Explanation of what this is

There are hundred's of waiters that call themselves actor's. That guy making your soy frappucino is a musician. You know that because he tell's you almost daily. So from this day forward I will call myself a writer. I may make money on the television and radio but I am choosing to call myself a writer.
From what I can tell in order to call myself a "writer" I need to do one thing.......write

Ive been blessed to have so many jobs from MTV's Headbangers Ball , WCW Wrestling,NASCAR TV & Radio host, Creator of some of the most succesful nightclubs in L.A mainly the CATHOUSE,3 years on Loveline,Talk Radio Host, reality shows from Daisy of Love, Charm School and the Rock of Love Reunions. Ive seen some of my friends become the biggest rock stars in the world. I have interviewed 1000's of the most unique people from sports and entertainment. Ya the boasting is making me sick too.
Ive also lost everything, filed for bankruptcy and had to get a job as a car salesman just to keep the lights on. That is what I do and what I have done but that is not who I am.

One more thing. Kid's or very sensitive folk should not read my blog's just in case I say something a tad risque.

A 3yr old bad review & blog will show u who I am

Jan 6 2011. I understand most of you are not familiar with my writing and do not know what to expect with this blog. Will it be my take on NASCAR's crew chief changes or how bitchen (insert band here) was back in the day. The truth is its ramblings of a mind that is all over the place. I speak openly without thinking about the consequence. I found this blog today dated APRIL 2009. It was from a no name writer who is not a Riki fan. I am used to it. I get criticized for my varied musical tastes, I'm not Metal, Why am I on NASCAR. Ive been getting so many slams for decades. Some of them are hilarious.

 I would love to tell you I'm teflon and everything bounces off but sometimes I let the ignorant get to me. Sometimes I lash out in a blog. Here is a review of Daisy of Love before the show even aired. I was emailed this review probably from the writer himslef
 
Stunningly, the biggest whore on the upcoming Daisy of Love (VH1; Sunday, April 26) probably isn’t titular star Daisy De La Hoya, the rejected cartoon stripper from Season 2 of Rock of Love With Bret Michaels. Nor is it any of the 20 Axe-soaked himbos vying to lavish their affections and/or DNA upon Miss Daisy.

Hell, it’s not even the producers and executives at Vile Horror 1, who keep recycling these reality-dating shows to the point where we’ll actually be disappointed if they don’t make 
Spector of Love when ol’ Phil gets out of jail.

No,  once-upon-a-time Headbangers’ Ball host Riki Rachtman as VH1’s new Alpha ’Ho. He only got his MTV job in the ’90s because he knew Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose (he was a rock star, kids), and everything Rachtman has done since then (from Hollywood club owner to NASCAR radio host—yes, NASCAR radio host) has less to do with talent than a limber gag reflex.
The Rachster’s induction to the ’ho new world of Vaginal Hubbub 1 came last year, when he hosted the “reunion” (read: “staged catfight”) special for Rock of Love 2; he then went on to co-host Rock of Love Charm School with Sharon Osbourne, as well as last weekend’s Rock of Love Bus reunion (read: “obviously staged catfight”). Apparently, he’s impressed/serviced someone at VH1 enough to land a sidekick role on Daisy of Love—a Big John to Daisy’s Bret, if you will.
This was my reply remember it was 2009  Why would I  bring this up...Well first of all its written by a critic. Actors act...writers write...musicians play music and if you cant do any of those things you become a critic this was written by this little dweeb named Bill Frost...THis guy writes for a Salt Lake City Internet site. He has been working for a local paper for decades. THATS IT.. Thats all this guy has done. Do you know what the biggest most read item in his entire career is.  MY BLOG. More people will read his name here than anything he has ever written......EVER.....Why would I mention a NO NAME BITCH CRITIC... Only to like the blog says "reintroduce myself" and Bill has brought up a few good points...
Club owner- Yup at a very young age I created the BEST ROCK CLUB IN HISTORY.
The world famous Cathouse. I also ran the Bordello for a while..Both my creation very popular.. The Cathouse to this day sells t shirts world wide and there has been a project to bring the back story of the Cathouse to film for a few months now...
Yes I got the job hosting HEADBANGERS BALL because of the Cathouse and it may have helped that Axl Rose walked into the audition with me...I hosted the Ball for 5 years....
As stated before I am a Nascar freak so I wanted to work in the sport that I have a passion for and I do...Now Im doing these shows that VH1 has asked me to do...Do you know why I do them #1 Its fun I really have a blast doing them # 2 I get paid for having fun...Of course Billy would rather stay in Salt Lake writing for his internet fanzine. He would never want to do any of these jobs right.....
Heres the capper and a message that I want to convey to all those that talk shit...
I won...I won do you know why I won..... I have a lot of jobs that I really enjoy doing...I cant wait to go to work...Oh yeah. I get  money for all my jobs.
EVERYTHING I DO IS WHAT I WANT TO DO......
Perhaps this nerd really wants to be a writer in Salt Lake City as he has been for over a decade. If thats his goal congrats to you missy.
Not only am I having fun. There are new avenues opening up for me to try new things I have not had the chance to do. Like writing, producing doing something nobody would ever expect me to do...
Its like this.I get paid for doing what I love I'll give you an example
Lets say somebody offered Bill a job sucking dick...How happy he would be. Getting paid for something he loves to do and probably does for free,

Ouch that was kind of harsh Riki. So nice to know that the Riki of 2011 is so different than the Riki of 2009. Ok welcome to my blog please follow it and spread the word.
Chick o sticks for all 

22 Things I will do in 2011

Well RACPAC I have finally completed my list of 22 things I will do in 2011.




 If your still having trouble coming up with your own here are a few guidelines that seem to help I urge you to post your list in the comment section of this blog so you know it is always here. I may update the status of my list every month or so. I really am stoked some of you are into this and because of your comments and the  fear of coming off like a total hypocrite  I now have even more incentive to fulfill my 22 list. What  about the mysticism of number 22. Cmon you know I don’t buy that Hippie crap. If your still having trouble coming up with your own here are a few guidelines that seem to help 
It is important to include several no-brainer fun things. Make Pancakes,Play guitar hero,go to a movie alone, watch a foreign film. Most important  is to
Be specific !!!! 
Example : I want to find true love......First of all you cant go find it  and usually what you thought was true love wasn’t in the first place. too vague. You could put  go out on five dates. / 
PLay guitar 7 hours a week. I would change that one as well. What if you cant play one week or only manage 5 hours. Dont set yourself up for possibly making a mistake. I  would put play guitar 1000 hours in 2011 and just mark off the hours.  I didn’t put  run 20 miles a week, sometimes I run more what if Im riding across the country and dont run for two weeks. I didn’t want to look at that list and make an asterisk by a certain week. I put run 611 miles  that way I will check them off as I go.  I would stay away from putting tasks that are beyond your control. I’m all for positive thinking but as I’ve said before I don’t fall for that “Secret” stuff.  I would like another TV show, I would like to be working in NASCAR next year on TV. I put on my list  pitch a show create, new ideas  and put the tools and tasks  it would take to achieve those goals on the list. It is also important to make a list that you realistically will complete... 

So heres mine and feel free to post yours in the comment section

What about the 35 I was supposed to do in 2010

JAN 4 2010 Ok where was I ? Last posting I was trying to motivate myself and others in creating a list of things you must do in 2011. I was looking back on my reasoning for creating such a list last year. Here I was spewing all these positive thoughts like a big happy positive motivational clown. Truth is many of you did follow my lead and when it came right down to it my personal list fell apart. Let's recap last year first. After all my rules on what does or does not make sense on a list this is what I came up with for 35 things to do in 2010

#1 RUN 500 miles did it...I think I lost track but have ran 300 miles since July so I will say thats a yes I have a more acurate way to keep record for 2011 I'll go into that next blog 
#2 READ 4 books NOPE
#3 FIGHT 1 organized boxing match Yes using the word organized and boxing loosely
# 4 FIGHT 7 sparring matchesYes I bled and drew blood. 
#5 RUN 1 5kYes
#6 RUN 1 half marathon NOPE
#7 RIDE Harley 5000 miles Switched bikes mid year but put 4000 miles on it Aug/Sept I'll say yes
#8 RIDE Triumph 1000 miles Lost track probably
#9 SELL 50 items on Ebay If I count all the Cathouse shirts....yes
#10 RACE 2 stock car races I dont think that happened
#11 CREATE 1 New radio show idea Ya created the idea but found out I'm not allowed to do another radio show because of my contract last year
#12 PITCH  1 New radio show see above
#13 WRITE 100 pages of F.I.G. Probably the biggest fuck up of 2010 was my lack of writing. I know this is something I really need to do so I'll make sure to add it on this years list
#14 WRITE 10 pages of S.P fiction It's a pretty cool idea I'll share with you another time but I did not even muster out 10 pages
#15 FILM 3 tv shows I have this little rule about lists like this. Try not to put a task that is beyond your control. I can try to get work on tv this year and no matter how hard I try not get hired however when ever I put film a certain amount of tv shows on my list it happens. I Lucked out on this one by getting booked on the series "Fast Track to Fame in Feb plus I had an appearance or 2 on Speed TV and did several VH1 specials. For the record I have turned down shows and I have also done shows I wish I turned down.
#16 WRITE 12 Big Ass Blogs Ya that has never been much of a problem
#17 SELL 1 style of Cathouse shirt in high end chain That was a bullshit deal that ended up turning out the wrong way but it was for the better. I have always held the Cathouse brand very tightly. I have had to call lawyers when the name is used without permission. A high end t shirt company that makes vintage tee's had a plan to sell the original Cathouse shirt in Bloomngdales, Neiman Marcus etc. The idea was to use a picture of Axl wearing the shirt as the hang tag. No surprise Axl would not agree to their terms and in the long run I like having control of my merchandise
#18 CLEAN R.P.R.Nope
#19 CLEAN Garage It was a much bigger task than I thought it would be but I did it
#20 GOLF 3 times You may think that would be a stupid thing to put on a list. The reasoning behind it would be I would be forced to take a day off or 3 days and go golf. I have been accused of working to much. I am not a golfer. I have gone a few times and even though I really suck I have a good time. Doesnt matter though I didn't golf once
#21 MC 2 big events I had a few Chevy gigs but more importantly I was the host for the Freestyle MotoX Awards. I really had a blast at that one. I am by no means a comedian and have never claimed to be but I can tell you this. When I am on stage talking to a crowd of several thousand and they all start laughing by a comment Ive made. That my friend is instant gratification. I can also tell you what it is like standing in front of several thousand death metal fans in Wisconsin as they proceed to tell you just how much you suck. 
#22 GO 5 auditions I hate auditions I hate the word,I hate actors, I hate playing the game, However its what I sometimes do for a living so I sucked it up
#23 WRITE 1 New pilot 
#24 PITCH 1 New pilotYa I did both #23 and #24 with a NASCAR show nothing happened. I even flew to North Carolina to meet with NASCAR, I dont get some of their decisions but I will tell you I have been busy making the rounds already this year. See I'm doing that Hollywood talk I despise so much
#25 RAISE $3,000 charity Did several charity events but personally did not raise $3,000 which bums me out. Ive always raised quite a bit of cash. Ive written 10,000 checks twice. This year I plan on donating a major portion of the proceeds of the Cathouse 25th Anniversary
#26 TAKE 4 computer classes took zero
#27 LEARN 50 spanish words no thats spanish right?
#28 CHANGE oil on Triumph myself Yes I did this one and changed the oil in the Z06 and Range Rover. Doesnt sound like much but I used to have someone else do it. I will tell you this. We sold the Range right after that because they build the things so you cant do any work on them your self. I get jealous that my friends can build and rebuild cars and bikes. I hope to become more of a wrench this year
#29 FILM 12 Rikicams I may have lost interest but plan to record some new ones this year
#30 WRITE New bio I am getting bored replying to my list of last year Ya I wrote a stupid bio
#31 PITCH Spokesperson gig  I know its checked off my list but I dont remember .Im so particular when it comes to companies I associate myself with, I had been with Chevy for 7 years which made total sense because I am a Chevy guy and the people I was working for . If I do an event for RockStar Energy drink it is because I use the product and think they are good people. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZboring so far
#32 ATTEND 5 yoga classes What the hell was I thinking. I may have had 5 yogurts but did not take a Yoga class
#33 RUN Runyon stairs -5:30 This one was really tough. Its a bunch of stairs on a really steep hill. I finally made it in 5:24 and have not been back there since.
#34 Attend an NFL game Believe it or not I had never been to a football game. Thanks to my friend Kerry from Sprint I saw the Panthers play the Saints last year. I had a  blast. They even won. Since that game last year they have won 2 times. Oh by the way Im the new coach for the Panthers
#35 Win an online Call of Duty Game I think the Panthers win more times than I do playing online video games I SUCK. No really  Im terrible.  I have an Xbox 360 and play call of duty .  I love that game I’m also one of the worst players out there. I dont care. So  one day I played several hours straight and finally I won online . Ya  I didn’t say everything on my list was important. my gamer tag is CATHOUSE86  so if you play video games  you can join me and tell all your friends you  killed Riki Rachtman  72 times.
 
Last year it was all about the 35 list. For 2011 Im changing my list to 22 things I must do and I am really going to complete every item on my list. When I did it last year  the idea really took off and many of you followed me by doing a list yourself Please feel free to post your list on this page under comments  In fear of coming off like a total hypocrite  I now have even more incentive to fulfill my 22 list. You have to understand  this is not the type of thing that I would normally do.  Its very “good”  I've always thought I was one of the bad people. I like being one of the bad people. this isn’t very metal it’s not very punk rock, ya know what. it is what it is and like they say the ends justify the means..... whatever that means. SO HERES YOUR HOMEWORK
Make a list of 22 things you will accomplish in 2011. I'll post some guidelines that might help tomorrow
