Carefree in a care free world

• Carefree in a care free world

Let it slide off like water on a duck's back. Swim through life listening to sounds of lake water moving peacefully around. Webbed feet paddling underneath, just below the water. Oh, the joy of being a duck. How often do people go around bothering ducks? I mean, people go out of their way to feed ducks at local park ponds. Sometimes, even chase ducks for fun. Follow them running 'quack, quack'. We have songs about ducks. Ducks are so much fun, and cute, all the time. They taste good too, but I'm going to keep it positive.

Life is fragile. So many people care so deeply about everyone else, that they group together to attack individuals doing their own thing. Dressing like Goths, running around with pants hanging down, or reading a book 24/7. These people have their lives; let them live it. Why care about what they are doing. Most of all, why care about what other people think of you. This is your life, live it truthfully. Be a duck, beautiful and floating on by doing what you do. Obviously don't hurt each other. Be nice to one another, please.

In general, people don't care about you. They care just enough to bust your hump, or attack you for doing you. But they don't care. They care about themselves. Oddly, they care about how you think of them. It's one big paradox really. Though, there are a small group of people out there that march to their own drum. And no, I am not talking about Charles Manson. I am talking about Steve Jobs, Robin Williams, Albert Einstein; as a small example, these people changed this world in a way that was influencing us.

Influencing us because we cared enough to see what they were doing. To be a part of their personal revolution in life. They didn't care what we thought of them. If we believed in their goals. They moved, hoping to inspire, and thus became a life that was influential. We should want to encourage life, not confine it to fear so people won't take chances. Live beyond who said what or why are they wearing that. Be your own light, be your sense of direction. Once in a while we need a rock thrown in water to ripple it in a positive direction.

Be the change you want to see in the world!

Brooklyn Bound

• Brooklyn Bound

First off, Pizza on the corner of my street. Enough said, three minute walk. I am in heaven. This was the best move I ever made in my life. Pizza, did I mention pizza... and an Ice Cream shop right on the other corner. You have to be kidding me. Why didn't anyone tell me there was a Mecca like this? I thought it was in India! To get to my heart; Pizza and Ice Cream. My belly thanks you and I thank you good people of Earth! What was this post about again? Pizza, no... oh, yes, Brooklyn Bound.

From Long Island to Brooklyn-Island? Still on the Island but considered a New York City / Five – well you get the idea. One thing leads to another as they say. From one year of me spending time with my Daddy while he gets better, to one year in an office in Miller Place, to almost two years with a full fledged Theater, I am brought to this location; Brooklyn. Everyone I met on the way was a stepping stone which helped mold my course. A good course, and strange yet bountiful course. I picked up a dog on the way too. He farts.

As my acting/comedy and writing career are growing, I have taken my consulting ways into the heart of Brooklyn to continue pushing my personal dreams while helping individuals accomplish their dreams. This is a life I've been very comfortable with. Though, expanding into a theater took up a lot of my time. With that gone, and my office building shrunk down into a nice movable state, I can begin to enjoy my life a little more. Did I mention I have a dog that farts? Not fun, but cute. This life, like everyone else, is worth living!

The few Devils we see

• The few Devils we see

There is an old biblical saying “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist...” How powerful of a statement? What if we look at it bit by bit? Imagine what power Lucifer would have if he could truly get us all to believe he doesn't exist? Then he could come and go as he sees fit. Having power over all of us, while talking directly with us. That's a lot of power to give anyone. Belial could be your friend; actions you make; family members; Cop; Lawyer (The Devil's Advocate) is a great example. Now, to me, this is far from a religious thought. As religious as I am, I personally do not believe in the Devil. However...

This statement is truthful on multiple levels. Look at yourself as the Devil. Even your lack of actions as a Devil. Entertainers are really great at two things; A) Being filled with a deep Ego and B) Being the first to put themselves down to the point of not believing in themselves. That must be some battle inside a person. Thinking you are so amazing that people should just want your artistic expression, yet on occasion, that same artist of entertainment feels they could always do better. That, the work they are showing you isn't good enough. Entertainers become their own Devil doing these two things. Pushing people away till they want nothing to do with us simply by thinking we are awesome, or have no faith in our ability is scary.

If you don't believe in yourself than how can anyone else? Giving your surrounding world a gift to want nothing to do with you manifests with your attitude. I was once immersed in music entertainment. It was my life; I knew nothing else. Then I began seeing what it all was. In an art form designed for your ears, no one was listening to anyone but their own voice. No one cared about anything but themselves. I have an extremely deep, and painful, love/hate relationship with music now. Dealing with musicians, even any entertainer. It saddens me greatly when I am directly witness to an “Entertainer Ego”. The ideals these people have. We are in this together, yet so many people push others away. I want to know there is hope.

Experiment

• Experiment

Making the world go round one day at a time. When I was 17 I dropped out of high school leaving for the world of music. I believed I would one day become successful solely on the fact that I was “awesome”, “amazing”, and “unique”. At such a young age how was I suppose to know everyone is unique, some truly amazing, and anyone who is creating expression through any art form is awesome! Needless to say, I had a band “TENEbRAE” and with my newly found friend playing drums and me on guitar. I had the world in front of me.

Truth be told, I was no where near being successful based on how Uniquely awesome my amazing talents were. Because they weren't. I was on par with everyone else who worked hard for their craft. So what changed? 7 years into playing with this band I began studying success. I learned the value of running it like a business. Once this happened, I began playing festivals, touring, got to play Canada, and even sat down to workout a record deal. All in 3 years worth of effort as a business.

10 years in music and I was done. I just didn't have the drive for it anymore. Short story; I walked away from it all. I continued to run BBR Productions Inc. so I may work on projects I enjoyed: Organizing shows to raise money for Cancer, and MS. While also working with other entertainers to help them make things happen based on my personal experience. I turned BBR Productions Inc. into a strong Consulting, Marketing and Development company. After 15 years of running my business I opened up a theater, for a total of 17 years thus far. I am Still working hard, and enjoying my freedom.

Yes, I closed down my theater, but I am still running BBR Productions Inc. and jumping back into the world of entertainment as an entertainer myself. I have been out of the spotlight for far to long. I love making people react to an emotion; be it music, comedy, acting, writing, or the beauty of art. This is where I belong. But Experiment? What is that about? Since 2007 I have enjoyed a life of casually being involved with projects but never took it seriously. A few of my clients, and some potential clients ask me, from time to time, “If you know how to do it why are you not doing it?”

Well... I told them it was easy, so it is only right that I prove that my methods, teachings, philosophies, and the power of living your life like a business truly works. Proof is in the pudding? 6 months ago I made a decisions to be more than just a person who helps individuals, or business, achieve their goals. Between TV Scripts, Reality shows, a comedy tour, my new band, finishing a book, acting, joining the actor's union, maintaining a growing company, building my brand value on line, and truly loving the fun of it in less than 6 months... I would say my theory that it takes 365 days is on par.

Bring reality to your dreams before you become stuck in the nightmare of a life you never wanted!

So, my experiment is working. Watch what I am doing, learn from it, make it happen for yourself. Instead of judging, or making fun of it, ask questions. Think about what is being completed. Remember, we learn from listening not ignoring. I want people to succeed. I am not here to fight with anyone. And if you ever need help, I am a phone call, email, or building location away!

New York City

• New York City

I love the windy city, wait, wrong template intro. Ah, the big orange? Pear? Apple! The big Apple during the winter months is the equivalent to standing in a meat locker during Rocky's training session. Beat the meat, beat it good and hard. But always wrap your hands so you don't hurt yourself. There is one thing I can say about New York City: It is alive. I've been all over the world... Okay, more like North America, and New York City has shown me more in less space. I hate the city, I love the experience! I hate it because I am a country boy, give me miles between neighbors, YAY. What I love about the city is what you learn during your time there. Who people are and what amazing history each step has beneath your feet.

People have said to me “Thomas, move to LA... Move here, move there, move everywhere.” I can't because I don't want to. I love New York in general. Upstate, downstate, Long Island, the city and yes, even Staten Island... kind of. Living in Florida, or traveling around America with my metal band, I learned one thing: More happens in New York than anywhere I have ever been. Now, there might be events happening in other places, and I can't give an opinion on, say, Europe (Since I have never been there), but what New York gives you is opportunity. The history of life flows through these streams of life. Dreams that came from other countries poured through the streets hoping to make something happen.

Between comedy, music, acting and writing I feel the best when I am expressing myself through success. Each step I take is calculated. It helps not having a day job, as I am my own boss in life. It also helps that I have a very specific plan. One of which I have taught to other people for over 17 years. This is my life because I took the actions to make it my life. When people say they can't bring their dreams to reality I give them a confused look. Because they can, they have the power, just lack the will and the plan. I reached out and was advised, I reached out and studied success, I reached out and found possibility by creating opportunity! The act of doing is the hardest part until you are rolling down the hill of SUCCESS!!!

Time is all we don't have?

• Time is all we don't have?

I enjoy hearing people say to me “Thomas,...” because that's my name; “Thomas, time is all we have!” As I agree with this to a point, I believe it takes more effort to live with that mentality. I am an Aries, so I see each moment as our last. Embracing what may come or is here now. I look at time as moments we have lost. If I looked at it as “Time is all we have” then I would be less motivated than I am. I don't have all the time in the world. I have a select amount of time bound to me and I am not even aware of how much that is. Which is kind of scary, but so much fun if you think about it. I don't want to think about, yes I do, no I don't!

That feeling of when could it be is amazing. Thus, I enjoy living each day as my last. I truly do have an addiction to having fun. Fun to me is watching a movie or a TV show that entertains me. Hanging out with a few friends and thinking, talking and making laughter pour out of my body. Fun is being in the moment, living without stress. Those bills, you know the ones we worry about, will be there after I am dead. So, forget-a-bout-it! Take in the moment. This means I still must be prepared for anything. To get the most out of my life I must always remember my purpose.

My foundation, my Triangle of life, my Needs that help focus my dreams and goals. I am aware of my personal S.M.A.R.T. Goals while also living with a free mentality. These things keep me grounded with direction yet give me the freedom to do as I wish in my life. If I didn't follow these rules I would be working a normal job everyday to keep my life in the status quo. That is not the life I want. I created my freedom by setting up a foundation first. I once worked three jobs at one time. Talk about insanity. I am glad I am where I am now. Own my own companies, invest as needed, and get to entertain thousands if not tens of people every month!

Day 120 of 365

• Day 120 of 365

Inspire, involve, evolve, and motivate! That's what we are seeing in our fourth month of excitement. Wow, four months have gone by. Each month seems incredibly unlikely that our plan is working. It is almost too far fetch that our task at hand, our game plan filled with such Specific S.M.A.R.T. Goals has lead us to this amazing moment. With each of the comedians making headway on their own frontier, our Top of the Bottom Pile adventure continues to gain momentum in a very positive way.

One major thing we really wanted to have happen was inspiration. Our actions were meant to see the thriving nature of success inside people grow and be motivated. Wishfully believing if we began a venture to success through a very unique perspective that others might follow in suit. So is happening, and we are excited others are joining the ranks of doing instead of just performing. However, the needs and wants which lead to success are much more difficult than trying. There is a strategy and we will focus on maintaining our momentum forward.

With the Top of the Bottom Pile website hitting some great numbers, our Brand value is feeling pretty good! I think some of the most exciting stuff has come from, not performing, but us meeting new people, designing our purpose to be more and more specific. We are even going to begin the podcast show we have been really pushing for. Who knows, one day we might look back eight months from now and say “If we never started when we did, we would have never gotten where we are now.” I love what we are doing as a team. Support the cause pile style!
