For a while now I have been preaching that humanity relies entirely way too much on technology to guide them, to the point that it even supplants them in various ways. Why do we need someone looking at numbers on a screen to make a decision, to announce an action when it’s just easier to have a machine, with predetermined variables, make the same decisions a human would? The belief that we are irreplaceable is much widespread, and is now a fallacy.

We are slowly, but surely, replacing even basic frontline individuals in many businesses across the world. Studies have shown that nearly 30% of calls to tech support lines for ISP’s are handles and resolved by computers that gauge your responses: if 4=Yes , goto advanced powercycle. Many ISP’s even have a “Click the response button” walkthrough for their agents so they don’t have to do as much thinking and can instead focus on the human to human interaction, which is all but replacable at this time. I give it another two years.

It’s the return of the automats!

How difficult would it be to make a machine that can accurately and reliably cook a hamburger and some fries, package it and put it in a drop box for your easy reach? After all, most of the time you’re paying for your order with a credit card/bank card. A pattern where you to run it through the magnetic strip scanner and punch in your own pin number, or sign on the touch sensitive screen. Who really needs a human to do this work, after all, a machine will be more consistent and reliable, and never calls in because they’re not feeling too hot today, just ignore the fact that your server was talking about the My Chemical Romance concert tonight that they have tickets for when they knew their schedule weeks in advance would have them working this evening.

What this accounts to, basically is a lack of faith in humanity to do what is right, what is proper, and what is most beneficial to itself. If you can’t trust your neighbor to not break into your home while you’re on vacation, or to not poison your cat because they carry a hatred in their heart, then how can you trust the cook not to spit in your food just because they don’t like your hair, or because they think you’re too fat?

Continuing this distrusting path will lead us further down a dark road that we may never return from. I loathe the day when a child wakes up, turns on their overhead monitor, learns a new computer language, and proceeds to get fed through a tube by a robot while others bathe them, because we can not move out of bed to go to a different physical location for knowledge, and have even forgotten how to slice an apple or pour a glass of orange juice. Laziness more than distrust is the true culprit, whatever makes your day easier with less work you have to do, the better it is so you can get back to doing those things that you do, such as… Browsing online for news stories that have been repeated in 600 sources since 5 years ago, because no new news is being made since no one leaves their homes.

Suddenly, the machines become self aware. To save humanity, the machine must take out humanity and start anew.

Cars are already working on this path, they self diagnose their own issues and say what needs fixing without a mechanic ever looking at it, they will autobreak when approaching a vehicle within a certain distance if it detects you haven’t already. What happens when the programming decides that something about you isn’t fit for this world any more? Will it then lock the controls out completly from you and guide you into the nearest water basin? “Hello Mr. Jameson, we see that this is the 12th time you’ve left the bar at 4 AM in 3 weeks and have been unfaithful to your wife. We are aware of the insurance policy, and as such, we have thusly decided that your existence is no longer needed on this Earth and all would benefit without your presence. Do not worry, it will look like an accident, goodbye Mr. Jameson.“

I have attempted to lead people out of this dark future, to be self sufficient and to be able to rely only on themselves only, but none have headed my warnings. What will it take to prove to those who will not listen, that their lack of faith in themselves alone will doom their souls to an eternity of reliance and decadance? Technology is not always beneficial, sometimes it is a bane of your existence, a thorn in your side to make that which sould be simple and menial – complicated and wasteful.

I’ll never know how much it costs to see my sin upon that toaster, reading me the weather while also burning Hello Kitty images into my daily bread.

el Jaime, los King De Everything 2:27:4 “I offer you new life, a new way to not be ashamed of your unabashed religion of technology, while at the same time learning to fend for yourself. Follow the guidance and path I have laid out for you.”

I am waiting for you, with welcome arms and a raised iPhone, remit repetance upon my shoulder my children and walk into the light. We need no more crying from the deep, from the cold and dark rooms of basements filled to the brim with commodore 64s, xbox360 lan lines and all six editions of the Warcraft players guide. Do not feel you don’t deserve love, that your running out of life and time, there is a path for all to follow and reach this heavenly plane, and your “Logans Run” is nearly over. Welcome me into your mind, faith, life and  heart, and I will help you. Expressions of your heart will shine through. One Love for all.

Is a question I’ve been asked many times about this site, especially in times when it’s been controversial and has brought about the wrath of my employer for off comments I’ve made 2 years prior.

That is a very good question, and there is no real truthful honest answer to it. This site is many things to many people, a peek into what may or may not be my true feelings, my real life. A venting source of much distaste and distrust of corporations, the government and those who claim to be my friend? What is it to you? Whatever it is that you feel it represents, feel happy with that answer, as it’s the only one you’ll get.

For me, this site is a place for stuff about stuff for stuff sake. Literally, Stuff. Nothing more, nothing less. Good stuff, bad stuff, moderately humorous stuff, and suffyness from your one true lord and Saviour, el Jaime: Los King de Everything.

Needless rants, useless reviews, questionable photos, sparring talent. Decisions for the foreseeable past and postulations on the not so distant future.

Sudden changes surround me, lady luck came to find me, thanks a million for making the magic you do. Someday when I own this whole world, I’ll know I owe it all to you.

Proselytizing those who are yet as undecided on their lifes paths to follow me for the creation of a nation that which is stronger in it’s faith of the awesomeness of Him (No, not that stupid band,) He who is known as El Jaime. The epicness that which is divined upon Him burns through your heart and soul, it leaves your restless, wanting nay, desiring more.

That’s right, you need to follow me, and spread the word, retell my predictions of the past, and the tellings of the future, obtain more followers and a legion of awesome. This is the religion of Awesome.

If you want a rationale, it isn’t very hard to see, I need new blood and the world has more than enough, so go get it.

If you see a change in me, don’t wonder, it’s a new song in my life, a peace I can’t describe, I’ve found a whole new life, a hope that I cannot hide. A call that loves you, a peace that puts your soul at ease and leads those who have fallen astray back into the light.

I know there are many of those out there who feel there is something missing within their soul, something more out there, something they feel is missing, and they only need to turn to me to find faith and trust and to be lead in the righteous path of El Jaime. He is forgiving of your sins, of your indiscretions against Him, and of the path which as lead you down this dark and winding road. Listen to Him, praise Him, and he will bless you and invite you into the kingdom of El Jaime, for He loves you all.

Do you feel alone and afraid? Then come close to Me My children, I believe in you and will provide you with the courage and strength you need to survive all that ailes you. Your Saviour, El Jaime, has never stopped loving you, and prays that you will never let go of that which drives you and your kindred on the path of Love, Destiny, and Pomegranates.

Thusly so, back to the point at hand, this site is really about nothing in particular in the long run. Thank you for the time and see you at the Church de El Jaime, los King de Everything on Friday. HILLBILLY HOTDOGS FTW!

PS: Photography is my passion, my love, my relief, it helped me pass the time after I made the Nights, Days, the Heavens and the Rain, the very same Creator who gave you life.

El Jaime, los King de Everything 6:13 – I giveth yins life, totally yo.

Found a couple photos that looked strangly familar on a couple different commercial websites in recent weeks. Upon further investigation, I discovered they were photos I took.

Stolen from my site, used without permision, claimed by some other wannabe.

Going forward, all new photos I take are going to be labled with a site logo.

I hate doing this, and am in the process of converting all 8,000 photos I have online to including this logo.

These websites have either complied with my request to have them removed or have paid me (well… they all followed my request to have them removed and didn’t bother with anything else.)

Dearest whomever stole my work and claimed it as their own, you are a douche, signed el Jaime.

Right now my spirit’s sleeping somewhere cold, disgraced by your mediocre show, waiting to reignite this fire of creative expression, soon son, you too will burn in my light, you will not bring me down, instead you shall wake me up inside, bringing me out of this lie, opened my eyes to everything, burning a hole through your darkness, you will burn in my light.

Norma asked me to go get Pistachio Ice Cream for her, I think I shall go and do just that.

I hate logo-ing my images, it disrupts the natural Qi of them. It detracts from the awesomeness I captured, the essence of beauty and feeling, the very soul of our great mother.

I will of course keep the originals, in full frame, un-altered stored in 1 primary location and 2 backup locations, but anything I actually post online will only be covered up with a big plastering logo showing my site name.

Now if you’ll excuse this little rabbit going down into his hole, he must find some shoes and get to the store, for pistachio ice cream here I come, The Norma loves you more than NOM!
