These were very stylist when I was a wee jewlet. I has dual input aux for pc, phone/mp3 player and can read MP3 CD's. Cannot wait to clean it up, service it and put in place by my PC at home.

How to censor the Internet a simple guide. > Create a safety act > Other countries pick it up (CA, UK, EU, AU) > Isolate the US tech companies through law > US tech companies loose money > US tech companies call for changes > US Government calls for subtile changes > It will presented as 'protecting the youth > A loud minority of voices will ask for it > US Government will pass subtile changes > The downfall can begin This is the playbook on how the internet will be censored. Many are going to bring up the 1st amendment but this doesn't apply to private companies and they will always do what they can to make money. They will bend the knee in time when they loose money and the US is isolated online by the rest of the world they will push for the censoring of the internet in order to keep their revenues and lobby the government.

The Pulse That Outlives Me Since I was small, my hands have itched for the weight of something new, the warm breath of an idea still wet from birth. While others chased nights strung with music and lights, I chased the hum beneath my ribs— that low, holy vibration that says: Make. Make. Make. I am not afraid of death— only of silence, of the stillness that comes when the last word dries, when the last color fades from my palette. Some people fear missing the party. I fear missing the next perfect shiver of creation, the one that seizes my spine like lightning, the one that says: Here. This is yours. Make it real before it slips away forever. Even as a child, I knew my bones would be dust one day. But a poem— a song, a shadow on film, a brushstroke on canvas— that could outlive me. That could keep my voice whispering in the ears of strangers long after my name is forgotten. So I make. I bleed ink. I sweat pigment. I dream in shapes and sounds. Every piece is a fragment of the monument I am building to outlast my pulse. And when I am gone, let them find my works scattered like constellations— each one a flare I sent into the dark, each one still burning, still warm, still breathing my name. https://www.blogger.com/u/7/blog/post/edit/7919007891465025240/49843031849199149
