I'm going to be gone for a bit, be back in a few weeks.
Should have a new layout upon my return, something I've been working on for a while but never got a chance to implement soooo look forward to that.
I'll leave you with this before I go. Added some vocals to that "T-Pain" beat that I made and posted earlier. I have waaaay too much fun with all these programs, hahaha...
Why May you may ask? I'll tell you why, you skeptical bastard.

I could go on and crush you some more but I've proven my point already.
So Rene & Fillip can draw and design some sick stuff, I on the other hand am pretty awful. I asked them what I could do to improve my skillz and they just told me to keep drawing, just practice. Of course I replied with something like, "That's it?". I've been taking their advice and have been drawing in my "Mind Dump" notebook. Without further ado, enjoy my cracked out creations.
I know you are getting a kick out of the last one. That's MegaManif he was an alcoholic and hadn't slept for about a month. Although, he is a robot so I doubt he sleeps in the first place, SMH.
With MMA being the big thing right now, I've decided to start training as well. This is where I go to train. How To Beat Up Anything, the name of the site speaks for itself.
As you should all know by now, I'm a bit of fool. Which leads to my
Blame It (Troos Remix).
Here are the lyrics:
Blame it on the goose? Well ain't that the truth... Take another shot, better make that a deuce... Your body feeling loose, cuz of the liquid masseuse... Now mix it all up with that cranberry juice...
Now we done with that so pass me the Jacks... Mix it with some coke, sit back and relax.... Check my swag, its set to the max... Just look at all the ladies in here it attracts...
I'm reppin' my crew, by the name Troos... We're young, up and coming and have plenty to prove... We make our moves and pay our dues... So I just need to know which one of us you choose...
Now Don't be shy cuz you got me... The number one player, yes the MVP... You're committed to your man, who you think you should call... But then you suck my dick and I say blame the alcohol...
It just popped into my head last night when I was in bed. The beat from the song was in my head and then the words just came together, I was too lazy to get out of bed so I just wrote myself an email on my phone and sent it to myself. Crazy...
"If you know the results you want to create in your life and you do nothing to go about obtaining them, you are weak. There is no way of pussyfooting around that truth. To have strength of character you must always be moving towards your optimal way of life."
I have FL Studio 8 and I play around with beats quite a bit, here are two that I have been playing around with. The first one is a bit of a T-Pain inspired beat, something you can snap to. The second has an island feel to it. Have a listen.
Snap to this:
Get crunk with this:
Chill on a beach with this:
EDIT: Just realized that the island beat has a Super Mario Bros. 3 feel to it.
4/11/2009I realize that I haven't been all that helpful in my latest posts so I'm going to try and get back to basics here. Just going to talk quickly about failure & forgiveness, two things that you will most likely have to deal with when you start changing your life -- I know I did.
Let's start with failure real quick. Fundamentally, you will have no success without first dealing with some failure. Embrace it, because it is due to that failure that you are able to correct your faults and in the end become successful or at least better than you previously were. I have had to deal with a few failures along my way, especially when I first decided to start changing my life. There are just so many unknowns and obstacles that you have to deal with, that it is inevitable that you will fail some time or another. It happens, who cares, don't be afraid of it. Just fucking deal with it, it's good for you!
There are tons and tons of articles out there that echo the same sentiment but here is just one that you can take a look at: Why Failure is Good for You.
Next up we have forgiveness. This one may be a bit more personal to me but, I feel that most people that want to make big changes in their life have to go through this. It may be a family member, a friend, an ex , whoever the person, whatever the reason. Walking around with resentment, anger and a grudge does nothing but weigh you down and rot in your mind. Personally, I don't have space in my mind to carry that sort of garbage. So forgive or ask for forgiveness, you will feel a lot better. I can give a load of personal experiences but I want to keep this post a bit short, so here's an article titled: What Are The Benefits Of Forgiveness. This quote is one that I completely agree with, no one should ever be able to get into your mind, it is your sacred place.
Choose to be in control rather than a victim. By allowing another person to have a hold on your mind and emotions, you’re choosing the victim role. Successful people learn from conflict, let go, and move on.
One more thing on forgiveness, just because I said I'm forgiving doesn't mean I let others take advantage of that. I'll forgive somebody but that doesn't mean I'm soft, it just means that I'd rather not walk around carrying that negativity, wasting my thoughts, and energy on something like that. Shit happend, it's over and done with, it's in the past, now move on. How can you become a better person if you can't let go of the demons from the past, ya dig?
So turns out my few weeks turned into more than a month. Crazy. Just a few things to inform you of.
