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...

Writing About Dune Before I Get Sued

I have a couple stories in the works right now, but I figured until I'm done with those I would post a little something to entertain you guys. Now, to be fair, I originally saw this on TikTok, but the more I looked into it, the funnier it got. And if you don't care about background, I would skip down to point #2, because that's where things get really funny.   Around 1975, about 2 decades after Frank Herbert wrote his sci-fi novel Dune , Alejandro Jodorowsky wrote a colossal attempt of a movie adaptation. This infamous script would have boasted a massive budget, with names being mentioned like Pink Floyd, Mick Jagger, and Salvador Dali. This project is well known as "the most famous movie that was never made". An absolute titan of work, there are 10 original copies of this storyboard. Note that these are copies about the making of this proposed film, filled with story ideas, concept art, dialogue, and much more in English and in French. This is not the original bo...
