Robbie's The Learning

Well, well...a new year has come and with it new hopes and expectations. It's been a long long time since last wrote in the blog but a lot of things have happened, good and bad, and I felt that now was the time to start all over again. With that in mind, let me tell you that I'm back on EDM music scene and soon I'll have a biweekly show at www.bpm.fm that I'll probably call Sounds of Trance. Very simple and straight forward really but I just felt that there is really new and exciting music out there right now for me to share with people. I'll keep you posted with more info on the show.

 

The metal keeps on flowing and now that Metalicos is the official site of the Iron Maiden concert here on the 26th of February, things could not have been much better for the page. Traffic has increased tremendously and we are already in the top 100,000 in Alexa . Sweeeet!! Still, there's lots of work that needs to be done so I'm looking forward to that. Living alone has been a blessing so far, its amazing how much one grows when facing such situation. I just love it!

 

Life seems to be full of unexpected turns and challenges. I kinda like it that way. BTW, to a lady out there that has been lost in time and distance, I found something that I realize it's true...

 

"Now that I see...

 

The fields of hope are painted
by the tears!
They always show the garden
of the seers."

 

Back to music news, I'm also part of a live radio show on the net called Metal Sin Fronteras that is being hosted by a wonderful guatemalan page called www.rockrepublik.net Check them out and tune into the station at www.rkradio.net Mondays from 8-10pm Central Time US for a couple of hours of metal, hard rock and good ole time!

I would like to leave you with a beautiful rhyme I found...here's to all of you, Nightwalkers ;-)

 

"Shine on the gods here in silence
Mine is the shade one more time
I walk the night impaled by Cyrus
Under the moon I'll be by your side!!"

 

Happy 2008 and may all your dreams come true!!

Wow what a birthday it was!!  One of the best in a long freaking time, I have to admit. Not only was I given wonderful gifts by everyone but the truth is that the most precious gift is life and being surrounded by people that are so special in so many ways. To all of you that have touched my life in one way or another: THANK YOU! I hope you are a having a great time because I sure am!

 

Things are moving along nicely and there is always something amazing about life that keeps reminding me that I'm on the right path of self discovery, of spiritual awakening. Feeling the energy of the Universe embracing as I give back all the love that I'm given. I'm ready...ready for thunder!!

 

And as always, people...

 

...Be safe, be happy and don't let anybody make you afraid of anything!

It's been a while since I last left traces of my presence in the blog. A few thing have happened since my last entry so I wanted to keep everyone on the loop about things.

 

First off, the sad news. I had to end up a relationship that I had for about a year now with a wonderful person. It's a bit strange that things ended the way they did but I had no choice. We were not in touch anymore and she never had the time for it. I don't blame her really since I know that she just had other things in her mind. It was no one's fault. I love her very much and I wish her the best. She's an extraordinary person and I know that she will be able to find her place in life. It is my most desired wish for her. As for yours truly, this was another exciting opportunity to live and grow...ahh, the neverending learning. That's what makes us evolve and become better people and I welcome the experience with open arms. Supremacy, Our Kind!

 

In other areas, myspace page has really let me get in touch with a bunch of people in the music business and I have been able to become pen pals with musicians that I have admired and also get exposed to new music out there! For any of you that has not checked it out, here's the URL: www.myspace.com/robmendoza Don't be a shy and pay me a visit ;)

 

The web station is doing good and we are maintaining a good audience at the moment. I am also getting involved with Paul in bringing the RockArte show back to the airwaves via Radio U. It's an exciting period in my life and coupled with my impending move to my new home, it all points to a great time in the near future!

 

I leave you with these beautiful lyrics from Pagan's Mind. They are inspiring and I believe fully in the goodness of mankind. We can make a change, little by little.

 

Everyone, God bless and remember...be safe, be happy and don't let anybody make you afraid of anything!

 

 

"Awakened
From embrace of sorrow
Heal the spirit deep inside
Call the new era tomorrow

We will unite as one
And signs will unfold
Always searching for the
Key they lost
Finding true life`s essence
Uniqueness of our Kind

And we travelled
Drawn back in time
To our endless dream
Led by starlight
Horizons of hope
Calling from within"

Oh well, it's been a fun time right now for me. I have the house already and feeling really good about being a homeowner! It's abeen a long road to get here but I'm glad I did this.  Things are moving along nicely and I hope I am able to move in by the middle of February as I'm adding a terrace. It's going to look spectacular, that's for sure! Got to listen to the new record by Zero Hour and I was happy to see that I can still get excited about new music out there. That's the beauty of it...it never dies! :)

 

So here's a big Hell Yeah! to all my family, friends and all around cool people out there!!

 

Be safe, be happy...and don't let anybody make you afraid! :)

Today it has been a strange day. As the day draws near when they are going to deliver my house, things turn weird. For starters, at work one of my co-workers decides to make fun of my heritage in my face and left me cold. I just pity the woman, I really do. Then, a good friend of mine decides to stand me up for the second time as if nothing has happened. What can I say? It has been that kind of a day. People take you for granted, it's a fact. At least you get to learn which people are REALLY worth it and which are not. To top it all off, my mother is sick with the flu and feeling terrible. Oh well, you have to take the highs with the lows. That's what life is all about. It's that simple. You pick yourself up and you keep going...I may not like it but that's how the world turns.

 

So for those who made me feel like crap today...your word isn't worth more than puke in the dust!! BETRAYER!!

 

And to those I love...

 

Be safe, be happy...and don't let anybody make you afraid of anything!!

It's been eons since I updated the website so what a better way to break in the new year than to leave an update and some pics of my new home to be! This has been a dream of mine for quite a while and finally, it's coming true! So here you have some pics...enjoy. I have a feeling this 2007 it's going to be a hell of a year!!

 

Be safe, be happy and don't let anybody make you afraid! :)

Well, the party's back so hide all your valuables and lock your refrigerators!

 

Seriously, it's good to be back writing something about what's going on in my life and what the future holds. First off, let me say that I finally got my computer back after a long week without it. Some lightining strike ripped thorugh my network card but I'm back in business. The station was doing real well until the computer problem arose so we dropped from 721 total listening hours to 501. The important thing is that I'm updating the playlist as we speak and I hope to have the new shows back on the air for the upcoming weeks.

 

Secondly, I have been going through some heavy duty periodontal work and even though it hurts like a kick to the face, the end result is all that counts. This is something that I should have taken care of a long time ago and I'm glad I'm doing it now. I promise I will never let my mouth get this bad ever again. Health is life's most vital commodity...take care of it!!

 

Along with that, I would like to say that we should all take care of ourselves, in every single way possible...you know why? Because no one else would care but you!! You are your own best friend...it's one of the most basic truths out there. Pampering yourself should be a golden rule in all of our lives.

 

Well, thats' all for now and as always...

 

Be safe, be happy and don't let anybody make you afraid! :)
