Hello to those handful of you who read this stuff! I’ve done a lot of debating where I’m going to branch out next and the best bet for me has to be pursuing some of my personal projects. I know it sounds like it should be the obvious direction to go, but there have been many factors inhibiting this from happening.

Regarding this blog, it is currently too broad. I try to make an effort to focus on the technical posts, but it never happens especially considering the other outlets I have for publishing things in the realm of system building, search engine marketing, and Joomla/web development. Also, with the latest release of Joomla, I feel I’ll be dropping Wordpress all together. WP is just too broad and it lacks the structure required for organizing things the way I want them. I can also get some serious API integrations done with Joomla in a much quicker fashion. Nothing against Wordpress as a platform, I think it’s just time for me to move on.

The new Johnux.com platform is going to be based around the following categories: Tech rants, Gaming, Business Ethics(short quotes), Health & Fitness, Hardware Reviews, Art, and Music. Encouraged by a close friend, I’m definitely going to start making electronica again. I might take up vocal and piano lessons again. I still want to free-learn on my guitar and violin, but I think I might take a direct route back to piano. Having learned the basics behind music at age 5 I feel it’s kind of a waste to not be doing something with it. According to my friend, I possess the structure needed to break music down accurately(audiophile prowess) and I had a lot of success in the past with some odd ambient and one off amient-electric stuff. We’ll see where it goes, but I’ll definitely be posting it all on here!

I’m currently working on some hardware reviews(need a good youtube channel name!), some game videos for League of Legends(special thanks to Ecks), and I’m writing a cookbook that I will definitely be touching on from time to time. I would tell everyone to subscribe, but I don’t want to fuss with data migration during the platform switch so I’ll just say, bookmark it, keep an eye out.

Thanks!

A weight. A mind. A body.

Written a while back:

(I’m really sick right now, and wrote/felt/lived this while meditating in water because being alert and conscious wasn’t what the germs wanted)

I escaped and before I was able to realize where I had gone from, I began to drift across the surface of the water. Travelling this path a voice encouraged me to reach in and pull up as much water in my hand as I could hold. With hand half opened I lifted it from the water and a texture began to form. The water grew warmer and began to pulsate. I knew this device was not my own and that I could never control it. It had to be left alone. I slowly dropped my hand back into the water with fingers stretched. The form of water stayed in my hand and grew as heavy as a liquid metal. Feeling the form pulsate even faster and stronger than before I knew that I could never decide it’s fate but that it might be inclined to stay on it’s own. I will let it rest there, warmer as the days pass, warmer till it burns through my hand or melts into me, creating my new shape. A hand with a heart in it.
