Gonna Start Content Reviewing!

I’M LEANING INTO MY A.D.D.!
Gotta try and leverage shit like that right?

So I have decided to start doing reviews. I’m only gonna review things that I like in some way because I am a creator and understand that purely negative feedback fuckin’ helps nothing. This means that I will at most give constructive criticism. Most of this will just be whatever thoughts and observations I have. I’m not really gonna put a lot of parameters on this. So it’s gonna be LOOSEY GOOSEY… SILLY GOOSE TIME format-wise. Also, I’m gonna write how I’d talk to you in person. Like I’m tellin a friend about somethin I dug or think they should check out. SO DON’T GET HUNG UP ON FUCKIN GRAMMAR, SPELLING, OR MADE UP WORDS. Cause there’ll be PLENTY of that. Also, I like makin jokes and rarely ever try/mean to offend anyone with em. My views are my own and change sporadically. So if somethin trips you out I was probably kidding.

I LOVE ART OF MANY FORMS, so I’m not sticking to one medium. Movies, TV series, Short films, Anime, Novellas, Books, Poetry, Comedy specials, Music videos, Podcasts, Documentaries (rarely), Songs, Albums, YouTube videos, and anything else I enjoy and want to support or analyze are fair game. I’m critical, but diverse in my tastes and pretty open to new shit. As I post, I’m sure you’ll be able to pick up on an algorithm to shit I think is worth checkin out.

I’m thinkin I’ll create a reviews page and sub-pages for each broad subject. Like “Podcasts”, “TV Series”, or “Films.” This will help with Navigation and appease my weird compulsion need for organization. Hold me to none of that cause I may try to do it, get frustrated, and say “fuck it, they’ll see it.”

I check out/am a fan of a lot of shit, so I’ve already got a pretty big que of shit I’m stoked to share with you. Old and new, indie/small and big budget/mainstream. Whatever’s good. I just wanna provide input that you may or may not have thought of. Promoting discussion is fun to me. I’m still writing a book and doin a LAME ASS side gig, so I’m not gonna make any promises/pledges on frequency or posting times. I do however really enjoy talkin about rad shit, so I’m thinking it’ll be pretty consistent. Anything you’d like a random, foul mouthed GEEK to check out? Shoot me a comment, DM, or tweet!

I’m really hype about this.

Scifi, horror, comedy, thriller, hip hop, djent, prog, indie, rock and roll, jazz, metal, hardcore punk, instrumental…I’m bangin out a list of shit to get to and making decisions on how much work to put into this. I may expand to audio or video, but am keeping it at the blog for now so I don’t fuck up and produce shit I wouldn’t even read myself.

First post I’m about 80% sure is gonna be on a new series on FXX called “Dave.” It’s created/written by and starring one of the most talented rappers workin right now. Dave Burd A.K.A. Lil’ Dicky. The show is only 3 episodes in (as of this post) but has made that much of an impression on me. FX has a lot of good series, so there will be others. Drafting now. So be lookin out for it!

WIP Prologue 1st draft (not formatted)

You are here because you want a story… A story to make you feel better about your uncertain future…

The story that I offer may not warm your heart. It will surely not brighten your outlook on life or the human condition. If that is the sort of story you desire, I fear you’ve stumbled upon the wrong storyteller. My intention is not to frighten, but to chronicle the actions of those who have fought and died to save your life. Heroes unrecognized. Millennia ago, the human race embraced a descent into depravity and senseless violence. Over this time, we’ve all but lost the ability to exercise empathy. The majority has forgotten what it truly is to show compassion, faith, genuine selflessness, or kinship.

It is the year of our Lord 4026, and we are a predatory race dripping with brutality and perversion pushed to new depths. Entitlement via instant gratification, dopamine fueled revolutions, and wanton serotonin production have led us to no longer respect our fellow man. We are the most powerful and frightening specimen of the Earth’s animal kingdom. We have enslaved or snuffed out all creatures we once feared. We always envisioned that we would evolve to peace…

Bureaucratic “peace” indeed. 

We continue to build, consume, destroy, and rebuild. What is regard for your fellow man? Ask any Reg and their answer will likely horrify. We have willingly become desensitized to the madness that has come to be everyday existence. Genetic innovation has allowed the capability to avoid siring offspring with illnesses or even physical attributes deemed “undesirable.” Man has created countless abominations and proclaims to be God.

In response to our iniquitous descent, our bodies have begun to change. Scientists say that our genetic molecular framework has mutated due to a drastic change in the average balance of chemicals and hormones that control aggression, pleasure, fear, and sympathy. That and the fact that we care less and less about what we put into our bodies. WE WILLED OURSELVES INTO A MONSTROUS THIRD SET OF CHROMOSOMES. Darwin laughs as he rolls in his grave. Given that humans were diploid organisms for thousands of years, this baffled scientists and sparked a flood of experimentation and theses attempting to explain and take advantage of this phenomena. Human triploids that survive birth and thrive? Scientific researchers tested and hypothesized later proclaiming that some of our bodies physically responded to an intense increase in these chemicals and hormones. As we committed and witnessed acts of extreme violence mixed with designer drugs, unregulated supplements, and barbaric pleasure we evolved on varying levels. For many, these two actions are one in the same. 

The world continued to consume genetically modified organisms and waited far too long to end the profitable war on drugs in the interest of social engineering and control of the poor. Even those considered unaffected by the change show signs of a new norm for brain chemistry. The official statement made by the government in an effort to explain this change in biology referred to the physically evolved individuals as “Genetic Mutations.” Given the fact that humans can no longer be bothered to say full phrases or names, people began to use the term “gene mute.” Fear and ignorance has led many to call these gifted souls “demons” & “monsters.” We are your friends, your family, your neighbors, and commonly your chosen enemies.

Over time, we have become slaves to our most primal urges and attributes. If you desire something, TAKE IT. If you have an urge, ACT UPON IT. If someone wrongs you… CUT. THEM. DOWN. End them where they stand. These, for the growing majority of the human race, have become everyday laws of survival. The new commandments. Many forget or ignore thousands of years of customs and religion to put themselves on pedestals as the new divines. IDOLS be the upper echelon.

What is known as the Republic of the Americas is the result of the downfall of what was once the United States of America, Central America, South America, and Canada. Many areas within these territories retained names you are familiar with and are under the control of one governing body. These territories have allegiances that are fractured into smaller and violently competitive regions resembling well organized crime syndicates. They are illegally funded and operated by crime families puppeteering in plain sight with impunity. Vaguely disguised as politicians and public servants, many manipulate the populous and are the very crime they claim to combat. The world over has joined to participate in a one world government creating an illusion of peace and protection. Dead end jobs for little pay. Endless bills and taxes. Fear of bodily harm and corrupt federal agents. We are all slaves in one way or many. The government has “revamped” the world constitution, indefinitely declared what can only be seen as martial law, replacing all state departments and municipalities with federal agencies. Namely, the Federal Crime Prevention Administration or “FCPA.” 

This, my brothers and sisters, is the inception of our downfall. The beginning of the end of all. The worst part of all is that the world is acting as though the continuing and increasing degradation of our species is the last festival in a planet scale return of Sodom and Gomorrah. A literal world war approaches, and we have all fallen asleep at the wheel. I am here to warn you…

NO ONE IS GETTING OUT ALIVE.

Focused on finishing my 1st book!

I’ve been working really hard on my first book. I’ve decided to stop most work/development on other projects until I feel they aren’t interfering. I just don’t feel like I’m accomplishing as much as I can if I commit all available focus & time to this one. This doesn’t mean I’m not going to get back to other projects eventually, but I really want to get a trilogy (at least) done. The more projects I try to juggle at once, the less successful I am with their quality or finishing them in the time I’d like. I’m super critical of the things I create and myself in general. Juggling wasn’t working. I’m about to start the 7th chapter and a lot of time has passed. I’m not rushing but do think I can get more done faster without sacrificing quality. I’m really excited about the story and think it deserves my full attention. I try to write with complexity and do a lot of research, planning, and world building so this is not something I can juggle with other shit. This is a unique approach to science fiction and I know it will be worth it. So I’m choosing focus and patience by committing to just writing. At least for a while. Especially since I’m not disappointing or letting anyone down by postponing my other projects & ideas. I’m not sure how I want to yet, but I still plan on putting out things from time to time and giving updates on the writing progress and news. Not sure how to do that without spoiling though, so we’ll see. I can’t wait to share this story and following projects with everyone.
BLESSINGS!

Off to a … Start.

After listening to this episode, I’ve decided you deserve way better than what I have given you! I won’t take this episode down. I want to be honest about the process and progression of taking on a new “art.” This one’s definitely new for me, but I am serious and pretty passionate about it. Music comes naturally to me, and honestly takes a lot less time/effort to produce a much better result. I WILL be putting up a better prepared & better quality episode within the next few days. If all goes as planned that COULD mean 2 episodes within a 7 day period. I’m not holding my breath for that shit cause I see what rushing gets me in this medium. For now, I’ll just focus on getting you a better first episode. Even if that means exercising patience and waiting until I’ve got a guest and I’m not feverish and exhausted. I’m gonna stop trying to push a circle into a square and take the time to do the things necessary to give you what I know I’m capable of. So we’re just gonna call this a preview. A very shitty audio quality preview… This is what I get for never asking the producer or engineer how they made the music I recorded sound the way its supposed to. Sorry everybody. I WILL DO BETTER.

“Enigmatic Insomniatic” Episode up now!

First Episode!
Noticeably self recorded (Admittedly shit audio).
A solocast recorded in a medicated/insomnia haze in the wee hours of the morning.

https://anchor.fm/whosanxious/episodes/Enigmatic-insomniatic-e6adoc

Sorry about the weird audio you guys. Recorded an hour and realized we got nothing. Re-recorded and got a slight background noise. Trying to figure out a decent audio tool for this lame ass Chrome Book or someone to engineer/produce that knows whats up!
We’re figuring all this shit out as we go.
Thanks for checking it out!

FIRST EPISODE POSTING!

DEBUT Episode:
“Enigmatic Insomniatic” (Introcast) POSTING TOMORROW!

Also, SEE https://whosanxious.com/2019/10/03/never-hold-me-to-it/ for admittedly vague details.

Never hold me to it…

SOON…

We just got everything we need (for the most part) to start recording, and are in the scheduling guests & episodes phase! We may need to order some more chords and shit but that wont keep us from launching by the super loose ass deadline I set for the launch. I’m also working on launching some other shows soon after this one! Some, I’ll be directly involved with, others will be hosted by others to be announced later. All are planned to be on our media network. The name of which will be announced in the first episode of Who’s Anxious. We’re fuckin stoked! On top of all this, I’m getting in a new 7 string sooner than later to start writing some tasty genre bending music! Hope you guys love all the shit we’ve got comin’ for you. Spread the word like the clap!
