  • A very crappy year brings brand new music.

    I should keep this more updated. However, this crapfest that is the Year of Our Lord 2020 has kept me quite busy. This post hopes to remedy that.

    Well, there’s brand new releases from O.P.A.L. and D35C0JóN UR84N0 to whet your appetite. So click the links and find out what you’ve been missing.

    More soon. Hopefully.

  • Snow!

    First snow here in God knows when. Thought I wanted to share this with you.

  • .:Social + Media + Junkie + Blues:.

    A little over two weeks from my decision to get away. Time slows into a crawl when you are going cold turkey from any kind of addiction. I’ve been trying to keep myself busy. It works most of the time, but the loneliness and isolation are real. Anyway, onwards and upwards.

  • .:renovations:.

    New website design. New cybernetic digs. Hope you like the place.

  • bye+socials!+(most+of+them)

    My name is Jose and I am a social media junkie. Twitter, Insta, FB, G+, MySpace, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, AOL IM, ICQ, IRC, anything remotely social from 1994 on, I was in it and how. Now I am gone. Hopefully for good this time.

    Today I’m keeping LinkedIn at the most. I don’t mind keeping this since this is a very handy and practical way (despite their security breaches) to keep a resume and make business connections. As far as the rest of the current social media landscape is concerned I am no longer willing to sacrifice my privacy or what’s left of it to the whims of the social media overlords nor for the convenience of being “connected” to the rest of the world.

    I simply don’t have time to blindly consume nor share with the rest of the planet my life’s minutiae. I’d rather spend time creating and then sharing in my own terms while retaining a semblance of sanity or tranquility in this world. If that makes me a Luddite, so be it. The signal to noise ratio today makes it almost impossible for me to spend time doing things that really matter to me instead of being a consumer.

    Late-stage capitalism has brought many ills and the promises that social media would bring us together have failed. For the moment, I remain out. Cheers!

  • .: it’s+been+a+while:.

    Hi. I keep doing music, yet forget to post it here. I also think this site is also due to some renovations, and I think I need to withdraw my presence from mentally draining social platforms with no respect for their user’s privacy. Yet I need an outlet to express myself. A busy agenda awaits and I need to stop procrastinating.

  • .:o.p.a.l. – 04/16/2019:.

    Noodling and stuck in a melancholic loop.
