Barbells and Haiku
For one special day, I wrote haiku for new supporters of my Kickstarter project. Enjoy!
For one special day, I wrote haiku for new supporters of my Kickstarter project. Enjoy!
If you find yourself saying you need more time in your day, up your quotient of Choice #3 and see what happens.
Keep these points in mind as you move forward. And good luck!
How many parts of our lives do we mash together, trying to make things fit? How many times have we found ourselves in a job or a relationship, squirming and trying to change (we never really changed) in order to fit our role?
My new project is a book called "Be Better" and you can find it (and fund it!) on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.
(Some of you might know this because you've already supported it and got the campaign off to a roaring start! Thank you!)
Allow me to cut to the chase: the old ways of publishing aren't dead, but they're very different from what they used to be. There are fewer publishing houses, fewer bricks-and-mortar bookstores, etc. and the "advance and a book tour" days now belong to the Hillary Clintons and the Malcolm Gladwells of the world. That's not me. (Surprise!)

We all know cancer sucks. Jason Fine knows that better than most, because it's killing him. But he's going down swinging with kindness.
For the first time, I'm publishing a story by another writer on this blog because time is short and I think you should know Jason's story while he still draws breath on this Earth. Project Kindness is perhaps the way we all should live, and it's the way Jason has chosen to go out. Thank you, Jason. Even though I never met you in person, I will always remember you.
Big hugs,

We feel dark. Depressed. Down. Whatever you want to call it.
We're just barely ourselves, or we're the lowest energy form of ourselves. Dark thoughts, little action, waves slowly lapping the shore at low tide. The water ebbs and we can see the bones of our dreams, drying in the sun. We can seemingly no more rouse our spirits to reveille than we can use our fingers to pull the ocean to the dunes.
And we try to keep to ourselves, because who the heck wants to see the real and the ugly inside our heads?

I was chasing (or trying to chase) my riding partner up a dusty trail yesterday when it occurred to me, in the middle of mashing my pedals and sucking the warm morning wind, that I wasn't going to catch her. She had 25 yards on me, and I had 25 years on her. And then I realized that I didn't need to catch her anymore.

Define God?
He is the most intelligent and superior of us all. God means the self-aware energy which is present all the time at all the places.
What is spirituality to you?
Spirituality to me means everything as it is the foundation of humanity and philanthropy. According to me spirituality means doing good and being nice to everybody as much as possible.
What special bond/connection do you feel with God and your inner-self?
I share a very special bond with God which makes me feel that I belong to Him and He belongs to me.
How much do you believe in the magic and power of prayers?
If done with sincerity and whole heartedly all prayers get answered by the Almighty. You just need to ask with a pure heart and you get whatever you ask for.
Who do you credit for your ability to overcome the hurdles, if any?
The credit goes to my God.
What kind of books do you read? Especially to get connected to God and your spiritual side?
I keep reading spiritual books and especially various studies and biographies on different religions and Gods. I personally love reading Sai Baba's Sat Charitra by Dabholkar. With this once can conclude that I am a pure Sai Baba devotee.
What do you do on a daily basis to remain connected to God and your inner-self?
I pray to God and feel close to Him all the time.
Astrology, numerology and tarot reading? Have you taken help of such occult sciences?
I definitely believe in these occult sciences though I have not taken any help. I believe that these practices are based on their own sciences.
Do you fast?
I neither fast nor overeat.
Following rituals?
I just follow my heart and do whatever it says. It's purely an internal wish to follow the rituals and I don't force myself in doing so.
What is your comfort zone?
My comfort zone is sitting at the window of my house and gazing at the sky or a tree outside my window.
What keeps you going?
The joy of life and living it keeps me going.
Any wish/votive that you would want God to fulfill?

On Thursday, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) announced a plan to install new TransLink-only fare gates and new ticket vending machines (TVMs) in its nine Muni Metro stations. The $29 million project will make it more convenient for transit customers to pay for and ride Muni and is funded in part by $11 million in federal stimulus funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
"This project is a great example of the use of federal stimulus dollars to create jobs and to bring state-of-the-art technology to San Francisco," said Mayor Gavin Newsom. "We need to re-invest in the infrastructure of the Muni system to fulfill the promise of our Transit First city."
The fare collection project includes the installation of 98 fare gate aisles, including extra-wide lanes that are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Up to 40 new TVMs will be placed in Muni Metro stations and possibly other locations outside the subway. The fare gates and TVMs will eliminate cash transactions at the fare gates and help customers access the subway more quickly. Also included in the project are new station agent fare gate control terminals, test equipment, and improved financial and ridership reporting tools.
The SFMTA is working with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), which manages the TransLink program, to deliver the fare collection project by the end of 2010. Cubic Transportation Systems Inc. assumed responsibility for the TransLink contract with MTC earlier this summer and will install the new Muni fare collection equipment.
TransLink is an electronic fare payment system that allows transit customers to use one convenient, secure card to ride the many public transportation systems throughout the Bay Area. A trial period of TransLink use on Muni (except cable cars) began last December, and there are now more than 6,000 daily transactions on the system.

FORT WAYNE – The last time you saw him was Feb. 19 on ESPN, the fall-away 3-pointer rising and splashing down and then the young man who shot it pelting toward the far end of the floor, pursued by his teammates and half the student section.
Saint Francis forward Scott Kohne was all over SportsCenter that night, his game-winning rainmaker against Huntington turning up as the No. 1 play of the day.
And now?
Well, now the play of the day is simple: Keep the mojo going.
Huntington is a great team, and anytime you can get a win in the Crossroads especially, it does create confidence, said Kohne, as the Cougars prepared to take on Spring Arbor tonight in the first round of the Crossroads League tournament. So anytime we can get a win it's good, and a shot like that gives some energy.
Hopefully we can just keep riding that energy and momentum into the conference tournament.
The good news is that there is momentum right now for the 12th-ranked Cougars. The No. 2 seed in the tournament, they're 21-9 and have won their last four, and they haven't really been out of a game since Huntington got them by 11 points over a month ago. They lost three straight at the beginning of February – to now-No. 4 Indiana Wesleyan. No. 18 Bethel and Grace – by a combined seven points.
Even though we lost those games against Wesleyan and Bethel, I thought we played well, Saint Francis coach Chad LaCross said. I thought there was a little bit of a letdown (against Grace), but, you know, we really responded well. I think since then we've been playing really well.
Kohne agreed.
Earlier in the year we were playing some good basketball, but right now I think everybody kind of knows their role, and everybody is kind of doing their job, he said. We're playing really good basketball right now, and I think the momentum that we have right now we can keep riding into the tournament.
Not that Spring Arbor will be easy, even though it's the No. 8 seed at 11-19 and 6-12 in the conference. LaCross says the Cougars went back and forth with Spring Arbor at home Feb. 11 before finally winning 68-60. It was emblematic of the Crossroads League in general; five of its teams are ranked in the NAIA's top 29, so nothing comes easy.
Which is a good thing.
I think it's huge, LaCross said. You think about every game the past couple years we went out to the national tournament, I think every game was decided by single figures. Our guys have been in those situations and know how to handle those situations.
So I think it really prepares us.

Ricky Steamboat
Real Name
Richard Blood
Date of Birth
February 28, 1953
Place of Birth
There are reports floating around right now that the reason why AJ Lee was not chosen to be a cast member on Total Divas is because she is married to CM Punk. However, she has repeatedly stated in the past that she was not interested in doing a reality television show. She enjoys her privacy and prefers to focus on being a wrestler. Management recently added Alicia Fox and Paige to the series.
October 21, 2014
The expanding cast of Total Divas will include Alicia Fox next season. WWE has decided to include as many of their female performers as possible on the show, and Alicia was quite willing to sign up for the reality television show. For a lot of the girls, the hope is that the extra exposure will help them build up their name value for when they eventually leave the company and pursue other things.
October 20, 2014
The movie roles keep coming in for the Rock. The former WWE star revealed through social media that he will be starring in the big screen version of Baywatch. Reports are saying that the movie will not be based directly on the characters on the television show and will involve a lot more comedy. Minor roles are being written for David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson, should they decide to accept the parts.
October 3, 2014
Some very interesting news coming out of a wrestling convention in Charlotte last month. Jim Duggan revealed to fans in attendance that he and Roddy Piper were working on getting a reality television show for themselves. Quite a lofty goal for the WWE legends, as there probably is not a whole lot of network executives who are interested in such a show.
September 29, 2014
While the future of Impact Wrestling is in question because a deal with Spike TV cannot be reached, TNA is still continuing to churn forward. The company is filming a new television show called TNA Legends, and it is being hosted by Jeremy Borash, who is seemingly the most versatile person backstage. No word yet on where this show will be airing, but it will be on television somewhere.
September 14, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, many witnessed a brilliant publicity stunt that WWE launched when they invited Michael Sam, an openly gay football player who is trying to find an NFL team this season, to make an appearance on their television show next week. Stephanie McMahon has made another move to secure that deal by writing an open letter to the defensive end, calling him a hero.
September 2, 2014
There is a growing sense of optimism towards Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Wrestling. Some feel that he might have found a formula that can draw in a good amount of viewers. The belief is that GFW will showcase wrestling matches from around the world. Jarrett might even bring in international performers from time to time to showcase them on the television show that he is trying to put together.
August 11, 2014
It looks like WWE will be utilizing the relationship between Cameron and her boyfriend a bit more during the next season of Total Divas. The belief is that something drastic will happen, where the couple will either break up or do a wedding. The heel turn and split from Naomi Knight was designed to put more attention into her character on the reality television show next season.
July 28, 2014
The big brawl between Naomi Knight and Cameron that you witnessed on Monday Night Raw this week was indeed the big breakup that has been teased over the last couple of weeks by WWE. As many already know, this story was set up for the sake of Total Divas, as producers wanted more dramatic stories for the reality television show. Since it is involved with another network, the belief is that WWE will get behind the story and put some emphasis on it.
July 9, 2014
A couple of days ago, it was revealed that Dixie Carter and company would do a big announcement in London. A lot of speculations floated around, including the possibility of doing an overseas tournament there. However, signs are pointing to a new television show instead for TNA. It would be designed specifically for their fans in England and the surrounding areas.
July 3, 2014
Despite creating a buzz online with fans, Cody Rhodes had his Stardust character omitted by WWE during the company's broadcast of Monday Night Raw on Hulu. Every week, management decides which segments are important enough to include on that version of their television show. Rumors have it that WWE does not deem Rhodes and Goldust as a high priority at the moment.
June 17, 2014
During a recent interview, Vince Russo revealed that he does not watch Monday Night Raw. The former WWE writer stated that it was not because of any backstage heat that he has towards the company. Russo simply stated that it is difficult for him to sit through three hours straight of a television show. He even stated that it was difficult for him to watch his favorite baseball team for three straight hours.
June 3, 2014
Despite doing a good job of generating interest from fans the last time around, Tough Enough was put on the shelves. Now, it appears that the reality television show is being brought back as part of the WWE Network. No word yet on the involvement of Steve Austin, but since he did such a great job last time, management should be quite interested in bringing him back again as the host.
May 1, 2014
In a sign that he still holds some value to the network, Eric Young has been given another television show. This time, it is called No Limits, and it is supposed to be a continuation of his Off the Hook: Extreme Catches show. Young will be going around the country, and trying out various extreme activities, such as learning how to be a lumberjack in the Smoky Mountains.
April 28, 2014
While he did make a brief appearance during Wrestlemania 30 week, Shawn Michaels is expected to be gone from WWE for the time being. The former world heavyweight champion will be focusing his energy on his television show and various promotional appearances for the time being. There are talks that he could be brought back for Summerslam 2014 to help with promotions, but that is not confirmed yet.
April 24, 2014
In a rather nice win for his new Global Force Wrestling, Jeff Jarrett has revealed that he has signed a production deal with 25/7 Productions and Dave Broome, the man that created the popular Biggest Loser reality television show on NBC. Together, they are currently shopping a wrestling show around to the networks and hope to land a television spot soon.
April 15, 2014
The big story line coming out of Total Divas this week is John Cena purchasing a house for Nikki Bella. The couple was the centerpiece of the reality television show earlier when Cena refused to marry Nikki, prompting wrestling fans to wonder if they were going to break up. Since Brie Bella got married to Daniel Bryan, Cena has to figure out ways to keep Nikki happy.
April 13, 2014
A picture of WWE stars on the set of the Soup, a popular television show that makes fun of current events. Titus ONeil, JBL, Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler, Dolph Ziggler, Nikki Bella and Brie Bella were recently guests on an episode.
April 12, 2014
As a few of you already know, Chuck Palumbo now has his own television show, where the former WCW star talks visits car lovers across the country. Scott Armstrong, his good friend, posted this special message on Twitter to congratulate Palumbo on his new business venture.
March 24, 2014
A video segment from Total Divas, where Nikki Bella losers her tooth during a match against Tamina Snuka. The situation was a complete accident, but WWE opted to take advantage of the situation and add a little bit of dramatic flair to their reality television show.
March 24, 2014
Big Time Wrestling has come up with a big time promotional idea. The company has signed on Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat to make appearances together at two shows in November. The first event will be in Springfield, Massachusetts, while the other will be in Fishkill, New York. This will be the first time in a very long time that the two of them have made an appearance together.
September 18, 2014
Some further details have been revealed about Ricky Steamboat and his status within WWE. His full time position as brand ambassador was eliminated when the company needed to find ways to save money. Steamboat is no longer a full time employee for WWE. However, the company has retained his services via a Legends contract that pays him $10,000 a year.
August 7, 2014
"No, I've been there and done it against Chris Jericho and I proved a point, so there's no sense in jeopardizing that. Everyone who saw me work that match said I did good for my age. They have a good memory of that and I'd like to leave it at that. I do know some of the older guys who have come back and tried to work in the ring and it's just heartbreaking to see. I don't want to risk all that because the fans still have a pretty good image of me and my last time in the ring." - Ricky Steamboat talking about a potential return to WWE
August 5, 2014
Something must have changed drastically backstage in WWE, as Ricky Steamboat appears to be back with the company. The legendary performer had to inform promoters that he would no longer be able to make appearances unless they contacted WWE to get approval. Steamboat booked himself on a lot of independent wrestling shows after being released from the company.
July 21, 2014
With the company losing millions of dollars this year, budget cuts are looming over everyone in WWE. The latest string of them has made a casualty out of a beloved hall of fame performer. Ricky Steamboat has quietly been released from his contract. The former Intercontinental Champion had been working in the talent relations department under Triple H over the past year.
July 19, 2014
With WWE needing all of their stars for the tour of Europe, the company decided to send a retired performer to Malaysia on a promotional tour instead. Ricky Steamboat, one of the most beloved stars in the history of WWE, flew overseas and promoted the October tour, which will feature two shows. The company has not been back in the country since 2002.
May 24, 2014
During a sit down interviews with fans in England, Sting stated that he did not consider himself to be a top tier performer. The former world heavyweight champion placed himself in the second group. The long time WCW star listed Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle as guys that were much better in the ring that he ever was.
March 17, 2014
Ricky Steamboat defeated Randy Savage in a classic match at Wrestlemania 3 to capture the WWE Intercontinental Championship, but that reign did not last too long. Just two months later, he has now lost the title to the Honky Tonk Man at a television taping in Buffalo, New York. Steamboat is taking some time off.
June 2, 1987
In a very short match at Wrestlemania 2, Ricky Steamboat defeated Hercules Hernandez.
April 7, 1986
The third match at Wrestlemania 1 was a rather quick one, as Ricky Steamboat defeated Matt Borne in less than five minutes. Both men still managed to get a little offense in before Steamboat was able to scale the ropes and hit his patented flying cross body finishing move to seal the pin fall victory for the Dragon.

I'm always curious about the former American League Rookie of the Year, AL MVP, World Series champ, comeback player of the year, Silver Slugger winner, hitter of 462 career home runs, scam artist and baseball's self-proclaimed ''Godfather of steroids.'' So I opened the e-mail:
''Hello, I noticed that you wrote a piece today about Bonds and Canseco,'' it read. ''I represent Canseco and wanted to reach out to you to see if you wanted to interview him about Bonds, steroids, boxing fiasco, etc.
Ryan Sacks
VP Business Development
9454 Wilshire Blvd Ste# 525
Beverly Hills, CA 90212''
Shoot, yes! Fun!
How could I not want to talk to Canseco, the man who wrote the tell-all book, Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big''?
Maybe the 6-4, broad-shouldered guy I sat two rows behind when he testified about doping in baseball on Capitol Hill six years ago was way-washed up. Maybe fighting 5-4 former child actor Danny Bonaduce (a draw) and getting knocked senseless in the first round by former NFL player Vai Sikaheima (all of 5-9) kind of points that out.
But Canseco had done just enough in his baseball career, been right about just enough dopers, that . . . what the heck?
When I had used his name the other day in a column, it was only to ridicule him for sending his twin brother Ozzie to fight as him against some palooka at a Florida nightclub.
There was a business phone number underneath, and as I dialed, I recalled that Canseco claimed to have once run a 3.9 in the 40, to have shot up about half the players in the league, to have been set up by MLB when he failed a 2003 drug test, to have been driving carelessly when he rammed his ex-wife's car.
No one answered, so I left a voicemail on the business line. Then I sent a text to manager Sacks' cell phone: ''Ryan — can Jose do an interview Wed afternoon for my column? Please let me know ASAP. Thanks much — Rick Telander, Sports Columnist, Chicago Sun-Times.''
Sacks texted a response: ''Call him at [an L.A.-based number] — this is a number he can be reached at that raises money for charity. He will be available when u need him.''
RT: Will he be there at 5 Eastern, 4 Central? If so, great. I'll call from home office. —Rick
RS: I don't think you understand — talking to Canseco charges a rate per minute that goes to charity. I would urge you to call ahead of time to set up an account. Once set up you get connected to his cell phone directly. This is how myfanline works.
RT: How much per minute?
RT: 50 dollars or cents?
RS: Dollars.
RT: (Note: Occasionally I've wanted to use the ROTFL symbol — ''Roll On The Floor Laughing'' —on my phone, but it just seemed too overstated and junior high. Not this time.)
RS: It's for charity. It's a story in itself.
RT: What charity?
RS: The same one for celebrity apprentice. BAT baseball assistance team.
RT: What's Jose's cut? I think it's fair to know.
RS: You're a great reporter. The maximum he can take is 10 percent of total revenue as per myfanline guidelines.
RT: OK, I don't know how great a reporter I am, but I personally might be willing to spend, hmm, well, something on a charity, if Jose speaks fast.
RT: (Note to readers: I quickly sent another text) Kind of like extortion, though.
RS: If spending money on a charity to get an exclusive that will help your column is extortion . . . I dunno about that. But let me know if you want him at 2.
(Who said anything about 2?)
RT: This is not how we do business, but is he there at 3 Central?
RS: Yes.
(Note: some minutes went by as I thought about this)
RT: OK. Get his mouth motorized.
RS: I will tell him you don't have much time.
I decided I would pay for this project myself. It's not something a newspaper front office should do. You start paying for news, you're asking for trouble. But a little charity? I looked up BAT. Seemed legit.
So, three minutes, I decided. No more. In, out. It was $150 total — $135 to charity, fifteen bucks to Jose. Enough money for him to buy hair gel.
I wrote down my questions. Six. Thirty seconds or less for each answer. I waited until 3, dialed the number, gave my credit card, got a password.
Away we go.
Coming Friday: Canseco answers. The clock is on.

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) was signed into law on May 21, 2008. The law's purpose is to ensure that genetic information is not used to discriminate against individuals in matters of employment or for insurance underwriting purposes. GINA Title I amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Public Health Service Act, the Internal Revenue Code, and the Social Security Act to prohibit discrimination in health coverage based on genetic information, and to expand upon the protections established under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). HIPAA already contains robust non–discrimination rules that prohibit a group health plan or group health insurance issuer from imposing preexisting condition exclusions based on genetic information. But GINA goes further. GINA prohibits group health plans, health insurance issuers in the group and individual markets, and issuers of Medicare supplemental policies from discriminating based on genetic information, and from collecting such information.

Federal authorities have fast-tracked a crackdown on bikies with the launch of a six-man Victorian strike team to bolster national disruption efforts.
Victoria's newest anti-bikie team comes under a $64 million national anti-gangs squad, coordinated from a centre within the Australian Crime Commission.
The squad has been created to chase illegal bikie activity across state borders, and marks the first major national move against outlaw motorcycle gangs.
The Victorian strike team was made up of five Australian Federal Police officers and one Australian Tax Office officer, federal Justice Minister Michael Keenan announced on Wednesday.
Other local strike forces include one announced in Queensland earlier this month targeting bikie crime on the Gold Coast and another to follow in New South Wales.
The teams were not due to be rolled out until January but their launches have been brought forward, with the Victorian team going operational from Wednesday, Mr Keenan said.
The national team would work alongside the Victoria's existing anti-bikie taskforces, but with access to extra surveillance services and technical support, Victoria Police chief commissioner Ken Lay said.
"We're really looking forward to getting those resources and working in a collaborative arrangement with our commonwealth partners to really make this a hostile environment for these serious criminal gangs," he said.
Wednesday's announcement follows wide sweeping raids in Victoria and the introduction of anti-fortification laws, the first notices under which were served this week against a Hells Angels clubhouse.
Mr Keenan said federal authorities are also focusing on preventing gang members coming into Australia with a joint Customs and Border Protection, AFP and ACC operation, codenamed Hades.
"Organised criminal gangs are often national gangs with significant international criminal links, we know that from recent commentary on gangs that are patching over" he said.
"We want to make sure that they're stopped at the border before they can come and do Australia any harm."
When asked if he supported national anti-association laws, Mr Keenan said there would be more announcements to follow.
He said the Commonwealth was looking at "all avenue to make sure that we're doing whatever we can to tackle these gangs".
Dr Napthine welcomed the high level cooperation between state and federal forces.
"There is simply no place in Victoria for criminal outlaw motorcycle gangs," he said."These gangs are involved in drugs, they're involved in violence, they're involved in extortion, they're involved in standover tactics.
"They put the community at risk."

Black Rock (2010)

Show synopsis It's a sign of Joe Bonamassa's increasing profile that he got blues legend B.B. King to guest on his eighth album Black Rock -- and if what you're doing is good enough to rope B.B. in, there's not much reason to change, so Bonamassa doesn't tinker with his formula here, retaining a little of the folky undertow of The Ballad of John Henry, but with its remaining roots in a thick, heavy blues-rock more redolent of '60s London than the '50s Delta. Of course, Bonamassa has never shied away from his love of Brit-blues, even underscoring it with a good streamlined cover of Jeff Beck's "Spanish Boots," but he retains a healthy respect for all manners of classic blues, kicking out a Chicago groove on a cover of Otis Rush's "Three Times a Fool," reaching back to Blind Boy Fuller for "Baby You Gotta Change Your Mind" and ably replicating B.B.'s latter-day soul groove on a horn-smacked cover of Willie Nelson's "Night Life." Bonamassa has an ear for non-blues writers too, cherrypicking Leonard Cohen's "Bird on a Wire" and John Hiatt's "I Know a Place," tying it all together with beefy lead lines, but the provocative moments on Black Rock are all self-penned, whether it's the clattering stomp "When the Fire Hits the Sea," the British folk lilt of "Quarryman's Lament" and "Athens to Athens," or the droning dramatic epic "Blue and Evil." These are easily the most intriguing songs here, suggesting Bonamassa realizes that the familiar covers allow him to stretch out elsewhere, and while it might be interesting hearing him follow this path for a full album, what's here on Black Rock is both satisfying and admirably, if reservedly, ambitious. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

Featured Musician: Robby Myers AKA Flow Zen
Robby Myers is a hip-hop, electronic, and pop music producer from San Francisco, CA. He started his music career learning to play the piano moving on to electric bass in a three-person rock band and DJing at clubs and private events. For the last 4 years he has been producing, writing and recording his own original hip-hop/pop music with a friend and much more recently he got involved in Electronic music production.
TH: What inspires your music?
Robby: What inspires my music is the desire to open up the doors, bring together, and help build an acceptance for all the different musical genres, artists, languages, and styles from across the globe. Genres are already starting to merge, but as an example, how cool would it be to have a band from Germany work with a DJ from Brazil, a Singer from the United States, a rapper from Japan, and a track maker from Korea? Or any other possible combination for that matter? That's what inspires me. Unification of people through music.
I'm all about spreading music across the globe. That's one major thing that drew me to electronic music. Unlike almost all other forms of music on earth, there is a huge sense of community, respect, and openness to new artists, ideas, and sounds. And, of course, there is not necessarily a language barrier. But most importantly, within electronic music, I get the vibe that both artists and fans are just looking for good music.
TH: Does anyone in your family create or play music?
Robby: My mom used to play a little bit of piano, but what really got me interested in music was growing up listening to my older sister playing piano all the time. She was honestly good at it, so being the younger sibling, I wanted to learn how to play like her. Also, when I was in 6th grade I started playing electric bass in a 3-person rock band with friends from my school, and that's when I found out that my uncles on my mom's side (especially one in particular) were really into playing guitar and pro recording. We were going to collaborate on some cover songs, but unfortunately we never found the time.
TH: What is the most played song on your iPod/music player?
Robby: Deadmau5 – Brazil (2nd Edit)
Deadmau5 is awesome. Not just his music, but he has this DGAF attitude, which really makes him appear real and human, unlike many artists. This is really great for his tweets and social media sites because he's not afraid of giving the finger to his management and posting videos or comments that he finds funny, even if they may be offensive to some people. I'm not endorsing being offensive, but just the fact that he's not afraid to post what he feels like posting is pretty cool, since most big time artists would be super scared to tarnish or ruin their image.
And by the way, if you're a Deadmau5 fan and you like that song, you should check out this mashup by Kaskade, it's pretty epic
TH: What is one song you secretly like that your friends would be surprised to know?
Robby: Kid Sister – 54321
For the past 6 months I've been focusing mainly on Electro-House and Dubstep production, but before that, I had never attempted a straight up electronic music track. In fact, I began my producer/artist career in Hip-Hop. [lquote]Women are often objectified in Hip-Hop, but female rappers almost embrace this or even flip it around and objectify men. Even as a guy I've always found that really inspiring and motivating.[/lquote] Ever since the hip-hop golden years in the early to mid 1990's, I've always had a thing for female rappers. In their music they take the female stereotype (in hip-hop culture, but also in general) and flip it on its head.
I really like that old school Hip-Hop sound that is almost breakbeat-like, and Kid Sister brings all these things together perfectly. First off, she's a woman doing Hip-Hop, duh. But also, her beats are retro, but modern and electronic at the same time, and her flow is so on point it's ridiculous. She has this old school rhythm to her lyrics that you just never hear anymore. I think it's sad that there aren't more female rappers in the mainstream, especially since I'm not a fan of Nicki Minaj. Remember Lady of Rage and Da Brat? We need more rappers like that!
TH: What other hobbies do you have?
Robby: I've become a Vegas addict. It's dangerous living so close
I'm also an artist/producer in the Hip-Hop duo, NjS. My partner Kuga and I grew up together in San Francisco, CA. He's Japanese and I'm half, and we make music in English and Japanese depending on the market we're targeting. Kuga has lived in Tokyo for the past 4 years, and I was studying abroad there for 13 months about 2 years ago. While we were there we had the opportunity to perform at a bunch of clubs around Tokyo and link up with some pretty awesome people in the industry there. Our goal is to globalize music even more than it already is and bring artists together from all over the place for international collaborations because we feel like that would open up so many doors for everyone and it seems like the natural progression of music. One thing that is a little promising is that Lil Wayne did a collaboration with the Jpop star, Verbal of M-Flo, about 2 years ago, but I'm willing to bet that not many people heard it outside Japan. So we'd like to see more of that happen, but with more success. If anyone's interested, here's our website: http://www.TheOfficialNjS.com
Other than that, I love learning languages and traveling. I've studied Spanish and Japanese so far, and I'm currently studying Korean. I'm debating between Mandarin and French for my next language, what do you think??

Master Printer and co-founder of Prints of Darkness, Brooklyn, NY
Prints of Darkness is a fine art collaborative printshop located in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn, since 2006. The shop operates on a contract printshop model where the artist works directly with master printer Rob Swainston on editions and/or unique multiples. The shop is equipped for relief, etching, silkscreen, stone and plate lithography, and digital inkjet printing -- specializing in layering several of these processes together. Our strength is identifying elements within an individual artists practice that synergizes with traditional and contemporary print processes.
Prints of Darkness has been fortunate to work on
many projects with some fantastic artists. The shop has ongoing collaborations with Charline von Heyl and Dana Schutz. The 2014 Whitney Biennial has four artists who work with Prints of Darkness—Uri Anan, Jacolby Satterwhite, Emily Sundblad, and Charline von Heyl. Work produced in collaboration with von Heyl at Prints of Darkness was featured in MOMA's 'Abstract Generation: Now in Print' (March 15 – September 2, 2013). Cheyney
Tompson, another Prints of Darkness collaborator, is also featured in this show. The 2012 Whitney Biennial included five artists who have worked with Prints of Darkness—Robert Gober, Reena Spaulings (John Kelsey, Jutta Koether, Emily Sundblad), and LaToya Ruby Fraizier. The series Campaign for Braddock Hospital (Save Our Community Hospital) that Frazier exhibited in the 2012 Biennial were photo-litho/silkscreeen prints produced in collaboration with Prints of Darkness. The 2013 Venice Biennale included prints by Gavin Brown artist Uri Aran produced at Prints of Darkness. In 2011 the shop
produced a benefit print project, SKOWBOX, for Skowhegan School of Painting and
Sculpture. Artists on this project included Robert Gober, Mark Grotjahn, Dana Schutz, Kiki Smith, and Kara Walker. The shop has also completed projects with Daniel Bozhkov, and Eve Sussman, among others. In 2012 the shop produced a benefit print for the Chinati Foundation with Charline von Heyl and a benefit edition with Dana Schutz and publisher Susan Englett for the E/AB Print Fair. In 2013 the Swiss print collective Schweizerishce
Graphische Gesellschaft commission the shop to produce an edition for DAS INSTITUT artists Kerstin Brätsch and Adele Röder.
