Jobs —
How I feel when I apply for 47 jobs online in which I have 27 years of industry experience, and the receptionist acts like I’m an idiot for calling to follow up and talk to someone in person:
Mercy —
I want to believeThat I’m at the mercyOf all the stars above me
Meta’s $197 Billion Surge Is Biggest in Stock-Market History —
I just love reading headlines like this, when I’m working my ass off and can barely keep the lights on in my own fucking house… https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meta-200-billion-surge-biggest-152002946.html Is there any room in the world for a determined, passionate human being that truly wants to change the world for the better? All I want is enough money […]
People Problems —
Dare I say, in the United States? Child porn isn’t a technology problem. It’s a people problem. Mass shootings isn’t a gun control problem. It’s a people problem. “Far right”, Neo-Nazism and MAGA isn’t a politics problem. It’s a people problem. Human beings need to come together, now more than ever. We’ve been divided and […]
“I Still Have a Dream” by Bert [Kosmic FreeMusic Foundation] (1996) —
I was going to post this track here and talk about how much it has meant to me over the years. I was going to say how it’s my go-to track for when I’m feeling like some old school 90’s electronic. How I downloaded it from some unknown place, maybe a LAN party, maybe an […]
Repetition —
You wanna know the secret to success? Repetition. It’s no more complex than that. Music and rhetoric. Art and politics. You wanna steer a people? Repetition. We’re all fucking apes. We think we’re so smart, so evolved… go fuck yourself. We’re animals, feeding off of the umbilical residue of generations before us… In the end, […]
Boo, Earth —
Nothing to Gain —
I know I’ve written about Mudvayne before, and the song “Nothing to Gain” (from L.D. 50) has always stuck out to me with its eccentric time signatures. I was just listening to it again after some time. Parts of the song, including the outro, are in 17/8. Yeah, you read that right. And it fucking […]
Shallow and Pedantic —
I really am a pedantic piece of shit, aren’t I? “Network Interface Card card”
Fists —
Something in my fists I punch out with it I can feel it leaving me Like a bright flowing stream Of light and negativity This stale, blocked chi Thank you for leaving me Grounding, turning to nothing Disappearing
Existential Crisis —
I’m caught between my irritation of my neighbor’s kids going outside every day to play, screaming/yelling everything for hours outside my office window… and my jealousy of them enjoying being outside so much.
Tell Them That —
It’s like what happened before. Only it’s the other way around. Smart.
Weighted Upvotes —
I think the social media space needs weighted upvoting. What I mean by this is that you can upvote *more* than your ‘single-vote’ count, depending on your current allotment of…oh I don’t know.. “vote currency” ? Hopefully you know what I mean. Maybe you’d get a certain amount for how much time you spend on […]
On Awareness of Awareness —
Contemplating awareness itself is a satisfying but tricky task. Many people have said during the conversation of meditation to me, “But how can you think about not thinking? Isn’t that still thinking??” Yes, and you should stop thinking about not thinking, and just not think ;)

Random idea #5478237 —
(straight from the stickynote..please forgive the run-on sentences, it was a very ‘stream-of-consciousness’ thing) A cartoon musical number where Donald Trump and Eric/Don Jr/etc. are there as kids asking what they should do since they won’t be able to afford some extravagant thing if the bank loan rate is that high, and Donald burst out […]
When the Game is Over… —
“When the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.” – Italian Proverb (via Powerctl on Slashdot)
Memory #9272748 —
My grandparents on my mother’s side had a hearing aid business/office when I was little. I remember my parents dropping me off there on occasion to “work”, my grandparents assigning me some duties such as sorting the small glossy brochures for different products. I remember sorting through them as quickly and efficiently as possible, to […]
He wants to go to prison —
The optics would be perfect.
WTF Musk —
Musk has apparently gone full-on troll against Wikipedia. It’s really sad to see somebody who has done so much for scientific progress stoop so low in his public interactions. I’m honestly ashamed I ever looked up to him as an entrepreneur and cheered my son on years back to write a school report on of […]
Heels —
You’re pathetic But to your credit You’re the main character I don’t get it Sucks up your debt For all it’s worth Dig in your heels Big in the feels You don’t see what’s real You don’t see what’s real Win one over, nothing is colder, but you’ve got a coat So far ahead, but […]

Explore the Space —
“It’s important that we explore space and the universe. We need to explore other planets. Esp. those nearest to us in Andromeda, so we can view them as a threat.” –J0hnny Rayg0n
“Artifacts” (from 2018) —
Thought that this was interesting listening to after 5 years as I’m going through the process of giving my past audio blogs relevant filenames. Like a visit from the past.
Time For Money —
Am I gonna trade my time for moneyOr am I gonna change the worldFocus my light to a dollarWatch the edges curl Should I live by the riptideAnd extinguish my flameI could ask you what to doBu I know what you’ll say
Conspiracy Theory #892745: Social Networking Stats —
I wonder if the big social networks (looking at you Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) artificially slow their site responses to inflate the “time spent on our platform” KPI.
Apologies —
How hard is an honest apology to some people? …Or is it just not in them?
14th Amendment —
Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other Rights
Luddites vs. Loom Machines —
There’s a lot to be worried about in this late-stage of capitalism and humans.. AI infiltrating art itself, for example. What humans need is a universal agreement that technology != art. We need to separate art and technology. We’ve got to understand again that the value of art is that it is created by humans […]
