Welcome.

I'm not exactly sure how I should start this, I guess I'll just type stuff and hope it's the most amazing thing you have ever read in your entire life.

I've been thinking about doing this for a while now. I've never blogged before and am usually terrible at expressing my thoughts, so perhaps this would give me a nice, calm place where I can go on and on, crafting tiring and long winded reads composed of intellectual masturbation and crappy observational jokes about things that nobody cares about as much as I want. And I get to do this without having to do it on the fly, in front of people while they stare at me with irritating skepticism as I struggle to translate my brain to words, filling the awkward blanks with awkward ideas and words, and ultimately making a fool of myself. I'm sure this inability will still come across in this blog, but let's see how this goes. I tend to explain things in weird ways where people often misinterpret what I'm saying worse then when people try to interpret the Bible (har har har, I made a religious joke. Always the best way to break the ice and make people comfortable.). Speaking of jokes, I'm also very sarcastic, and my sarcasm is often dry, dark absurd, and sometimes, all of those at the same time. I also like to swear. I love swearing, it's retarded and absurd, which means that usually when I'm swearing, I'm acting retarded and absurd, which is always. It's a vicious cycle of endless fuck's and shit's.

As for the stuff I'm going to be posting in here, I plan to talk about a lot of things. Expect to see plenty of posts regarding music, art, religion, politics, video games, and anything else that I feel like posting. I like to keep my topics pretty loose, I don't like being restrained to one particular topic and will most likely follow my stream of consciousness until it brings me to a stop, ending with some sort of conclusion that attempts to tie everything up into one convenient package so you can skip past my ramblings and get to the point. But no seriously, read the whole fucking thing, and let me know that you read the whole fucking thing in a positive light so I can receive the instant gratification my feeble teenage mind craves. And I just realized this post was 10 % information and 90% bullshit, but in a way, that is the way you get to know me in a more indirect way, through the bullshit and the sarcastic remarks. To balance this thing out, I'm going to post some random facts about myself.

I love music. I spend ridiculous amounts of time playing it and listening to it, and a bit more recently, attempting to create and record it. I have some mics and a PA system at my house, which allows me to record music. Most of my music so far is completely improvised, where I'll just play something on the guitar, throw something else over it and repeat until it somewhat resembles a song. I play the drums as my main instrument, and do a variety of annoying vocals, screaming sounds, beatboxing, whatever suits my current needs, I'll find a way to do it. I'll probably use this blog to post some of my "work", but most of the stuff I have right now is unfinished and not worthy of your cruel and judgmental ears. As for the music I listen to, I listen to everything, most of it is weird though. I like weird. A few bands I really love are Mr. Bungle, Tortoise, Kayo Dot, Aesop Rock, captain Beefheart, and countless others spanning pretty much every known genre. I might do some album reviews here. Even if you hate it, it will at least give you a list of music to avoid. See, in MY blog, everybody wins, even the haters.

I'm, for the lack of a better term, an atheist. The reason I say this is because that term has so much baggage attatched to it, that I don't like using it, and I personally don't always agree with some of the more outspoken atheists, such as Richard Dawkins and christopher Hitchens. People for some reason tend to look at atheism like a religion, which I strongly disagree with. Don't panic, this will all be explained later. Don't worry, I don't hate your God, I'm not here to argue against your God or anything like that. I've come to the conclusion that God is irrelevant, and thus arguing over something that spiritual and person, is completely pointless. I have a strong interest in religion and general, have spent more time then your average 16 year old should thinking about it, and I'll probably say some pretty nasty things about religion that will make you piss your pants or something neat like that. But once again, don't worry, all will be explained (honestly, it's hard to say this stuff without people getting offended, angry or whatever). Just remember that when I criticize religion, I'm not talking about your local church, or your faith in particular. I don't have a problem with people believing in God, or religious people, but there is an undeniable amount of damage religion has done to humanity. Perhaps it's not religion itself that is bad, but it's the people using it as a tool to serve their our bad intents that is bad, but then again, religion is one hell of an effective tool. But I'm going on too much now, this doesn't really belong in an introduction post. I haven't covered any of my political views yet, but I'm tired of writing and this is already too EPIC of a introduction already, so I guess I'll stop now. Maybe I should rename this blog "Jason's pointless rambles."

Oh and don't worry, this blog isn't going to be boring. It's not all going to be religion and pretentious art and music, there's going to be clowns and fart jokes and other fun shit like that, you just see.
