or headquarters for that matter... you see i have moved my operation to another part of the house, made a few upgrades and am feeling a "fresh new vibe".
Which begs the question... what is my operation?
Jesus effin crouch, why do i have to ask myself these derailing questions just when i start to feel like i am on a roll... and then publicly state that i am on a roll which is a sure fire way to rattle the bones of the OMEN GODS.
Now don't get all crazy one me and think that our good warrior old S Robertson has lost his faith and turned into some religious sucker like the pack of fools at my door this morning trying to give me a pamphlet on the truth. "The truth" sounded good but the pamphlet was horse shit and the dudes couldn't see it... they kept saying you see it's written right here, and i had to say sure sure but i could write a pamphlet and print it and i could write it so that it says "Ron sucks shit out of shit ass"... and i could even put in a picture of you and have an arrow pointing at your picture and then come to your house Ron, and disturb you from a fine bong hit to tell you about the truth that is written in my pamphlet... but the thing is Ron, it might not be true... do you suck shit out of shit ass Ron?
Apparently Ron has never and will never suck shit out of a shit ass... so i apologized for insinuating such but none the less i asked Ron and his partner if they caught my drift.. but like a fine tuned salesman they just dropped back into the routine so i had to shoe them away asap.
But the OMEN GODS are different... it's more about balance in the universe and pure mathematical probability. On a grander scale it is probably more about self blame... if you said something couldn't happen and it happens than you are presented with the opportunity to hate yourself for tempting fate by declaring it couldn't happen.
I do believe in "karma" and positive mind training.
Karma- good things happen to people doing good things because they spent their energy in a way that inspires positivity and hence are in the vicinity to benefit, and perhaps through their efforts they will recognize opportunity when it comes as they will understand the process of how good things work.
positive mind- if you believe you can you probably can, if you believe you will fail you are done.
One thing i know for sure is that gaining direction in ones life does not come by accident, but rather the result of a committed effort on a number of smaller fronts.

hot damn...9 years of the chronicles
August 14, 2001
What is a website?
How is it useful?
Why should people go there?
And is this going to be an enjoyable pursuit for myself?
These Questions give rise to other questions for example
What is professional with respect to art and a rock and roll band?
In fact who even cares about quality?
it is indeed a fast food industry, and I'm stuck in the middle of it. This is the roadbed website, Your connection to the Super Robertson take on things. I am an artist, funny the word artist to declare yourself one its kind of like barging in and joining some club. Art is cool right, and cool attracts idiots, posers, and confused souls desperately subscribing for a sense of belonging. Of course Art attracts lovers, lovers of things beautiful and you can find beauty in anything. Don't get me wrong I mean i love innocence and I want people to have a good life.
Talked myself into a corner...am I really going to post this on the web site...I don't really know what else to do I make music, dabble in visual Art, make movies and write things that may be classified under the concept of poetry. In my spare time I like to camp, play music on nude beaches, create things and play hockey. My problem is this.... I have this band with The Shockker and Two Sticks called Roadbed...We are truly Independent and we would like to be heard because we believe we have a lot to offer music. So basically what's happening is that this here will be the Super Robertson take on the life and times of Roadbed a book written before your eyes. Now I hate the term book because it alludes to a final product which is not really the goal here...anyhoo I am going to post this up on our site let the chips fall where they may and let what happens next happen next...

that was the first post ever to this here blog series
2001-2005 the original Super Robertson chronicles are hosted on the old Roadbed website... i remember it taking years just to get audio up... now you can embed video wit a few simple clicks... yep the old Internet has come a long way. i didn't know what a blog was... apparently the term was first coined in 1999, 2 years before. Apparently "blogaroo" is not an official term although a quick search will show that it is gaining momentum. "Bloggi apparatus" is still deep under cover.
2005-present has been with this here blogger site under the heading "Super Robertson chronicles II". the blog itself was originally titled by the late great Gareth Evans... which reminds me i should look at that old mountain goat footage/ cliff jumping... things to do.
I like the fact that i started with a rack of questions, many of them remain relevant and up for debate to this day. i think we spend so much time in front of computers now that we are beginning to alter our sense of "normal". the best times i had this summer so far were when i was out far away from a computer, away from the reach where you thing that something MIGHT be important enough for you to stop doing something valuable to do something "status orientated".
when i first started this it was out of the need to "keep new content coming" so that people would have a reason to come back to the band site... i also thought it would be great for the band members to have their own page where they said something in an individual context to give a greater picture of the band. I have since learned to rely only on myself for these type of ventures.
Have i accomplished anything?
of course, any practice at articulating the thoughts in your head can only be good to help re-enforce who you are, what you believe in, and why it matters, and as a songwriter this is key no matter how illiterate you come off. always good to keep a keen sense of humour about everything because in a world of people with sticks up their asses you need to laugh at somebody so never count yourself out of the game.
on that point i also believe that a fine trigger to be insulted is a great weakness... you do what you do for the reasons you do them and if somebody tries to damn you and you let them you are allowing their shortcomings to affect the plan of your long game.
When i look back at all of the things that people have told me about the forces and drives that carry the persona of Super Robertson I'd have to say that almost all of them are bull shit. I do feel comfortable with why i do things now, something that perhaps wasn't the case years ago... i wonder if my kids will ever read all of this... EGAD!
