I got my Discordian tattoo on Tuesday night, after having to schedule an appointment with Eric, the tattoo artist from The Alley who ended up inking me. The tattoo is the Sacred Chao, basically the core symbol of Discordian philosophy/theology. I got it because reading Discordian texts was central in breaking out of my depression, and I want a permanent reminder that I always have every choice, and cannot be trapped in a life that isn't right for me. Anyone who is wondering, yes, I am still an Atheist, I do not believe in a literal, existant Eris, but rather that the ideas of Discordianism are a helpful guidance for me.
Here's a picture of the finished piece, feel free to check out the whole gallery if you want to see a lot of shirtless me:

It's healing up nicely, I'm to the "just rub it with lotion three times a day" stage. Eric offered to go over some of the black parts and pull the shading out farther into the empty spaces for free, which I think I'll have him do once it's completely healed. I'm very happy with it, and can't recommend Eric and The Alley highly enough. Also, I totally have the tattoo bug now, I have at least three others that I think I want! I'll let those ideas simmer for a few months, to make sure I'm sure about them, and because, man, quality tattoos don't come cheap.

I've added Google Adsense ads to the Bald Prophet Productions website. We'll see how these work out for us, hopefully they'll be a supplementary revenue stream for our projects without annoying our readers much if at all.

So I guess I'll post here occasionally. Vox is still my main blog, but no reason to let my social network here die, right? As many of you know, I've recently started the Open Source Songwriting Project, and it's taking off really well. I've also made a Eventful widget so that folks can demand our band in their locale (I guess we better start being a real band good and quick then, eh?) We're planning to get some covers recorded in the near future, so look for that over on OSSP. And now, le widget!

Heh, apparently LJ can't quite parse the widjet code. Another reason this isn't my main blog anymore.

Yesterday I decided to become a rock star, and I bought a guitar, as you can see on my LJ.Today, I with completely clarity spoke to my friend and role model in music, Beth Kinderman about music record equipment, and she recommended Musician's Friend as a great source for music equipment. I browsed their site, and decided on exactly what I wanted, and filled up a wish list. I then saw this offer, whereby if you are going to buy $299 or more worth of equipment, you can get it for free for a year, or for three months if you're buying less.I then applied online for the credit card needed, which is provided by HSBC, and was instantly approved over the internet, because I have good credit from using my other cards responsibly. They were able to instantly confirm my identity, because they are networked with state government and all the credit reporting agencies. They knew what cars I have owned, even though I never got a loan for the cars, from my driver's license records. They will mail me my card in 1-2 weeks, but I was told I could use the account immediately, but I have yet to receive the account number.Because I am a real person, I was able to call Musician's Friend's customer support number, and they were able to locate the credit card I had opened 10 minutes ago, but that took ultimate trust. I had to give them my SS# and DOB over the phone. I did.Now, thanks to the customer service rep Anna, they are shipping me almost $500 worth of music equipment for free, because they know I'm good for it within a year, which I am. We arranged for shipping through UPS, and I will be calling them to ensure my equipment is secure, one Anna, fulfilling her job perfectly, sends me my UPS tracking number. With our powers combined, I will get my equipment, and nothing can stop the power of our combined wills, me and Anna and the UPS driver who will come.I asked Anna if I could talk to her manager and say what a help she had been, and she connected me, and I told the supervisor, who thanked me and said she'd pass it on to Anna's immediate supervisor.Musician's Friend now has a customer for life, and Anna is going to get a pay raise next time they evaluate her performance, because I told them to do it. Behold the power of words. Also, if you're a musician, and you have decent credit, you can get what you need to pursue your passion for free for now, as long as you do it in good faith, as you must have shown by the power of your actions in the past, whereby you, and only you, earned that credit score. Behold, for the world is connected, those things you did do have consequences, and by being responsible, you have more power in society, and as an economic entity than you know.
All of this happened less than 20 minutes ago. I have the creative output to post this, and tell you all of your power, in that time, and so do you, deep inside.

After messing around with Vox for a few hours, it is indisputably better than LJ ever was. It has capabilities for photo and media sharing, and mirroring, and wow, so much better.
For now, I'll be mirroring many posts here through the Blog It Facebook app, but Vox is now my main blog.
Access me here, and come on over and join us in the future!

This post is going out to four blogging services at once! It's updating Twitter, and Vox, and LJ and Facebook, all at the same time.
It is unquestionably the future, oh yeas.

Sixapart made a new blogging service, Vox, which looks really good. I guess this is what they're doing now that they sold LJ to the Russians.
Come on over there, before LJ gets shut down due to the economic crisis.
Link to my Vox profile
It integrates with your LJ and your Facebook and your Twitter, so all your old accounts work extremely well with it. It's the future of blogging, and here I come.
