The Best of GhostofSocrates

youtube.com/@ghostofsocrates

I transformed my YouTube channel into “GhostofSocrates” in late 2023, while I was still recovering from when I got hit by a car. While laid up at home with nothing to do but sit around on my phone, I decided to start learning how to make music. It started with me just posting videos of beats I made, but over time I wanted to add some visuals to the music. Then those visuals evolved into me wearing a lobster costume while jump kicking Hulk Hogan (no I will not explain).

This compilation video offers a pretty decent idea of what kind of music I make and what GhostofSocrates has become. It may also be incriminating evidence concerning the state of my mental wellness, but that’s a topic for another time.

Peace Love and Lobsters to you all.

Simple Life Advancement Plan

I call it the “S.L.A.P.” method.

SLAP your way to success!

(Actually I just made up that name as I’m writing this.)

I’m a martial arts instructor, but I am always first and foremost a student. My goal is to learn, and I like to share what I’ve learned with anyone interested in listening. As I’ve been working towards improving the quality of my life since my accident, I’ve come across a few simple but effective ways to help me achieve goals and improve myself and my life in small but meaningful increments. Here’s what I’ve found so far. If you’re interested in getting a SLAP to get yourself into gear, read on…

Self-Titled Track

Self-Titled Track by GhostofSocrates

This video is partially blocked on YouTube because of some Hulk Hogan footage I used near the end. My apologies to Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, India, Maldives, Bangladesh, Russia, Bhutan, and Afghanistan for not being able to watch it on YouTube. You can watch it here instead.

And while I’m here, I’d like to explain more about what the GhostofSocrates brand is about. It’s a reference to the spirit (the attitude and vision) of the Socratic Method. Questions are good. They help us seek knowledge and truth. Questions help us learn something new. For the past year, I’ve been slowly learning more about music theory. I posted my first beat on YouTube eight months ago. Six months ago I started learning the guitar.

I’m not doing any of this for money. I’m doing it for fun and for the love of music and passion for creativity. It means a lot to me, even when I’m dressed like a lobster and jump kicking Hulk Hogan in the face.

LOBSTEP!

Lobster Dubstep Dance Music

It’s been a while since I’ve done anything with this blog. A lot has happened in my life and I’m sure I’ll share some of it here.

For now, I’ll share some of the music I started making.

LOBSTEP is a genre I created because I’ve learned not to take myself too seriously and have fun. 🦞
