If it was easy you wouldn’t be here.

Thanks for the code!
Hmmm, here’s a first; Roc posting something useful AND intelligent! Yeah, yeah, laugh it up chuckleheads.
Was just playing around with the Twitter hashtag widget. Thought it might be slick to have that down the right hand column of my blog; maybe start promoting the #rocsgirls hashtag a bit more or something. Continue reading
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
DAY 2
Hmmm, only one entry/exit within the last 24 hours, I thought to myself. That told me one of two things. Either someone within the alliance had found the wormhole, and had come to scout it out to give our pilots a better understanding of what type of force would be needed to eliminate the present Sleeper threat (*EDITOR’S NOTE WIDE AWAKE). Or someone with less than pleasant intentions had scanned down this system in the hopes of finding and engaging me. Continue reading
Fandom
Self-absorbed, narcissistic, egomaniacal, cocky, arrogant, blowhard. Those are some of the nicer things I’ve been called on this blog by my detractors. It puzzles me honestly in some ways. I mean, if you really aren’t a fan of someone, why make the effort to come to their website, experience what they have to offer, then criticize in a non-productive way? It honestly is counterintuitive to me that people do this. If there is some form of media out there that I do not enjoy, I don’t go out of my way to experience it, only to comment on how much I don’t like it. Continue reading
Roc’s Rule #357
I love the sound of a woman’s laughter, just not when I’m naked.
Forgiveness and Permission
It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.
A famous quote overused as a rationalization for poor behaviour. It’s like when people say I’m sorry. My response has often been “If you were really sorry, you wouldn’t have done it in the first place.” That doesn’t always apply, like if you accidentally knock someone over while engaged in conversation with someone else while walking through a busy promenade. In such an instance, you might be genuinely sorry. Continue reading
Roc’s Rule #356
Never leave a thank you note after sex.
Harlon Mathuin – Day 0
A lot of people talk the talk. There are some that think all my ego does is talk; at least until they meet me. That is usually when they hate me more because they see I actually walk the walk as well, and let me tell you, it’s not an easy walk.
Transforming your life is a full-time hobby, whether it’s physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, educational; doesn’t matter. It’s not something you will achieve overnight. It takes years to sculpt yourself from what you were into what you want to be. The good news is, with a little encouragement, qualified instruction, and consistency, you will see results within the first few weeks, so don’t be discouraged.
Case in point, Harlon Mathuin. Continue reading
Roc’s Rule #355
When asked if you believe in reincarnation, simply reply “Not this life.”
OOC: This Roctober
Hard to believe the Roc Wieler Anthology YC 113 is almost complete, but I feel good about this upcoming release. It’s been a long journey creatively since my early days of composing the original Bio CD, but rest assured, I’m going back to my orchestral soundtrack roots.
This will be my fourth EVE Online inspired album. Can you believe it? If you haven’t heard of me, or any of my audio works, please visit the links below, where you will find free samples of the songs, as well as other related information. My albums are available through iTunes, on Amazon, and are carried by over 30 other digital distributors nowadays. Go me.
YC 113 has been a passion of my heart, and throughout all the frustrations, the learning curves to create the things I hear in my head, the delays when software/hardware decide not to work, I think that this album is the closest I’ve come to realizing my true vision for a story in as much as One Night of Roc was my live concert master work.
YC 113 is my love story to the universe of EVE Online, with anthems for each nation, including pirate factions, as well as song tributes to some key personalities within our universe that have affected and influenced me over the years.
It is my deep and sincere hope that you will do everything you can to help me promote this album, and as such, here is the official teaser trailer for your enjoyment, along with a fancy wallpaper:
Full sized version available HERE
Keep an eye out in the coming weeks as complete tracks of my music have been known to show up on http://www.grooveshark.com, and I heard it through the grapevine that Bio may be uploaded to GrooveShark in its entirety! Wouldn’t that be something.
As always, you have my sincerest thanks for all the support you’ve given to me in everything I do. We truly are a wonderful community.
