It’s All Cyclical

Rob Says1 Comment
Going up? Or down? Your choice.

It’s just after Thanksgiving 2020 and I want to start off by saying that I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and a great weekend that followed it. I know I did.

That being said, let’s move on, shall we?

I’ve been intentionally absent from the internet for the most part this past “long weekend” and that mostly because I’m seeing the same things I have seen for the past couple of years.

What do I mean? “Semen retention,” which is just another way of saying “No Fap,” which is just another way of saying, “I’m not getting laid,” is going around. I guess it is November.

Guys arguing about what is or isn’t “alpha” is picking up steam again. Right before I sat down to write this post, I saw a bunch of photos that guys are calling “alpha tells” on the internet. A woman in a photo is looking up adoringly at her man? That’s alpha. The guy is leaning in and she is staring at the photographer? That’s beta.

I remember seeing this exact same shit over two years ago. The only difference today is the packaging. Not jacking off and not having sex is “semen retention” today, and green lines are being added to pictures in order to plainly show that some “chump” is clearly leaning in, which makes him a complete loser beta.

Never mind that the guys posting the pictures haven’t talked to a live woman, other than their mother’s, in years. Guess what guys? It shows. You’re only fooling yourselves with your bullshit.

I understand that new guys show up daily. There’s always some poor schmuck who just got his ass handed to him in a divorce proceeding, or he just found out his girl was banging some dude, or more than one dude, on the side. Guys getting “zeroed out” and finding their way to our corner of the internet is better than the alternative where they either do it all over again, getting the same results that they got the last time they dealt with women and relationships, or they end up putting the barrel of a gun in their mouths or hang from a noose. I’m glad that “our space” is here for those guys.

But that’s not the majority of guys in “our space.” Some of these guys have been here for years. The Red Pill isn’t supposed to be a final destination, it’s a way point in your life. It’s where you go to learn the things that your father should have told you when you were a little boy, but he either wasn’t there, or he didn’t know any better.

Thank God that Twitter has the ability to mute accounts and to mute words. I think I would have gone crazy by now if it didn’t. It gets tiring seeing the idiots post idiotic shit and then see other idiots give the original idiot a pat on the back and a digital high-five for the idiotic drivel.

Just another day in the cycle of “our space.” What was old is new again, just renamed and repackaged with a shinier veneer.

Now that I’m seeing the “alpha tells” photos coming back into circulation, I wonder what is next? I hope to God it’s guys wanting to actually learn Game and get laid. I hope it’s guys actually giving “actionable advice” instead of the LARPing that is the current fare right now.

I’m hoping for something that is old, but will be repackaged as new, but is also something of worth, instead of the usual crap of “wahmen bad!” And “Jesus is going to Save the West.”

I’m hoping for guys to genuinely help each other out instead of shaming each other because their way is “right,” and if you aren’t doing it their way, you are a fucking loser.

I have hope, but I don’t have a lot of faith. What comes around, goes around, and all of that blather. I have a feeling that what we are going to be seeing is more of the same shit that we have already been seeing, only guys will double down on it and just put a shinier bow on it.

I’m sure I’m going to be muting new accounts as they come online and I’m sure that there will be new words and phrases that I’ll be adding to my mute list as well. Idiots are gonna idiot.

In the meantime I’ll keep doing my thing. I’ll keep doing the “Rob Report” as Chest Rockwell has lovingly called it, and I’ll keep making my “rant” videos. One thing about it, I’ve definitely had some content to create because of the idiocy that I’ve seen over the last few years and I have a feeling that isn’t going to go away any time soon.

While “our space” is a circular one, at least my video editing skills and quality of videos has improved over time. There’s that at least, and I’m good with that.

Now you’ll have to excuse me, there’s a woman that I need to go see and bang.

Happy Thanksgiving 2020

Rob Says3 Comments

It’s that time of year again, it’s time for Thanksgiving. 2020 has brought us more than we bargained for and more than we anticipated. In all honesty, I almost wish that I could go to sleep for most of this last year and wake up next year.

The problem is, most of this “change” isn’t going to go away any time soon, much less just because of a calendar change. Changing a “0” to a “1” in this case isn’t going to do anything.

I wanted to take a moment and give thanks to the people that have showed up in my life so far:

Thanks to Vince, TJ, Aaron, and James. You guys rock and you are my Brothers. I could write entire blog posts about you guys, but I don’t have the time and I don’t think most people would have the energy or the patience to read it.

Thanks to Nick August for giving me a chance at doing some fiction writing in PunchRiot.com I’ve enjoyed it immensely so far, and I plan to continue doing it if you’ll have it. Also thanks to Nick for putting Let ‘Em Burn on the map. It’s been great talking with you on that show and I look forward to continuing doing that with you.

Thanks to BullRush for coming out to visit me in January of this year. I’m honored and privileged to have met you. I’m glad that Nick brought you on to Let ‘Em Burn and that you are a co-host with me. You add an element to the show that was missing, and I look forward to creating more with you. Keep working on those razors of yours, they are truly special and I prize mine every time I use it.

Thanks to Jack Napier from Red Evening. You are my younger brother that I never had. It’s been an awesome year so far with all the shit that we talk about and I’m really excited for whatever is in store for us next year. We are truly living “Life After The Red Pill.”

Thanks to Matt “FreeMatt” for coming out and visiting with me during the pandemic. You are another brother from another mother for me. Your willingness to listen and to learn and to give your take on things is a gift. I told you while you were out here that being around you and talking with you was an honor, a gift, and a privilege, and I meant that then and I mean it now. Keep doing your thing my friend, you are doing good things whether you know it or not.

Thanks to all of the guys that show up every time that I go “on air.” You guys in the chat are a big reason why I keep doing what I do. You could choose a whole bunch of other content to watch and interact with and yet you choose some of mine. That’s not lost on me. Thank you for your time and your attention. Thank you for your vote of confidence.

Thanks to Chest Rockwell for driving your ass all the way to Salt Lake to bring me beer. Dude, you have no idea how much that meant to me. You are an amazing man in your own right, you’re incredibly intelligent, and I’m honored that you came out to meet me, Vince, TJ, and all of the other guys that came out to Village by the Lake. I’m honored to call you a friend and I look forward to future “adventures.” Maybe this next time I’ll come to you, only I’m not fucking driving. Interstate 80 is way too lonely and I’m way to easy to tempt to go down that road. I’ll fly instead.

Thanks to everybody else that I have interacted with this year so far. You guys fucking rule. Mike in FL, HSG, Bacon, Amos, Red Crusader, Rian Stone, Rollo, Carl, Caio and Jesse, Conk, John Steele, Nick S, David West, Joe Curl, Doc Perrodin, Cris Von Erik, Joe Dolio, Skip, Stephen Storey, Sterling Cooper, and all of my guys that are learning and teaching each other game, all of you rock. Keep doing what you are doing and I’ll do the same. My apologies in advance if I have missed anyone.

I’ll have more shit to talk about I’m sure. More rants to record and write down, and even some more fiction for those of you who like my take on that stuff.

And lastly I want to thank Teriyaki for showing up and being a part of my life so far. You are crazy, but you are my kind of crazy. You are weird, but you’re my kind of weird and you get my sick, twisted humor and the fact that my life is a soundtrack. Here’s to more good times.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody. Eat the good food and drink the good drinks. Enjoy.

Cutting Through It All

Rob Says1 Comment
These are anchovies and they are delicious

“You gotta way of cutting through it all.” – Sassed12Many, on my latest video of “When You Want For Nothing.”

I’ve always tried to pride myself on cutting through the bullshit. That’s because I’ve seen and read enough fluff over the years to kill a horse and to take many lifetimes to go through.

I’ve always been a voracious reader. I’ve read a lot of books on a lot of different subjects. Most of those books are decent on the topics that they cover, but I’m always looking for “the nugget.”

The Nugget: That little piece of wisdom, content, or advice that you can put to use in your life.

Most books I have read use a lot of flowery language, fluff talk, and basically take chapters to say what could have been said in a paragraph or two. A lot of what is called, “filler.” Lately I’ve been noticing the same thing in tutorial videos. Guys rambling on for 10 or 15 minutes before getting to the point. I don’t care about why you created the fucking video, I don’t need your life story, just show and tell me what it is that I’m looking for.

“Click here, tab over there, fill the box in here, hit the save button, then close out. Done.”

That’s what I look for in my tutorials and in most of my non-fiction literature as well. Teach me a skill in as few and as simplistic steps as possible so that I can implement whatever it is and then get on with my life.

I cut through the bullshit because I don’t want to waste my time. I’ve got shit to do. As far back as I can remember, I’ve always been like that. I can be so blunt sometimes that people get intimidated by it and sometimes take offense to it.

“Geez, it’s ‘My way or the Highway’ with you.”

No, it’s not. You asked a question and you got an answer. Sorry not sorry that I didn’t fluff it and sugarcoat it for you.

If you didn’t want to know, don’t ask me.

Part of the reason that I think that I’m this way is because of what happened back in 2015 and then at the end of 2018. Late November or early December of 2015 is when I found out that my Mother had stage 4 ovarian cancer.

I remember I was at my second job, talking to a girl I was seeing at the time, when my Dad called. He said that he had taken my Mom to the hospital and that he needed to speak to me, but wanted to do it face-to-face. I asked him what was wrong and he wouldn’t tell me until I could see him in person. That wasn’t going to happen until the next day.

I got off the phone with him and called my Mom instead and asked her what the hell was going on. She gave it to me straight. Stage 4 ovarian cancer. It didn’t look good for her.

My Mom died in September of 2018 from complications from that cancer and my ex-girlfriend broke up with me two weeks before my Mom died.

If I can survive those things, I can take anything you want to throw at me. It literally doesn’t get worse than a major break up followed almost immediately by a death. Yet I’m still here. I’m still standing. I literally survived the worst thing that could happen to me.

So I can cut through it all. I don’t mince words very often because I have no need to. I can take whatever you have to throw at me, because what is worse than two “deaths” back to back? Maybe three or four “deaths” back to back? You know what? If that happens I’ll survive them too.

I don’t think I’m “bulletproof,” but I’m damn close. You don’t get that way living with your head in the sand and wanting someone to hold your hand. You get it from living life, getting the wind knocked out of you, getting knocked on your ass a time or two, and then getting back up and dusting yourself off.

I “cut through it all” because I know myself for the most part. I cut through it all because that is all I’ve ever wanted other’s to do for me. Just say it to me straight. Hit me right between the eyes with it. It’s okay. It may knock the wind out of me, but unless it kills me, I’ll get back up and dust myself off. And if it kills me, then all of my problems are over and I don’t need to worry now, do I?

Now I write blog posts and create videos where I hopefully “cut through it all.” I want to give what I know about a certain topic to you, the reader or watcher, as short, sweet, and to the point as possible. I’m hoping you learn from my mistakes and my successes as well and that you find “the nugget” in it that you can take and apply to your lives.

I’m giving it to you the way that I have always someone to give it to me. Straight and to the point. No bullshit.

According to Sassed12Many, I’m succeeding in that. Thank you for the feedback, Good Sir, it’s much appreciated.
