    Today marks a sad day in the realm of digital music and file sharing. What was first started as oink.co.uk and more recently transferred to oink.cd, was the cozy little corner of the internet with a nice music sharing community. Users were able to upload full albums to the site and share their beloved musical jewels with other users. As long as users kept their sharing ratio at a decent level, everybody was allowed to take and give music or other files as they wished. We have caught news that today the owners of oink.cd got their servers raided in Amsterdam, and the site has been completely shut down. The greedy music giants have shut down a perfect utopia of people who have enjoyed and shared their music for years and years. When will the music battle finally end? When will we be back to full album sharing over a digital medium? This was a breakthrough service, which united people on a common ground, and has been devastated instantly, with no warning or remorse.

        age_of_empires_ii_-_the_age_of_kings_coverart.pngDuring the Middle Ages, there wasn’t a whole lot of fun and excitement to be had in the daily musings of life. The simple minded peasant farmed the land, raised the sheep, and helped where ever they were needed by their feudal master.  The feudal master controlled and instructed his people on what their tasks would be from day to day, which could have been any number of things. You, my dear Old Wizard patron, shall be that Master. You shall be the master of the Middle Ages, and of the many different civilizations that claimed the times of castles, catapults, swords, and pikes all to their own. But it’s not just instructing the peasant to build and till the farm for the good of the colony. It is much more survivalist than that. This game can only be mastered through thinking like a King that must house, feed, and protect his people.

          “I haven’t slept for ten days because that would be too long” – Mitch Hedberg

          Gandhi didn’t sleep for a long time. He was all messed up because of it. He saw God, had visions, laid down in front of rampaging horses. Muhammed did almost the same thing except without the horses. But he didn’t sleep a lot because an angel kept visiting him while he slept. Then he began reciting stuff.

              A while back I bought some celestial seasonings tension tamer tea for my sister, who will remain nameless to protect the witless. I bought it because there was a dragon on the box and I was a bit maniacal about dragons. After 5 months, she decides to try the tea and says it was really good. Now I am a partial skeptic when it comes to herbal remedies trusting to ancient lore rather than what a product’s box says.

              So on an influenced whim, a tea drinker I am not, I bought a box of the tea to try it for myself. Its caffeine free, by the way. I drank it and felt relaxed. This could be because it was a warm liquid or I could be placebo-ing myself into believing I feel relaxed or it might actually have some herb-aputic properties to it. Whatever the case, and ignorance is bliss here, I cant get enough of the stuff. If I am feeling crazy or my mind is racing, I drink a spot ‘o tea and I am feeling pretty chill. I feel like smiling at everything too…birds…rocks…..trees….the horizon….pretty much anything thats just chilli’n too. So ‘ to you sister that recommended tea to me. Without your uncanny fondness to use a gift that someone got for you, I would not be grinning like a baboon as I write this.
