The man that makes guitars scream

 

     As a music lover and a Christian, I have always been drawn to artists who are able to skillfully combine their faith with their musical talents. And when it comes to Christian music, there is one artist who stands out to me as a true master of his craft – Phil Keaggy.

     Phil Keaggy is a name that may not be as well-known as some of the other guitar legends out there, but to those who are familiar with his work, he is nothing short of a musical
genius. With over 50 years in the music industry, Keaggy has become a household name among Christian music fans, and for good reason.

     What sets Phil Keaggy apart from other Christian musicians is his incredible talent on the guitar. He can truly make a guitar sing. His skill and technique are unmatched, and he has the ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through his playing. From fast-paced, energetic solos to soft, melodic melodies, Keaggy’s guitar playing is nothing short of mesmerizing.

     What is even more impressive is the fact that Keaggy is mostly self-taught. He started playing guitar at the age of 10 and by the time he was in his late teens, he was already a seasoned musician. He has said in interviews that he learned by listening to records and picking out the notes by ear. This natural talent and dedication to his craft have allowed him to become one of the most outstanding and unbelievable Christian guitarists of all time.

     But it’s not just his technical skills that make Keaggy stand out. It’s the heart and soul he puts into his music. As a devout Christian, Keaggy’s faith is at the core of his music. He often incorporates biblical themes and references into his songs, and his lyrics are filled with messages of hope, love, and redemption. Listening to his music is not just an auditory experience, but a spiritual one as well.

     I have been a fan of Phil Keaggy for many years, and I can honestly say that I never grow tired of hearing his music. His songs have been a source of comfort, inspiration, and joy for me, and I know I am not alone in this sentiment. His music has touched the lives of countless people around the world and continues to do so to this day.

     In my opinion, Phil Keaggy is to Christian music with his guitar, as Joe Bonamassa and his guitar is to jazz and
blues. Both are masters of their respective genres, and both have the ability to captivate audiences with their incredible talent and passion for music.

     In conclusion, Phil Keaggy is a true legend in the world of Christian music. His skills on the guitar and his unwavering faith have made him an inspiration to many, and his music will continue to touch the hearts of people for generations to come. If you haven’t had the pleasure of listening to his music yet, I highly recommend you do so. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

A close look at Facebook

       As someone who has used Facebook for a long time, I have seen the platform evolve and change in many ways. It started out as a simple way to connect with friends and family, but has now become a powerful tool for businesses, news outlets, and even political campaigns. While it's undeniable that Facebook has many positive aspects, it's also important to take a closer look at the platform and question its safety and impact on society.

      We all know the good things about Facebook. It allows us to stay connected with loved ones who may be far away, share important milestones and memories, and even discover new interests and communities. But as time goes on, we have also seen the darker side of social media and the impact it can have on our lives.

      One major concern with Facebook is the issue of privacy. With the recent Cambridge Analytica scandal, it became clear that the platform was not as secure as we once thought. Millions of users had their personal information harvested without their consent, and it raised questions about the amount of control we have over our own data on the platform. This has led to increased scrutiny and regulation of Facebook's handling of user data.

      Another issue with Facebook is the spread of misinformation. The platform has become a breeding ground for fake news and conspiracy theories, often leading to real-world consequences. The 2016 US presidential election was heavily influenced by fake news on Facebook, and it has also been linked to violence and genocide in other parts of the world. The company has taken steps to combat this issue, but it remains a major problem.

      In addition to these concerns, there is also the addictive nature of social media. Many studies have shown that excessive use of social media, including Facebook, can have negative effects on mental

health and well-being. The constant need for validation through likes and comments can also create a toxic environment and contribute to feelings of inadequacy and comparison.

      So, based on all of these reports and concerns, would I give Facebook an 'A' or an 'F'? I would have to say neither, as it is not black and white. Facebook, like any other social media platform, has its positives and negatives. It has connected people in ways that were not possible before, but it has also caused harm in various ways.

      What is important is for us, as users, to be aware of these issues and use the platform responsibly. We should take steps to protect our privacy, fact-check information before sharing, and limit our time on social media. It's also important for Facebook to take responsibility and continue to make changes to ensure the safety and well-being of its users.

      In conclusion, while Facebook may have its flaws, it is ultimately up to us to determine how we use it and the impact it has on our lives. Let's strive to make it a positive and safe space for ourselves and others and hold the platform accountable for its actions. Only then can we truly give it a fair grade.

      There is no shortage of stupidity in the world. From silly mistakes to outright ridiculous actions, there are some people who seem to defy all logic and reasoning.

1. The man who tried to rob a bank with a banana

   In 2008, a man in Israel attempted to rob a bank using a banana as a weapon. He walked into the bank, pointed the banana at the teller and demanded money. Needless to say, he was quickly apprehended by the police and charged with attempted robbery.

2. The woman who sued a zoo because the monkeys looked too human

    In 2005, a woman in California sued a zoo because she claimed the monkeys there looked too human and it was causing her emotional distress. She even went as far as saying that the monkeys were trying to communicate with her. The case was dismissed by the judge.

6. The man who tried to smuggle 51 turtles in his pants

     In 2013, a man in Canada was caught trying to smuggle 51 live turtles in his pants across the US-Canada border. Needless to say, he was arrested and the turtles were safely returned to their natural habitat.

8. The man who tried to rob a store with a potato

     In 2016, a man in Australia attempted to rob a store using a potato as a weapon. He even went as far as to carve a face on the potato to make it look more intimidating. Needless to say, his attempt was unsuccessful.

9. The woman who tried to sell her baby on eBay

     In 2008, a woman in Germany tried to sell her baby on eBay for 5,000 euros. The auction was taken down by eBay and the woman was arrested for child trafficking.

10. The man who jumped into a lion enclosure at the zoo

     In 2019, a man in India jumped into a lion enclosure at the zoo in an attempt to “communicate” with the lions. Thankfully, he was quickly rescued by the zoo staff and no harm was caused to him or the lions.

     These are just a few examples of the many stupid actions that people have taken. While some may find these incidents amusing, it is important to remember that stupidity can have serious consequences. Let us all strive to use our common sense and think before we act, in order to avoid ending up on a list of the stupidest people in the world.

Award shows or just another stage for political crap?

Award shows, what a waste of time

      Award shows are a staple in the entertainment industry, a night where the biggest names in music, television, and film come together to celebrate their achievements. However, over the years, award shows like the GMA, AMA, and Emmys have undergone a transformation that has left many viewers, including myself, feeling disappointed and disenchanted. Gone are the days of pure entertainment and celebration, as these award shows have now become nothing more than a celebrity political platform. Which is why I don't watch them anymore.

     I remember eagerly anticipating award shows, counting down the days until I could see my favorite artists and actors take the stage and accept their well-deserved recognition. But now, it seems like every award show is just another opportunity for celebrities to voice their political opinions and agendas. Instead of focusing on their achievements and thanking their fans, they use their time on stage to push their beliefs onto the audience.

     The GMA, AMA, and Emmys, which were once known for their glitz and glamour, have now become a platform for celebrities to express their political views. While everyone is entitled to their own opinions, award shows should not be the place for it. These shows are meant to celebrate the best in entertainment, not to showcase political debates. It takes away from the true purpose of the event, which is to honor and recognize the hard work and talent of those in the industry.

     Furthermore, award shows have become predictable and lackluster. Instead of focusing on the actual awards and performances, they are filled with political speeches and jokes that often fall flat. It seems like every year; the same topics are brought up and the same people win. It takes away the excitement and anticipation of the event.

     Moreover, award shows have become overly commercialized. It's no secret that these shows are heavily sponsored, and it's evident in the way they are presented. There are more commercials than actual content, and it seems like every other minute there is a product placement or a promotional segment. It's no longer about celebrating the achievements of the entertainment industry, but rather about making a profit.

     In conclusion, award shows like the GMA, AMA, and Emmys have lost their charm and purpose. They have become a platform for celebrities to push their political views and agendas, rather than celebrating the achievements and talents of those in the entertainment industry. As a result, I no longer find joy in watching these award shows and would prefer to spend my time on other forms of entertainment.

TikTok: Trash or Not That Bad?

       Last month I wrote an article titled "Has Social Media Gone Too Far? Exploring the Absurdities of the Digital Age". It got me to thinking, there is so many social media platforms out there, Maybe I should look at a few of them. So, this is the first of the social media platforms I decided to look at, with more to follow. So, let's get started. 

      TikTok, the popular social media platform, has taken the world by storm. With its short video format and easy-to-use interface, it has quickly gained millions of users across the globe. However, there have been debates about whether TikTok is a valuable platform or just another form of mindless entertainment. In this article, we will explore the pros and cons of TikTok and determine whether it is truly trash or not that bad.

The Pros of TikTok

TikTok has gained immense popularity due to several reasons:

1. Creativity and Self-Expression: TikTok provides a platform for users to showcase their creativity and express themselves. Users can create and edit videos with various filters, effects, and soundtracks, allowing them to unleash their artistic side.

2. Entertainment and Engagement: The platform offers a wide range of entertaining and engaging content. Users can watch funny videos, informative tutorials, dance challenges, and much more. It provides a refreshing break from mundane everyday life and keeps users entertained for hours.

3. Community Building: TikTok fosters a sense of community through challenges and duets. Users can participate in viral trends, collaborate with other creators, and connect with like-minded individuals. It offers a platform for users to make new friends and expand their social circle.

4. Educational Content: TikTok is not just about entertainment; it also serves as an educational platform. Many creators share informative content on a wide range of topics, from science and history to cooking and fitness. Users can learn new things and broaden their knowledge while enjoying the app.

The Cons of TikTok

Despite its popularity, TikTok also has its fair share of drawbacks:

1. Potential for Cyberbullying: Like any other social media platform, TikTok is not immune to cyberbullying. Users may face negative comments, harassment, or even threats. This can have severe psychological impacts on individuals, particularly young users.

2. Privacy Concerns: TikTok has faced scrutiny regarding its data collection practices and potential security risks. There have been concerns about personal information being shared with third parties or foreign governments. Users should be cautious about the information they share on the platform.

3. Addictive Nature: TikTok's addictive nature can lead to excessive screen time and neglect of other activities. Users may find themselves spending hours scrolling through videos, which can negatively impact their productivity and overall well-being.

4. Inappropriate Content: While TikTok tries to moderate its content, there have been instances where inappropriate or explicit content slips through the cracks. This can be concerning, especially for younger users who may be exposed to content unsuitable for their age.

Is TikTok Trash?

      After considering the pros and cons, it is clear that TikTok is not entirely "trash." Although it has its downsides, it offers a platform for creativity, entertainment, and community building. Many users have found joy, inspiration, and valuable connections through the app. However, it is essential to use TikTok responsibly and be mindful of the potential risks it poses.

      In conclusion, TikTok is a platform that brings both amusement and concerns. It provides an avenue for self-expression, entertainment, and education while having potential privacy and addiction issues. Whether TikTok is trash or not that bad depends on how users engage with the platform and protect themselves from its drawbacks. By being aware of the potential risks and using TikTok responsibly, users can enjoy the benefits it has to offer without falling into its pitfalls.

Remembering a legend

 Remembering Larry Norman

Died February 24, 2008 (age 60) 

Larry Norman was not just a musician, he was a revolutionary figure in the realm of Christian music. He helped pioneer the genre of Christian rock and influenced countless artists with his raw and honest songwriting.

As a longtime fan of Larry Norman, I have been captivated by his unique and fearless approach to music. His lyrics were not afraid to
confront difficult and controversial topics, challenging the status quo and traditional ways of thinking within the Christian community. This made him a polarizing figure among both Christian and secular audiences, but it also earned him a devoted fan base who resonated with his message.

One of the things I appreciate most about Larry Norman is his authenticity. He never compromised his beliefs or watered down his music to fit a certain mold. He challenged listeners to think for themselves and question the world around them, rather than blindly accepting what they were told. This authenticity is what made his music so powerful and enduring.

Another aspect of Larry Norman's music that stands out to me is his

versatility. He could seamlessly blend elements of rock, folk, and blues into his music, creating a sound that was uniquely his own. His ability to connect with so many different people through his music is a testament to his talent and adaptability.

Aside from his musical contributions, Larry Norman was also known for his humanitarian efforts. He advocated for social justice and

actively worked to combat poverty and hunger around the world. His music and actions were a true reflection of his strong Christian beliefs and desire to make a positive impact on the world.

In the wake of his passing in 2008, the impact of Larry Norman's music and legacy continues to live on. His impact can be seen in the countless Christian artists who have been influenced by his fearless approach to music and his unapologetically honest lyrics.

In conclusion, Larry Norman was more than just a musician. He was a pioneer, a visionary, and a voice for those who felt marginalized. His music touched the hearts of many and his legacy will continue to
inspire generations to come. Larry Norman will always be remembered as a true legend and a revolutionary in the world of Christian music.

People love their motorcycles; they take good care of them and work on them to keep their bikes in great shape. So here is a question for all you motorcycle riders.

Has Social Media Gone Too Far? Exploring the Absurdities of the Digital Age

    A Funny Look at Social Media

      Social media has become an integral part of our lives, impacting how we connect, communicate, and share information. While it offers numerous benefits, there is a growing concern about whether social media has gone too far. In this article, we will take a humorous approach to explore the extent to which people have pushed the boundaries, outrageous posts, and the overall good and bad aspects of social media.

Has Social Media Gone Too Far?

      Social media platforms have given rise to countless bizarre and outrageous posts. People seem to have no filter when it comes to sharing their lives online. From oversharing personal information to documenting every moment of their day, social media users have taken it to the extreme. But can we blame them? After all, social media thrives on capturing attention, and shock value is one surefire way to get noticed.

Funny People Who Have Gone Too Far

      You must have come across stories of people who have taken their social media presence to a whole new level of absurdity. From individuals who document their entire day, including mundane activities like brushing their teeth, to those who post every single meal they consume, the commitment to oversharing can be both amusing and mind-boggling. Somehow, these individuals believe that their every move is fascinating enough to capture the attention of their followers, please get a life! But who are we to judge their quest for social media stardom?

Outrageous Posts That Make You Cringe

      Social media has welcomed an era of outrageous posts that can leave you shocked and thinking "What the heck". Whether it's a controversial opinion, offensive remark, or a questionable photograph, and some of the most bizarre video's, some individuals go to great lengths to provoke reactions and generate online drama. It seems like common sense often takes a backseat in the pursuit of social media validation. Yet, as much as we cringe at these posts, they have mastered the art of grabbing our attention and keeping us engaged.

The Good Side of Social Media

            While the rampant absurdity on social media often takes the spotlight, it's important to acknowledge the positive aspects as well. Social media has connected people worldwide, enabling friendships and collaborations that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. It has created avenues for charitable contributions, spreading awareness about important causes, and amplifying marginalized voices. Moreover, it has become a platform for sharing important news and information, facilitating social and political movements.

The Dark Side of Social Media

      However, along with the good comes the bad. Social media platforms have also become breeding grounds for cyberbullying, fake news, and unrealistic beauty standards. The constant pressure to showcase a perfect life and gain validation through likes and followers can lead to anxiety, self-esteem issues, and even addiction. Privacy breaches and the misuse of personal data have also become significant concerns, raising questions about the ethical implications of our digital footprints.

Conclusion

      It's clear that social media has reached unprecedented levels of absurdity, with individuals going to great lengths to capture attention, I guess this is their way of getting 15 min of fame. While it can be entertaining to witness the antics of others, we must also recognize the negative impact of these extremes. Striking a balance between entertaining content and responsible usage is crucial to ensure that the benefits of social media outweigh its drawbacks. So, the question remains, has social media gone too far? Perhaps it's up to us, as users, to decide how we navigate this ever-evolving digital landscape.

From the regular season battles to the thrilling playoffs, their determination and skill have propelled them to the pinnacle of the sport. The 49ers, guided by their brilliant coach Kyle Shanahan, have navigated through tough opponents with finesse.

By highlighting his forgetfulness, gaffes, dance moves, love for ice cream, and furry friends, we can create an amusing portrayal of our beloved president. So let's embrace the lighter side of politics and find humor in the everyday antics of President Joe Biden.

15 of the Dumbest Technical Electronic Gadgets Ever Made.

In the ever-evolving world of technology, it's not uncommon for some gadgets to miss the mark when it comes to practicality and usefulness. From bizarre inventions to ill-conceived ideas, there have been several instances where electronic gadgets have left us scratching our heads and wondering, "What were they thinking?" In this article, we will explore 15 of the dumbest technical electronic gadgets ever made.

The Electric Pet Rock: A Senseless Concept

One of the most infamous gadgets on our list is the Electric Pet Rock. This peculiar gadget aimed to bring the whimsical joy of a pet rock to life by adding electricity to it. However, the lack of any practical application or interactivity made this gadget an evident failure.

The USB Pet Rock: A Technological Flop

Taking the concept of an electric pet rock further, the USB Pet Rock is another truly mind-boggling gadget. Its sole purpose was to serve as a paperweight, with no additional features or functions. This unnecessary gadget became a symbol of excess and waste in the world of technology.

The HAPIfork: An Unnecessary Culinary Companion

Designed to help people improve their eating habits, the HAPIfork was introduced as a smart fork that monitors and alerts users when they eat too quickly. However, considering the hefty price tag and the fact that chewing food slowly is a habit that can be easily cultivated, this gadget seems more like an unnecessary indulgence.

The iPotty: An Unusual Combination

The iPotty, as the name suggests, combines the functionality of a potty training seat with an iPad holder. While the intention may have been to make potty training more engaging for children, the resulting combination seems more like an excessive use of technology for a simple task. It raises questions about the potential long-term effects of excessive screen time for young children.

The Bluetooth-enabled Fork: A Fork without a Purpose

As if a regular fork wasn't functional enough, the Bluetooth-enabled Fork took it a step further. This gadget aimed to monitor users' eating habits and provide feedback on their dietary choices. However, the idea of a fork with Bluetooth connectivity seemed unnecessary, especially since there are numerous smartphone apps available for tracking food consumption.

The Revolting Wireless Mouse: A Disgusting Idea

If you thought using a regular wireless mouse was unhygienic, imagine a mouse made to look and feel like a real rat. The Revolting Wireless Mouse was a novelty gadget that aimed to shock and disgust users. However, it failed to provide any practical use beyond its shock value.

The Talking TP Dispenser: A Bizarre Bathroom Companion

While bathroom accessories can be functional and aesthetically pleasing, the Talking TP Dispenser missed the mark entirely. This gadget aimed to entertain users with pre-recorded messages while they used the toilet. However, most people prefer a moment of peace and quiet in the bathroom, making this gadget an unnecessary and intrusive addition.

The USB Typewriter: A Retrograde Step

In an attempt to combine the charm of typewriters with modern technology, the USB Typewriter was created. This gadget allowed users to connect a retro typewriter to a computer via USB. However, the practicality and functionality of this gadget were questionable, as typing on an actual typewriter is often slower and less efficient than using a keyboard.

The Wi-Fi Detector Shirt: A Fashion Statement Fail

While wearable technology has seen significant advancements over the years, the Wi-Fi Detector Shirt falls short in terms of both style and functionality. This t-shirt had LEDs that lit up to indicate the presence of a Wi-Fi signal. However, the lack of practicality and the unattractive design made it an unworthy addition to anyone's wardrobe.

The Laser-Guided Scissors: A Pointless Invention

Cutting a straight line may seem like a simple task, but the Laser-Guided Scissors aimed to make it even easier. By projecting a laser guide onto the cutting line, this gadget sought to ensure precision. However, the added complexity and cost of the gadget made it more of a hindrance than a help.

The Solar-Powered Flashlight: A Glaring Error

Innovation in the field of renewable energy is commendable, but the idea of a solar-powered flashlight seems counterintuitive. The whole purpose of a flashlight is to provide light in situations where there is no natural light available. Therefore, this gadget failed to offer any practical use, often leaving users in the dark when they needed it most.

In conclusion, The world of technology is not without its share of questionable gadgets. From the unnecessary to the downright bizarre, we have explored 15 of the dumbest technical electronic gadgets ever made. These gadgets serve as a reminder that, even in the ever-advancing world of technology, not every idea is worth pursuing.

New Year, new adventures: Expectations vs. reality

 Expectations vs. reality

 As we enter the new year, many of us are filled with anticipation and excitement for what the next 365 days will bring. We set resolutions, make plans, and eagerly await the adventures that await us in the year ahead. However, as we all know, expectations don't always match up with reality. This dichotomy can be especially true when it comes to the expectations we have for the new year. In this blog post, we'll explore the common expectations we have for the new year and how they often differ from the reality.

Expectation: I will stick to all of my resolutions and become a new person.

Reality: It's easier said than done.

Every year, we make a list of resolutions that we hope will transform our lives for the better. We promise ourselves that we will exercise more, eat healthier, save more money, and so on. However, as time goes on, we often find ourselves slipping back into old habits and routines, and our resolutions are soon forgotten. The truth is, change is hard, and it's not something that can be achieved overnight. It takes dedication and perseverance to make lasting changes, and it's important to set achievable goals rather than expecting a complete transformation.

Expectation: I will have the best year ever, filled with constant adventure and

excitement.

Reality: Life is unpredictable, and there will be ups and downs.

We often have high expectations for the new year, envisioning it as a year filled with exciting trips, new experiences, and constant happiness and success. While we all hope for a smooth and exciting year ahead, the reality is that life is unpredictable. There will be challenges, setbacks, and moments of boredom. It's important to remember that these ups and downs are all part of the journey and can bring valuable lessons and growth if we approach them with an open mind.

Expectation: I will start fresh and leave all my problems behind in the old year.

Reality: Our problems and responsibilities will follow us into the new year.

Many of us hope that with the new year comes a clean slate, free from the worries and stresses of the previous year. While it's important to let go of the past and move forward, our problems and responsibilities do not disappear overnight. We still have bills to pay, work to do, and relationships to navigate. Instead of expecting a fresh start, we should focus on finding ways to cope with and overcome our challenges.

Expectation: I will have a busy and productive year, accomplishing all of my goals.

Reality: Sometimes, life happens, and our plans may change.

We all have goals and ambitions that we hope to achieve in the new year. However, unexpected events or circumstances can throw a wrench in our plans. We may have to adapt to changes in our work or personal life, or our priorities may shift. While it's important to set goals and work towards them, it's also crucial to be adaptable and open to change. The reality is that life doesn't always go as planned, and that's okay.

As we reflect on our expectations for the new year, it's essential to remember that they are just that - expectations. While some may come to fruition, others may not, and that's okay. It's important to approach the new year with an open mind, ready to take on whatever comes our way. And who knows, maybe the reality will surpass our expectations and bring us even more joy and adventure than we could have imagined. Cheers to a new year filled with both reality and exciting adventures!
