Some Good Jams

          Man, music is honestly very wild. There are so many genres with a type of music for anyone and everyone, and yet people still got problems huh. Music is more complicated than on first glance. On the surface, its just something we as people like because it sounds good or gives a reason to move our body or do something productive. But it really is deeper than that isn't it? Music is reflective of a person and their thoughts and beliefs. The lyrics are the most obvious, as they may cause a person to relate to them or understand them on a personal level. But you can honestly go even further. The tome of the song, the speed, the notes, everything can reflect a persons subconscious mood, whether they want to reflect on their sadness or get hyped for a grueling workout.
          One of my biggest pet peeves regarding music however is the phrase, "I don't like the song, it's too mainstream". That is just so foolish. First off, there is a reason the song is mainstream, because a lot of people thought it was a good song! That is why it's mainstream! People enjoyed it, and that is far from something that can invalidate a song's quality. But on top of that, it shows how needy some people are. They just have to be different from the group, even if it means pulling some tomfoolery like that. You aren't special because you announce you don't like something many others do like! And that is perfectly okay. You don't have to be different or stand out all the time. You have to strive to be yourself and let people see you for you and just let the rest happen. Don't be a fool.

Spiderman 4: Into the Metaverse

 At first, I thought I was going to write about Facebook doing a complete rebrand as a company and their transformation into "Meta". On Oct 28th, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company Facebook was more than just the platform Facebook and that the company name no longer encapsulated everything the company was trying to do. And just as  Google in 2015 had a restructure into parent company Alphabet, Facebook (the company) is now Meta. But as I did more research on what that entailed, I realized it's not really Facebook (from here on out Meta by the way) that I care about. Meta is just one small piece of this mess. Because, and call me cynical, I am one of the many who believe that Mark is just trying to move past all of the large pitfalls his company has recently encountered. I mean everything from large Instagram and Facebook outages to the recent whistleblower and the "Facebook Papers" cannot be good for the company name. I mean since really the beginnin...

The NFTea on NFT Video Games

 For the sake of clarity, I will do the briefest of recaps on what an NFT is before delving into my main business for today. An NFT, or "Non-fungible token" can be thought of as a purchasable digital proof of authenticity linked to a digital work. When an NFT is minted and sold on a marketplace, it can be bought and the buyer will receive the work and the digital code to mark their ownership. The word "receive" is not literal, as there is no physical work mailed to them. This is where most people get tripped up. Yes the work is digital and anyone can simply hit right-click and download the art. But then again, I don't have to pay millions at auction to own the Mona Lisa, I can order a cheap print of Amazon. Think of the NFT as being the mark that the buyer has rights to the authentic original. Yes, there are plenty of arguments against NFTs, from their use to their adverse effects on the environment. But, I am in no mood to get to them now and lucky for me this ...

Stoner Cats: The Cash Grab We All Should Have Expected

Yeah I'm talking about NFTs and crypto again. What of it? It annoys me. Although it is partially on me, since most of research now a days is crypto related so are a lot of my advertisements and suggested content. Anyway, onto the title of this blog. I suppose that, like a lot of these NFT "projects" we should go back to the beginning. This one is a doozy. Stoner Cats is an animated series revolving around six cats and their owner. Oh, and the cats are high on marijuana. That's it, that is the show. The project is consisted of multiple episodes (three as of the time I am writing) and claims it will go on for multiple seasons. On the Stoner Cats website , they say that the project was conceived sometime before 2020 and was later picked up by Orchard Farm Productions. The actual production of each episode is being done by Ghostbot Studios. They are a San Francisco based animation house that has worked on high profile projects in the past such as "Lost Treasure Hunt...
