Music Manager 101
Having a manager can be a wonderful thing or a huge headache. Let us first look at the latter. An artist needs to have a good working relationship with their manager. There has to be a great deal of trust because this person is taking partial responsibility of your career. It is advisable to take your time choosing a good manager. You may first want to inquire of other musicians and bands you know. See who represents them and follow up on meeting with a few of the managers you discover. Determine your interview questions and treat this just like what it is; a job interview where you are the employer. You do not want to hire someone who does shoddy work. Take your time with this. A bad manager can take advantage of you, steal from you etc. So do your homework. That cannot be stressed enough.

What Polyamory Has Taught Me
I have been married twice and divorced twice. Why is that? I could go on about who was at fault. Was it me or them? But I won’t go there. Plus I’m relatively sure I’ve done that in another story. But one thing I can say with certainty is that there was little to no trust in either marriage. As a touring musician, it would have made a lot of sense to marry women who had no problem with having an entertainer for a spouse. I should have considered that, but instead, I was blinded by the booty. Or rather, booties. So anyway, due to that lack of trust and honesty in the marriages, I rarely if ever felt okay with being my authentic self in the relationships.

Tour of Duty
Prologue Defense Vessel Nibarger Hatacan System Captain Dalia Genar’s finger absently tapped the spine of the book she was reading, or rather trying to read. Her thoughts lingered on the orders that had brought her battle group just inside the Hatacan system. For nearly two weeks, the Defense Vessel Nibarger had been on station along with the Mirico, Geriss, and Priana. Long-range scans had indicated the presence of several Pridrallian and Yaarmoan ships inside the system, as was expected. The meeting between representatives of those two worlds to ally themselves with the warlord Nai Lamarco was apparently underway.

Live Show Preparation
Ah, Live performance. This is the Artist’s best chance to make a good impression and gain more fans, not to mention to remind current fans of why they love you and your music. The key word here is performance. You want that to be memorable, especially if your audience has paid to get in to see you. That does not mean you give a lackluster performance, even for free events. Be on top of your game at all times from start to finish.

Confessions of a Sex Lover
Sex. I love sex. And everything associated with it. I am a voyeuristic person by nature and would often prefer to watch others have sex. I like to watch. I love the sounds of a woman moaning and groaning while she is pleasured. I love the sounds of sex. Raw and primal. I have learned over the years not to gawk at what interests me, but to take quick glances that take in everything. So I can focus on large-breasted women, which is another preference. Cleavage sparks my imagination and my lust as I wonder what type of nipples she has or how big her areolae are. My original “type” of woman was about 5’2'', bright-skinned, with a very round butt. I have since expanded that demographic to include various body types and heights. Personality is important. I tend to be able to tell how good a woman is in bed just from a basic conversation. Aside from wife number one, I have not had bad sex.

Through Fire
I'm beginning to think I am unlucky in love. Allow me to tell you why. I married at a young age... Well young to me. At the age of 21, while working at a coffee shop, I encountered two aged women who gave me some advice. I thought it was good advice at the time. Marry your best friend. Sounds good right? Well let me say that these two women were merely customers who did not know me personally. They were visiting my fair city of Detroit from California. Because of my dashing good looks and effortless customer service skills, they deemed me a good catch. They were appalled when I informed them that I was unhitched.
