Me and RJ Knight have been working on videos for about easily over a year now. We have made a lot of videos in the time. Sadly, despite the length of time that we have been working on these videos, only around 20 have been released. This is with huge gaps been the releases and lower quality content. It’s been because of how difficult I’ve made it to develop and RJ has certain standards on effort. I would like to start off by stating that it is entirely my fault that these videos have not been released. The reality is that we have at least three hundred videos started that have not been released and are far from being put out. There are quite a few reasons why this is the case but I’m going to focus here on one. This one reason is probably the most inexcusable, is that 99% of this is my fault.
The other day, (actually it was after Props and Bonds Saturday Mic Live) I was in Catalyst Hip-hop. I normally get shy and have some level of anxiety talking to people in these kind of settings. I know it seems counter intuitive that I can perform music in front of hundreds or thousands of people. But casual to intimate conversations make me massively uncomfortable except for all but a few people. My friend RJ was trying to take a break in the corner of the room (sleep or nap). I really should have been just talking to people, but I just stood around in his area.
Absolute Zero Return To the starting point: Blog #5 part 2 – I’m finally at the starting point. I finally started to get good enough at writing to move forward with the website. So today I met with RJ to get the blog back up. If your reading this than you know the meeting was a success. With the style of hip-hop Immortal Technique employs it makes having such an intimate crowd play off well. The venue fits about 500 people and once we got parked and got settled it was almost full. The bar had a nice setup. The bar was on one half of the building and the other half was a dedicated area for a stage. The stage looked really nice, I would love a chance to rock it up there.

So today I met with RJ to get the blog back up. If your reading this than you know the meeting was a success. So today was a big day for me. Immortal Technique was performing in Miami and I was looking forward to the concert. I had my tickets printed from the day before. I had pretty much everything ready to go and in place. I didn’t want to have any problems getting to the show, and I definitely wasn’t trying to be late. After helping my Aunt out a bit with some computer problems she was having, I started getting dressed for the Immortal Technique concert. It was already five o’clock and the show started at 8. I needed to start getting moving. The show was a considerable drive away, especially considering I had to pick up RJ first. While literally about to leave the door, my mom tells me that her car broke down in front of the house. She wanted a jump start, Read More…
If you keep reading you will probably be surprised I am happy that so many people are enjoying themselves on the 25th of December. Many times, I have people ask me about what I am doing on that day. The assumption is that I celebrate Christmas. Which I do not, I actually do not celebrate many holidays. I do not get mad by people’s assumptions or try to teach them not to celebrate the holidays that they like or cherish for reasons that usually have nothing to do with the historical and or original concepts of the holidays. Christmas has so many meanings now its become a convoluted mess. Its much like the principal state of ‘the state‘ which pushes these ideas on all of man. Let’s first look at the base ideas of Christmas. Its a time where everyone gets together and starts to treat their fellow man like actual human beings for a short period of the year. Now, I guess its better to have a moment where you treat someone like an actual human being than to not have one at all. Still, I think the flaw is now obvious with that exact line of reasoning.

Absolute Zero Return To the starting point: Blog #4 I’m finally at the starting point. I finally started to get good enough at writing to move forward with the website. So today I met with RJ to get the blog back up. If your reading this than you know the meeting was a success. Man my sleep schedule is messed up. I woke up today at 4 AM to write more blog entries. I didn’t even plan to go to sleep. I feel asleep writing at my desk. I woke up at like midnight and slid into my bed. I might be borderline narcoleptic. I can fall asleep almost anywhere. At least I’ve never fallen asleep while driving.
Absolute Zero Return To the starting point: Blog #3 – I’m finally at the starting point. I finally started to get good enough at writing to move forward with the website. So today I met with RJ to get the blog back up. If your reading this than you know the meeting was a success. I started the day helping out my grandmother. She is one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met. She was born and raised in Jamaica and has a lot of strong principles about her. She works hard and is never the type to hold her tongue, even when it might get her in trouble. I don’t know if she does this consciously (like fuck the consequences) or unconsciously but she is a character. She needed some help on the computer and I helped her do what she needed to do. After I was finished I had to leave immediately. I got a job offer and I needed to hand in my social security card. unfortunately I misplaced it and I spent literally all of yesterday day searching for it. I made it out to the Guitar Center and after a while was Read More…
Bboying For The Passion I wish B-Boys got a bit more attention then they do at the moment. B-boys have taken the elements of gymnastics to an extremely high level. They often do these amazing dance moves without facilities or dedicated trainers. I know that the scene has been growing slowly, but people are missing out amazing entertainment.

Rj Ponders-Losing time correcting my dirty codes I am having quite the problem currently. I learned that the quick links that I have been using is actually very dirty. Its seriously slowing down the site, and finally it created errors. I thought it was possibly other things causing the slow downs. I’m so busy its hard to get to maintenance or expand the site. Literally dealing with Absolute Zero alone, maxs me out. I had to figure out what the problem was when I continue received scripting errors. Its getting closer to 4 AM, I have not slept at all. I wanted to finish creating the Robson series, and work more on the Absolute Zero Blog series “Return..”. Now instead I am fixing the dirty code, that I have created and compounded. Its so slow and long, to hand code everything just for the Youauthorus Quick update navigation page. I will later have to do this for alot of the links I have created in a dirty fashion. To help you avoid problems like this I will tell you why I had this problem. Instead of going to the page, copying the web address, then returning to the text Read More…

So today I met with RJ to get the blog back up. If your reading this than you know the meeting was a success. – Yesterday I met with RJ and worked on the blog. After I left him I expected to just go home and study for a job interview in the morning. Unfortunately when I got home I couldn’t find my social security card, the manager asked me to bring into the store. I knew this was going to be a problem, so I stayed up trying to find the card. I figured it was in my storage container. The storage place didn’t open till 6 AM. So I woke up early and made it as soon as they were opening. Unfortunately I still couldn’t find my social security card, even though I thoroughly searched both my house and the storage unit. From 6 AM to noon I was searching with out any success.
Absolute Zero Return To the starting point: Hypothetical Blog #1 Hypothetical Blog Day 11/29/15 Ok, the plan for the day is to wake up and study sound equipment. I have an interview later today at a music store. I really want to appear knowledgeable for the job. I feel like I have enough knowledge to do a good interview. I just want to make sure to give myself more confidence. When I’m confident in myself ; I know I perform much better in any situation. Hopefully this meeting won’t be too stressful. I was debating weather I should were dress or casual clothes. I actually am opting against dress clothes, because at these type of jobs every time I do an interview in dress attire, I never get the job. Maybe this shows that I’m trying too hard, I don’t know, but I should just trust the trend. Every time I dress casual I get the job, so casual it is. I know that if I get the job ; I’m still going to study more products. That’s the type of person I am, If I’m going to have a job I do want to try to give it my Read More…
Absolute Zero Return To the starting point: Blog #1 – I’m finally at the starting point. I finally started to get good enough at writing to move forward with the website. So today I met with RJ to get the blog back up. If your reading this than you know the meeting was a success. Unfortunately I was a Black Friday shopper. In fact I started early. On Thanksgiving evening I was in Best Buy with a crowd of people, trying to take advantage of sales. I couldn’t get everything I needed on Thanksgiving. So I had to go out again on Black Friday. I actually didn’t have a problem with the shoppers in the store. Everyone was pretty chill and the lines were long. That I expected, and was prepared for, I had more of a problem with the traffic. It felt like all of Miami was stuck in gridlock.
