No Game; No Life

Turn that "I" into "we".

No Game; No Life

This is a public service announcement.

A game is being played; a war is being raged. The first battle is your mind. Be aware and take stride for you may choose not to be mentally engaged but you do not have an option in what moves you make. Pawns on the chess board at the sacrifice of your players decree. Choose to be sedated but do not choose to complain.

A game is being played. A choice must be made. Be a player or be a piece. It does not matter because the bored have already been won. There's no mass to this movement because there's no praise for the wise.

See what I'm saying seems vague so I'll try to be a bit more specific. A wise man knows what it is to be smart. A smart man doesn't know what it is to be wise. From the simple function of human interaction our minds have been seized. We are fighting wars claiming race but there's only one race. The lack or wisdom blinds us to the facts such that words have meaning. Words define our communication. Slang creation deteriorates the ability to understand and comprehend the divide is real and adds to the confusion. The mathematics of the human equation has become sadonic craving our destruction because we do not see "I" is the equivalwnt of "we". When you make that "I" statement it's repeated so many people saying "I".

I WANT TO BE HAPPY

I WANT TO BE HAPPY

I WANT TO BE HAPPY

I WANT TO BE HAPPY

READ THIS OVER AND OVER. DOES THE VOICE IN YOUR MIND CHANGE? I ask because this is an answer to the statement. You see I asked multiple people what do you want from life and this is the answer I received summed up from the equation.

WE WANT TO BE HAPPY.

A game is being played and the fist round is our minds. Identify the wise and learn in kind. For only the wise can free the mind.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
