Prayer

Just more random thoughts, this time about Christianity and the Judeo-Christian God (BTW, what we believe to be the only god). First off, we will answer the common question,  “Does prayer work?” Yes. (that was easy) Q: But how does one pray? A: ( this is what we think ) 1) Be polite, do not demand or insist; remember who you are making a request to, if something is God's will he will do it, if not you probably are wasting your time —— However, do not assume either to be the case, one can not always be certain either way, and it is possible (at least we think) that God may give certain things a second thought, if a person or enough people are requesting it (maybe?). 2) Do not be selfish, what we mean is that it is okay to pray for yourself and things you need, but do not limit prayer to just things about you or your immediate circle of friends and family. Pray for others; people you know, do not know, people you see in public, people on TV, in the news, YouTube, singers, actors, … e...

Random Ponderings

We are not fortunetellers, prophets, soothsayers or wizards. These are not intended to be predictions or prophecies. --- We have no idea, if or when these would ever actually occur. None of these are earthshattering revelations, just hunches and gut feelings. [ we are generally wrong more than right ] 1) A major dispute over heirship of the British crown may occur on the next ascendance. update (7/2025): we don't think this is likely [ for the simply reason that we don't think the true heir wants the hassle of being king ] 2) A current K-pop girl group may go dark, very dark (no we are not talking about like some other current groups ( that we are aware of ) --- or K-rock); one that many may not expect. ( Actually there are some hints, if you are paying attention, —— but with K-pop that can be a shot in the dark. We think we know which group it is, but they will reveal their new incarnation when/if they are ready. --- if we are correct, this should happen sometime in 2025 )...

K-Pop — our opinion

updated: April 28, 2026 I have to hand it to the people in the K-pop groups. To put up with the crappy hours, low pay, criticism and general bullshit they obviously have to put up with. Man, they must really enjoy what they are doing. I think most people, myself included would probably say, “F*** THIS!” — I for one am glad they do what they do, since it is currently my favorite genre. Disclaimer : We do not know, nor have we met any of the singers. We have never met any of the persons associated with, or running any of the entertainment companies (in Korea or the US). This is only our opinions from observing K-pop, and the related industry, for just over one year. From our observation, many of the singers seem like they would be okay people, if one were to know them, and as in the real world some probably would not be. However, it seems obvious that many of the people running the companies are probably not. It seems an industry (like most) in which the people running the companies can ...

Industry Plants

How might one spot an artist who is an industry plant ? Well, here may be a few things that seem suspicious? This is by no means definitive, or scientifically accurate, just our opinion; and opinions about music, like any other artform is subjective. None of these being a positive indicator, but…. We are not suggesting who is or is not, simply based on these. [but like many things, the more boxes being checked….] 🔲 Nepo Baby --  Rich kid / rich parents, close friends or relatives inside (or accociated with) the record / entertainment industry 🔲 Instant success 🔲 Going viral with first song posted to social media 🔲 Awards, awards, ... 🔲 Excessive number of followers / subscribers within a short period (even before actually being famous or popular) 🔲 Excessive amounts of airplay on commercial broadcast radio (AM / FM) — Do you hear their songs multiple times throughout the day, everyday, week after week, … after month, … years (?!)  Now for a bit of reality check: It takes...

a normal society ?

All to often Christianity is associated with the facade of a normal society, that often frowns on what it considers to be abnormal. However, in my opinion, Christianity is not typical in a modern society, nor has it been in any of the previously so-called normal societies. Some will say that, in the U.S. a majority of people identify as Christian (that's identify), but one can identify as anything. That doesn't necessarily make it so. And fewer people seem to be identifying as Christians, even in the U.S. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your perspective), I don't think the percentage of actual Christians in any general society is anywhere near the numbers often suggested. Usually, when anything is considered normal, that is what the masses tend to identify with. For years, in many countries (including the U.S.) Christianity was associated with a normal society. So, the masses, wishing to fit in identified as such. So, don't mistakenly identify Christians w...

added some music Q&A stuff as a page (in the drop down left sidebar menu), the editing is a bit rough, but it's somewhat readable (maybe😯)

Giving Credit, Where Credit Is Due

In the past, on my various web sites, I have neglected to give the proper credit to God. I believe that all my creative ability, be it music, writing, creating web related stuff (as basic as it may be), or anything else, comes from God. Admittedly,  I know that not everyone feels the same about their own abilities, talents and achievements (that is okay). I am aware that others have their own ideas about religion and deities. --- This just happens to be my opinion.
