Passion is the Genesis of Genius

The best the worst

Eminem may be the best lyricist out.

I read a thread on social that stated “if you work for min wage, please understand - that means that if the company could pay you less, they would - but - legally they can’t”.

Cat Tales

July 20, 2022  /  Rob Stevens

I feel like every time I make a note in my notebook for an idea I have for a book, it’s been done.. lot of books written since the dawn of writing. How many exactly? Does anyone know? And has it all been written? No.

So my latest idea comes from a bedtime story I tell my daughter. She enjoys this series called “I Survived” about kids surviving historical events. I ran with the idea but tailored it to her liking even more and made the historical event seen from a pets point of view. The first tale I’ve been telling my daughter at bedtime, is from a cats perspective of the bubonic plague. I won’t go much more into it except that the family who owns the cats are kind of like the villages pest control, they use their cats to rid the village of rodents. And the cats catch wind of a deadly illness wiping out villages across the river.

See ya tomorrow night….

The People

June 18, 2022  /  Rob Stevens

Carlin was so on point about so many things, but this one especially… though I must add that the “leaders / elected” aren’t typically your everyday Americans but your typical “American propaganda consuming, don’t focus on actual issues” citizens.

An Open Letter to the Live Free Or Die state

June 16, 2022  /  Rob Stevens

Live Free Or Die(d)

In the bias of politicians

An Open Letter to Governor Sununu, The NH House & Senate

New Hampshire’s state motto “Live Free or Die”, originally made by General John Stark (no relation to Game of Thrones Jon Snow/Stark) as a toast during the Revolutionary War. The toast in full was “Live Free or Die, Death is not the worst of evils”.

For a state to boast that motto, you’d think they’d be willing to allow the people to vote on pressing issues. But there is a specific issue the people of New Hampshire overwhelmingly support yet are not even given the chance to vote on, Cannabis. Governor Sununu (more like Su-No No) has been “We The People”’s greatest opposition. Gov Sununu has been a vocal opponent to the legalization of Cannabis. And the representatives in Government have been going at a snails pace in allowing the people to use their voice at the ballot box to decide what they’re “Freedoms” should be surrounding Cannabis.

In a recent survey published by the University of New Hampshire (UNH), they found that three in four NH residents back adult-use legalization. And 78 percent said that they favor allowing adults to buy cannabis from licensed retailers if it is legalized. Those seem like record numbers of support. Though we have another record setter here in New Hampshire, in 2020 Governor Sununu broke a gubernatorial record with his 22 vetoes that year, NHPR reports. And coincidentally, everything I read about cannabis legislation comes with the caveat that it faces a tyrannical threat from the people in power.

It’s bewildering that neighbors to the North, South, East and West have all figured out how to legalize Cannabis. Whether they let the people decide the issue or just moved forward down the road of legalization because the science on cannabis has cut through the fear based propaganda, it’s time to be a state of its words - Live Free or Die (maybe not the die part yet). Our residents deserve to decide for themselves. Cannabis brings more than money, jobs, and education to empower the next generation, it also helps rebuild communities disproportionately affected. Kyle Jaeger of Marijuanamoment.com reports Massachusetts brought in an estimated $74.2 million in adult use tax revenue (as of Dec 2021) which surpassed all the Alcohol generated tax revenue. Instead of helping other states economy’s boom, it’s time we put Cannabis on the ballot and let the people decide.

With this letter comes an open invitation for any representative of the people of New Hampshire to discuss this topic on the show.

It’s Ok to not be Ok.

June 16, 2022  /  Rob Stevens

Life has this potential to be beautiful yet like anything with such immaculate beauty - it also has the potential to be viciously brutal. It won’t always be brutal, just like it won’t always be beautiful - but those moments happen. And to endure it can sometimes feel like it lasts a lifetime.

If you’re not ok, that’s ok. Don’t pretend, but also don’t allow it to obscure the beauty when you do find it. It’s a battle, but you must continue on. And you must find the beauty again and again and again.

Times like these, we learn to live again.

This Wicked Old House

June 14, 2022  /  Rob Stevens

Big thanks to My brother and his lady for helping me mindStorm the name for my new YouTube series… because I was calling it “Salem Off the Record” but “This Wicked Old House” is a much funnier title…

Take a look at the intro episode - the first episode is coming out Friday on my YouTube channel - www.YouTube.com/c/bostonrobb

Which City? The Witch City

June 10, 2022  /  Rob Stevens

Salem may be on of the greatest places on earth. Tons of family friendly things to do, wicked quaint scenery, historical tragedies, and lots of haunted locations - off the record.

So I wanted to introduce people to this little piece of paradise (as long as you weren’t accused of being a witch in the late 1600s). Yes, people know about Salem - but do they actually know about it - like Salem exists all year round - not just in October.

And I’m doing these guided virtual tours on my YouTube channel - make sure you subscribe.

It’s Electric…

June 09, 2022  /  Rob Stevens

There’s a lot more EV’s out there than just Tesla… I know Tesla gets a lot of attention but I found this Electric Vehicle start up from California and it looks amazing… it’s unfortunate that helping the planet is priced out of the majority of peoples budgets (Raise Wages). But if I was in a position to choose, I’d pick this EV. The Rivian R1S

Mr. MrBeast

June 03, 2022  /  Rob Stevens

I was wicked fortunate to interview for MrBeast. Unfortunately, during the interview I was a space cadet. Only hours later I found out my brain fog was from Covid.

Uh if Mr MrBeast or anyone that works for him is seeing this, I’d love a second chance.

Invisible

May 31, 2022  /  Rob Stevens

It’d be nice if you could see the wind. In my younger years, I experienced life enhancements that allowed for super human abilities like seeing sounds.

And I’m sure there’s a scientific reason behind why our ears ring, but I’m convinced it’s the spirit world (which exists on a much higher energy vibration than we do) trying to contact us. Ever wonder if spirits are using normal equipment to get out attention? We use paranormal equipment, so are they using normal equipment? They must want to make contact once in a while right?
