So I realized a week ago that I’m getting a bit too heavy. I need to lose weight. I’ve decided I’m going to use my VR headset in my journey of fitness and getting into better shape. I play Beat Saber and march in place while I swing at the blocks. It’s a good workout, and I think that if I stick with it, I’ll drop some pounds in no time. I also need to watch what I’m eating and eat better. Also, you gotta make sure you get sleep because your body adds and removes fat when you’re sleeping believe it or not.

How we gain and lose weight is really an amazing phenomena. You gain it all of a sudden and lose it all of a sudden. Lack of exercise and bad eating will definitely lead to a weight gain that seems to come out of nowhere. You definitely need to watch that and keep an exercise routine going throughout your life. It’s the reason so many people get pot bellies and love handles as they get older. With the rigors of work and home life, it can be hard to fit in an exercise routine.

I suggest getting a VR headset and playing a game like Beat Saber or anything else that requires a lot of movement. Moving your body will keep it fit and ensure that your muscles have stamina, as well as your heart and lungs. Being stagnant and immobile is not good and will quickly lead to health issues. Keep a routine going, and if you can’t afford something like a Meta Quest VR headset, just hit the pavement and walk. Walking is great exercise. I lost a weight before the start of COVID when my job had a weight loss competition. All I did was walk and eat healthier and the weight came falling off. I also lifted weights. I gained it all back after COVID jumped off and I stopped going out and walking as much.

I wish you the best as we traverse through this crazy reality called life. It’s full of disappointments, failures, betrayals, and hardships. But there’s also some joy, happiness, and fun to be had within it. Make getting in shape a priority so you’re ready to deal with the challenges of life, and enjoy the good parts. Peace, love and light, and I’ll catch you in the next one. L8r!

So my Ryzen 5 CPU was overheating and I tried to clean it off. I had a liquid cooler on it which seemed to be malfunctioning. In the process of trying to get everything off the motherboard, the CPU pins bent so I had to purchase another CPU. The one I had in there was a 6 core processor, and I replaced it with a Ryzen 7 5800XT processor which is 8 cores with 4 “virtual” cores for a total of 12. I can tell the PC is moving a lot faster now and it’s pretty cool.

Another upgrade I did was I found a 3070ti on sale on NewEgg for $400. They allowed you to do a payment plan on it, so I went ahead and purchased it. I’m upgrading from a 1070ti which was crazy outdated at this point. So now I have an 8 (12) core processor, 24GB of RAM, and a 3070ti in my gaming desktop. It’s a nice machine and plays any game I throw at it with ease.

I’ve also done 3D Mark on it which is a benchmarking application and it scores pretty decently. I’d like to upgrade to 32 or 64GB of RAM just because RAM is so cheap these days. I added a 1TB m2 drive in the second m2 slot on my ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING motherboard. I use that drive only for PC games which is nice.

I have a huge backlog of games to flip so I’ll be busy with it for a while. I’ve also started taking a course on Unreal Engine/C++ coding on Coursera.com. I think coding would be a good career change for me and I’d enjoy it very much. I’m tired of IT and the politics and things that go along with it. I’m sure there’s that in any field, but I’d rather work solo with me and my code. Time will tell if I can find the time to practice coding between music production, djing, gaming, lifting weights, etc.

I just have to manage my time a lot better than I currently do. I need to stop watching Twitch and Youtube so much, or at the very least do something else at the same time I’m listening to the video on either of those services. I’ll get er done. L8r.

So I recently purchased a $15 Kalimba, which is a “finger piano” of sorts. It’s pretty cool, and I saw a guy use it in a beat-making video a while back, so I’ve wanted to get one and try using it in my own music making. I just uploaded a new song to Distrokid, but I’m kind of unhappy with how the synthesizer turned out in that song. I’ll do better next time.

I believe the Kalimba is an African originated instrument, as a lot of them are, and I wanted to try it out myself. I don’t plan on trying to become a Kalimba Grandmaster, but I’d like to play it to a degree in some boom bap, lo-fi hip hop, or future hop beats I might make. Once I incorporate it into a beat, I’ll make a Youtube video about it and review it and show how I used it in the beat. Should be fun.

I’d also like to get some bongo drums, because as Richard Pryor was once quoted “Black people are very visual and we know the drum”. That’s very true about myself as well, so I think that would be a cool instrument to pick up and play around with. I worry about how loud it would be in this apartment though. Hopefully, if I get one, I could figure out how to play it when it sounds like my neighbor isn’t home. It’s not like playing a whole dang drum set, but it still makes noise.

It’s Saturday night and my wife is sick. If she doesn’t get better by tomorrow afternoon, I’ll take her to the emergency room and have them run tests on her to see if there’s anything we should be worried about going on. I’m taking good care of her and she’s resting, but I don’t want something major to happen and have hindsight show that we should have moved on it sooner. Anyways, til next time readers. Stay up! L8r!

So I made a post a little while back where I talked about the power of the pyramid. We mainly know the pyramid from Ancient Kemet or Egypt if you will. There are pyramids all over the world, including in the USA, but “they” don’t tell you that. With that said, I’ve always felt a very strong connection to ancient Kemet. I remember as a boy, going to a King Tut exhibit at the museum and it really resonated with me for some reason. I was too young to put my finger on it, but it definitely felt feasible and familiar to me if I could put it that way.

I’m not saying it was triggering past life memories or anything like that, but it definitely felt like something that was akin to myself. At that time it didn’t really register with me that they were black people either. I honestly didn’t know what they were, but the people being talked about in the exhibit didn’t somehow “remind” me of the black people I was growing up around on the southside of Chicago.

I need to study that time in more detail, to truly understand the knowledge they held and how it relates to us in this modern time. Those people were monotheistic, meaning they had a singular “Most High” GOD, and subsidiary GODs beneath him. Whether you’d call them angels, saints, or lesser gods, I do believe that on the organization chart of heaven/divinity, there is a group of entities that report to GOD.

I don’t know what happened to those people, but I do know that the direction we are headed in can be no better than the one they went in. Some say they were usurped by an evil reptilian race and the utopia they lived in was destroyed in the wake. Some say GOD destroyed them. I don’t know what to believe, but I do know there is power within the pyramid. Perhaps I’ll start there.

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.
