  • Triumphs and Tragedies

    In this episode I talk about the triumphant release of my

    debut album Say What You Want to Say and the news of my Dad's recent motorcycle
    accident. This leads me to muse a bit about the risks of life and the importance
    of taking and understanding those risks.

  • Season 2 Finale

    In this episode,

    recoded live on May 23rd 2009, I wrap up the second season of the podcast.
    I bring up the average number of listeners and discuss my ambitions to bring
    Season 3 levels back up to Season 1 levels. The problem with this goal being that
    only listeners can advice me on how to accomplish this. I also talk of my book
    in progress A New Beginning and my forthcoming CD Say What To Want to Say. If things go the
    way I would like, these projects along with my podcast will help me build a
    great media empire (yeah right).

    I also discuss the

    dream adult life and the disparity between the dream and the reality that I
    have covered in Season 2. It is my hope that Season 2 proves that I can adapt to
    such a disparity. Lastly, I talk of my plans for Season 3. Expect it to be more
    planned out and dare I say produced more infrequently than Season 2. The Season
    premier will also be a live Blogtalk show. Current plans have it occurring the
    weekend of the July 4th 2009. The official announcement will be posted here on Nicnacjak.com

    Till then have a

    great summer!

  • Growing up with Transitions III: The Reminiscing of the Wannabe Vulcan

    In this episode I reflect on the challenges I faced and covered

    during the course of Season 2. Specifically, the trauma of being unable to fill
    a role of consequence after investing nearly a third of ones life in education.
    How does one adapt to the demands of the modern world; a world that seems indifferent
    to the individuals' endeavor to qualify themselves for skilled labor. What can
    we do as a society to both improve our current circumstances and ensure that we
    don't repeat the same mistakes?

    I also solicit your opinion on theses topics and all prior

    topics brought up in the season. I will be hosting the Season 2 Finale at 1pm pacific (19:00zulu) on May23rd, 2009. You can
    pick up the live stream of the show during showtime at www.blogtalkradio.com /nicnacjak
    and call the show at (646) 716-7136.

  • Quality of Life in the 21st Century (Those Damn Spring Allergies)

    This episode starts the end of season reflection process. What

    makes people like me think they are entitled to a certain living
    standard? Is this a reasonable expectation to have? Where did it come
    from anyway? Lastly, what can be gained when delayed gratification is
    delayed so far that it is never gratified?

  • CtrlAltDeleteEscEscEscapeism

    In this episode I explore the wide world of escapism. This concept

    is a bit ambiguous as it can make life suck more or less depending on
    its uses. During this episode I explore my early adventures in
    escapism and explain why creating escapism for others tends to drain
    the escapism magic from your end product. Lastly, I endeavor to
    explore how one might strike a balance between escapism and reality.
    Can it be done?

  • The Timecapsule Featuring a Socially Inept Teenager

    This episode takes you back 6 to 7 years when Nincacjak was

    starting his senior year in High School. If you think he faces
    insurmountable social barriers today, just wait till you hear what he
    faced several years ago. This episode serves to expand the
    description of the problems discussed in "The Lament of the Lonely
    Isolationist Geek” and give listeners a better idea of how
    Nicnacjak has (or hasn't) evolved since his teens. It also features
    the modern tragic tale of “Bible Reading Girl”.

     

    The issues with the blogpage have been fixed thanks to the great

    community on the Libsyn Forums. Once more, this episode contains
    adult language; listener discretion is advised. If you have comments

  • The Lament of the Lonely Isolationist Geek

    In this episode I examine the origins of my social discomfort.

    Building on the concepts put forth in "Realistically Faithful”. I question the static
    nature of my social discomfort. Is it a ridged limitation of mine or is this a
    dynamic limitation that can be worked around? Is it realistic to search for a
    geeky soul mate or am I setting unrealistic goals?

  • Realistically Faithful

    In this potentially oxymoronic episode I explore the

    possibly of being faithful in a realistic way. My theory is that if you are realistic
    in your approach to life and the goals you set for said life you will achieve a
    greater since of consequence thus making life suck less.

    In the 17th

    life suck less by improving the social environment. I explore the role of the passersby,

    the aforementioned people and wish to cope with them sans that nasty murder
    business

    Some strong language again
