Living With Naked Cowboy

Living With The “NAKED COWBOY”
…Never a Dull Moment!

By Cindy Fox

His name is Robert Burck and that’s what I call him. Most people call him “Naked” or “Hey Cowboy”. Although, when we visit his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, his family and friends refer to him as “Bobby”, which sounds even stranger to me than “Cowboy”.
We met three years ago on ellipticals when one of my clients introduced him to me as “Robert, you know, the Naked Cowboy”. I was clueless and asked him if that was the name of his band. Boy, was I in for a shock!
We usually talked about working out, different philosophies, motivational books, and the fact that we were both too driven and independent to be “tied down” in a relationship. Well here we are three years later, living together in an “interdependent”, romantic relationship, completely supportive of each other.
During my first Mardi Gras, after being together a few months, I walked down Bourbon Street with him as “Naked Cowboy” and that was the first time it hit me that I was dating a celebrity! I thought only people in the NY area knew him, but people from all over the U.S. kept stopping us to take a photo with him. I was completely overwhelmed at the magnitude of it all!
By our next trip together, a convention in Chicago, he had me dressed up as his “Cowgirl”. That was the most fun I ever had at a convention! It was a great networking opportunity for me too, since I had just filmed my first fitness video, The Method Cardio Flexband Workout and the vendors were from all over the world. I was dropping cards left and right.
His rebellious, aggressive nature brings out my “alter-ego” while we’re away because I’m normally very “grounded” with three kids and my own career. On a typical day, he gets to go to Times Square to “do his thing” and then come home and do “the family thing”. I think he feels security in that since he travels a lot.
Being Naked Cowboy’s “significant other” has allowed me to travel to Japan last year when “Match.com” hired him and put us up in first class accommodations. We recently went to Seattle, WA for the anniversary of “Cowgirls, Inc”. I got to be in the recording studio while he recorded “Nothin’ to Do With Love” for TMR Records in Nashville, as well as some of the production of his first CD by 4Sight Music Production in NYC, which is almost finished. Being new to playing a guitar, I find the process interesting.
Had I met Naked Cowboy at a time in my life when I was not as secure with myself, I would’ve probably been jealous quite often. Now, when the women throw themselves at him, I grab the camera from their hands and take the photo for them while he squeezes their butt. How much more supportive can I be?

Jeff Shirrippa, Random Acts of Kindness

Random Acts of Kindness - by Jeff Shirrippa

Let's start this off with a question, I want you to take a moment and really think about this: For what reasons would you go out of your way to be kind to a stranger???.... This is not a complicated question by any means, yet people always struggle to quickly come up with an answer that they sincerely believe in (you're not the only one!). I myself need to sit down and write this whole damn thing out just to reaffirm it in my own brain. At the risk of sounding like a hippie, I believe that the vast majority of people in this world are good hearted (note: I did not say intelligent) & deserve to be happy. With this in mind, the core reason to commit Random Acts of Kindness is to make others feel good.
A true Random Act of Kindness can only be accomplished with pure sincerity. Regardless of the time and effort you put into a good deed, the end result is based around the "connection" that you feel with the other person. This exchange of energy can range from a deep-meaningful conversation, a genuine compliment, or even just making solid eye contact and following it up with a warm & receptive smile… Having good manners and being polite is a necessary starting point. But in order to really connect with someone, you need to find the goodness inside of them, and truly justify wanting to see them happy because of it. This "enhanced-perception" is extremely easy to practice & holds unlimited opportunities to promote your own happiness while interchangeably giving positive energy to those around you. Being the unlimited fountain of knowledge that my Grandmother is, when I was done with my longwinded explanation of Random Acts of Kindness, she smiled and perfectly summarized this entire thing in one breath: "The Lord takes care of those whom take care of themselves. This is because you must love yourself before you can truly love anyone else"…
In order to implement a routine with a certain habitual frequency, there needs to be a strong driving purpose behind your actions. The first step is to pinpoint our purposes and determine whether we are operating as efficient as possible. If you were to break down every decision that you have ever made, they would logically be balanced between two purposes- making yourself happy (self benefit) or selflessly doing good for others (altruism). Without getting caught up in semantics, let's agree that we all have a set of beliefs that govern our actions, which are intended to lead us toward fulfilling our needs. These beliefs are typically based upon our interpretation of past experiences. Therefore, actions/decisions that resulted in any type of pleasure we will pursue in the future, while those which brought us pain we will avoid like a whore in church. This statement is universal; we all have different opinions & perceptions, but they all follow this basic philosophy. The most extreme examples of this are suicide bombers. These sick bastards truly believe that they are committing a noble act in which will be rewarded in the afterlife. These ideologies bring them strong enough pleasure to rationalize blowing themselves up along with innocent bystanders.
If only we could practice our own beliefs with equal passion. A phrase that has been preached for 2007+ years "Love thy neighbor". Regardless of the vast differences, all religions fundamentally teach that doing good for others is the ultimate form of righteousness, and the only true way to be unified with God. When we are directly & selflessly responsible for instilling happiness into someone, God rewards us with a warm & gratifying sense of peace which lifts our spirits and breeds more positive energy…This growing energy is often referred to as karma. Uniquely, this energy is the only exchange in which you always gain from giving. The law of attraction dictates that you get what you give out... "Do unto others as you would want done unto you". We all want others to be kind to us, and have our lives filled with positive experiences. It's amazing how we get caught up with life's bullshit, and are so focused on ourselves that we forget that one of first step towards enhancing our own "state" is by helping to improve someone else's. Essentially these kind actions are both the cause and effect of your own well-being, which is constantly recycling itself & growing stronger with each new act. Christmas is the best example of this. There's no coincidence that the happiest day of the year is also the one day dedicated to giving the most "Joy to the world". Unfortunately every day doesn't feel like Christmas because we all commonly mistake comfort & complacency for pleasure, and nervousness & "fear of the unknown" for pain. This is where the root of our hesitations and limitations are born and raised.
Ever notice that within a couple moments of interacting with a stranger you can feel their energy. Whether positive or negative, you can sense how brightly their "inner glow" is shining. Obviously we are most typically drawn to people who radiate the most positive energy. Unfortunately this law of attraction can make us neglect those who could benefit from our attention the most. We all know these people, they go throughout their day totally pissed off and looking miserable, giving out negative vibes, and receiving nothing but negativity in return. Hell, we are all "that guy" every once in a while, sometimes shit happens and gets us down. People who are in a deep negative state require a stronger connection in order to be positively impacted. But just like anything else, the greater the effort, the greater the reward. These are the opportunities where you go beyond the simple act of creating positive energy in someone, and truly have an affirmative influence on their lives.
Being that I am a Libra and gotta balance shit out, we're going to conclude this as "Random Acts of Kindness, while Keepin It Real". There are a lot of rude bastards out there, & I'll be the first to say they could all really benefit from a vicious scolding... While we want to endorse positive energy, we can't be pussies and allow people to take advantage of our optimism and mistake our kindness for weakness. Energy is a like a magnet, the positive would not exist without the negative. If we can not embrace our negative energy we will fall neutral, and never be able to fully connect with our positive energy. There are moments in which you must use your negative energy in order to create positive energy. For example, I find it's more effective when you abusively explain to someone why they are a piece of shit, rather than being directly confrontational. Ideally this will break their state and have enough impact to lighten their spirits &/or neutral them out. An asshole just being an asshole will have a lot to think about later when they are reminiscing about being verbally dissected & humiliated. This is usually more effective than just saying something intelligent like "Go fuck your mother!" More significantly, a good person having a bad day can connect with your firm honesty & can open up to you by explaining the cause/source of their negativity (which can always turn into an amazing-heartfelt experience).
At the end of all of this, we are left with 2 very simple choices. You can selfishly choose to not take the extra effort towards selflessly helping others while always wonder why your life is just about as cool as a shitting the bed. Or we can commit Random Acts of Kindness & actively increase the happiness & fulfillment of our precious lives… Let's all take a moment to check our bed sheets and make sure we are currently making the right decisions… If nothing else, I hope that all yall have clean sheets in your future.

Fourth of July is My Birthday

"This country was built by men who believed that living one minute free, was worth more than living a lifetime under subjugation." - Naked Cowboy Dialogue

"George Washington and his army were literally starving to death, freezing to the point of losing limbs in the snow at Valley Forge and watching their brothers keel over dead before their eyes yet still got up and continued to fight and win the freedom that I have today." -Naked Cowboy Dialogue

Yesterday was like so many thousands before, perfect, planned, executed by myself through the power of my self-commanded Word. I read some 'Everyday Zen,' and some Emerson (Cool, a rhyme) and was off to the City. I got there, it's summer, and I carelessly rocked the living shit out of my g-tar for like 6 hours. Strolled from intesection to intersection just gathering thanks, praise and thanksgiving from thousands who seemed to be prophetically saying that it was an unreal circumstance, our meeting, yet my shifting seemed spontaneous and uncalculated. Seems that a lifetime of focus and writing as to how I would singlehandedly spawn revolutions of benefits and triggered awareness of our inborn divinity lined up just as the benevolent Universe would have done. Awesome, both humbling and I told you so, so would say a God independent of myself had there ever been one.
I met up with two guys who just got back from pitching a Naked Cowboy Reality Show in Los Angeles, I let people try and accomplish what they would like to accomplish, yet, didn't I mention that I ain't actually waiting for any talkers to do anything. I'm a doer, and I work with doers. That's what everyone does except the talkers. They spend their time talking with the other talkers. Naked Cowboy Reality Show is up and running and episode 5 will rock your essence. Getting better every time, the switch that will make it the most viewed internet site of all time is being released as we speak, again, kudos to The Man Ron Israel for that perfected set of faithful actions. When Jesus went to Simon, Peter, the apostles, he didn't say, finish up that catch, go tell mommy and daddy and your boss that you'd like to go hang out with some long- haired hippy starting a cult. He said, leave all that shit you call your life behind and follow me. That part of the Naked Cowboy Prophesy will be demonstrated as Ron Israel, so far everyone else, to some degree, is working their day jobs and will soon see what 'Naked Cowboy Dialogue' is all about and what I meant when I said that those closest to the Cowboy would receive the greatest fruits. As of today, Ron Israel Productions has over 17,000 viewers of Naked Cowboy's videos, which included roughly 30,000 plays of Naked Cowboy Music Tracks which would not have been heard except that Ron and Robert work all day on this Mission and do not deviate. Jesus tells a parable of how a wise fisherman took his nets, cast them overboard and pulled up hundreds of little fish and one big fish and without a seconds thought, tossed out the countless little ones, and kept the big fish. Same deal. I ain't knockin' nor am I un-appreicative of the multiple efforts of my blessed team, I'm only pointing to Israel as the one to learn from. If I didn't instruct my team, what kind of leader would I be?
Today is the Fourth of July. What's your plan? It's probably a good possibility that for most, it's BBQ, Beer, Hanging out and shooting Bottle Rockets, cool, ain't complainin', did it myself up to the 8th, maybe 10th grade. Nah, I'm going out to the center of the world and celebrating what it means to be free. It's my birthday. The day 'Freedom' was born by men who knew what it was worth and were willing to 'personally' die for it. Naked Cowboy is the greatest symbol of Freedom ever established. Capitalistic, entrenprenuerial, rugged individualism, self-determination, freedom of expression, equal protection under the law, risk, endless creativity. I look at so many of my brothers and they seek only one kind of bondage after another. Free means free. To do whatever your imagination will allow and to profit by it. I grab ass all day and pick up girls in my arms and play carefree all day and smile and say sweet nothin's in the ears of thousands and make love in the eyes of the entire human race cause 'Real Freedom' will make you that happy. You can be damn sure I'll be out all day celebrating this freedom like I do everyday. It's duty. Duty to do what I would do for nothin, yet, cause it's so profitable in it's example of the truth of being/doing, it is paid beyond anyone's yet conceived boundary of possibility. Don't you worry though, I'm going to expand all that for ya.'
After the city yesterday, I got home, emptied mass cash out of the g-tar and went to the track to run with Gary D, World Famous Model. We actually went to the gym first for like twenty sets, I went through the car wash then we did 5 miles at the track. Gary mentioned, as he farted along the track that he farts all day. Just thought I'd share that. Anyway, I got a call from Mark Ante Sr. in Panama City Beach, Florida. He say's drop everything you're doing and get this book. 'The Laws of Thinking' by Bishop E. Bernard Jordan. Says that whatever I'm doing, this is more important. Says he already sent it to me and that it won't get here till Thursday, and so get it tonight. I got it, I read three chapters, then this morning I come to the 'Law of Writing.' The author goes on to state that writing is the key to bringing spirit into materialization. That writing concentrates one's intentions into this material realm and that it is a contract with God/Yourself as to what you will do. Once again, for all the so called Naked Cowboy fans who have never even read Naked Cowboy Dialogue and who therefore have no Idea who I am, this is exactly why I am who I am. I decided, I commited to paper, I've read the document while exploding on a stair climber or eliptical, or treadmill, fullblast, peak intensity as I've rehearsed that plan executed by God/Myself more times than the combined efforts of all men in reading the Bible, the Koran, the Vedas, etc. put together, if not, I will, cause I AM. This book is right on, and like I've said and will say again, if you want prophecy, get it from me. This book is a must. It it weren't, a man as aware as Mark Ante Sr. would not have been willing to tell me that anything I'm doing would be more important that getting it immediately.
Gaetano and I talked about some cool stuff yesterday. He mentioned that he's doing some cleansing scheme 'created' by Anthony Robbins and his key biologist. As the communicator sent forth from the great divine sourse of all things to replace all would be leaders in the field, I say, to cleanse is to assume first, a dirty state. To deal with effect is always the culprit. I am cause, I am without enemy. I am a perfected state of wholeness, I have no dirt to remove. This awareness I carry forth at all times, looking back wards or forwards is removal of so much Life as I Am.

Read These Words as Your Own

I'm happy to be my own man. I'm happy to know that I determine my experience all day. I"m happy I have spent my whole life faithfully searching so that I can now truly affirm the 'Master Key to all Riches.' I give life, which is totally absolute and without boundary, containing infinite possibilities, it's shape and design. I, with my attention determine, what is, for me. I'm happy, and totally liberated I might add, to know that I can dream up any scenario I choose, and by my will, hold my attention to that scenario which by doing so makes it 'real.' I'm happy to have been brought into these truths, or formulas, that have led to my awareness of 'how it all is.' You may have come to understand it as the power of state and the use of goal-setting, the power of intention, the secret, the holy grail, salvation, the law of cosmic habitforce, or like many, you may be constantly delving into countless different approaches to gain the necessary understanding to finnally take action, and write down, or should I say, conciously choose your path. Cause that's the beauty of it all. In life, which contains all possiblities, you can choose anything by mere decision, followed by a determination to see the fulfillment of the decision. You write out what you wnat, a direction, like a road-map into a particular type of experience you want, great wealth/luxury/loving family/friends/sunny paradise/beach resort/fame/glory/peace/humility/ whatever, it's totally up to you and your conditioned or unconditioned preference. You create visuals and written discriptions of reference experiences that confirm your possession of the type of experiences you want. You feel at all times the appreciation of having already obtained what you want with all the exhuberance that more is always comming (What ye ask for in prayer believing ye have received, ye shall receive). The more you have, the greater your imagination will expand to allow you to expect and feel even more! The road-map that you conciously choose to be on just keeps getting clearer and clearer as you brisk freely down it. Choosing what limitlessly exciting adventures and experiences you wish to expansively live next. I'm happy cause I wrote out a destination for myself with faith and now I live it. It's a destination that is not only the greatest here and now ever stated on paper, I chose King of Kings, Lord of Lords (same one all the masters chose, some literally, other's by renunciation of all that 'this' world had to offer, effectively stating that every particular thing was beneath them, therein gaining authority of the absolute) (Read Naked Cowboy Dialogue for details), and it's a destination that is self-propelling in a state of advancement of all great things at all times. A never ending arrival in perfection, departing for a higher state of perfection that is naturally inbued with the excitement that attends such a journey. I'm unbelievably rich, awesome, and getting richer with no end to what can be had. I'm unbelievably ripped and determined, symetrical beyond art, with no end to what can be created in the direction of physical supremacy. I'm the true friend of mankind and am actively seeking and obtaining the approval of all spiritual worlds and inter-galactic interactions. I'm the most prolific artist of all time with hoards of producers, agents, liscensors, salesmen and desciples working diligently on my behalf and I've not yet begun to create or work to even my simplest capacties. I've learned that all is my creation and so all that I see, hear, taste, feel, smell (5 senses) are of my rank and order, and I've learned to love and admire and coordinate the whole field of coexisting opposites/extremes into a happy, beautiful, divine solidarity that is perfect as is, and I know that perfection reaches eternally into deeper, greater, more fulfilling perfections.

How Is That Possible? Whenever you are not using the phone, it plays a rotation of advertisements (like a screen saver) geared specifically towards your interests, location and needs. The advertisers pay for the right to broadcast these advertisements and that is what pays for your TMR Cellular Phone Service. Like MySpace, your user information is part of your Cellphone Account. It will specify your age, marital status, if you are single and looking, your height, weight, religion, income and any other bits of information you want to include into your profile. Since the device is also a GPS, it will also use your current location as pointer for advertisers to gear their advertising exclusively to you as a consumer. Because of the amazing individualized criteria attached to you as a user, you will not see advertisements that you wouldn't be interested in. They will be geared demographically and geographically to you as an individual. You will also be given coupons and purchase incentives from these advertisers which can be used directly from your TMR2020. So, let's say you're from Nashville, but you've traveled to New York: The TMR2020 knows your location and will send you information on Restaurants, Entertainment, etc. in the New York City area. For example; you may get coupons for $10 off your next meal at "So & So's" Restaurant which is literally across the street from where you are standing at that moment!!!

Keep an eye out for the TMR2020, it will be available for purchase by Summer of 2008!!! DISTRIBUTIVE AND ADMINISTRATIVE CONCEPTS TMR Records does not sign Artist Deals. Instead, TMR Records signs Artists to non-exclusive Song Deals. The Artists can maintain a non-exclusive relationship with TMR and still work on other Artist Ventures and opportunities. All Artists get the same deal. TMR Records pays for the production of the song. The Artist gets 10% of net sales without recoup. There are no advances, there are no additional funds for the artist. This keeps costs down and lowers risk to a minimum. The Artist allows TMR all rights to use their likeness and images for the sale of the song and associated merchandise. TMR Records exclusively holds all worldwide recording rights to that song, forever. TMR Records only sells Digitally Distributed Media. All other physical products are merchandise only (I.E. T-Shirts, Hats, Etc.) and only available online at the TMR Records' Artist Website. The TMR Records website will launch in Fall of 2007 and will include a far bigger picture regarding the Administration and Distribution of Royalties.

We have been researching and developing Digital Distribution Royalty Administration Technology for the last 10 years. The following technologies will be available to all Record Labels & Online Digital Distribution Outlets: We have created a method to attach all payee information to the header of any media file that is sold through digital distribution. This allows the administrator of the song, during the mastering process, to attach all payee percentages and accounting information to the file. Each time the song gets downloaded, it pings these payee percentages to our servers which collects the payment information, dynamically updates the royalties of that payee and dynamically pays each payee from the point of sale in realtime. This technology eliminates the need for accounting, administration and distribution of royalties as each payee has the ability to withdraw their earnings at anytime by direct deposit to their bank account. By 2009, Dynamic Royalty Distribution direct to payee bank accounts will occur in realtime from the point of sale for a small monthly fee without the need of withdrawing funds from the administrative servers. TMR Records is leading the way to the future & success of our Music Industry. TMR Records is The New Medium for The New Millennium! PLEASE CHECK OUT ALL OF THESE AWESOME TMR ARTISTS: (Got to www.tmrrecords.com )

Todd Mark Rubenstein opened TMR Records in 1997. Todd is a 25 year veteran of the music industry. As an artist, he has 37 of his own CDs currently available worldwide in International Distribution. TMR Records is an Independent Record Label that is designed upon unconventional means.

Hot Life Giving Summer

Deep into some Chinese Philosophy, Taoism, a book called 'The Tao is Silent,' by Raymond Smullyan, I come across a story of a guy born of great wealth and privelege. He has become jaded towards wealth as a result of his rebellion against his parents in general, probably just the usual claiming of independence from his parents that seems to accompany adolescents in one way or another. Anyway, the guy decides to renounce any desire for wealth, fame and/or special privelege. He is so totally dedicated to this cause, sitting around doing absolutely nothing, smokin' pot, drinking, basically, anything that would be of no use to society from the base of reference of his parents. Well, time passes and he begins to gather friends who think he's got the right idea. His preaching of his do nothing philosophy comes into greater and greater acceptance among all who hear. Next thing you know, he's the leader of armies of young followers, he's writing books, he's famous and making boatloads of cash.
Carlos Castaneda talks of 'not doing.' He describes the process of doing things for no reason to break the endless streams of purposeful action so automatic as to be contemptible and slave driving. Examples include picking up a gigantic rock, pushing, wheeling, carrying it for hundreds of yards, then returning it to it's original location without telling anyone. The practice meant to break one out of the constant stream of incessant activity that you seemingly have no choice but to do. I have a quote in my 'Naked Cowboy Dialogue' which states, 'the entire life of Naked Cowboy is an example of Not-Doing' based on this premise.
Georges Ionovich Gurjieff, an awaked man of sorts, would take his chelas (disciples) out and force them into intolerable work and exercise to cause them to run up against their self imposed limitations. To force them to go way beyond their self created mind identified realities for similar purposes. When you sign up to work with a Guru, and he tells you to put a sand bag on your head and walk up a hill for 7 hours and not drink water and not receive any recognition and you're a 'Fortune 500 Executive,' you start to become someone else.
Patanjali, of the 'Yoga Sutras,' I think it was him, basically had you pay attention to your breathing, inhale, exhale, for the rest of your life. Try it. Do whatever you do, and pay attention to your breath. It is Enlightenment if you can do it. Most people last a minute or two and that's it. Something so basic as to add body awareness, to ground one in the present, yet, no can do cause you're an undisciplined pussy!
The sitting practice of Zen, used to explore the mind is an approach wherein by sitting for prolonged periods of time, one discovers the basic functions and habituations of the mind. By isolating oneself and doing nothing, listening to the internal dialogue, one comes to know oneself, to discover the programming that is operating in one's life. Long period used to help the practitioner what is, without the screen of the mind which, left to itself, keeps one from knowing reality directly.
So I'm out in the streets of Manhattan today, as I am everyday, it's in the high 90's. I'm sweatin through my fifth hour. Just mechanically doing nothing (Not Doing), rapidly looking in all different directions so as to not fixate on anything long enough to judge or analyze it (staying out of the mind). I'm pushing far beyond any kind of comfort zones as to discipline myself to remain centered by my will. 'Not-Doing' had clearly become a very recognizable 'Doing' that is in fact being reproduced world-wide. I've created a mental construct so as to make sure I'm not using my mind? My will is so strong to not be systematized, and I am systematically doing it without the will to stop. I'm so conscious of everything that I'm doing, yet, to be mentally aware and identified with what you're doing is to be unconcious. What the freak?

East meets West in a Man of Balance

Today was awesome, as usual, as expected, as demanded, as personally commanded. Multiple e-mails asking me to be the Father of their children, a full day of unbelievably honorable blessings from multitudes of people singing praise and thanksgiving for my services to the World. Surely I know what I've done to be here today. I least I 'think' I do, and if that is only illusion, fine, yet it is as real as anyone else's thoughts on the matter. I'm reading several books at one time right now, that translates into 4 separate books, about an hour and a half each for a total of 6 hours a day. These influences that are inhabiting my outook/perspective are 'Plutarch's Greek and Roman Lives,' which is an in depth look at Solon, Themistocles, Pericles, Alcibiades, Alexander (all Greeks), and Caius Marius, Sulla, Pompey, Caesar, Cicero (all Romans). This influence is surely mind-made if you will as they all are simply unbelieble acounts of valor and intelligence, actively applied and well manuvered. Contrast that with the coversations between Arjuna and Krisha in the 'Bhagavad Gita,' 'Everyday Zen' by Charlotte Joko Beck, and 'Sai Baba, Man of Miracles,' and you've got a real ping-pong game going on in your awareness. In these we have the essense of most Eastern Philosophy/Religion with their pitting of the 'mind' as the enemy, the programmed self-defense mechanism, the misapplied rudder on the ship of your life. Just sit for long periods of time. Get past the mind. Silence, the Gap, the space between your thoughts. No matter how far back you go, go, go, keep going, you'll get to this reality that is actual, that is not an ideal, but what is. I get it. I've gotten it a hundred times. I've emptied myself relentlessly for years. I've turned nothingness into a mind-made something and then back again. Yet, I still find it necessary to delve in again to find any residue of left over insincerity. Today I attened a funeral of a neighbor. All say she's a great woman. I think I talked to her three times in my life, all great stuff. Church was loaded. I went in surrendered, open, humble, carefree. I sat and watched, nothing on my mind, just witnessing. It was the 'Immaculate Conception Church' in Secaucus. Within like ten minutes I felt small, dwarfed, teary eyed and vulnerable. Fuck that. Get me the hell out of this mournful trap. 'I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word....' Hey, by this time I again found myself not in a position to 'live and live more abundantly,' but weak, submissive, all that humble-pie shit. I ran the freak out, went to Times Square and had the time of my life. Got there just in time to be in the new Eddie Murphy Movie, coming out next summer I believe, called, 'Starship Dave.' I shot massive photos, a couple of video gigs for spontaneously lucky entrenpreneurs, a major stray camera who interviewed those around me and came into a somewhat long dialogue with a man who could not tell me enough how much I am a genius and that he saw me as a beam of light in the world, doing what every man should find natural and poetic. Point is, I'm only interested in doing what I like. Who the hell ain't. How much time so many waste in thinking that morality and spirituality is a bad of obligations. Also go to the same ol' affirmation that all the forces that are, were, or will be are now. Salvation is immediate!!! I am totally aware that what is, I am. So, not to sound redundant, I'm God, Cosmic Conciousness, Nirvanic Bliss, etc. If the whole world and all in it is shit, than I'm shit. Does that help you? If you believe that there is this world, and Heaven, then your God made shit, fine.
Some more way to look at what people have said with regard to these topics. For example, there are four ways to Unity Conciousness/Kindom Conciousness/Enlightenment
Action - Such a concentrated attention on what you're doing that the actor is no more, just action. Monks, anyone who loses themselves in what they're doing, Consciously.
Meditation - you silence your mind so absolutely that you're no more. Just Om's and stuff.
Wisdom/Knowledge - you really understand that whether your're rotting flesh, dust, or a mortal being, whatever form, you're part of what is and you have no preference, you know that in some way or another, you're immortal, you're here, you're part of it all, unified.
Affective Mode - Here you love something so much that you are no more. Christ so loved us that His live was insignificant, we were all that mattered. You may have a child and feel that same about it.
If you really observe yourself, you'll see that you are all of these at different times and all paths lead to unity. In realilty, all is unified. It's merely the mind that in chopping it up into bite size, linear configurations wherein you keep leaving your center, and coming back to it again. No mind and all would just be perfect unity, but how freakin' boring would that be. Self-Awareness is the polarity that makes it so colorful and adventurous. Now If you don't know the Unity, we then, you're on a treadmill constantly thinking you're gonna get somewhere. If you know that no matter where you think you are, you're right where you're supposed to be, and you're enjoying a little trip, after trip, after trip, then you're like your favorite role model, brother, and tour guide, Naked Cowboy.
Christianity - The Kingdom of Heaven is Within You.
Islam - Those who know themselves know their God.
Buddhism - Look within, you are the Buddah.
Vedanta - (Part of Hinduism) Atman (individual conciousness) and Brahman (universal conciousness) are one.
Yoga - (Part of Hinduism) God dwells within you as you.
Confucianism - Heaven, Earth, and Human are one body.
Upanishads - (Part of Hinduism) By Understanding the self, all this Universe is known.
The Way of the Bodhisattva (Buddhists of all Traditions) is that of Love, Compassion, Generosity and Patience. I think is was first started in India then on to Tibet. Basically what I gather is that they renounce individual Enlightenment and vow to work for the liberation of all. To attain Buddahood for their sake. This is like the story of Franklin Merrell-Wolf wherein he attains separate realizations that were entirely liberating, beyond this world, free, yet, still unsatifactory in knowing that his fellow men/women would be left behind. Therefore his renunciation was more favorable and attempts must be made to be/make or create a symbol to 'point' to the beyond for their sake, knowing that the beyond was there. Well this is what I'm talking about. Total renunciation of the mind, total denial of this world, total liberation from it. That don't even sound a bit fun. For me this world is liberation. I love it. I don't want to escape it. You can all deny your lives and die and go where ever you want. I love it down here. Got no problem with any of it. If it's a rat race, great, I'm King Rat. I don't need to see miracle or magic shows to believe. I am here now, living, loving, hating, swearing, blessing, it's all good baby. I don't want to escape. The preacher talked for an hour about how great death is, well, see ya!!!!!
The whole 'Enlightenment' section of the book store is like the 'Get Rich' section. Just another disguise. I wanna find another person who walks around all day saying 'Go to hell God,' endlessly, repititiously, in order to prove to himself that nothing we can say or do can separate us from what is, and that words are merely abstractions that only have the meaning we give them. That would be a courageous Holy Man who knew his superiority to all those man made fictions that now take on more reverence that the man himself who created them.

Red Carpet Must

Last night's Red Carpet Event for the grand opening of 'Ripley's Believe it or Not' was awesome. I pulled up in a 'stretch limo' and walked down a press line that was simply phenomenal. Conservatively, 50-70 cameras, 5-7 television interviews, and the whole museum filled with Times Square, 'Theatre District' personnel. All very cool, professional, highly sophisticated and much appreciation shown to Naked Cowboy and value added to New York City. Constant testimonials of pride and respect, very humbling, and affirmative. Some column writers from 'Gothamist,' 'Gawker,' 'Villiager,' 'Daily News,' 'New York Post,' 'New York Times,' you get the point, very incredible experience. I got photos taken with many, 'Jennifer McCarthy' a highlight, very sweet, endearing woman. Walking out of the event, in the night of Times Square a major frenzy. Stopped by 'Hard Rock Cafe' for massive crowd interraction, then 'Planet Hollywood.'
Today began in Marketing mode. Listening to 'Joe Polish,' 'Genius Network' and an interview with 'Joe Sugarman.' He was the main guy involved with marketing the 'Blueblocker Sunglasses' and many marketing successes. Talking about psychological triggers to making a positive purchasing decision. I'll list some from memory, with application and try no to spit out verbatim the entire book as I've read them all, everybody's, countless times.
1. Guilt - sending a nickel in the mail and asking to save starving children or standing out in the freezing cold in underwear.
2. Involvement - getting prospective client to fill out a questionaire or grabbing an individual by the ass cheek, burying your lips into the side of their head while forcing them to grab your tit or ass.
3. Curiosity - making a catchy headline like, 'Stop, stopping' or standing in the middle of an intersection in you underwear in the middle of a megapolis playing a guitar for no apparent reason.
4. Satisfaction Conviction - guaranteeing a return of all money spent on a product plus interest or effectively saying, grab my ass, laugh at me, take my photo and continue to laugh at me, either way, your taking my product with you and whether you love or hate me, you're effectively working for me from the moment of awareness til death, or renewed life.
5. Continuity - having a subscription that comes monthly to give ongoing support for your positive buying decision or knowing with certainty, that the commercial landscape will continually proffer reference and visual display of reference to your initial awareness of Naked Cowboy guaranteeing continued uplifting thoughts and actions based upon them.
6. Story Telling - Self explanatory. Go to writing section of nakedcowboy.com to read the greatest success story ever told or stand within ten feet of me at any time humans are present and listen to the remarkable stories that proliferate around me as they do all legends.
7. Patentabililty/Trademarkability - Who can compare to Naked Cowboy? Who cares, I home many. Send em' out in mass. I'm here on Earth to inspire others to 'whip out their balls of steel.'

Naked on 6/20/07

Hurray, the 'Naked Cowboy Reality Show' began today, episode 1, 'The Family.' Ron Israel, the Producer and Chief Executive Officer as far as I'm concerned has got it down. We will put out an average of two episodes a week for a season of 20 episodes and I will do the full blown promotion of the show my damn self and I will bring all around to me, watch me. I've got a bad ass, 'Naked Cowboy Reality Show on Youtube' guitar that will be showcased to an easy million people over the next three days alone between 15 hours of Times Square and a Red Carpet Event at the Grand Opening of 'Ripley's Believe it or Not.' When you create product for the Naked Cowboy, I sell it. That's how it works. Put up or shut up. I've proven my capability to sell by outdoing anything like me in the history of mankind. How many things can you name like me? None. See, it is easy to make that statement. My Myspace Robots will introduce several thousand people a week to the show and those numbers are going exponential with the release of the 'Naked Cowboy' singles in the hands of radio networks spanning the globe as you read this, compliments of my Brothers Gaetano (World Famous Producer with the best MoJo, Freakin,' Monsta, Gangsta, rapola ever, Caelum Productions/4Sight Music Productions) and Lee Evans (World Famous real-deal, jammin' on stage since the 20's with dudes like Sammy Davis, Kenny G, Smokey Robinson, Jimmy Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Barry White, all the cool cats, owner and operator of Jambox Studios, New York City's number one studio, located Mid-town). These guys are finalizing production on the Naked Cowboy Album that will come out before September 2007 and will create sales and distribution records that leave the 'White Album' in the poorest section of East L.A.
Currently listening to some new C.D.s from the 'Joe Polish Genius Network,' a cool ass interview with T. Harv Eckart, author of 'Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.' As I fully and sincerely expect to blow Bill Gates and Warren Buffet of the financial landscape with my massively accumulating wealth, 54, 53 billion, respectivly, I've just set up a new 'Cash Management Account, to add to my I.R.A., all with my financial institution of choice, Merrill Lynch. Incidentally, I did a piece on Money Management yesterday with MN1.com, 'Market News First' out of Dallas, Texas and I got in a great plug for Merrill Lynch and my chief money/asset manager, 'Jason Piepmeir, out of Jacksonville, Florida. Anyone looking to have their money grow like a weed, call him at 904-472-3032. Dude is a money magnet, a wizard, a truly great hearted and hard working honest young genius.
Today I read Emerson for two hours, went to City on a plain Grilled Chicken Breast and did 4 solid hours, no breaks, no water, no nothin. Went and had Chinese Chicken and Broccolli, all steamed, one water. Got home and built a Youtube.com guitar. Met Gary D., world famous model who ran 6.5 of the 12 miles I ran, ate Chicken breast and steamed Brown rice, now here. Machine mo-foooooooooooooo. A guy at the gym yesterday stopped to tell me that he'd never seen anyone slaughter legs like I do (5 sets of 110 reps on leg press with spotter for last 30 reps) and mentioned that he lived in Jersey City. He couldn't believe I lived in Secaucus for 8 years and had only been to roughly 4 locations within a mile, and to Times Square every day with no deviations. That I lived in the Royal Motel for 5 years and went from there to the city, every day, spring, summer, winter, fall, every day, no interruptions, never even took my suitcase in, paid $50 a day. Focus, Focus, Focus I told the young lad. My life offers me exactly what I ask of it, I need neither look to the left or the right.

Why Am I So Wise?

"Every revolution began as a blasphemy" -Albert Einstein

"Truth goes through three phases. First it is rediculed, second it is violently opposed, third it is accepted as self evident." -Churchill

Brand Recognition is merely image proliferation. We are all representative of our own ideas, or at least we think we are. Some men live as representatives of other men's ideas, yet that is merely an attempt to place the responsibililty for your decision on someone else. Like Neitzsche say's, 'a student repays a teacher poorly if he remains a student.' One must claim his independence and speak for one's self unlocked of his idolatry of his master. I used to say for example, 'Anthony Robbins says, or Jesus says, or Buddah claimed,' you get the point. Now I say. I, and you, and all people pick and choose what is 'their truth and they live by it whether they take authoritative responsiblity for it or not. Most people have it shoveled out to them as a neat little religion or nationalism or family heritage and close the door there and will kill you if you cross them, all in the name of God. Back to why I am so wise. What I've done as Naked Cowboy was to go to the center of the busiest locations in the world, city epicenters, where I couldn't be missed, yet would not be taken seriously, and I effectively embedded my Image into the imagination of Mankind. I came is a ludicris fashion so as not to be taken seriously, giving myself nearly 10 years now to saturate Humanity with my idea, my representation. I played a role that couldn't be taken at it's face value, and now must be. You see there is another factor that comes in with ideas. Their relevancy will speak for themselves by the impact they harness. The inherent power of an idea will speak for itself and create the channel it deserves based on it's God-given merit. "Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come."

I think everyone has heard that word of mouth advertising is the most effective. Always has been, always will be. Again, access to the people is essential in building true Brand Recognition cause Brands, to be really powerful, require the emotional attachment of personal communication. The 'celebrities' who are protected by an army of publicists, body gaurds, agents, managers, yes men, are blockaded from their true power source and narrowed down into tiny little stereotypes that have marginal impact in a global, even, interplanetary atmosphere of influence. Fame, or celebrity is usually harnessed by those who want it. Of course you can be a freak of nature golfer, Tiger Woods, or a freak of nature basketball player, Michael Jordan, and that is awesome, and then endorsements follow and then the, 'I want the money, privilege, etc, that goes with fame syndrome that accompanies that, but that is fame alltogether different from Fame as influence. That you might call fame by circumstance and not by design? Let the reader know that I merely write and think to better explore fine lines of analysis for my own entertainment and understanding. Fame is by definition, distinction. The best at each individual thing means fame is some respect, and that is what I want to point out in the above depiction of talent having a stong foothold in the garnering of fame of that depiction. Naked Cowboy is concious fame, going out specifically as fame. Fame from day one. Talent, acceptance, money, reputation, God, all that irrelevant. I simply know that what I wanted is to be King. To be King and for me King is Fame. The man who would be the Light unto the world simply be merit of being the most visible, most honest, most in love with the state and condition of being man. No need for attachment to Musical talent, German Heritage, a free country, a family of my own, just me, just me and me and me. Nothing standing between me and the world. Nothing to obscure my innocence, nothing to make me better than you, just pure legitimacy, stripped of all pretension, and just like you. A man who need do nothing. A free man. No shame, no guilt, no purpose but to be. A man who would fulfill all prophecy, serve all of mankind, would create meaning in the world, etc, without anything but belief in my inborn divinity, which I've never questioned.

Surely there are many egomanics who will judge and condemn me as they please. They are not defining me. They are defining themselves. Yes the multitudes still see a 'real world' out there and have somehow forgot that they are the creator of every meaning, every situation, everything they have ever experiened. Interpreters are they who got fixated on an interpretation. Believers not in themselves, but in what they've been told out of fear that they must believe. The Fall of Man is the idea that you have set up your own account separate from God, yet God is all there is, was or ever will be. I'm just stickin' to the truth and knowing that I and the Father are One and that I am therefore incapable of 'wrong' move. Yes, by merely doing whatever the hell I want, without limitation (sin), I am perfect as my Father in Heaven. (For those of you who got your theocracy from your uninformed mommy and daddy, 'Earth' is a term used to indicate the physical realm, 'Heaven' indicates the mental realm. It's the same phrase as 'as ye think, so shall ye be.' Another one? 'the roots determine the fruits.')

Where do you get all your energy? How do you get youger every day, run in excess of 70 miles in a week and work out in the hot burning sun, and freezing winters and just pinched between seven lanes of traffic unprotected from the elements and all that crazy lunatics that attack the rest of us? Easy, spreading the Word of God will do that. I am an adorer of truth. The Kingdom of Heaven that is within you is what you really, really, really, really want to do. It's your self-doubt that causes you to falter, to exhaust yourself, to keep you from taking action. I am inexhaustible cause I have total reliance on the truth. There is no limit to the creator, I am the creator. If you got limitations, you created those. You're the creator too.

Wealth is a symbol of the value you create. The Law of Wealth states that you are paid in direct proportion to the value you create according to the market place. Literally, what you're worth, is what your worth. As within' so without. I'm banking entirely on this. Work against me and you work against yourself. I am your testifyer. I am your hope. I take on this idea entirely. I am known to all mankind and all that there is, was or will be. I will represent this for eternity, I am eternity. As you read this I am proliferating my image and this all encompassing idea that I as my image represents. Try and stop it? To take me out would create the greatest martyredom ever established in manking, to let me alone, would do the same. The idea you carry about with you is who you are. Who could possibly want to f--k with me?

The Non-derivative Reality

Just got back from Times Square, roughly 6 p.m. on Saturday, extremely comfortable weather, 75 degrees, sunny, breezy. A guy showed up today in a blue Speedo, guitar, dress shoes (black), a dressy, Robinhood looking hat, and just singing up a storm. Had a nice size camera following him around as he took photos and did, basically the same thing I do, just across the street. He came over after about two hours and said hello. His name is Vince Diamond, from NYC, maybe I'll be seeing him daily, maybe it was promotional, pretty cool I guess. I certainly expect to see naked men with guitars all over the world as the revolution takes off. It's just such a freakin' great idea.
I'm supposed to recieve a call tonight from a guy named Andrew Wright who I met previously on the 'JV and Elvis Show.' Andrew was an entrepreneur who made himself their producer by persistence and now has a few on-line reality show gigs he works with, I believe it involves professional wrestlers, will update as I know more. Says he's gonna take his career to the next level by getting Naked Cowboy Reality show up and running as he as two networks who want to hear his pitch. He's gonna shoot me tomorrow, Sunday and Thursday next week at a Red Carpet event at the grand opening of 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not' in Times Square, 42nd Street, with Carmen Electra who I worked with on a show called 'Living Large' some years back. He will make a pilot over two days of shooting and sell it the following week? Got two other crews doing the same type of thing with totally unique concepts that I was asked not to disclose, one pitching in California on the 20th, the other in NYC as well, all three with nothing but verbal agreements that I would be the talent if they get a show. Writing is on the wall, Naked Cowboy Reality Show will be connected so soon you can easily visualize it. I've got staples who are gonna meet with other staples in two weeks, and brand new guys who will shoot today, sell tomorrow and ask for nothing but that I'm interested in having it handed to me free of attachment. Awesome, people like myself who live in the daytight present and will either demonstrate of starve. (Incidentally, the 'JV and Elvis Show, got canceled and the JV and Elvis fired around the time Don Imus was fired. Don Imus for making off-color jokes about Blacks, African Americans, however I'm allowed to refer to the group of my brothers who happen to have skin color different from my own, and JV and Elvis for off-color remarks about the Chinese. Now NYC has 'K-Rock' again, the old Howard Stern network.
I'm taking the day off from training today as I went on a date with Cindy last night and want to rebuild. We left the house around 7p.m. and ran to Secaucus High School track for a while, then to the outskirts of the Millcreek Shopping Mall, then past the new Olive Garden on the other side of town, around Niko Niko, G.N.C., the Holiday Inn, up and around County Avenue, then all around the 'Outlet Stores,' Panasonic and back. About 10 miles. What a woman. An hour and forty minute orgasmic, sweaty adventure of muscle conditioning excellence. Then we came home and read books for about three hours, awesome.
On the subjects of books, I'm in Franklin Merrell-Wolff's 'Transformations in Conciousness,' the Metaphysics and Epistomology. Unbelievable. This moring, after two days of breezing through the uncommon understanding of Naturalism, Materialism, Positivism, Vitalism, Empiric Voluntarism, Pramatism, Gnosticism, Idealism, Mysticism and then FMW's Introceptualism I was simply 'Nirvanic' or as they say, 'Blown Out.' All of my soft ware was undesirable in relation to the newfound sense of wonder created by so many new channels for thought to travel in. Of course I labored through this whole book twice in the past and learned through heavy concentration in order to be able to just rehearse it as I do today. Like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Frederich Neitzsche, Deepak Chopra, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, Immanuel Kant, J.W. Von Goethe, Hegel, Plato, 'A Course in Miracles,' J. Krishnamuri, the Canonical Gospels, the 'Gospel of Thomas' and the rest of them, I built deeply imbedded dendrites in which I can now easily swim through multiple rivers of conciousness without getting stuck in them. Today's realization, all new yet surely some form of repeat, was that all things are derivative. All these channels of thought, every idea, all reasoning, anything thinkable is derivative. Only the moment that is right now, and all that is possible in it, is non-derivative. Not projecting or reflecting, just being, as is. I can perceive it is chilly when it is 60 degrees if it has been 90 degrees for days, yet perceive it is warm at 60 degrees if it's been in the 30's for days. The perception changes though the objective phenomenon is the same. I can find it to be 'good' that I'm giving a dollar to a homeless man one day, yet evil the next. Clearly the conception has changed yet the objective phenomenon has remained the same. And consider, do we perceive things and then form concepts, or are concepts already existent a priori as Kant say's and perceptual experience merely a means to discovering them? Then, is there in fact a mode of conciousness completely outside of experience, a form of Transcendental Conciousness that makes all subject-object conciousness, or egoic Conciousness merely a band, or fragment only seeming to exist in a lower vibratory realm of awareness not yet awakened and where is the base to exist if one is to really be able to live wholly and without 'sinning' or 'missing the mark,' 'missing the point' of life. 'Gaining the whole world yet losing the soul.' You get the point. I've been all over the map of possible interpretation and inward penetration and so whose calling who what, 'Spic, Jew-boy, Knappy headed, Honky, is so freakin' simple minded, and to think that we are to punnish and reward people in society based on external, empirical, material, surface level criteria is pathetic. I'm the choice maker, not the choices I make. I'm the awareness, not what I'm aware of. I'm the experimenter, not the choice of experiment. I'm the thinker, not the conclusions of my past thoughts. All this is derivative. I am the non-derivative. I am. I am that I am. 90 percent of the people in this world would claim I'm wrong, the same 90 percent that would need a dictionary and two college professors to define and explain most of the terminology I've discussed above.

New York City Objective

Been back from Nashville for 4 days now, Times Square daily. It's been awesome as all hell, very busy, mass photos and press as always. Nearly every day there are photographers literally waiting for me to arrive and begin shooting immediately upon my arrival. Today I walked over to Manny's Music to get stings and picks and was promised again that they would like to do some promotional work with me. Some guys from the Howard Stern Show came and took some audio feeds for Father's Day, stuff about 'thanking dad for not pulling out.' So juvenile, yet, who cares. I really don't know if he's with Sirius, XM Radio, or what, glad to still be hearing from them in some capacity. MTV has been shooting daily right in front of my axis as the show TRL must be shooting and airing in the afternoon now? Planet Hollywood is of course a big draw to the area as well and the doormen are always waving and encouraging people to come over for a good butt squeeze. I'm expecting a massively busy weekend cause, well, they always are. I was away last weekend shooting with Ron Israel Productions, 'Behind the Scenes' which will probably have some new youtubes up tonight of our adventure, so I'm totally pumped about herculean crowds with unequalled media potential. I just ran 6 miles at the Secaucus High School, and been working out daily at Atlantis Health and Fitness. I watched most of Nixon, the movie directed by Oliver Stone, featuring Anthony Hopkins and am now re-reading my 'A Pocket History of the United States,' by Allan Nevins and Henry Steele Commager with Jeffrey Morris. It takes you through the entire 400 plus years of American History, from the first colonial settlements, the imperial problem, the revolution and the confederation, the making of the Constitution, National Unity, Jacksonian Democracy, Sectional Struggles, Modern America, the rise of Big Business, Labor and immigration, the Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal, World War II, the Cold War, the Korean War, the John F. Kennedy Era, the Eisenhower Administration, the Ronald Reagan and George Bush years, just incredible. I love going through four centuries of development in world Freedom. So inspiring to know how much has gone into creating the platform on which I stand, and what honor is invested in being responsible enough to fight daily for such a privilege. Countless centuries of single celled organisms to make something venerable enough to leave the water, eventually sit, fly, stand upright, talk, think. Then countless centuries of survival of the fittest, Kings, Rulers by divine right, Landowners ruling based solely on property/wealth, association with the Ruler, the Despot, etc. Then after God know how long, some bad ass courageous dudes get on some huge boats and discover a land the eventually stands for Freedom, Democracy, Representative Government. Now, after another 400 years, Naked Cowboy comes to affirm the height of human development with the pure expression of what a Free man is all about. Maybe I'm reading more into it than is there. I doubt it.

Testimonial File 1

Hi saw you in New York on Sunday.

I was with 3 buddies I didn’t give you any money or take a pic with you. I was one of the 9 out of 10 shmucks you refer to who just sit and look and are embarrassed or to cheap to take a pic with you.

I really don’t understand why I never did get a pic with you to be honest. We stood infront of you for atleast 5 minutes laughing and enjoying your performance. You didn’t miss a beat, your jokes were good, you were friendly to everyone around, you didn’t ask for the money like the other performers. You went beyond what was expected and Gave a lot more out then you took in. You gave everyone who paid more then what they thought they were getting for their money (2 sometimes 3 pics) and you gave others like myself who sat watching a few minutes of solid entertainment and kindness for nothing. What I was most impressed with was that you were in your own reality. Everything around you belonged to you. It was your show and your world and we were just in it. Being In a Sales position myself I really learned a lot from this experience and ever since I have came home back to Canada. I haven’t stopped researching what you are about and watching videos of you on youtube.

On the way home (5 and half hour drive to Kingston Ontario) my friends and I spent a lot of the time wondering exactly what your story was. How long you had been there, how much money you made a day, year. If you were married, where you lived in the city, if you were on any drugs? I told them the first thing I would do when I got home was look you up online and find it all out.

I have spent quite a bit of time on your website. I read your book of prayers, your book where you talk about the day of ecstacy, the storm and a few others and I have skimmed through a bunch of the other stuff as well.

I knew that you had to be have some deep views , figured you were married, thought you brought in atleast 150000 a year. Anyways. When I read more about you on your website I was very happy to learn that your are really into self help books and have read a lot of the same book s that I have- think and grow rich, how to win friends and influence people, tony robbins etc. I was also very pleased to learn that you had such high goals for yourself and have been using some of the same techniques that I am just beginning to use my self such as visualization and journaling to manifest the life that you want to have. You are a great inspiration to me and definitely one of my idols now. When I conduct my meetings with people I admire you are now the newest member to the table (exercise from think and grown rich where you imagine conducting meetings with people you admire and running ideas by them and getting there responses ) which includes people like donald trump, tony robbins.

I watched the power within seminar in Ottawa not to long ago. With Donald trump susan sommers and a bunch of other motivational speakers. One guy inparticular who was there that I go t a lot out of is a guy named jim fannin. I don’t know if you have heard of him but he is called the zonecoach. www.Zonecoach.com He coaches athletes to get into the zone and is paid millions of dollars for this. He has been Arod’s motivational coach for awhile and has took him from the worst batting average in the league to a hall of famer. Anyways a lot of what he teaches you already posses I think. In the you live your life in the zone. Throughout that whole time I saw you you were in the zone, when you go out in freezing cold whether our in the zone. He teaches you to go to bed and wake up with a ultimate vision and act in a zone like fasion all day to achieve that vision. A lot of it like most self help stuff is very similar to think and grow reach and tony robbins but he has a neat twist which you might like with his zone mentality. If you are looking for a new book check out his book life in the zone. You can get it right off his website.

Anyways, I want to apologize for being one of the ones who just sat and watched and didn’t take a picture with you. The next time I am down I will forsure be taking a picture with you and it is getting framed and put on display somewhere in my home or office where I can be sure to tell your story to people and explain to them that you are about so much more then what people see on the street and of your ultimate goal of being the most recognized and greatest entertainer in history. I think you are on your way to getting there. You are symbol of success. I would love to pick your brain and talk to you in person one day. Maybe on my next trip I can get you to do lunch.

Thanks for the Motivation to continue trying to reach my goals.

Nashville Mastered

Down in Nashville, Tennessee, just completed day four here. Recorded 6 more songs with TMR Records and did a showcase, performing all 7 of my other songs with TMR Records at a fabulous club called 'Code Blue' with studio musicians from hell (Chris Nole on Keyboards, Ed Green on Drums, Bob Marenelli on Bass, and the Brazilian Bad Ass Alfons on G-Tar). Lots of people, all very interested in watching the showcase and it just went without a hitch. So freakin' cool, like doing stand-up comedy while singing easy going, awesome country music. One big happy family of Nashville's finest all supporting Naked Cowboy. We had a rehearsal at 'S.I.R.' which stands for studio instrument rentals the day prior and like that facility had a gazillion guitars, amps, drums, brass, everything imaginable, big ass rooms to play, sound boards as big as ping-pong tables, totally fancy and professional as all get out. I've played at 'Cadillac Ranch' each day, rows upon rows of tourists getting what they came to Nashville to get, pictures with a superstar. It's what the town draws people in with the lure of seeing, yet without me, lets face it, in four days, roughly 2000 of them would not have gotten it. I'm honored, the more so cause I've come on my own volition. I did have a drink or five last night, did some pole dancing like that chick did from 'Saved by the Bell' way back in my undies cause the club used to be a strip club and they left the cool shit in there. Todd Rubenstein had a 'few to many' Budwisers and before getting into the house was in his underwear, my boots and hat and singing 'I'm the Naked Cowboy.' He was all concerned cause we told him he started all of that at the bar where he had many of his talents showcased. I did an 8 miler today, from Todd's down to the 'Super 8 Motel' and back with some hills and sprints, awesome. First workout in three days which for me is unprecedented. Leaving at 4 a.m. tommorrow to hit up NYC, and to do a 'Breast Cancer' benefit for 'Reachout Inc.' that should include DJ Jamie Lee from 95.5 WPLJ, Lori Michaels from Lori Michaels Productions, and will be held at Nichols Park, in Nutley, New Jersey. All music will be available at I-tunes soon. Currently the highest percentage of downloads of the first single, 'Nothin' to do with Love' is occuring in the Netherlands, and it has been reviewed with great honors (including a 'Discovery Award') from the leading Nashville Music Critics. Mark my word, the 'Naked Movement' that I was, am and will be destined to lead this world into is now digitally mastered and set to take over what was 'Country Music.' Naked Cowboy is everywhere, has had it's seeds planted in every corner of the world just germinating upon itself to no end. The only thing that has ever been required for monetizing the epidemic, critical mass, tipping point, effect of unequalled wealth unfathomed in the history of Mankind is a completed product that is purchasable and accessible. A complete package of 13 songs, all number one songs, is coming to a town near you, a country star like no other, changing the direction of Country by giving it a fresh new identity for the Commercial Age of Entertainment. Once again, you're very welcome.

Nashville Star

Down in Nashville, unbelievable so far. Recorded two more tracks with TMR Records, two or more today, one a collaboration with 'Chance,' a rapper who is very well known around town and the world, also a TMR Records artist, has traveled world touring with Kid Rock and others of that caliber. Went to Broadway yesterday and stole the entire scene for the entire two plus hours we were there. I mean like a swarm of hundreds of bees taking photos and just sunny ass great relations with the enitre city, it's officers, its tourists jamming the streets for the CMA Music Festival 2007. I think that's what they're calling what used to be 'Fan Fair.' I did a Fashion Show last night with 25 Country Music Superstars at the Hard Rock Cafe that was shot for CMT, and many more Country Music magazines, and magazine shows. Clay Walker was the host and said very complimentary things about Naked Cowboy to a packed house of $250 dollar a seat ticket holders as I was the grand finale to the just mentioned 25 Country Music Superstars who all modeled down a runway for charity. Myself, I was modeling the 'Most Celebrated Entertainer of all Time' in 'Fruit of the Looms,' imitation white ostrich boots, a pair of socks ($2 for 10), and a $12 platic cowboy hat, a $200 gee-tar with stickers, all custom painted by my index finger. Not to flashy, gotta give the normal kids a chance as mom and dad used to say. Today will be rehearsing for my first Country Music Showcase in Nashville tommorrow at 'Code Blue.' (Katy Kiefer, Darby Ledbetter, Violet D. Santo, Chance, also performing).
The 25 country music superstars were: Clay Walker, Charla, Deejay Chance, Blue Country, Catherine Britt, Lee Brice, Shannon Brown, Jason Michael Carroll, Jessica Craig, Ty Herndon, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Kerri D., Lonestar, Neal McCoy, Beverly Mitchell, Rissi Palmer, Danielle Peck, Trick Pony, Tanya Tucker, Storme Warren, Bryan White, Erika Page White, Trent Willmon, Darryl Worley, Chris Young.
The sponsors were: Country Weekly, Wrangler, Hard Rock Cafe, Tiffany and Co., Nashville Country 95.5, Flavour, M.A.C., Justin Boots, and Lipman Champagne.

Catch Up

Been kickin' ass as usual, not bloggin' though for a quick minute. Times Square daily as can be eternally expected, massive crowds, massive media. I star in a Nickleback Video coming out soon, look for Naked Cowboy singing, 'I wanna be a rock star,' bit kooky being I'm the greatest rock star of all time already. Found out I'm in a U2 video going around, I remember them shooting it, just never heard about it till now, everyday. Bono and the band came down Broadway on a flat-bed truck with hoards of people following them, they drove right by, of course, they saluted their King. Been to Jambox Studios last couple of days working on 'Extremes' and 'Get Naked', two more thumpin' anthems to come out really soon on I-tunes and of course the 'rock my space' feature of nakedcowboy.com. Today I'm hitting an interview/meeting with a major NYC production company that has a new tv show for me to consider, more on that very soon, big-timer. Second one, by the way, in one week. Probably gonna go the route of being a major player on a tv show that has a broader theme to it so as to escape all previous contracts pertaining to these matters, then come around and do my own show in a year of two when I'm being offered to replace David Letterman or Jay Leno on a major Network, and leave all these soap opera, fly in the pan, rinky dink cable shows in the dirt. Going to Nashville tomorrow to finish the 10 song album with Todd Rubenstein of TMR records and to hit Fan Fair, and to do a headlining show case for a sold out audience. I never saw one of the band members yet they know the tracks front to back, no rehearsal necessary, I just sing my hit songs. Will also be on Broadway in Nashville playing daily for packed audiences as the town is packed during Fan Fair week. Nix-a-Country is having me at their booth, I was kicked out of Fan Fair some years ago. Went in, got Naked, started taking photos and thrilling the crowd, then security drug me out kicking and screaming. I had to pretend that leaving was a big deal in itself to avoid arrest. "But I wanna see the Dixey Chics!" Ron Israel from Behind the Sceens will be there taping for my reality show on youtube.com and the Naked Cowboy Documentary, the definitive, official documentary of your King, Naked Cowboy. Will be back in NYC on Sunday afternoon, 6/10/07. I'm the current Playgirl Man of the Month, if you haven't seen it yet, on stands now. Got a big deal comming up with a German Company, dang, I could go on for days here. Love and hate, Naked Cowboy

Naked on 5/31/07

Today is my bro's birthday, Kenny Burck, Jr., two years, chronological, older than I. So I called him first thing out of bed before hittin' some Franklin Merrell-Wolfe. It's like summer so I'm goin' in to Times Square earlier, just whatever time I'm ready without delay cause like, it's warm and eternal out there. Today I did like 4 solid hours, some guy gave me $500 cash for some photos to be published and got a 'release' to use them, promising that he is sure his client, in Germany, will want to do a full spokesmodel type campaign with me, and he'll be calling real soon, and wants to include some of my music to the packaging of the whole matter.
Got car washed, and took Cindy Fox, my girl, to 'Happy Endings Lounge' on 302 Broome street in SOHO for the Playgirl Centerfold Man of the Year party, took photos with him and everybody, really, great little party. From there we went to 'Retox' for a Red Carpet event, the National benefit for Tourettes Syndrome, where again, my buddy Randy Jones was present and I again found myself in underwear singing and doing the whole signing of YMCA for a packed audience of photographers. Learned alot as usual about the media machine and how they do everything in their power to see me in the spotlight.

Barking Fish Entertainment

Naked Reality Show

THE NAKED COWBOY
…because American Idol is not an option

A Weekly ½ Hour Hybrid

THE BRIEF

Entertainers from across the globe dream of making it big in L.A. or The Big Apple. Countless aspiring actors, singers, and dancers spend years studying their craft, struggling to make it in the business, hoping to get discovered, waiting for that big break. Robert John Burck skipped that part.

With a guitar in his hand, a motivational message in his heart, and a suitcase full of tighty-whities Robert moved from rural Ohio to New York City, dubbed himself “The Naked Cowboy,” and started the journey to becoming the most celebrated entertainer of all time.

Times Square and underwear have never been the same.

Armed only with his homespun brand of self-motivation, The Naked Cowboy has taken his place between the Statue of Liberty and apple pie in the annals of Americana. He has created a cult following for himself without the use of a publicist or an agent. The Naked Cowboy has entertained millions of people from across world with his offbeat songs and hand-painted underwear. He has appeared on MTV, CNN, Animal Planet and USA on shows such as The Howard Stern Show, New Years Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest, K-9 Karma and Late Night with David Letterman. Additionally he has been featured in music videos for artists such as Cake, several commercials, including the Beyonce-starring Pepsi spot directed by Spike Lee, and feature films such as The Olsen Twins’ “New York Minute”.

But that’s just the beginning. Even though The Naked Cowboy has become an instantly recognized icon throughout the world, “Naked” has bigger dreams: to become “The Most Celebrated Entertainer of all Time”. Without pants!

THE SHOW

THE NAKED COWBOY is a weekly ½ hour hybrid where Naked takes the viewer through his hilarious and awkward path to becoming famous. We’ll follow Naked’s quest to conquer film, television, music, motivational speaking - and, of course, the underwear industry. There’s no point in worshiping celebrities on the red carpet when you can become one!

Part comedy, with a dash of fantasy, we follow THE NAKED COWBOY each week as he tilts at windmills and refuses to give up his dreams. We watch Naked as he puts himself into situations that defy logic in order to create buzz and gain notoriety. And because Naked lives by a philosophy of personal empowerment that he passes on to anyone who will listen, his methods for achieving mainstream success lead to incredible, over-the-top comedic moments. The wonderful part about watching Naked is that as ridiculous as many of the situations are, Naked ultimately taps into the visionary in all of us. Viewers can’t help but root for him, and ultimately for themselves.

THE STYLE

Each episode of THE NAKED COWBOY plays out via two distinct storytelling vehicles – live action, and a highly stylized animated component in the vein of a visually stimulating graphic novel.

The live action footage of Naked is designed to have a caught-on-tape feeling, but is edited with a cinematic and modern pace. It is in the live action that we see the variety of situations that Naked finds himself in while trying to become the most celebrated entertainer of all time. In any given week, we might see him booked as entertainment for a wedding or bar mitzvah, hired for a promotional video, trying to secure an underwear deal with Wal-Mart, negotiating a record contract or flying overseas as a match.com spokesperson. We’ll also capture the various events he crashes (and at times is thrown out of) such as the Academy Awards, Major League baseball games, Mardi Gras, political conventions, and popular TV shows.

The animated component juxtaposes and foreshadows each episode’s story with a fictional interpretation of Naked as a typical “A-list celebrity.” For instance, if the live action footage shows Naked distributing his painted briefs via pick-up truck to Wal-Mart, the animated “A-list” Naked is presenting his underwear collection on the runway during fashion week in Milan. It is in these animations that the viewing audience realizes the hilarious difference between the “Hollywood” and “Naked” ways.


THE CAST

The cast of characters that surrounds Naked range from family and friends questioning his sanity to an array of disciples caught up in his quest. We’ll meet Cindy, the fitness expert girlfriend, and her two kids who live with Naked in New Jersey. We’ll meet Naked’s manager and brother Kenny, who happens to moonlight as a drummer in an Iron Maiden cover band. There’s Ron, the ex-dentist turned Naked’s personal videographer, and Aaron the “Naked” disciple who was so inspired by the Cowboy “change your life now” attitude that he quit his job and started a landscaping business in the dead of winter, became a fighter in a “Meanest Man” contest and performed as a stand-up comedian… All because of Naked.


SUMMARY

With guts, determination, and jaw-dropping nerve, THE NAKED COWBOY allows viewers to witness the hilarity that surrounds Naked’s triumphs, failures and unique way of inspiring others to achieve their dreams. In addition, the show gives viewers an inside look into the world of small time entertainers who make their living in fringe venues. THE NAKED COWBOY uses a cutting edge stylized method of storytelling to tap into the “never-say-die” dreamer in all of us.

There’s nothing that will deter Naked from becoming the world’s most celebrated entertainer of all time, even if he has to drag the rest of the world kicking and screaming along the way.

Naked Cowboy in 2008!!!

More Propogation of Naked Cowboy's Presidential Campaign that the people of the United States are circulating in mass without any effort on my part. The true leader always rises to the top without effort.

Naked Cowboy for President?I've had a few good talks with the legendary Naked Cowboy, and I'm pleased to announce that he is now a Social Ironist Party supporter. Naked has the vision to recognize our party platform for it's true essence: the highestlevel of truth and honesty obtainable in politics. You see, we recognize the fact that politics are driven by ego and a personal quest for power,fame, and fortune. Other politicians will try to pass themselves off as"public servants" as they discreetly peddle influence to the highest bidder.Not us. We're also selling political influence to corporate sponsors, butwe're going to make it worth their while by getting them more coverage andbrand awareness than Ronald McDonald on meth. The S.I.P coupe will go downin history as a case study in creative writing, performance art, guerillamarketing and political science. We're bringing self-reflection into thesystem, and I assure you it will never be the same. While the details of our partnership are still in the works, thepossibilities are endless: an added element of S.I.P politicaldocu-drama-comedy on Naked Cowboy reality TV? Fundraising DinnerEntertainment Extravaganza Campaign Events, benefiting our partner charitiesas we become the most celebrated philanthropists of all time? A 2008presidential campaign? Lines and boundaries are meant to be crossed, and we look forward tostomping all over them with the Naked Cowboy's larger-than life sized boots.You can check out his impressive array of work and talents atwww.nakedcowboy.com . --- City Beat. May 30, 2007: Hot Political Newcomer: Sean Holbrook Refreshing political maverick or irritating smartass? That's somethingCincinnati votes can decide for themselves when they go to the polls Nov. 6and see Sean Holbrook's name on the ballot for city council. Holbrook, 24,is perhaps the unlikeliest candidate running for council. An area native,he lives in Over-the-Rhine and works as a detox nurse at the Center forChemical Addiction and Treatment. Despite his serious day job, he'sconducting his campaign with a decidedly sardonic touch. He's had localbands write campaign songs that mock, among other topics, development groupslike 3CDC and politicians who wear $400 suits while touring poorneighborhoods and shaking hands with residents - all of which have beenposted online by his sunglass-wearing, guitar strumming "Singing PressSecretary" (voteseanholbrook.com). Politics has lost touch with theconcerns of most people, Holbrook says, and many local politicians are ripefor having their pretentious, preening ways mocked. As a result, he and hiscircle of friends formed the Social Ironist Party, a group dedicated tofocusing on policy issues and making fun of rigid ideologues, conservativeor liberal. "Our satire is guided by and underlying sense of morality," hesays. "While politics may be a total joke, the issues that face ourcommunities are not. That's why we make friends with wonks who actuallyunderstand public policy, even though they lack 'political' skills likeputting on nice suits and spouting out cheesy metaphor-lies that embody theAmerican Spirit and make us all feel good about ourselves."

Presidential Campaign 2008

Naked Cowboy is Running for President of the United States in 2008 fully supported and financially backed by the S.R.I. I look forward to serving you as our next President of the United States.

The Social Ironist Party (Party Platform)

No one embodies the current American political climate like the Social Ironist Party. Elections are about anything but the issues, which works out great for us, because we have good hair, and we speak in highly poetic sounding metaphors. The media wants to report on gaffes and sex scandals, so we’ll give it to them. In fact, our campaigns will be based on gaffes and sex scandals. The Social Ironist Party realizes that elections are ridiculous circuses, so we deal with them accordingly.

Phonetically speaking, Ideologies begin by addressing their followers (idiots.) Are you a Liberal? A Conservative? Stop. You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. With partisan-hack talking bobble-head dolls on both sides mindlessly flapping their jaws and twisting the facts so their little political football teams can win, who can you even trust anymore? The answer, of course, is the Social Ironist Party. Everything we do and say is honest, because I’m telling you right here that it isn’t, which thereby makes it true in a circularly-logical, meta-reflective sense. I told you we embody the current American political climate.


Why the Pony???

Republicans, the party of cash and Jesus, are symbolized by an elephant. The Democrats, who push pencils and create non-binding resolutions, have a donkey. No one really knows what either animal stands for.

The Social Ironist Party refuses to make the same mistake: our party animal is the pony, because ponies are the most beautiful, pure, and innocent creature on God’s otherwise dreary and mistake filled earth. Ponies symbolize the fact that America is essentially a nation of 12 year old girls.

“But”, you say, “I’m a 40 year old construction worker!”

We’re sure that you are. That’s your right as an American. Still, that doesn’t make you any less of a 12 year old girl. Perhaps it isn’t an actual, physical pony that you want (we’re using symbolism here, remember?) - maybe it’s a boat, or new rims for your pickup truck, or a 6 carat diamond ring. The point is that you’ll work a job you hate just so you can afford it, and when you finally do get it, your pony will chew up your lawn and kick you in the head. You’ll spend your time cleaning up pony poop and you’ll spend your money on oats and horseshoes and a brand new stable. Where was Daddy to tell you, “No, you’re not getting that pony.”?

Perhaps you don’t yet realize that you’re spiritually and emotionally a 12 year-old girl. This is because you have the self-reflective abilities of a 12 year-old girl. Enjoy your ponies.



7 Pillars of the Social Ironist Platform:

The Social Ironist Party shall be much, much hornier than any other political party. You only wish you could attend our National Convention. Because politics is an art form filled with money grubbing whores, we shall be the biggest, dirtiest, greediest money grubbing whores of all time, which is ok because we’re ironically self-reflective about it.

We shall make the American Dreamscape shinier, but more importantly we shall talk about making the American Dreamscape shinier. Our satire is guided by an underlying sense of morality. While politics may be a total joke, the issues that face our communities are not. That’s why we make friends with wonks who actually understand public policy, despite lacking “political” skills, like wearing nice suits and spouting out cheesy metaphor-lies that embody the American Spirit and make us all feel good about ourselves.

We shall speak in highly poetic language, and verbally vanquish all who oppose us, all while wearing nice suits and having good hair, or at least a straw hat.

We shall be Creators of Truth, running the most entertaining, creative, guerilla-cowboy campaigns in the history of the entire universe.

The S.I.P shall give rise to an army of pundits who will type and shout sayings and words and slogans at the top of their lungs and keyboards. What they say does not matter, as long as they drown out all the other pundits who also don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.

We shall shamelessly promote and plug things including but not limited to the following items: our corporate sponsors, ourselves, our campaign entertainment extravaganza fundraising dinner events, and Dave’s band, 2 Night Stand (www.2nightstandband.com), because he created this party and therefore gets to use it for self-serving purposes. Also, we shall elevate Holbrook to the status of a demi-god, because what’s the point in running for public office if people don’t worship you? Later, there’s a good chance we’ll ask you to join our cult. When this day comes, just join and don’t ask any questions. God hates people who ask questions.

We shall have 7 pillars, because the number 7 represents good luck and now that we have that we’ll win the election for sure.



But Seriously:

We believe America needs an open and honest political system where decisions are made based on facts and logic instead of politics, money, and cronyism.

We strive to educate people about the issues and get them involved in improving the communities while inspiring them to improve themselves and think outside the box.

We believe in the power of innovation - it is the socially conscience entrepreneurs who will save our world, and it is up to the government to empower them and get out of their way.

Naked Apparition in Cowboy Boots to Dad

Due to the complexity of Divine Realization in human development, at least as it is viewed from the narrow confines of reason, several necessary interventions/directions were conveyed to Kenny R. Burck, Sr. by the Naked Apparition in Cowboy Boots prior to the deliverence of his Son Robert J. Burck, II. The Naked Apparition in Cowboy Boots, fully aware of it's desiny to unite all mankind and to convey, universally, the meaning of unity (awakened conciousness) in the till now clothed disquise of society (current idea being expounded by the universal mind), thus designed circumstances to prevent the major delusions erroneously built into 'normal' human psychology/development. The the Naked Apparition in Cowboy Boots did decree to Kenneth Burck, Robert's dad, these specific directions.
1. Kenneth Robert Burck, Sr. was to seperate Robert J. Burck, II. from himself and his mother during his early childhood in order to sever any instictual bond to them. This seperation would obliterate the false sense of security that children inherently feel in their parents due to over-protection and rediculously possessive nurturing. (Robert was left at his grandparents house for 16 days at the age of 2 while Kenny and Mary Ann went to Mexico with Robert's older sibling Kenny Burck, Jr.)
2. Kenneth Robert Burck, Sr. was to divorce his first wife, Mary Ann, so as to create a definite line of demarcation between the principles of 'being' (the mother principle) and 'doing' (the father principle). (Kenneth did divorce Mary Ann while Robert was 2.)
3. Kenneth Robert Burck, Sr. was told to marry as many times as necessary so as to relentlessly drill in the lesson of solitary, self-contained living and the futile-ness of diluting strength through un-natural, contractually supported unions which, of course, are an attempt to contain Nature against it's will. (Kenny has been married 5 times and been entirely impervious to the divorce process as undisciplined women have tried to steer him into chaos)
4. Kennth Robert Burck, Sr. is to remain mission oriented to the detriment of all else. He is to demonstrate that control over one's circumstances is survival itself. During the awakening period of his Son Robert, adolescence, through thick and thin, Kenneth is to remain single-minded to his plan and to remain unperturbed by the continuous attempts of his Son to garner attention through misdirected applications of his inexhaustible energy. (despite lengthy bouts with speech impediment, vandalism, anorexia, violence and juvenile delinquincy, Kenny never gave an iota of reactive attention, holding with fidelity all the attention in the world to actions of impeccabilty.)
These 4 guidelines did the Naked Apparition in Cowboy Boots thus decree to Kenneth Robert Burck, Sr. prior to his Son's birth.
