ToTD —
That quote in red defines how I feel music should be treated by every true artist at its core — a foundational, instinctual motive to create music not for profit, but for expression. Everything after that is just icing on the cake.
Makes Sense to Me —
This seems to make sense. Not for *all* people, but many I’m sure are too prideful to admit they were conned or taken advantage of. Embarrassing. I want those people know that nobody’s judging them and there’s no reason to feel any shame. Cut your losses; you found him out—leave it at that. We’re all […]
Felon —
I think we all need to take a look at Trump’s track record from 2016-2020. I think we’ve all got a bit of amnesia from what happened, and didn’t happen during that time period, because it seems like we’re all moving forward with the 2024 election like it’s a do-over. Trump had 4 years to […]
Anyone who DECRIES this verdict —
What makes more sense is that anyone who DECRIES this verdict is a danger to you and your family, because they’re not respecting the rule of law, juries made up of people just like you and I, or our legal system on a foundational and constitutional level. I don’t think any Democrat, Independent, or any […]

Where Music (And All Art for That Matter) Deserves to Be Placed in Western Culture —
When people can afford music, they buy or subscribe to it. When people can’t afford music, they download it, rip it, copy it, steal it, whatever. Or listen to it with ads, marketing products and services that put the music on the same level.. But shouldn’t everyone have equal access to music? If you want […]
Trigger —
I think we can all agree that most people aren’t triggered by the _content_ of racist/sexist/transphobic/etc. comments, but solely by the *intent* of them (and the person’s reputation). I’d like to make a video series with puppets, where they all hurl insults at each other based on their appearance or perceived race/sex/etc., mimicking modern human […]
Moon Racing Through an Atmosphereless Sky —
I want to take all this From you I want to take all this From you I want to take all this… Pain Racing through an atmosphereless sky Pain It’s a trip back in time Why don’t they see, I just want it to be Me… A moon, a meteor Exploding like a billion fireworks […]
Religion vs. Moral Compass —
I think that some hardcore religious folks view people who don’t believe in their religion as fundamentally bad, unenlightened or flawed. Evil, in some cases. I personally think that non-religious people are just as moral, ethical and kind as everyone else. They simply don’t subscribe to an organized, official group or way of thinking. They […]

When I close my eyes I see colors inverse Imprinted in my mind

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:

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 ;)
