Low time preference beauty. No where to go, no where to be. Bucket list visit someday.

Connected with a friend recently who got another dog. Great..awesome. Good guy great guy, but no partner. In and out of relationships. Can’t/doesn’t want to commit. This is the reality of the modern age: single or you’re a DINK. Granted, I realize this isn’t always by choice and everyone’s situation is different. However, having two kids myself, I can tell you there is nothing more meaningful you can do with your life than pay it forward and pass down your genetics. Kids can be a lot of work but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Filling that nurturing “hole” with pets isn’t the answer. All the plants and animals spread their seeds. To procreate is to partake in the deepest, most sacred part of The Mystery. I love my dog, but it’s not the same deep rooted love and connection I have for my kids. There are no substitutions. Spread your seed. Have kids. Life rips.

Music history in a nutshell…Anyone appreciate ska and/or Ska Punk? There’s a neat history behind this particular music and how it evolved.

Mid/late 60s, Jamaican ska was booming thanks to the likes of Desmond Dekker, Skatalites, Wailing Wailers. The influence of this music eventually morphed into Rocksteady and Reggae with its slowed down tempo and heavy bass lines. However, the upbeat tempo of ska made its way to the UK where the Jamaicans intermingled with the punks.

This lead to the late 70s “2 Tone” era encompassing a sharp/punchy energy to the mix.

The punk influence was in full effect with high energy upstrokes fueled by a desire for social change and racial unity (Ie. Selector, The Beat, Specials).

Enter the third wave: Orange County, CA in the mid to late 90s. Building off previous influence, the third wave ska movement kept the high energy of its predecessors but was highly influenced by their particular flavor of punk intertwined with the OC hardcore/skate scene (Reel Big Fish, No Doubt, Aquabats)

I really enjoy all waves of ska, including ska punk. It’s cool to give respect to the origins of sound - Where it came from

and where it will go.

I frequently listen to Jamaican ska, but tonight I revisited a classic 90s Ska Punk album:

“Hello Rockview” by Less Than Jake.

Despite origins in Fla, it’s an all time favorite of mine and a definitive album of the era. Front to back, it’s a fun nostalgic trip back to a time and a place. It’s grounded in youthful undertones mixed with punchy

anthemic horns, guitars and catchy lyrics. As a kid being wrapped up in the skate/snow scene, it definitely had an influence.

It’s fun to trace the history of that particular sound all the way back to 1960s Jamaica. The common thread is there despite the radical change in sound. If the below doesn’t suit you - try some classic 60s ska. Taste the origins, then revisit to sense the commonalities.

Anyway - Hello Rockview:

Why do we say GM?

Nostr represents a radical leap toward a freer, more dynamic internet. With Nostr we get absolute free speech, open competition, and genuine user autonomy.

On Nostr, we control our identities through cryptographic keys, so we can join any community we want without losing our followers, content, or voice.

And because the network relies on many independent “relays” rather than a single central server, there’s no single gatekeeper to censor or deplatform you.

By integrating Bitcoin’s Lightning Network for micropayments, Nostr opens new possibilities for creators and entrepreneurs. Imagine zapping someone a few cents for a clever post or paying directly for valuable insights—no middleman, no hidden fees. It transforms social media into a global marketplace of ideas and services, free from the advertising-driven business models that dominate Big Tech.

Nostr offers a blueprint for disrupting entrenched monopolies in the same way open-source software upended proprietary giants. Instead of complaining about Silicon Valley’s control, we can build a world where users own their data, creators earn directly from their audience, and innovation happens in the open. It’s a rare glimpse of real progress—one that puts individual freedom and entrepreneurial spirit front and center.

We’re witnessing the reemergence of a truly open internet. If you believe that tech should empower people rather than exploit them, Nostr is where you want to be spending your time. Nostr is the most promising and disruptive idea since Bitcoin.

And on Nostr we say GM.
