The Shark

Gonna be trying to do some cleaning up around here over the next few weeks.  I'm going back to the studio to finish everything up this Friday!  In the meantime, gotta make everything look nice and consistent so I can effectively try to promote this record.  Being an independent artist is like being a record label and an artist all at the same time so I'm grateful to my Sphere Music Group family for helping me keep things together!  I probably won't have much else to say here from now until the album is out so now you can begin to wait anxiously if you like...  The Shark is coming!

In real life, there are no winners or losers

In real life you just have to make do with what you're given and what you take for yourself. I don't enjoy taking things and I hate being given them even more. The color of the sky has been unnaturally blue lately. Where has all the pollution gone? I've been seeing lots of beautiful days lately and I'm not happy. It must be the weather. It must be the environment. They found a lot of plastic and trash in the pacific ocean apparently recently that is the accumulated refuse of 3 continents pooling together to form a new landmass, thanks to the energies of our hard working oceans. The trash has been swirling around and combining and breaking down into it's base molecules. The trouble, so everyone says is that those molecules are unnatural and will end up lodging themselves in fish and other marine life, thereby slowly eating away and destroying the ecosystem. What people fail to realize is that there will be creatures that adapt and will learn to exist in our trashy oceans. There will eventually even be a landmass that will probably form on the surface if this continues, one that life will be able to start breeding and existing upon. Just like this place.

To be honest I've been in a pretty down sort of mood lately. I've been finding myself actually reading comments that people leave on websites at the end of articles that I subscribe to. I find over all, when they aren't completely unrelated or misunderstanding the intention of the article that they follow, they are insulting at best, vapid at the least. I'm amazed based on some of the responses that these people had the cognitive ability to string together sentences of words at all. That they are not only capable of doing so, but seem to actually believe or stand behind the horrible things that come out of their mouths speaks to a much darker truth I think we're only beginning to get a glimpse of. The internet is the tired worn face of a humanity that has stayed up too many nights drinking. It's the shock of seeing the exposed and rotted arm of a heroin addict on your best friend. I really love humanity a lot. I see a lot of potential and a lot of hope for the future. It's just hard sometimes not knowing if it will ever really amount to anything. I guess ultimately I'm okay with that. It is what it is after all and no amount of blogging will change that.

Hmm...

Okay, so sorry there haven't been any illuminating half-truths or incoherent and vague ramblings lately. I've been reading a lot of science news still though and if you look over on the right side of the page there, you'll see a gadget thing has been added to display news items I come across that I decide to share as an rss feed. I'm going to start sharing any cool articles I find about whatever from my google reader, hopefully to spark conversation but mainly just cause there's some stuff going on that everyone should know about and knowledge is pretty cool. Anyways, so check it out from time to time and hopefully you'll find something interesting there.

Now for my next trick, I'm going to teach you how to destroy reality in a manner that is completely legal. In Texas at least.
