I remember sitting in an early morning sales room at Toyota. The general manager, a portly old white man with a high-pitched southern drawl went around the room asking everyone what they listened to in the mornings on their way to work. His belief was that a salesman should be listening to lectures, podcasts, and tutorials that would be beneficial to their growth as a salesman. When he got to me, I expressed aloud that I didn't listen to Tony Robbins, or any of the sales genius, that morning I had listened to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. He literally paused. And went to the next person.

A statement on GoodKnocking Entertainment Group's Recent Announcement on The Knockturnals, Our Radio Now, and More.
This past weekend, GoodKnocking announced the opening and repurposing of our Knockturnals. If you've been keeping up with us, you're probably already familiar with the term Knockturnal (which was introduced in 2014, a phrase coined by one of our guests). Originally, it represented our listeners, who would wait up until 10pm to tune in to our show. The term had been fitting, and was branded on our newsletter, shirts, and more. Sadly, we weren't exactly sure it resounded with our audience now that our station is 24/7 and even my show, Marvel&Friends, airs at 5pm in the afternoon. There was an untapped group that needed both the representation and the highlighting.
As of recent, my wife and I have been strategically working on fully developing our personal brands. Resetting the grounding for ourselves, and what we put out into the world. It's been intriguing getting things started, but at the same time, too, it's been pretty difficult on my end to find the inspiration and an examples what one might engage with and digest from a bloggers who are men. Why? Because they come so far, few, and between.
So my first question was, "Why aren't there as many men blogging as there are women?
Hey, fam. In hoping that my blog offers a unique and insightful look into how I manage my lifestyle for entertainment, blogging, podcasting, and events. From time to time, I do want to give some tips and provide some information about certain things to help others out there that might be struggling with getting the creative juices flowing.
I use a lot of apps. In fact, I have to emphasize that even more. I use a lot of apps. I've test-driven apps, tried beta versions, given feedback to developers, and have enjoyed life in an easier sense because of this. So, because I use so many apps, I am attached to my phone at the hip (literally) and therefore have grown widely accustomed to having my phone in hand. Enter: Quality Time App
The universe is the ultimate giver and the ultimate recipient. Of what, you ask? Of lessons, messages, and examples.
Trillions of years ago, the universe is created in one sudden moment, "The Big Bang", and since then, the universe continues creating and destroying itself. That's all the universe has been doing this whole time. In fact, scientists such as Neil deGrasse Tyson will tell us that the sonic boom (or whatever it was - gravitational waves) that was present during the creation of the universe is still traveling outward creating continuous and continual ripples for the rest of existence. Deep, right? In my quest to develop a sound blog for my readers, I've come across quite a few other sites focused on helping and providing some developmental advice for readers. Many of these sites succeed at drawing in not only the attention of readers, but also their loyalty. But is it ever enough?
As stated in my latest Niume post, I've come to question if we - the readers of said blogs - are really getting our fix and our itch scratched reading advice blogs. We've subscribed, we've read, and we've applied what we can. And that might be the problem: we're applying what we can, rather than applying all of what is being delivered to us. The relationship between subscribers and writers becomes strangely conflicted immediately when "4 Ways To Manage Your Time Better" suddenly becomes a PinkMonkey synopsis of what seems like a penny pinch of advice. So, here's my angle and thoughts on this conflict.
"The Black Grasshopper", the second entry of Life In The Garden was posted to the MarvelTheWriter Wattpad page on October 30, 2016. A year after the original posting of "In the Garden with Lizard and Snake", I wanted it to be known that The Garden would be a collection of short stories, all intertwining various characters in the garden itself.
This particular story highlights the tale of the Grasshoppers' culture and rituals, and the journey Black Grasshopper takes following three years of struggling with his molting process. Rather than understanding what he can do to grow, he tries to find the source of the Garden's annual Great Gust so that no other grasshoppers might molt into adulthood. |
