"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

This is my first attempt at recording myself playing the organ. I hit quite a few bum notes but I kept it as my doggy started barking soon after I started! She has a big gob.
It's The Entertainer by the legendary Scott Joplin. It's my own simplified version as I don't have the skill or the span to play the full one. Enjoy!
This time it's an original piece, an unnamed rag. The only music I've ever written that isn't utter shit. I just realized that's not strictly true, but near enough I may have some more tricks in the bag for later.

My Dog Barnaby just after a nap
Me and Barnaby out for a walk (you can just see my finger pointing Barnaby to the 'down' position, he's such a smart dog)

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

Barnaby's a cutie
ETA: Tanner (aka Nanners) says hi!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Man, I'm gonna have to stop remembering who's who by "he's the one with the awesome white beard."
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
