etc. I hope you guys enjoy.
Directed, [...]

The 3 E’s of Empire Development

I want an empire.
That doesn’t sound like a Napoleon Complex at all. Nope.
I don’t mean pilfering people or pillaging properties (whew, say that five times fast). I mean empire as it pertains to achievement. Let me create some value before I get lynched by a mob of happy flower children.
Ever since I were a wee [...]

Pick up the microphone

Grand Opening, or Soft Launch… Whatever

Six months ago I established this domain for my own personal amusement. The original plan was to showcase the creative work I do to friends, family, and people who would pay me money for doing work for them. So yea, basically my online freelance portfolio.
I had no intention of even starting a blog because at [...]

Introduction To Absolute DoucheDom: DoucheBag Primer

I have a journal on one of my other sites titled “Confessions of a Former DoucheBag.” Within this topic I ranted off about the many experiences and explorative activities I was involved in while trying to decipher the code of what makes a guy attract girls like caramel corn for diabetics.
The attention to detail, the [...]
