I feel energised
Exercised
Motorised!
Cross-eyed
The sunshine is finally starting to seep in to my bones and revitalise the broken Winter Doll
YES! Give it to me! I want sunshine sauce on my cereal and in my eyeballs!
Songwriting
This morning I noticed I had a few comments from my old friend @connecteconomy who I met in Lisbon at the steemfest in 20...17 was it? She suddenly popped up out of the blue and read through some of my neurotic blog posts from this monthly #HiveBloPoMo thing Ive been doing.
What??? There are new songs? RECORD AND PUBLISH THEM PLEASE!!!
It's super selfish to keep them all to yourself...
I completely agree. And therefore Im going to make a concerted effort to try to get some songs recorded. One thing that has happened is that Ive been doing some recording with some musicians and trying to do it semi-properly which has stood in the way a bit. I used to just press record on my phone and ignore the buzzing of the piano and the muffled vocals,,, and the fact that it was just me!...but somehow my standards have been irreversibly tainted by using a proper microphone and I simply cant bear to go back to the phone mic! HOWEVER I am going to try to stop hiding behind other musicians and troublesome visions of high production value and just bang some songs out in a friendly slap-dash manner. I'll still try to use a microphone I think, but its time to put pride to one side, and get back to my clunky solo ways. Otherwise I might be hit by a bus, and then what would have been the point in writing all this material?
So there we go. Anja you have inspired me. Expect to hear something soon-ish
Just once Ive played some more...

His stun actually worked in my favour because it stopped my serpent killing itself on his chwala. Its worth considering that when you use stun because sometimes your tank is doing enough of a job on its own and its more worthwhile to concentrate your ranged attacks else where.

my backline did a great job of holding off my opponents attacks in this high mana sneak ruleset. Quik was giving me extra pace and I double nerfed their melee with alvar and the disintegrator. Worked a treat ;)

The slow Build
Elon Musk. Pah. I mean sure, maybe he can make twitter a bit more relevant for a while... but honestly....he's not really going to decentralise is he, and even if he was prepared to divvy out his VERY expensive controlling stake, can you imagine trying to lay a dynamic tokenomic system on to a population that big? The results would almost certainly be disastrous! If he were to do this, and somehow pull it off even semi-successfully it would something like a miracle. Hive, 3speak, project blank, sovereign decentralised communities.... even games like splinterlands, THAT is where the revolution is happening. One brick at a time. Growing with the technology. Testing the systems thoroughly as they develop. Always utilising the the power of the community.
This is the slow and steady evolution of super nuanced technology that requires YEARS to grow carefully and and dynamically. When the time comes to shine, Hive will be ready and no zealous tech giant will even be close to catching up. It would be almost like trying to set up a new society on mars...
Peace, love and prosperity to all you shiny Hivies
