Man I swear, it seems like time flies by so fast when you’re at home and trying to do what you want to do. At work, time slowly crawls by, but at home with all your toys, you look up and its time to go to bed. Usually though, you end up falling asleep at your desk, on the couch, or in your favorite chair. If you work every day, you’re probably extremely tired after work, and it’s very difficult to do anything else but recover to be able to attack the next day.

The older you get the worse it gets, especially if you aren’t in the best of shape. I remember back in the day when I was younger, I would stay up all night playing Quake until the wee hours of the AM. This is when I was like 15 or 16 years old. Now I can’t imagine staying up that damn late. I’d be no good the next day with 1 or two hours of sleep.

I think the play is to submit to the tiredness at the end of the day. Go to sleep early, then wake up early the next day and do your hobbies and stuff then before work. You’ll be rested and can go to 24 hour fitness the gym, or you’ll be rested and can work on your Djing or beatmaking. You can work on your painting or drawing. I love feeling like I’m the only one up at 4am and I have 4 hours before I have to start working. Being able to work from home can help a lot, because you don’t have a 30 min to 1 hour commute.

Where does the time go though? The old adage says that “Time flies when you’re having fun”. Work really isn’t fun, so that explains why the time crawls. What if you could make work fun though? Find ways to enjoy your job and the people associated with it. That’s another play I think would be helpful to us working folks.

Anyway, this was just a quick rant of something on my mind, and I wanted to put a new post up. Have a good rest of the week, happy hump day, and be blessed. L8r!

So I’ve been putting in a lot of work on my MPC Key 61. I’ve uploaded two songs to Distrokid in the last week. I went digging for samples on Tracklib last night and found another good sample that I started a beat with. I’m really enjoying using the MPC Key 61 with MPC 3.0 software. The workflow is easy to use and its a lot of fun.

I’ve been scratching and juggling when I find the time, but I definitely need to make sure I get on my decks more often. I don’t want to lose either skill of beatmaking or djing. For me, those two things are major joys in my life. I love looking for samples online and in record stores. That’s a part of the zen process of beatmaking for me. I am reading a book about sample based beatmaking, and they talk about how digging for sounds/samples is a very important part of the process. It’s an older book so it’s mainly talking about going to record stores and buying vinyl, but these days, you can “dig” online on sites like Tracklib and Splice.

I don’t know what I would do without my MPC Key 61 or SP 404 mk2. Those two devices are very important to me and they are keeping me in a decent space mentally. Music really is important for the soul, and when you make it, its even better than just listening to it. You feel like you’re a part of a tradition and you have contributed to a massive hive mind of music. I don’t really advertise my music, so it’s mainly just a hobby, but I enjoy the fact that a few people have purchased my songs and listened to them.

Maybe once I start adding lyrics to my songs, I’ll advertise them more on Facebook, Instagram, X, and other social media outlets. Hopefully I can use my writing talents to write good music an that it will be cool and refreshing. I want my lyrics to be “about something”, and not just nonsense or debase topics like a lot of emcees talk about these days. We’ll see if I can find the time/motivation to write decent rhymes. Maybe I’ll work on it this weekend with this current beat I’m cooking up. I’ll see you next time!

So I hadn’t checked my site in a while, and I guess my payment method wasn’t working for my web hosting service. I got it squared away though and the site is back up. Not much new to report. MPC 3.0 has finally come out of beta and is in it’s “gold” or “final” version. It’s pretty tight and Akai has actually collaborated with Native Instruments to bring some plugins from NI’s “Play” series to the MPC standalone universe. It’s pretty cool and I’m definitely hyped for it.

I’ve been working on music more, and I want to start adding lyrics to my beats. I know I’ve probably said that in the past, but it’s very difficult for me to find the time and motivation to do it. After work I’m usually so tired that I just gel at my computer desk and MAYBE work on music a bit here and there. A lot of times I don’t even touch my DJ setup. I usually try to wake up in the AM and get some beatmaking and scratching/djing in before work.

I really wish I could find more time to spend on my MPC and DJ setup. This weekend coming up I have a 4 day weekend which, even though I have things to take care of, should give me more time to work on my music as well as some other things I’ve been wanting to tap into. With that said, after that 4 day weekend is up, its back to the grind again where I have to spend majority of my time working and not doing what I really want to do. Ah well, such is life right?

I’m really glad my website didn’t get deleted because of missed payment, and I’m going to start posting more on here. I have some reviews I need to get up in my reviews section and some spirituality stuff to talk (type) about as well. Peace to you reader and I hope you have a good rest of the week. L8r.

So technology is pretty interesting. Human beings have made so many strides in tech over the last 100 years its incredible. Not only that, but the tech average citizens have access to pales in comparison to what the US government and other entities like that have access to.

Word is, they have accessed Stargates and are able to travel between dimensions and things of that nature. They have weapons that can induce a heart attack in a person from afar. A normal healthy person at that. They have weapons that can microwave you from the inside out. I also believe that they have the tech to alter space-time.

I saw a video with a young caucasian boy. It was very obvious from the way he carried himself and the way he spoke that he was an extremely intelligent person. He was discussing the “Mandela Effect” and what causes it. Basically he was saying that “they” were smashing atoms around at the great hadron collider, and they accidentally shifted us into a different dimension, where things are different. There are probably an infinite number of parallel universes that exist along side the one we’re in.

It can be mind boggling to think about, but the universe those of us that are living started in got destroyed in “them” messing with atoms. We then shifted in the the closest parallel universe, and in this universe, Sinbad never played as “Shazam“, but it was Shaquille O’Neal. That’s very interesting to think about, and it can really bake your noodle trying to wrap your head around it.

The point of this blog entry is to say that technology is here and it’s very dangerous. A lot of it has to deal with controlling or destroying the human form in some way. Us as GOD fearing, striving to be righteous people; we need to do our best to understand the technology at play in this reality we’re in. We need to do our research and understand the animal we’re up against as time goes along and cyborgs and robots become a thing.

I don’t have the answer, but I definitely want to stay in the loop on what’s going on and what might exist in the shadows that we aren’t privy to. That’s better than being ignorant and completely unaware of the machinations at play in this matrix we’re in. Peace, love, and light to you reader. Stay blessed.

So I bought a pyramid many months back off Amazon.com. It’s a pyramid that goes on top of your head and is meant to be used in meditation and healing. I have to be honest with you, I feel a difference after I wear it for a while. I think it heals my brain or something like that. The reason I got it is because I’ve seen videos of people using it, and if you put an apple inside the pyramid, and leave it on the counter next to an apple outside of the pyramid, the apple in the pyramid will not spoil like the one outside does.

The people of Ancient Kemet, or Egypt, understood the power of the pyramid shape and used it in their daily life. The Great Pyramid of Giza was most likely some type of power source that may have even healed the populace in it’s heyday. Most people are not aware of the power of the pyramid, and they don’t utilize it. GOD created that power and we should use it to our advantage as best we can. I wear my pyramid on my head when I’m at home, or when I’m driving into work, and on my breaks at work. It keeps me from feeling negative and helps me maintain a positive outlook on life.

I am going to post a video onto my Youtube channel where I talk about it and how it has helped me out as of late. People need to look at our past to discover how we should move into the future. There are things in this world that most of us are not privy to because we’re not taught it and we don’t have the mind to ponder anything outside of the norm. There’s “magic” in this world, and it was put here by the creator. It would be wise for the good people of mankind to utilize this power, because the wicked people are definitely using the dark side of that power on us. Peace, love, and light to you reader. Have a great start to your work week.

So it’s 2025 now and a brand new year. Well at least according to the Gregorian calendar. The “real” new year is in March/April, when Spring comes and the actual world refreshes itself and regrows tree leaves, plants, etc. Anyway, going off the status quo new year, I have different resolutions I want to stick to. I want to work on my music more seriously. DJing and beatmaking need to be something I focus on much more.

Getting rid of the distractions of Youtube and Twitch are very important to me accomplishing that goal. I spend way to much time on those platforms and I need to make sure that if I’m on Youtube it’s because I’m sculping my own channel and trying to get more subs. I will get this done and I will get my music and DJing popping a lot more.

Another thing I want to do is reach out to more people in SoCal who are into making music and Djing. I want to make friends in that space and learn and grow with other people. I’m thinking maybe I can use social media to find those types of people. We’ll see what happens. I trust that GOD will guide me in this endeavor and help me get to where I want to be.

Also, I want to improve myself as an IT professional. I know I need to take classes and learn different skills. We’ll see what happens with that, but it is something I’d like to do with my free time. IT is the career GOD has put me in, so I need to be the best I can be within it. I’m going to ask my supervisor at work if I can get back onto the Udemy account at work. That or I’ll sub to Coursera with a monthly sub and start taking courses on there again. We’ll see what happens. Peace, love, and light to you reader. Stay up.

Well it’s the 1st day of 2025. I pray that this year is a blessed year for everyone. I’m looking forward to what the new year will bring. I’d like to get out of California this year and possibly move to Connecticut with my wife, or some place else that has a cheaper cost of living. Also, I’d like to move some place less crowded. There’s too many people trying to do the same thing at the same time here in Cali.

Prayerfully we can make our escape and get to a quieter pace of life. I know I still have to work for quite a few more years, but my wife is getting closer to retirement age so maybe we could live some place safe, where I could handle the bills and she could retire and go on social security and we’d be fine.

I want to keep making my music as well as DJing. I’m watching a Masterclass video my brother got me for Christmas from Questlove. He’s talking about DJing and curating music playlists and its an interesting video course. A lot of what he’s talking about I already know and understand, but it’s cool to see someone like hims take on the art of Djing.

Hopefully I can connect with some more people this year in the DJing and beatmaking space and get some allies/comrades I can share my love for those things with. Here’s to a great 2025 and beyond!

If anyone does come and read my blog, I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. This year has been a trip and a half with all the things going on in mass media and social media. The election, and all the drama that ensues with politics. We the people need to galvanize and work to make the world a better place for ourselves. I know that a lot of people don’t want to hear the truth about this reality we are in, but eventually they will need to face facts.

A lot of the people we are told to look up to are not very good people, and they have no intention of changing. They are rich and powerful because of that fact. Money makes this wicked, material world go round, and those who have the most of it have carte blanche with what they can do in this world. My advice to any normal citizen of this world is to stay righteous, keep moving forward, and open your mind to other possibilities. There is a lot going on in this world right now and sticking your head in the sand is not the answer to making it a better place.

Seek knowledge and understanding, use the brain GOD gave you, and don’t believe everything you see or hear. If it’s on the TV it’s most likely a lie or fabricated. Just because someone smiles or banters with you doesn’t make them a good person. People do very evil things in the dark and you need to be aware of that fact to keep yourself and your family safe. Just because you don’t want to face negativity and evil doesn’t make it magically go away. Put on the whole armor of GOD and fight for what is right. Peace, love, and light to you. L8r

So we had to put our dog Maggie to sleep this past Monday. It was really difficult, and I’m still not feeling well about it. We had her for about 13 to 14 years and she was a part of our life on a daily basis. I walked her at least twice a day every day and she was such a big personality in the house. When I got her from the pound so many years ago, there was a note on her cage saying that the previous people brought her BACK to the pound after getting her because she barked too much.

That was very true about Maggie. She loved to bark…at people, other dogs, us, you name it haha. She was a great guard dog though, and she always alerted us when a package was being dropped off at the door or if someone was there close to it. I miss hearing her bark and I miss her presence in the home. Whenever we came home she greeted us at the door. She was always so excited and happy to see us.

She started having seizures about a month or two ago, and it progressively got worse as time when on. She lost a lot of weight to where she was skin and bones. She wasn’t her old self and we knew it was time to let her go. I pray to GOD that her animal spirit is happy and in a better place right now. I pray she is with GOD and the angels now and driving them crazy with her barking and endless energy. Maggie was a great dog and she’ll definitely be missed. I have a lock of her hair that the vet gave us before they put her to sleep. I’ll hold onto it until the day I die, because I don’t ever want to forget that dog.

She was a pleasure to have rescued from the pound, and she really made life interesting and enjoyable for the time she was with us. I hope we enriched each others lives as much as I think we did. RIP To Maggie, you will always be loved in the Harris household. L8r

So as we move towards the end of 2024, the entire year has been filled with distractions… P-Diddy, Kat Williams on Club Shay Shay, Ukraine vs Russia, and Israel vs. Palestine (Hamas). All of those things, believe it or not, cause subconscious anxiety, fear, and angst. If you follow them too closely and allow yourself to get invested in them, they have a negative affect on your well being.

My advice is to focus on your life and the lives of those around you that you care about. Don’t worry about what’s going on with these people in the spotlight, because it doesn’t affect your day to day life. Make sure you are taking care of your business and helping your friends and family take care of theirs. What is going on with some uber-rich celebrity has little to no bearing on what’s going on with you.

Keep pushing forward with yourself and trying to improve yourself. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll be a celebrity of some type, and you can let other people know how you got to that money and notoriety by putting in hard work and focusing on self improvement. Money and “fame” are not barometers of success, so don’t make that your goal. With whatever it is you are doing, just do your best at it and try to be a top performer at it. It’s hard with day to day life… sometimes to find the energy… sometimes to find the interest, but even still, give it all you’ve got.

GOD helps those who help themselves is a saying, that’s not in the Bible, but it is very true I believe. If it’s within his plan, and you are on the same page as him, you’ll succeed in what it is you’re trying to do. It’s Saturday night as I write this, and I wish you a great rest of the weekend, and a good week moving forward. Peace, love, and light to my readers. L8r!
