Living In A Post Truther World

The truther movement as I usually like to call it may be full of shills, or controlled opposition or even “controversial control freaks,” regardless of where the path takes you, all you can do is authentic to yourself.

Over the past few weeks I have found a new peace in my own life because I have fasted (yes I believe in fasting), and yes I have prayed. I like to pray when I fast and I realized that I don’t have to wake up anyone anymore.

Why? People believe what they believe. To get them to be flexible and shift their position is so impossible because you have to look at a situation with fresh eyes.

No, I don’t have all the answers and when I get attacked online when I do, you know in a text or on a phone call, I just laugh and say most of the time: “I don’t know what I don’t know and your guess is as good as mine.”

Most relationships have a beginning, a middle, and an end. 

For those that “get you” and stay along for the ride, I openly welcome them. For others, that make you “wrong” from the start, you have to love them enough to let them go.

Regardless of where this Substack Post finds you, I want you to know that there are no accidents and if you simply look at what is happening around you, it will all make sense after awhile.

We don’t choose who we love. Some people you’ll meet along the way and from day one you’ll just be pissed at them all the time, while others will come along, and it feels like you have always known them and you can’t imagine your life without them.

This internet thing is an amazing journey, isn’t it?

Doesn’t your life feel like an “APP” sometimes?

Aren’t you blown away with how many people come along and get you while others just ignore you.

Hey, it is what it is.

Love you, Seize the day!

It’s Okay To Let Old Artists Fade Out

It is out of respect for older artists that I am willing to let them be who they are now.

No, Joni Mitchell will never be who she once was. The times she lived in will never return again.

Our youth will never return again.

All we can do is appreciate these artists for who they once were.

Back in the 1970’s, there was no digital, there was only Analog and most of it was 2 Inch reel to reel tape at 30 Inches Per Second.

Welcome Back To Stoner Studio

I am Awake, I am Not Woke

If you are serious about being an artist regardless if it’s in music, film, writing, painting or any other form, you are basically going to have to go it alone.

Why did I just write that?

Answer: You can’t build your own team until you have a clear understanding of what you’re creating.

There is a life we learn with and a life we live with.

The #1 Lesson I’ve learned along the way is that envy and jealousy from others around you will kill whatever project you are working on before it gets out of the gate.

How do you handle this?

Answer: It’s always better to tell them what you’ve done, not what you are going to do.

You are going to have to live as a social recluse because my observation of most of the people in the entertainment game is that they are online all the time but at the end of the day getting really little done.

Over the past two years I’ve been a very torn man I witnessed, watched and heard so many strange things out of the media, from Family and Friends. From former business partners.

Too hip, can’t talk, gotta go. That was the old Hollywood.

The New Hollywood? The truth is there is no new Hollywood and if you are sitting in front of the latest M1 or M2 Mac or a super fast gaming laptop, you basically now in charge of your own studio. Wake up, the software is all available.

In the grand scheme of things, the past two years over Covid may have been the best two years of my life. Why? First, I didn’t have to take meetings with people that I really have no interest in. Second, I was able to discern how other people think simply by by finding out what they thought of Covid, the Covid Shot, as well as how it affected their social life.

What’s it all about Alfie? Is this real, or is this Memorex? Since Covid my life has become a messenger app. Oh yes, if you are like me and you may be, you have Skype, Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, Viber, Snapchat, Line, Google Hangouts, Twitch, Discord, or even Rumble.

That’s your new life. It won’t go back to the way it was because we are now in a culture that is 100% Divided. You can’t tell me it’s not, I’ve just had seen too much craziness over the past two years.

As I always say there is a “Life we learn with and a life we live with.” What do I wish? I wish for you what you wish for yourself.

It’s all good, it will all work out, and who knows, maybe you’ll be a better version of yourself in the end.

Me? I knew who I was at 15 years of age. Most people? They never figure out who they are.

All of us want to know:

Who am I?

Why am I here?

If you can figure out who you are and why you are here you are 90% ahead of everyone else!

The Journey Continues

Yesterday was a big day as I had to figure out how to generate a new SSL code so that this website can continue. I’d like to sincerely thank NameCheap who did a great job of walking me through the steps to keep Stoner.Studio safe online.

The remainder of 2022 will be another big transition for America and the World. If you want to know, dear reader whom this blog for, it’s really for you not me. This site is for those who can still think for themselves. You know something is strange, you can’t really put your finger on it, plus you see people acting weird!
