Evolution x

Nature's competition to see which of its creations can adapt the fastest, survive in its climate best, go on to gain awarness and build its own niche.
It's been exciting.
Ever since the first multi-celled organisms evolved out of our planet's primordial soups it's been a eco-survival race for supremecy.

A few billion years pass and you have us sitting comfortably in front of our computers. We're proverbial lottery winners in an ancient game of luck and adaptive skill. We've grown a lot past our primitive ancestors, higher and higher our brain capacities would increase throughout time, allowing us to invent. Fixing instead of throwing away, improving instead of moving on. We'd learn to stand tall an erect as we became better hunter/gatherers and we learned to communicate with eachother to form stable social systems.

Our evolutionary changes are heritable, continual, and become exponentially better... It's a very good system. We pass that which functions beneficially unto our children over millions of years and they adapt with their new abilities and features. As these new forms exist, the same deciding force which gave them their way of life will re-evaluate and adjust it as needed.
This subject is pretty touchy to discuss so confidently, but realize the word "evolution" has both a meaning in theory and fact. For this article sake, let's assume Darwin was right.

What will we as humans become next? It's been around 2 million years since our modern Homo genus first appeared in Southeastern Africa. Evolved from early primates, we finally reached our proverbial evolutionary mountain top once our ancestors came to our significant genus. After that it was all downhill.
Fast forward a couple million years - past our species' ever expanding brain and improving observational skills - and we reach our current form. Glorious us, eight fingers (+ two thumbs), long fertility, logical, extremely adaptable, innovative, curious, we rule.


Futurists, biologists, scientists and intellectuals from every field have all pondered at the question. How will we adapt to this new world? This world filled with extravagant technology and domesticated labor? It certainly is an interesting thought.

Some say we'll become big glops of goo, a result of our exponential lazyness due to rapidly progressing 'ergo-tech'. Some say we'll eventually educe a radical change ourselves. Two of evolution's major determining factors are interesting: it's either something that will substantially increase our reproduction rate to survive as a species, or something necessary added to our bodies in order to survive in the particular group's climate. Others speculate that we'll make good for a macromutation, a huge leap in a species' evolution to a highly advanced level in a relatively short time span.

Our technology might not want to wait around long enough for evolution to take us into the next, most efficient form. In-fact, the most probable scenario is one where we let technology speed up the process.

The Catalyst:

What will it take to finally change people?

Will it be when we get rid of false idols?

Will it come with the return of Jesus?

Can it be when we contact an Alien race?

Can it be whenever we are almost decimated by nuclear war?

Could it be genocide?

Could it be a single person?





Whatever comes first

The United States follows old statues fitted unto the country by men fleeting in the times of post-revolt. These man written commandments, so preciously held in the eye of the waivering and exploiting politican and business man, are indespensible to the great United American cause. I still cringe at the site of someone quoting from the Bill of Rights, with all its glorious vernacular. "Every man woman and frog has the right to bear arms!" " The thirteen respectable statehoods are entitles so seperate and charited regulations, above this, while all can not suffer, freedom and choice is bearing in with the right of state authority to conduct searches beyond a affirmative siezured postulant" Yes, says you. Last time I checked this was the 21st century, not
the 1700's.

So why do we follow this dis-coarse in a post-modern world?
I'd point at Democracy, but then that would get me labeled as a Marxist, simply because all these old and dead cannons never degraded as they should have with the times. People don't want to dig into new ways of life, they're all too profit worthy. It's choice, people chose to rather wilt away than commit themselves to a solution. It's a damn parade, the constituation is held so high, that we could call it a myth, it's a celebrated tradition, celebrated by lackeys of an institution needing something to be proud of.

Trendbots

Socially, over the years, and mainly in your teens, you learn to love what you like simply because it is yours. There are always times in young people's lives when they feel someone else should dig into their interests, when they should know that they themselves can never persuade them to.

This brings up the subject of 'trends' or what I like to call, " culture sub-connected concious tides."
Any breathing, pondering, person has at least once thought of, " Why do I(they) like; this tie, this shirt, this blog?"
The answer's simple my guy, people never think for themselves. Society has structured a perfect bio-pathic matrix of nillconcious minds. Inlie's the natural coarse of popular thought and ideas, the vehicles of a modern and torn sociopolitical tradition .

I keep thinking, " Wait, this music isn't bad, is it really of a bad quality there are many varaiables blah bvlh

Has it really been like this since the begining of civilazation?
Did the Sumerians choose their frocks based off of the way it matches with their fucking ipods? I think not, but of course this isn't a fitting comparison.

Bubble gum shoes

Pop music is music's form of what I call, 'recreational listening.'

The people who listen to the most popular, adrenaline inducing music see it as only that, fun, entertainment. Yes, music is meant to be entertaining, but others take it farther. So there really is nothing wrong with liking basically pre-manufactured music, designed to carry an image, take your money, prescribe false idols, but it is wrong of course. Was music really meant to come about the industrial ages in this way? Not only music is a victim of overemphasis through pop culture. Every solule of civilized life is meant to sell in anyway possible. I take bad music as a victim of capitalism.

There's also those people who, no matter what the person's about, how they carry themselves, what the meaning is, know what good music is. The artists who depict their souls with beautiful harmonies and melodies are the ones truely creating music. The groups of people, who manage together to feed off of eachother's ideas and actually pursue descrepancies and new soundscapes are the ones that truely affect music. Music is an intangible organism fluxed by growth, and the neccesity to progress

Rough craft

Grew up in my mom, took first light in Bellflower, bumped into things at Long Beach, CA; tried to change here: Las Vegas NV.

I guess I can say that Las Vegas is my home town, since I've been here past '93, well more than half of my life. The people here are home, the freeway design, the night sky, our secret bases... all of them, casas.

I live the life of a procrastinator that loves to seem interesting. I live the life of an artist too afriad to art 2. I live in a life I love because of the people around me.

I don't think anyone fully understands why I do things sometimes, I sometimes just go on impulse. One minute I can be up for anything... but if it was another minute I could be totally against it. I hope, and somehow know, that my best friends understand this, they're so damn good.

My family's taught me a lot about reserving thoughts, keeping goals simplified, and knowing when enough's enough. I'd thank my mom for teaching me to be more upstanding; my dad, for trying his best to make me a good man; my brother, for always secretly thinking I was the coolest person in the world; my baby brother, for reminding me never to grow up too fast and giving me the chance to take care of him like I was his father.

What can I say about all my brothers and sisters in the world? I don't think it's possible for me to show appreciation enough in this little blurb of mine, but maybe that's saying enough. I'm a humanitarian above all else, even though this feeling is sparringly regarded within me. I don't care about the Earth, when we break it, it won't be because we destroyed it, yet because we could not find a way off of it. Yeah, it's pretty.

My music

Music.

Something impossible to describe fully, one of the only things that can not be summarized


Music causes you to float in time, . Music is life, played through a short symhpony of organized sound, used to convey birth, existence, and death.

Few people can explain musical quality without sounding like so many critic snobs, yet it's true, and necessary. I'll leave you to distinguish between biased opinion and realization of the shameful act of pre-disposition and egotistical rambling. Where did our preferences come from? I believe a lot of stems from close influences and at the same time, anything, reminders of places and people and things that makes you bleed with nostalgia. One thing that I've found most important in cho


You'll never find a good artist by basing your opinion on them with their single alone. What you're hearing is what their producer has decided will be the biggest cash cow, or biggest source of exposure. I've found that a lot the times when I've fallen in love with a band or group, it was because of their older material; the songs they wrote with total relaxation. There are exception of course, but this is what I'm mainly more fond of, the greatest quality material, that's never played on the radio. There's so many good bands out there, but just as much, if not more, to get detered by. Just take a dip, chose anything on a whim; listen to as much music as you can in your lifetime, as differently as you can.

I wanna start a venue, grow it, establish it as a place for up and coming progressive music, then expand it to places left untouched by influential music, that encourages the upflow of music as a whole. I'm gonna call it 'Buster & Andrew's Hall'.
No need for an explanation on the name, just know that the purpose of this venue is to cause alarm for the average teenager's muse. To infuse them with spirit and a sense of where music is today. My life dream is to somehow affect music as a whole, by reaching as many kids out there, with guitars, not knowing wether their music is acceptable, never being able to judge themselves, simply because they feel they have to. To dissuade


Music has changed quite a bit over these long times. From being completely devoid of lyrics, to it being half of the experience, we've grown music into this


xxxxxxxxxxx When someone says that liking certain music, and unliking another is all up to personal choice, I believe they're not reffering to the obvious; but I believe that when anyone says that, they're implying that we all need to create a way to go about listening to music. Our personal choice is where we lay our peeves and little personal descrepencies in the music we hear. xxxxxxxx


"Since the one thing we can say about fundamental matter is,that it is vibrating. And since all vibrations are theoretically sound,then it is not unreasonable to suggest that the universe is music and should be perceived as such"

The pianist Artur Schnabel, was once asked what made him a great pianist, he " I handle the notes no better than any other pianist. But the pauses between the notes? Ah, that is where the art resides!"
You can say he was reffering to timing, but you could just as easily assume he was describing the integral verse of any musical work... silence.
