Rusty On The Road - Episode 12 Computer issues and a suggestion to “meditate”, as usual.

Rusty On The Road - Episode 11 This episode is more music and musician related, but it's about putting in the proper time towards something in order to fully understand and learn it. Being mindful of getting past thinking "I'm incapable of doing this" to "Do I want to invest the proper time towards this or not?" Maybe it's just me that subconsciously thinks "I'm incapable of playing this" but actually it's just me being a little lazy or actually incapable of spending the proper time truly trying to learn something.

The introductory episode of "ROTR" - Rusty On The Road. I tend to let my mind wander on the road when listening to podcasts, so it inspired me to share some quick, raw, and hopefully unedited clips of some random thoughts that may inspire you or make you laugh or make you waste your time, lolololol I hope the audio isn't TOO annoying, I did the best I could with my vehicle's microphone!

Today's episode features Stevie Boiser. Stevie is a vocalist for a few different bands, which we certainly discuss.

Today's episode is a conversation I had with John Walsh. John shares his story about being on the receiving end of a pistol... of which was in the hands of someone he loved. We talk about what led to that moment, what his life has been like afterwards, battling depression, PTSD, meditation, photography, etc. There might be some helpful or at least relatable things in here for people dealing with depression or forms of trauma. If you have any input on this episode or about your own battles with trauma and depression and would like to share, please reach out! email: rustydoespodcasts@gmail.com

Where DO thoughts come from??? In this episode I talk to myself about some wild ways that we may be receiving our thoughts. Alternate universes, meditation, empathy, crystal bowl meditation, flying skulls, artificial intelligence, simulated reality, etc. ENJOY Check out podcast episode #464 of The Tim Ferris Show for a great conversation about childhood trauma and therapy.

I recently posted on my social media that I'm trying to take steps back from social media and I explain a bit of it in this podcast while also talking about de-platforming and silencing people and Trump and lizards. Once you hear the part about lizards, you'll be mad at me for piquing your interest by saying lizards, hahahahaha

A Meaningful Existence - I aim to provoke thought on this matter for awe, wonder, and the hope that we focus more on positivity while leaving behind an accurate representation of ourselves for future generations.
