Imagine that some hair-brained plan of mine fell through and I ended up with a metric assload of money. Most people wouldn’t have a clue what to do with it, but I would.

Since I dabble in audio engineering, I would love to make something like that my full time job or profession. And since I am naturally a generous person, I would like others to benefit as well.

So, what would I do? I would probably set up a Music Nexus. By the way, feel free to implement this yourself if you like, because the world could use lots of places like this. Hell, if anything, give me feedback. I would like to know if anything I mention here is in any way feasible.

I guess this comes up sometimes when I talk to people online. Especially religious people. But I think it merits a post on my blog, and my blog needs a new post. So this is me killing multiple birds with one stone.

So, when religion comes up, I do have to confess I am an Atheist. What makes me a bit different from your typical Atheist is that I am a natural one. What does that mean, really? Well, it means that I never actually grew up with a religion. The first time I encountered religion is when I was around 6 or 7 (not completely sure about that, it’s a long time ago), and that’s way too late for religious indoctrination. Which leaves my “religion”-module in my brain (of which the existance I am uncertain, but I heard there were studies confirming such a thing exists) pretty much unpopulated. I’ve filled in that void with LaVeyan-styled Satanism (I might devote a blog post about that) and a dash of occult esotericism and paganism, but it leaves me with one pretty significant downside: I really don’t understand religion.

Distracted?

Yeah, those are a thing. At least they are to me. Ever since I’ve took an axe to most of the distractions on my phone (also known as notifications), I’ve been a lot more productive, and where I have not been productive, my slacking has become productive. While I’m not distracted by notifications from social media, I’ve been able to tend to projects that I had put off for half a year, if not more. Getting this done pretty much cut my hosting costs in half.

Oh, boy. Where do I begin?

As you probably have heard, someone decided to go to the YouTube HQ near San Francisco to shoot the place up. When the news first broke, ‘progressives’ naturally assumed the perp was white, male and conservative. Imagine the shock when it broke that the shooter was female, vegan/animal activist/extreme left, and Iranian. Even though I felt terrible about it, I couldn’t help but laugh. It just proves the point I have always made when it comes to these things. It’s not the weapons. It’s the people wielding the weapons.
