iTunes Sucks
I know, this is kinda small issue, (ok, not that small.)
BUT THE ENCODING ON ITUNES COULD BE DONE BETTER BY A CHIMP!!! (I encode audio, original compositions, and well, I can do better)
Bought a copy of the Cure's Wish album, and the quality between songs is just horrible. On song is nice loud and full, another is thin tinny, and lacking in dynamics of the original recording. Makes me think I am missing something from the other 3 albums I have bought from itunes. If I could get my money back, or just offer my services to encode, I would. Sorry apple, but I will keep my bug ridden microshite system. Hope it gets better.

Why bother, fuck it, you all are too fucking dumb to change.
And this month, I learned about control, and the fact that I am lucky to pretty much be able to control my bladder. Ok, I have a little more control over my life than that, but not much. I don’t fully believe in the “Live and Let God” mantra, but, I have other ways of dealing than just giving up, while retaining all of the illusion I have over the control, and decision making process of being awake in this world.
There are a lot of things that I do now to deal with everything that I have to deal with, from putting up with all the garbage at work, dealing with the nagging of my family, and the horrid, disturbing, and completely vile way in which the world works. I now just understand that that’s just the way it is. I now realize that I only have so much power to influence the direction my life takes me, and as I see that others are making horrible mistakes, I can only offer a few words, which seem to be unheard. But really, that’s just not really my problem. The advice I might offer, usually, isn’t either all that good, or just not really what people want to hear, but I always make sure, now matter how hurtful, blunt, or just plain obvious, what I say is always the truth, as there is always some other person who will flat out lie to anyone. Besides, I have forgotten one of my earlier mantras, something I used to live my life by, which actually is the only way to keep myself somewhat sane: “Sit by and laugh as it all falls apart. Just write it down”
That pretty much sums it up. Life is nothing more that just a horrible tragic comedy, and the story has been written down a thousand times, all the same essential tale, since man learned to write. It’s all just one huge repeat, so just stay sober, and remember, there is nothing you can do about it. That is what I learned this month.
