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…
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…
Absolute Zero Return To the starting point: Blog #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. – 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: 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.
11, 27—11, 29, 2-2015 *(Update page will change to reflect site changes)* -Not alot of work will be done because many people are resting through the holidays and meeting with family. I have taken a day off two days off(mostly to regroup myself). New changes are going to be made because well alot of work is not getting done. I will try to explain in the Rj Blog series if I can get to it or I will turn it into an audio series(easier). I have not been able to do the core things because I have been spending all my time working, meeting and doing literally everything you can imagine to get the work out(and its still not done properly). Things are a bit a head now but I will be most likely transitioning away from music soon. This will be left to Absolute Zero, as was the original intention. I will still be doing promotions etc for artist. I feel that Absolute Zero writing from all the work together and the new structuring methods, etc I have shown him to help him write better will pay off. I will be returning back to writing stories, site management, etc. Read More…

She was confused and got into an altercation of her own creation with a guy in a car(which she jumped out of). Long story, I stayed and helped her get to her sisters house, this however caused me to be soaked in the rain with my dog as well. I was in the rain for many hours in late in the morning(1-3:40 AM). I normally do work in the night for the site, however this threw off my time alot. I was not feeling the best in the morning. I will try to do a quick write up about this or instead do a quick Rj audio log series(hard to write, because so much on the plate) 11, 12-11,- 15, 2015 will not be able posting much on the site.

Hey everyone, here is an update. I’m going to start with the bad news. My computer got fried.My motherboard and hard drive failed.This has made it hard to keep up with all the content I want to make, but I am still trying. The Good news is off the momentum of the ILoveMakonnen show DME got an opportunity to open for Ying Yang Twins Saturday October 3rd at Side Bar. It’s especially dope because, I feel like Black Tarzan has always been an outspoken fan of the sounds that came out of Atlanta in the early 2000. I think you can see this influence in his most recent EMD releases. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like I’m going to be able to make it to this show, but I’ll definitely keep everyone up to date on this.
Hello Everyone, I’m Absolute Zero, and I’m making my first of these updates. I just got back to Miami From Tallahassee, Fl so its been a bit rough of an adjustment.

Look at the previous installments before you start reading this one. Performance preparation blog(s): Absolute Zero So, today was a day of reflection. I have been super busy and its good to take a moment to just pause and take you life in(Think its the face that the big show is so close). Sometimes you need to make sure your doing, is what you want. This will give you the ability to, if your heading off course re-focus on where to go from here. I had a long talk with RJ from Youauthorus, and he was helping me towards understanding myself. We talk alot and he says alot of things and today I think I started to understand them better. You know if you go over your actions and really think about them. We all do a lot of foolish things. I made the decision to spend my time more efficiently and actually accomplish the things(having a friend that stays up days and nights without rest and Read More…
performance Preparation #14 : Absolute Zero September 14th – September 14, 2015 -Blog 14 – Here is the next installment of my daily blog, leading up the ILoveMakonnen show on the 17th. Look at the previous installments before you start reading this one. Performance preparation blog(s): Absolute Zero Today was mostly an errand day. I had to help one of the people I stay with get to work; she crashed her car the day I got here. Luckily she had scheduled her vacation for this week, so not having a vehicle didn’t hurt her as much. Unfortunately they did plan to spend the week away from home, so the money that they had budgeted towards travel expenses is now going to vehicle repair . So there was that, I cleaned up the area I was staying in a bit. Its always good to be a modest house guest. The hommies were letting me crash on the couch for free, the least I could do was have the place looking nice. I also did some laundry and bought food, the normal human stuff. -(https://instagram.com/p/7osC58QOK7/) -(https://instagram.com/p/7ou1CUQOOx/) That pretty much was the day, plus or minus a few games Read More…

performance Preparation #11 : Absolute Zero September 11th – September 11, 2015 Blog 11 Here is the next installment of my daily blog, leading up the ILoveMakonnen show on the 17th. Look at the previous installments before you start reading this one. Performance preparation blog(s): Absolute Zero It was the day after the show with Cakes The Killa and I was tired as hell. I danced a ton in my set. Cakes encouraged me to dance on stage during Obey City‘s set and I danced with a bunch of girls in the crowd during Cake‘s performance. As you might imagine this left me lethargic as hell the next day( today). That being said there was work to be done, and I had a queue of Personal Preparations to write and sort(Sorry RJ). Sometimes I feel the grind(RJ literally sending me messages any and every way he can to get the work done), but I know it will be worth it when I get on stage for the show next Thursday. Its officially less than a week till the show. Its crunch time for getting ready and promotion. So I spent a few hours putting up street flyers(see picture above). Block Read More…
