All I can say is,
We fucking told you.
Trump: “The Enemy From Within” (Democrats) —
What.
The.
Fuck.
Gaslighting —
Gaslighting is defined as manipulating someone into questioning their own perception of reality.
P.S. I wonder if the definition holds when you go full-throttle from the very start..?
Trump at His Finest: “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a fucking Mexican!” —

Stand Up —
Listen America:
To Trump, and to those who follow him religiously (including some in Congress), there’s no differentiating between the ones he hates.
- Illegal immigrants
- Transexuals
- African Americans
- Feminists, any woman who doesn’t like him
- “Woke” people (Liberals/Democrats, RINOs, and anyone else who doesn’t subscribe to MAGA)
He’s going to go through his list one by one. Many of the people above are part of MAGA families.
He’s starting with the ones that most people may not involve themselves with: Illegal immigrants. He’s going to use our military to deport them, and has said that there’s no price tag on getting them out.
I’ve got a question for you: Does anybody actually BELIEVE he’s going to stop there? No. He’s going to go through his list, one by one. People like him are never satisfied. They’ll never sit back and say, “Wow, America is GREAT AGAIN!” or whatever because there will always be those who oppose him. And as long as he doesn’t have 100% LOYALTY…he won’t stop.
We need to STAND UP TOGETHER. We need to stand up and tell him we’re not going to take ANY of his shit anymore.
You know, all of this stuff wasn’t that much of an issue before 2015 during the election. I can remember that far back.. I, along with most other sane people, were shocked and disgusted at how he tore apart the political norms of the campaigning process. Not that it was perfect before then, but Trump ripped up the ideals of decency and respect and even the law. We have to remember that THIS IS NOT NORMAL.
STAND UP. We’ve got to stand up for ALL of the above groups, and everyone else, together. This is the only way the people can win against a tyrant. Stand up for what’s right, just, for EVERYONE.
JUSTICE FOR ALL.
Don’t budge.
Influence Campaigns —
So, I guess years-long foreign disinformation and influence campaigns against American voters worked.
You all cool with that?
Unbelievable —
Good work America, you elected a felon as your leader.
I kinda get podcasts now —
I’m just riffin’ daaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwggg….but podcasts are kinda like virtual friends that talk to you about stuff you both like. You don’t get to talk back, but there’s still a connection because it feels like they’re talking to you.
There are so many out there, it’s a different social ecosystem than any other. There is commercialization (ads, sponsors, etc.) but not for all of them. I get the feeling like many do it for nothing other than themselves and connection to others.
MAGA….Again? —
“Make America Great Again” 2024?
Wasn’t the whole compromise in 2016, “Give Trump a chance” ?
We did that. Remember what happened?
He had 4 years to accomplish it. What did he do instead?
Well, he complained, deflected, completely mismanaged a global pandemic which ended up killing millions, got impeached twice, incited violence hate and prejudice of every type, broke the law countless times, and refused to acknowledge his defeat while inciting a mob that murdered police who were defending our nation’s capitol.
We gave him a chance. Anyone who’s willing to give him another is a fucking fool.
250th —
I thought about this yesterday…
Who do you want to say you elected as president for America’s 250th anniversary?
- The first woman president EVER
- Another tired, wrinkly old white guy
Stalker – New Layer —
I haven’t played this song in decades but last night I was listening to some old tracks on my Soundcloud. Interestingly enough I didn’t play this song, but this morning I randomly started playing it (I haven’t picked up my bass in weeks =( )
I started recording and came up with a cool and simple chord layer for part 3, here it is (4 bars in). I think it sounds pretty cooooooooooool
Live Sink Reaction —
It’s About Time —
‘The Media’ sucked Trump’s dick in 2015/2016 out of fear and guilt.
It’s about time that they reversed the narrative.
Fucking thank you.
AI Replacing Traditional Search —
I hate how ‘AI’ is replacing traditional keyword type search. I feel like I have to spawn an extra process in my brain just to try to figure out what the ‘AI’ wants from me, so I can formulate my search accordingly.
JUST LET ME FUCKING TYPE IN WORDS. I don’t want to PRETEND LIKE I’M TALKING TO A PERSON but it’s not REALLY A PERSON so I have to figure out what kind of things to tell a NON-PERSON so they FUCKING DO WHAT I WANT IT TO DO.
FUCK
Sometimes —
Sometimes I feel like I’m playing out a an existential role as some former god who’s battling evil via proxy of technology.
2nd Amendment & Gun Control —
My father taught me about guns when I was 10 years old. And he did a damn good job.
You see, his side of the family came to America in the 1600’s. We have very strong roots here.
When it comes to the topic of firearms, I refer, and truly believe in the U.S. constitution’s interpretation of our right to keep and bare arms. This right is granted so we, as humans, are given the legal right to equally defend ourselves from all enemies, foreign and domestic*.
* This is what I presume we all can agree on. Read on…
We need to talk about that.
To those who have followed me for any amount of time here, you’ll quickly conclude that I’m fairly “left” leaning, in general. But let me tell you something.
Nobody wants to be oppressed. Nobody wants to be slaughtered by their own people. Just look at what’s happening right now in the world.
We all have the right to defend ourselves and those we wish to protect, if it comes down to that.
But honestly, this isn’t about guns, whether it’s a .22 or an AR-15. It’s about revenge, and anger, and mental illness, and cult-esque mentality, and disconnectedness to our fellow humans.
It’s also about lack of proper education of the respect, safety and proper use of firearms…as well as the cultured and deeply important early history of guns in America. It’s about the result in the lack of education, by children and adults alike, who are careless with their weapons, who don’t understand that when you pull that trigger, you better be damn sure that you understand the long-lived consequences of hitting whatever you’re looking at through those sights.
We need to fix our culture. This didn’t used to happen.
It’s about the motivation all of these kids have to actually pull off such a fucking crazy act of violence at school, who lack the emotional and empathetic maturity to digest the widespread consequences of their self-centered act. It’s about the mentally ill and easily influenced with dark, violent tendencies who are chosen to be taken advantage of by those who wish to be puppetmasters, who go out into a concert or parade and kill the innocent, just because, at the core, they disagree with their life choices.
It’s about political extremism that’s so incredibly charged right now. It’s about the actual decision of the human being to kill other human beings. That’s what needs to be eliminated – the motivation. If we cared about each other more, there would be far less motivation to do harm.
The tool used doesn’t fucking matter. People will a way to do it. aren’t available, there’s knives to stab with, there’s cars to run over with, there are planes to crash into buildings, there are 3D printers and basic ingredients that, when combined or used in a context not intended, can do harm… We can’t outlaw everything. So why bother with guns at all? The 2nd amendment still applies. We have the right to defense. Not to mention the many other use cases, including sport.
The societal, political, and in many cases cultural bankruptcy we all experience as Americans is not as well handled by some than with others. Of course people are going to act like this. We need to understand why, and mitigate the shit out of it.
Don’t Forget Last Time —
Ok. At least at the moment, the future of the United States looks promising.
But we need to talk about something.
Last time, people got lazy. They didn’t vote. They thought it was a sure thing.
And look what happened.
When it comes time, get your fucking asses out there and VOTE. I don’t care if you think it doesn’t matter, that your vote doesn’t count, blah blah blah.
Let’s bury this wanna-be dictator once and for all. Let’s show the world the real numbers, who we are and who we want to be. Keep that motherfucker out.
Because if he’s put back in, that’s going to be all she wrote.
AI With Arms —
I think AI is best when coupled with arms.
And legs.
And hands.
That can sort through my receipts, do my dishes and laundry…
Basically, Rosey from The Jetsons.
Why don’t we have that?
Maybe Something.. —
You should be able to password protect any software program on your computer.
In Linux, the solution could be a simple zenity and/or bash hack to encrypt + decrypt your user config and data for said software program with gpg or something. You could provide your passphrase with zenity or another utility for the [de]crypting. Upon exit the user config and data would be re-encrypted. Or something. I have no idea.
Happy 250th, ya filthy animal —
“The former president routinely promotes falsehoods and conspiracy theories.“
I never thought this would become ‘normal’. Not even for this short period of time.
I sure hope that all of this is just a decades-long orchestrated narrative that’s supposed to pump us all up for USA’s 250th anniversary.. you know, as in a hero comes in at the last moment to save the world and the day, teaching us all an 80’s after-school-cartoon-special lesson about how important integrity is.

Curse of Consciousness —
I wouldn’t recommend the pursuit of consciousness to anyone. I would not have chosen it for myself. I didn’t. It chose me. If it hasn’t called your number yet, don’t worry. It will, eventually.
It will draft you from your small life and make impossible demands. You will say, “No”, “It can’t be done”, or “I don’t want to” and it will laugh at your naivety. It will speak to you in symbols, a language you don’t know.
It will shake the stable earth. It will break your mirrors and douse your life with gasoline. It will light your spirit on fire. You will die and give birth to yourself in the same instant, again and again.
You will realize that Shakespeare was right. That all the world is just a stage. You will wonder why you’ve been playing so small a part. For an instant, you will be ecstatic. You will attempt to embrace your epic proportions until you will collapse back into your reality.
You will question your sanity. Constantly. You will conclude that you are crazy. Then, correct. Then, crazy. Then, brilliant. Then crazy again.
You will remember that you are God having a human experience. Then you will remember you are just you—weeping, screaming, slaving and all that makes you “YOU”. You will ask yourself again whether you are just delusional. Then you will realize that we all are delusional, and those of us who can analyze our delusions are called artists, scientists, and philosophers.
You’ll wonder what kind of cruel joke this world is, and yearn for a home you can only remember by feel—fuzzy, glowing golden, drenched in light. You’ll find gratitude for your suffering. You will also realize that suffering has no value. Out of your wailing, flailing despair you will realize that your love has been inverted.
You will see that you contain all opposites and spend many years trying to figure out which one is true, and snuff out the one you believe to be a lie. You will try to murder yourself, and fail. You will change your mind and reverse your strategy. And again. This tactic is a pendulum shaped like an axe that swings wild and wide. This is how you will die the death of a thousand cuts.
When you grow bored of bleeding out you will decide you are great enough to contain all opposites. You will attempt to love them, equally. But you won’t. You will conclude that good and evil is an opinion. You will begin to question how your opinions have developed. You will keep some, and discard others.
You will reason that if the same intelligence that holds the cosmos together, that keeps the sun at perfect distance, that spins the earth, is present in all things then maybe, just maybe, even this is somehow perfect—its horror and its ecstasy.
Don’t buy the fairy tales written by spiritual gurus and career consultants recycling from each other. They have too much to gain from selling you something that cannot be owned. If you buy it, all you will get for your trouble is the knowledge that you are broken. It will make you feel like you are wrongly put together. Because your own journey is not like the escalator ride up the mountainside that they’ve promised you. Not even with all your meditation, yoga, or group chanting.
The art of becoming conscious is like any other art—you must find your medium, your talent, and your unique approach to expressing the themes that move and torment you the most. Finally, you must grow the patience and courage to claim your impossible dream. Doing this will take mastery over the forces of density and duality. Mastery over your many faces, the thoughts that burn you at the stake, your own terror.
No. I wouldn’t recommend the pursuit of consciousness to anybody, but should you find yourself pursued, there are a few things you should remember—you can’t outrun it because even though it may announce your number through seemingly external circumstances, the motor of consciousness is inside you and it will pull every curtain in your life down if you refuse to submit.
There is no map, so don’t buy yours secondhand. The gurus can’t save you. The career can’t save you. The relationship can’t save you. You will only find your way one step at a time. Listen to others, if you want, and learn, but don’t make the mistake of thinking they know the way home. If they did, they would be there by now.
And while we’re at it, there is no “there.” You don’t know who you are. Where you’ve come from is unknown. Where you’re going is mysterious. What your soul commands of you can only be found within you. No one else knows what you are here to do. And for now, here is all there is.

Instagram vibes —
It’s weird. Instagram, to me, feels like an 80’s music video (VH1 or MTV, pick one) where everyone is looking directly at the camera and singing, but it’s all cut together like public access.
Rameses B – Meaning Of Life —
“You will simply become, completely absorbed in sound
And therefore you will find yourself, living in an eternal now
In which there is no past, and there is no future,
It all becomes one doing… one happening
You will simply become, completely absorbed in sound
And therefore you will find yourself, living in an eternal now
In which there is no past, and there is no future,
It all becomes one doing… one happening
When we make music, we do it, to improve your mind.
To improve your character
And
Bring us into a state of peace where we can understand that the point of life
Is simply here and now
The journey itself is the point
The playing itself is the point
You will simply become, completely absorbed in sound
And therefore you will find yourself, living in an eternal now
In which there is no past and there is no future
It all becomes one doing… one happening“

I’m sorry – How, exactly is this Freedom of Religion?
Coincide —
Looking at you, like
You could see what I do
Showing you the songs
That made me feel like
It was all worth something
And I got so lucky…
Now I want to spread it out far and wide, to
Catch you all on this ride
What’s yours is also mine
It can all coincide
It can all coincide
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 in this together. Let’s forge a path forward for us *all* to grow, prosper and tackle all of the other problems we face as a nation.
