The New Hip Hop playlist on Spotify is improving. There’s more variety and I am particularly enjoying the new retro jazz style beats. I’ll look up the names of the songs if you ask me. I added one to my Fall 2016 playlist. I do a seasonal Spotify playlist – Spring Summer Fall Winter, every year. Not to say that I’m not digging “Champions” With Kanye and Gucci Mane and that ilk.

I simmered my chicken broth for two days. Soup gets more concentrated over time as do your philosophies and works. Shopify and Printful need to get it together on their shipping integration structures. The calculations have been holding me up from opening KillerBroccoli and giving me mini anxiety attacks.

As I run through Forest Park daily, listening to Seth Godin, I wonder what trips I can take to historical sites in the Northeast or what antiques, what style of antiques I want to collect and where to acquire them from. I need to find locavore restuarants in regional areas and adjacent states and converse with the owners on how they sourced their menus. This seems like a hobby I want to take up.

Greenpoint and Williamsburg were a long time ago.

I’m All The Way Up. Sorry I hate stealing words from others but I’m an artist, in other words: an irrational thief.

Good Evening.

If you’re an introvert you can enjoy a cup of tea or a glass of whiskey while browsing Ebay for antiques. If you’re an extrovert you would more likely enjoy going to the pub to watch an NFL game with some light beer and piping hot buffalo wings while yelling at the TVs. I enjoy both.

What is a mixtrovert? I’m sure I didn’t just coin that word but I am too lazy to google it. Most of us are probably mixtroverts to some degree and labels break down when you just decide to live your life choice-to-choice Socratically and with an autotelic imperative.

But I don’t yell at TVs. Guys, they can’t hear you. The players can’t hear you, there’s no point yelling at TVs, it only aggravates those around you.

I am not a scientist, I am not a journalist, I am not a statistician, I am not Denise Minger. So when I post my opinions they are simply that, opinions.

Now for my to do list: get new headshots, audition for everything I can find, build my reel, and star on a hit television show. There’s another million things on my list but these are the most important at this moment.

My news Twitter is @aaronpetanews. The reason I have a news twitter and also @aaronpeta, is the news twitter is simply mini press releases of news events in my career mostly targeted towards casting directors.

KillerBroccoli.com is almost up. Guys you should buy these shirts because they’re whackt and cool.

Says, Aaron.

I won’t do this everyday. I don’t do anything everyday. Maybe that’s what it takes. To become accomplished at anything. My mind scrambles in too many different directions. I am not sure if it is a hard-wiring issue or an environmental one. The question is when you write something, something right off the top of your head and you post it, of what value is it to the reader? I can say, hey, I’m working on my comedy set or my t-shirt line, or I got in a fight with one of my best friends and now I feel bad about it, but what good is that to you?

People seem to want to gain intrinsic value from everything they consume now. How can you show me how to get rich? How can you show me how to cook an amazing meal? How can you show me how to get more likes? How can you make my life better? That’s what everyone wants. Everyone wants everyone else to follow them on social media but they don’t want to follow anyone else back. Everyone wants to be taught so they can be the best. Most want to be a star. Tim Ferriss is basically a teacher. I never liked teaching. People always told me, oh you could teach acting, or music lessons, or English. But I don’t want to. I want to do things. I feel that people can teach themselves. Especially now with the internet. And now most everything on the internet is a bunch of teaching lessons in every possible topic imaginable.

If I ramble on about my projects is that interesting to you? I’m just interested in myself. That’s not true. I’m interested in many people and many things and my interests change over time. I guess the conflict is that I don’t like revealing my process. There is absolutely no comedy here. I used to be automatically comical. Now I gotta say, hey, I should insert something funny here. And that’s the other way of doing things. When you provide content, you either offer the consumer something that improves him or her or you provide something that entertains or informs them.

So beat it, and thank you.

A blog. I used to call it a glob. I always had to be different. I was like, everyone else has a blog, so I have a glob. But now I just have a blog. Actually two. I blog in two places. Here at aaronpeta.com and also at thepetafiles.com. I clearly know the difference between these two pieces of real estate. This blog is for updates about my life and projects and thepetafiles.com is abstract multimedia and art pieces, in various categories of (dis)organization.

I have always had a huge craving for abstraction but most people don’t seem to grasp it. I don’t mean to imply condescension. I wish more people enjoyed abstraction. They think they don’t “get it.” Go past that. Just enjoy it. It’s a creative workout gym for me. It caters to the fringe I suppose, so I’ve decided to separate it. I don’t like being thought of as a dadaist I just like it when things are fun.

KillerBroccoli.com my new t-shirt line is almost complete and will go live in a day or so. The fall 2016 line has 6 new designs.

I am hosting JokeStar. It’s the open mic every Friday at 4pm at The Lantern Comedy at 167 Bleecker Street, NYC. Come down tell some jokes and be a star. I like to keep it fun and lively.

I am getting ready to release my next music single within a month or so.

Why do I have to have a personal brand? Why do I have to excel in one specific thing? I do standup comedy, I act, and I create music. How do I define myself, and why do I deserve to be heard?
