I have a bad feeling about this.
Got home yesterday and interrupted my wife from doing her paper. I explained that I need a punching bag. I then proceeded to tell her stories of the day. Feel bad now. I just wanted to vent, but it’s the same old stories – just mix around the characters.
Welcome to AMA Wednesday –
Via someone – “Are you meditating?”
YES – 13 days in a row
All month – the goal is daily meditation. I’m officially signed up through the Waking Up app – it’s from Sam Harris – author, philosopher, podcaster, not the singer. Good voice though. Maybe he could sing. Surprise me. Just like Seth MacFarlane did.

1st Day of the 3 Day Fast – I’m trying to write a script for a separate video, so I can refer to that. My friend, Cecil, is willing to help me with that one.
19th month in a row for 3-day fasts
I first learned about fasting through – Tim Ferriss. One of his books that you would think includes information on fasting is his book: The 4-Hour Body. But – that’s not true.
15 Minute Female Orgasm?
The book that includes some good info is the Tools of Titans

6:23PM – dinner ended
So, my little girl wanted the family to go for a walk last night. We really are fortunate with the backyard that we have and how it backs up to trails.
Unfortunately, I had work to “paperwork” and I wasn’t going to go.

It’s great having those 3-day weekends with the 4th being this past Monday. BUT – it never ends up feeling like a shorter week. They always feel longer. Welcome to Friday – we all deserved it . . . probably as early as Wednesday, but we got it now.

Clerks 3 trailer is out and I’m excited – click here for that. Movie out this fall.
I’m excited for the music that Kevin Smith will use. His movie – Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back have two of my favorite uses of music in them. The first one is with Bon Jovi’s Bad Medicine.
I don’t know how much of that I can play. And then Shannon Elizabeth introduces her friends and they have their own song.
That’s Eliza Dushku on the right.
New Music Friday:
A guy with a great first name released his latest album today – Wasteland – I’m talking about Brent Faiyaz. Checks in at just over an hour and spread out over 19 tracks. Although, some of those tracks aren’t full blown songs . . . one is even listed as a “skit.” Nevertheless, there’s a bunch of guest appearances from Tyler, the Creator to Alicia Keys to Drake as well as The Neptunes. Again, Brent Faiyaz with Wasteland.
The 1975 have officially announced their next album. Being Funny in a Foreign Language. Today, we get one of the 11 tracks called “Part of the Band,” which arrives with a new video as well. Full album drop . . . October 14th.
Run the Jewels is one of my favorites to listen to. Half the group is Killer Mike, who is back with his first new solo song in 10 years. The single is called “Run” and features a guest verse from Young Thug as well as an introductory monologue by Dave Chappelle. There’s a video out and it portrays a narrative of Black people fighting against fascists attempting to return the South to the Confederacy. Killer Mike – keeping it real good . . . all the time.
Brent Favorite – Old Sea Brigade aka Ben Kramer shares his latest single “Stayed Up Late” – it’s off his third studio album – 5AM Paradise – which drops October 28th. He has that acoustic chill sound going for him that you would experience in a coffeehouse . . . or at least on a coffeehouse playlist. Overall, check him out at Old Sea Brigade.

Via the website Genius.com: “The Sleep album Dopesmoker consists of a single, 63 minute song written by the band over the course of 4 years during the mid 90’s. The band’s epic struggles to have it recorded and released between 1995, when they were first ready to record, and 2003 (remastered in 2012), when the 4th and final version was released, are legendary. Despite being rejected numerous times by record labels, Dopesmoker was highly critically acclaimed, and is now considered a touchstone of stoner metal and doom metal. Dopesmoker had been presumed to be Sleep’s final album for over a decade, before the release of The Sciences on 4/20/18.” Anyway – Third Man Records – Jack White’s record company

Last night, my wife and I went out for our 15th Wedding Anniversary. We had dinner at Snuff Mill – Restaurant – Butchery and Wine Bar. If you want to try, you have to book a reservation and bring money. I mean – it’s a nice dinner out! Driving around, I began playing my Morning Babble playlist – a bunch of songs that my wife hadn’t heard before, but I listen to every morning before I babble.

I did meditate. (video clip) I so wanted Michael Hutchence to be holding a card that said “Meditate” – he did not though. Anyway though – Day 1 of the Waking Up app – it’s from Sam Harris – author, philosopher, podcaster, not the singer.
New Music Friday:
Music News – R&B Singer R Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years in prison following a conviction in federal court last year on sex trafficking. When’s the last time you heard one of his songs? Just the other day – I heard “I Believe I Can Fly” – 1996 song from the movie Space Jam.
Hard rocker, Shinedown – their 7th full-length studio album: Planet Zero is out today. As promised – a lot of music is on there. Nearly 50 minutes of new sounds divided up into 20 new songs. As mentioned before, the majority of the record is drums, bass, guitar, but there are piano songs – we got “Daylight” recently and I actually added that on my Morning Babble playlist. Today, we get, as Brent Smith sings in the song – the four letter word – “Hope.” And as I also stated before, Brent – that’s an awesome name.
Last night at midnight after days of being teased, Cardi B Released ‘Hot Shit’ Featuring Kanye West And Lil Durk. The song is apparently going to be on her upcoming album which is still unknown for the release date. It’s catchy. (Video clip) – I think that’s all I can play.
Last year, Imagine Dragons dropped Mercury Act 1. Fans accepted it . . . mainly because it was . . . you know – Imagine Dragons. But – Act 2 dropped today. More upbeat, more moving, more like the past sounds of Imagine Dragons, but still fresh. We already got the songs “Bones” and “Sharks” which sort of dictated the direction of this 2nd Act. The song being pushed today is “I Don’t Like Myself” – I enjoyed the storytelling and feelings revealed throughout that song.
Lastly, this song . . . I can already hear it in the clubs . . . if only I went to them. Yesterday, Charli XCX released “Hot In It” – a collaboration with Dutch DJ Tiësto, which as actually a part of his upcoming album. The song has instantly become a TikTok favorite.
“Tonight, I’m gon’ be rockin’ it, droppin’ it/Shake my ass, no stoppin’ it” More chorus. “I look hot in it, hot in it, I look hot in it.”

Checking email – my rule is don’t do it first thing in the morning. Don’t. Let your mind sort of do what it wants to do in the morning. Don’t taint it with a work email. I actually have my email nicely split into two icons. So, I can check my personal email (Gmail) without being bombarded with today’s “whatevers” from work.
I’ll tell you what I won’t be doing for July – Cold showers.
I will be doing meditation. I know – not really a challenge. BUT – I am going to make myself do it every day in July. I’ll be signing up through the Waking Up app – it’s from Sam Harris – author, philosopher, podcaster, not singer.
