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. We produce unconventional music and have designed our business model to be cohesive with the way that music consumers are buying music now... 1 song at a time. TMR Records allows artists to work under the label from a non-exclusive standpoint. Giving its artists the opportunity to explore other options while working within a per-song agreement with TMR. We believe that we will be helping many Ex-Major Label artists as the Major Record Companies begin reducing their rosters and decreasing their staffs to try and survive in the already changed Music Business atmosphere.
Who I'd like to meet:Anyone with talent. Anyone with notoriety. We are not a Genre specific label, so don't be confused by our location. We are so outside the box that we will consider working under any circumstances as long as it has the potential to be successful.

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.'
Continued Reading
'Tipping Point' and 'Blink' by Malcolm Gladwell
'22 Immutable Laws of Marketing'
'Radical Marketing'
Just brushing up by seeing the index and appendix to trigger arsenals of data that will rise to the concious level as I proliferate all day.
Note: For anyone new, I would suggest 'How to Win Friends and Influence People,' by 'Dale Carnegie' before anything this detailed as a winning personality is what all the technique in the world is about. Detailed sales, of course, belongs to 'Zig Zigler.'

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.

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.
