It’s best to be apolitical. I assume that both Donald Trump and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez truly believe they are freedom fighters trying to save America. From the opposite ends of the spectrum, we all think we are correct, and logical, and compassionate, and scientific. America will find a consensus somewhere in all of this, and I will have nothing to do with it. I will stop watching CNN and Fox News and allow the country to boil down to homeostasis without my input and opinion, but with my spiritual blessing and rooting. Go Replublicrats!

You have to have a spiritual practice today. I mean come on. It’s madness without one. All the stress of modern commuting times and hyperbolic politicizations. I will publish a list of the top 15 reasons to not drink alcohol, but not on this post. I could insert images here. I could have a small file playing simple pilgrim fiddle music for the enjoyment of the reader. I have too many projects on the go and several sentences being thought of to be typed at the same time. Oh, yeah, his website is a series of non-sequiturs and vague references to not getting things done and not entering the arena of online self-appointed self-help gurus. But I do have a lot of techniques the world at large is unlikely aware of.

Having a political agenda forces unscientificness (false word used intentionally) in several arenas. The right is unscientific about climate change, of course this is my opinion, I haven’t read all the literature. The left is unscientific about gender; self-explanatory. The left is unscientific about agricultural sustainability. Properly managed livestock are carbon negative. Plant based agriculture is always carbon positive. The whole world could eat beef and save the planet in the process. Virtually no one is scientific about psychic phenomena; proven beyond all possibilities of chance to a gargantuan degree for decades. I have no concept of the statistical significance of firearm regulation in regards to public safety, thus I have no idea which politic is unscientific about that, but one is. Choose your opinions based on rational thinking and numbers and data, not on the gravity of a political leaning.

I have taken a renewed interest in mathematics, as well as a long time binge of the music of Mötley Crüe due to the move The Dirt. Memories run in neural networks so listening to the songs set off a chain reaction of memories of all sorts of events, activities, and numerous sensory experiences from childhood from all five senses. Once I determine the function of feelings, the omni-directional nature of time and how these factors apply to the continuum of my consciousness, I’ll do nothing about it, save enjoy it more thoroughly.

I will attempt to make my next post far less comical. I will attempt to write a post daily. I have to categorize all main forms of human endeavor, areas of study, disciplines, and skills, just to create a reference map for myself. I am not attempting to swat away any potential audience, just not sure if there is one suited to the contours of my thought developments.

Looking back it seems like there was one act that dominated each decade and was miles ahead of everyone else stylistically and musically. I guess they are my acts of the decades, for now.

1. 1960s The Beatles
2. 1970s No one. Waylon Jennings would get an honorable mention because his best style was in this era.
3. 1980s Mötley fkn Crüe
4. 1990s Pavement
5. 2000s Kanye sort of

Who are your acts of the decades?

(Written on a plane)

I used to try to do everything and wound up finishing nothing.

If I were to do one thing, what would you want it to be? What is the most satisfying type of creativity I can give you:

1. A podcast
2. A YouTube series or vlog
3. Stand-up comedy in real life
4. New songs and music on the regular

Since you can’t comment here, post a reply on my Facebook @aaronpeta or @killerbroccoli (my personal page), or else tweet at me @aaronpeta.

Streamlining Creatively Aaron

I haven’t done anything creative lately. I haven’t written a song. Actually I did write a song. About her. On acoustic guitar. I haven’t done comedy. Actually I did one comedy show recently. I haven’t acted. Actually I did a play reading recently. I will try to write shorter and more direct posts. Maybe one day this will develop a form. I could talk about more concrete and private things in my life. No one wants to read a blog that doesn’t help them. I think about her all the time.

Aaron slowly.

So I am releasing a new song. It’s been a long time since I’m Not A Hipster and now I am doing it the song by song way rather than attempting to barf out an entire album which can have the side of effect of barfing your brains out of your ears.

The concept of the song is fantasy. This guy is super rich and he brags about his life. As time goes on he senses something is not right, then as his alarm clock rings waking him up, he realizes he was dreaming and he’s just a regular guy who has to go to work.

I’ve been posting the image series with the lyrics to the song on my Instagram and Facebook page and possibly that’s an idiotic thing to do. It has been getting absolutely zero engagement. Well a tiny bit on IG but nothing on Facebook. So the concept was to get people familiar with the look of the art, to expect music coming from me, and to have the entire lyrics of the song written across all the posts chronologically. Either people don’t know what the hell it is, or more likely don’t care, or possibly think it’s/I’m incredibly stupid.

I guess this type of marketing works for people who know how to do marketing. The song however is pretty good. I don’t know whether to cancel the whole image post series and just release the damn thing or to finish what I started.

No Sign Off Aaron

1/28/2018

OK, it’s just gotten so much harder over the years to come up with topics. To write something that has a point or that relates to what is going on in the world outside of me. But I will try. Here are some topic proposals that I will present to the community board of directors of Aaron Peta’s condescending humble deliberator machine:

• My feelings about standup comedy and whether it’s a useful thing to do, for the doer and the public
• battle of the sexes, whether men and women should cut off their stuffs and just be neutered like cats
• grains and foods that are made mostly of carbs, what their value is, if any
• the healing powers of red meat, for the body and the environment
• pop music and what is going on with it since 1980whatever
• what’s the point of writing anything non-fiction outside the realm of academics
• how come being funny on purpose has become redundant
• why topics are pointless
• why dadaism and absurdism are way better than people give them attention for
• why it’s better to add something aesthetic like a story, movie, song, cartoon, than information that tries to get people to better themselves
• why I have such a strong aversion to doing and discussing normal things
• why having a political side, left or right, is moronic
• why financial wealth is underrated
• why I haven’t done anything with my life yet

OK so I will discuss these and several thousand similar and dissimilar topics with myself for the next umpteen millennia and then begin planning to consider developing an outline for some or other ideas to form into potential structures for possible adaptation to blog type posts at some undefined point in the non-specific future.

Tomorrow I may eat a ketogenic sandwich.

I am open to suggestions, as long as they do not involve gluten.

Topically Aaron

Jan 5-2018

I eat hamburgers but I don’t eat the bun. This has been firmly established. The vast majority of my best creative ideas are sacrificed to the gods of the abyss of ephemeral uncaptured neuronal firings. If gluten was just banned it would be a lot easier to go out with friends. For me. And that’s the reason I complain about the environment as well. For me. I’m not an environmentalist. I just don’t like garbage. I want the trees and plants and good weather and all that stuff for myself, not future generations. I don’t recycle paper and plastic separately and carefully discard electronics through the mandated depots and. I don’t know how to end sentences. I don’t know where to put things: Like a bunch of photos on my computer, or a bunch of ideas in my head. Do I put these pics on instagram, or Facebook, or snapchat, or a blog post, or do I just get stressed out and not post them at all? I had three New Years Resolutions That Were So Important That I Wrote The Rest Of This Sentence in Title Case. For the record, I will post them here, from Facebook, because I don’t know where to put things. (I want a persona, a way the public sees me, but I have not found it yet).

I’m addicted to CNBC. It’s the only news channel that matters. All I need to know are the events that affect the movements of the markets and how it affects money. Does that make me totally boring and old? I was going to get BitCoin back in 2011 and I didn’t. Why didn’t I? It was one of those things on my to do list, item number 57 or something. Now I’m still wondering if I should. It’s so unstable. Yet it seems inevitable. Will we still use dollars in the future?

The point of this blog is that it has no point. It’s like Seinfeld, except funny. It’s hard to write about concrete topics, but if I did it would be about, that’s the thing, I don’t know what it would be about. I’m so superfluously redundant in my contributions to whatever people have written about all over the place. I don’t have like my funny take on a current event. Or my new wise insight into dietary health and nutrition. Or maybe I do but I don’t feel like sharing those things. Because everyone else does that, so it’s of limited entertainment to myself.

At the very least I could make this in some way entertaining for someone other than myself. Or maybe that’s it. Entertain myself; In a place that is technically public, but totally not utilized as such. It’s like hey look, “I’m naked in my window!” but there’s nobody on the street. Or there are but no one looks up. That’s my blog. Naked in my window and no one notices. What if I was like, hey Rihanna is naked in my window and no one heard me. And no one saw.

I may as well write my to do list since no one is paying attention: write blog post (almost done), organize comedy notes to redo my set, determine which stock picks to buy and write covered calls on, plan the release of the unreleased completed song, sort all my pics for instagram posts, figure out what YouTube videos to put up next, finish uploading products to Amazon and open my three dot com stores again, determine the best sources for finding auditions for television shows, and figure out a way to write more useful and in some way entertaining blog posts. At least I have gotten away from the need for cryptic and oblong language in these posts.

It was Seth Godin who said that a daily public blog post is one of the best things you can do for yourself as a person, or something like that. I am not saying I am going to commit to daily but I want to get more regular, like a healthy bowel, the metaphor being that these posts are crap.

Do you want information, infotainment, entermation or some mix of all of them? Technically or casually I could blog about current events, histories of things, art stuff, music stuff, investing ideas and techniques, nutrition and health, political hot topics (blech), parodies and satires, my own pursuits and exploits (which are currently nil, but will ramp back up after the winter hibernation nap), or something else. I guess.

If you read this and you want me to know that it is of any value to you or that it potentially could be of value to you in the future then share it on Facebook. Not Twitter, not some other social situation, Facebook. Because Facebook is the mean big ugly personal naked in the window and all your friends are laughing at your poker most exposed social situation in town and all around. Do it.

Also, I’m practicing the piano a lot.

Aaron Fully Clothed In The Window

There are so many things I haven’t done because of branding. Or brand fearing. There are songs I didn’t release, and jokes I didn’t perform and blog posts and social media pictures I didn’t post because I thought, “that’s not my brand. People won’t get it. They’ll think I’m not being the real me.” Brand sucks. I know no one reads this blog. If they did, someone somewhere would mention it. It’s like the bigfoot of blogs. There’s no proof anyone has ever seen it. So in the near future I will blow up brand fear. I don’t have a brand anyway. What do I look like? What is my style? What movie character am I supposed to play? I don’t know. I try to be happy, I’m a regular guy with a regular face and regular voice, slightly shorter than average.

I think people don’t connect with me because I post whatever I think about classical repertoire music and post short nonsensical jokes that maybe put people off. I’m naturally nice but also easily able to be politically offensive even though I really don’t want to be. So with branding I should ignore it. For now. It’s more important to have something that you do and have people pay attention and listen.

Is it better to have a blog and post every day or is it better to just participate in social media? Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat? And hope that many someones say, “hey this guy is worth paying attention to?” I had so many absurd things to say. And so many things I thought were funny, but no one else seemed to agree with me. Is that the idea of a dweeb? A tart? A tithead? It’s like if you work your hardest to write a comic or make a youtube page and you achieve it, publish it, and then no one likes it or comments on it, does that mean you’re an idiot, or does it just mean you’re not properly branded?

Right now I am neither. Well I might be an idiot tart but I am not properly branded. So I guess I will do everything I want to that suits me or does not. Hopefully something will click with someone somewhere and then I will just get into a creative habit that has some purpose. I admire people with creative habits. Like people who are always on similar TV shows, or people who just do standup comedy and get better and better and have more and more followers for that one specific thing. But I can’t do that. Not now. So I will keep dividing myself and dividing my ability to brand myself. I will continue podcasting, doing standup comedy, looking for acting roles, I will finally release a new song, I will blog on here, post random things on YouTube, blog on my dadaist other blog and also keep playing the piano. And none of it will match or go together or make anyone understand who I am any better than that. I will remain unbranded. If you want to brand me, feel free. Please send a self addressed stamped envelope if you want a reply to Aaron Peta, PO Box 150186 Kew Gardens, NY, 11415.
