Procrastination, blocks, and other forms of underproductivity aren't due to laziness or lack of discipline, but disempowerment. Disempowerment means you’re not missing anything you need to be productive: you’re just separated from, or have lost access to, that which you have–i.e., your strengths, skills, talents and energy. (Laziness, etc., are symptoms, not causes, so please don’t focus on them.)

Robert Rife loves dark comedy, science fiction and horror. The more twisted, strange, irreverent, and weird it is... the better. Just like he is. And he thrived for years in the same legalized thievery as his ethics bereft protagonist. Plus, having been married and divorced twice, he’s been told tons about being NOT human. Yes, tons... he could write a book. This scribbling reptile is a great dad, failed husband, and all-around horse's butt. He lives on an island off the coast of Washington. Under a rock. Only Santa and large women of dubious character are allowed to visit. Santa often skips.
