Over the years one of my main goals even if it didn't coincide with the Genre of my usual music, that I wanted to get the Rockstar Treatment. Basically by that I mean Classic Rock Style.

Now despite the genre specific name, the Rockstar Treatment doesn't just apply to Rockstars, but any musician of any genre can be referred to as such. For example, when Amadeus first came around, despite some inaccuracies, their goal was to prove to the world that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was the Rockstar of Classical Music. And boy did they, he was nice to some, but mean to others, got into substance abuse, delved into controversy when he wanted to adapt Figaro and because of his music, even those that dislike him can't deny he died a legend that is loved even to this day.

Now let's take a look at my life regarding my overall music career. I make music most people like. I'm nice to some people on this site and mean to others, for justified reasons, but I still count it as mean. I delved into controversy not once, but at least 3 times and through some of my work promoted substances (Weed, but still.). I'm literally an immortalized death away from ticking off all the list requirements, but my revelation is this.

For all the times I wanted to be a Rockstar, I have realized the following:

I AM A ROCKSTAR!!

I've been one the whole time and I didn't realize it until then. And with the exception of a select few things, I have no regrets on how I got there.

When you get right down to it, names have a lot of meaning from definitions of said name to associations with said name both good and bad. However whenever a name becomes infamous for one reason or another, the people who share that name often have the worst of luck. So in salute and sorry for all the shit you went through because some asshole with the same name originated it. I hereby give you the top 5 names with the worst luck.

Number 5: Karen

While I appreciate a good Karen joke as other person, when you get right down to it, a lot of the "Karens" out there are not even named Karen. So the people whom happened to have that name, often have the worst luck of being ridiculed by those whom encountered or watched a video on a "Karen" or two. Of course it doesn't help that the main definition of Karen, didn't even start at a store with a manager, but with a wife of a famous Mafioso pissed off about him cheating on her:

Still until someone can find a less sexist version of the phrase "Self-absorbed entitled bitch." Karen is here to stay.

Number 4: Steve

Literally every joke, ridicule and insult often begins or ends with that name. LittleKuriboh of Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged had a lot of mileage on that one:

Number 3: Meg

Do I even really have to explain this one?

Number 2: Beulah

When people here that name it's often associated, with shrewd wet blanket border-lining Nazi bitches that try to ruin fun for the rest of the people. So bad that if someone who doesn't fit that description gets saddled with that name, they'd go through great lengths to keep anyone from knowing it:

Number 1: Adolf

A name so infamous that very few Germans and Austrians even use it anymore. So bad for a very good reason, that anyone who else got saddled with it, would be labelled a Nazi even if they were in the Allied. The most famous other than the most infamous example is this man:

Adolf Dassler. Sound familiar. Look down at your shoes. If some of you aren't wearing Nikes or Puma or Reebok, then you're most likely wearing his shoes. Adidas. Now too his credit Dassler shortened his name to "Adi" so that he'd avoid being associated with Hitler. But to add further to the irony look at this picutre:

That's Jesse Owens, whom you may remember is the one black American runner that proved to Hitler that the "Aryan Race" wasn't all he hyped up to be and the shoes he's wearing here for his long jump, are Adi's brand. That's right, Jesse Owens beat Adolf with the help of another Adolf. And yes, that's why I put it in the number one spot. For if not for the magic of archives and data, that poor Adi would have his shoes destroyed simply for sharing the same name as Hitler.

But let me know if there are worst luck names you know. Just to add a bonus one. If you think Eric and Dylan are the worst luck names to go by due to....well you know. Go to a Japanese school and mention the name "Sakakibara" you'll get the exact same reaction.

Brief Bulletin:

https://cieirmusic.newgrounds.com/news/post/1332909

Ok. It's been a while since I wrote this and I shall tell you the result so far as well as put an addition to this.

First of all, the formula didn't work properly at first. But then I realized the problem.

The chlorophyll I used for phase 4 was different than the one I first used. Initially I thought there shouldn't be a problem. However upon looking at both labels. One from my old bottle and one from the newest one I used at the time I realized where I went wrong.

Although Chlorophyll is basically the blood of the plant. Much like human blood as well as animal blood, it also has different types. In my case for the first part of the Chlorophyll, I used Chlorophyll extracted from mulberry leaves. But for phase 4 I used Chlorophyll extracted from Alfalfa.......The plant not the Little Rascal.

So this month I corrected myself bought the original stuff I was looking for when it was sold out before and after 5 days of drinking the mix daily I got back to where I was. On top of that, was able to lower my stress levels thanks to the berry juice I mixed with it, as you can see in Phase 4.

Now with that, I've basically covered a huge chunk of overall health and diet issues. However despite that, this is not meant to be a direct alternative, but rather an aid to your overall dietary requirments.

With that said if someone is planning on going on a full liquid diet or at least 75 percent of one. There is one thing you have to do. Do your research on what nutrition is required for breakfast, lunch, snacksand dinner. Now if you look closely at the top info searches on these links I've given you. You'll notice that among most things, you need protein, healthy fats, carbs and fibre to survive and have a healthy meal. So if you're going full liquid diet, you'd need the following.

1. A good source of protein, Whey Protein / Vega if you're Vegan
2. A good source of fibre. This can range from anything from flavourless fibre drink mixes or if you want to make something from scratch use grain based fibre such as bran.
3. A good source of healthy fats. This can range from milk (Both dairy and plant based) to yogurt. The latter I recommend, because on top of healthy fats, you'll also get an improvement on your microbiome thanks to the probiotics in yogurt.

Now I warn you. As someone who's tried the liquid diet thing before, it's not pleasant, but if you can get used to it, then more power to you.

In my case so far I'm only just trying Whey protein with milk powder. However I hope to add some fibre in it as well as maybe using some yogurt be it the container or the yogurt drink depending on which is more effective.

Well I just found out Punxsutawney Phil, the traditional mascot for Groundhog Day saw his shadow. Meaning 6 more weeks of winter.......welp. I'll let Red Green tell you what happened after:

For this one I'm advertising the recent albums and tracks I posted on my bandcamp.

Terror From Beyond Worlds

Probably one of the most trippy music I ever made. I had a lot of fun with this.

The Legend of Krampus

Although Christmas is long since passed, I still recommend people listen to this. Yule love it.

CIEIR vs Dark Divide Alternate Ending

I figured, Marvel had "What If..?" and DC had "Elseworlds". So I figured when in Rome.

Lovecraft Noir 0

The final (Maybe...) part of my Lovecraft Noir Series. I had way too much fun with this and even created possibly the most scariest fucking thing on this album alone.

Be sure to check these out and more. And if you're feeling generous, tip me on Ko-Fi.

Just something I wrote up for kicks here are 5 ways:

1. Step on their shoes. I'm not even talking about hurting their feet, but a lot of people in all walks of life would go apeshit if any speck of dirt or damage happens to their shoes. Which is bullshit, because shoes are designed to protect your feet from harm and dirt. Yet, so many people wear these $200 shiny and new shoes and expect them to stay clean and untouched with each walk. And contrary to popular belief, it is men that complain about it more than women.
2. Like something others hate. A common problem is that whenever someone dislikes something, whether it's a show, movie or game, that they feel the need to make others not enjoy it so they don't feel alone on this. I like to call it Marge Simpson syndrome.
3. Ketchup. No word of a lie, in certain parts of the world especially in the States, people will either roll their eyes at you, insult you or downright even try to fight you physically if you request ketchup. Especially in Chicago on Hot Dogs. Let me ask you assholes who agree with that bullshit. Are you the one paying for the food? No. Are you the one eating the food? No. Then shut the fuck up.
4. Exist. No word of a lie, there are some crazy people out there, for various reasons both common prejudicial and even more non-sensical reasons that get easily triggered by you existing for one reason or another. The Karens being a huge example of that.
5. Mention the word "Concussion" to a hardcore NFL fan or a Rep from the actual league. Now in the League's defense they're trying to balance out how much money and fans they may lose should they try to make football safer for the players. However, the way they approached the concussion scandals, by denying it constantly rather than owning up to it and maybe compensating the players that worked their bodies out trying to make them money, is grossly disgusting. With the Superbowl coming up and the fact that they never dealt with it properly still, makes this a timeless issue.

Thank you for listening to my funny nonsense.

CIEIRNEWS Audio Edition:

Letter from The Editor:

Ok no word of a lie. I'm only doing this because I love to play with the microphone when I first get it. That said, let's hope my voice is better than my writing. Well. I survived Christmas, managed to accomplish some personal goals and now I'm back better than ever. So sit back relax and enjoy some news.

Local News:

In local news today, two transit workers from the TTC were assaulted by what can only be described as 10 - 15 Youths. They attacked three people and fled the area. Now look, as someone who's lived in this city for 25 years, I get it. Some bus drivers can be a pain in the ass and some passengers can make Karens look like saints. However they got a job to do like everyone else and attacking them is no way to solve things. To those punk kids that did this, go to the corner and think about what you did. Then turn yourselves in.

World News:

In world news today. As we come close to the first anniversary of the Russian Ukraine conflict, we see that neither side is giving up, Putin may still resign and things seem to loosen up. But the war may not seem to end any time soon. My heart goes out to those in Ukraine that are on Newgrounds. Stay safe and keep doing what you're doing. As for you Vlady, I hope someone runs you over with a steam roller while Ra Ra Rasputin plays in the background. 

Entertainment News:

First of all big shout out to @underscore8298 for getting front paged once again. A shout out to @Demonicity for announcing his sample pack available to all. And congratualations @TheMiamiDeSantos for getting 400 subscribers.

In other entertainment news, Avatar: Way Of The Water, made over the promised 2 Billion dollars. Director James Cameron set out to make the movie in 2017 and released it in December of 2022. I guess you can say he terminated the Box Office.

Funnies:

Funnies are at the end of the audio.

Thanks for listening be sure to check out my bandcamp and tip me on Ko-Fi.

After this one:

https://cieirmusic.newgrounds.com/news/post/1332909

I thought I'd give an official name and instructions on how to make my small crazy idea. Which I now officially dub:

CIEIRMusic's Health Potion #1 and #2:

Now I know what you're thinking. "Isn't it one potion that you cobbled together?" Yes it is, but as my journey to improve it went I realized I made 2 while making one. Ironically in colours similar to the Health and Magic Meter potions from the Legend of Zelda Series. Well because I didn't anticipate the smoke quitting properties of my initial white tea and chlorophyll mix I consider it a separate potion all together. #1 is on the left and #2 is on the right.

Now on with how to make them:

Ingredients:

Now these are ingredients for my usual 2L recipie, if you want for a more bigger container, simply just do the math from here.

8 Bags of White Tea: The Brand itself doesn't matter, but I recommend the more Chinese themed brands as opposed to the American brands.

40 Drops of Chlorophyll: Now for this I reccomend a guranteed strong source of Chlorophyll. I learned the hard way that no two bottles are the same.

1 Cup of Berry Juice: It's best to use the %100 no sugar added for this. That said, preferably one rich in blueberry and pomegranate for the effect you're looking for.

Tools:

1 2L cooking pot or tea kettle you have at home: This will be your cauldron of sorts. If you have an electric kettle ignore the tool below.

1 Conventional Oven Stovetop: For those who don't have an electric kettle this is something you need to get cooking.

1 Stirring Spoon or Stick: Stirring is an essential part of all of it.

1 2L Container: While I showed a plastic one, I prefer glass ones as they're easier to clean.

1 Kitchen Timer: This is the handiest tool of them all. If you have one that can go for over an hour. Even better.

Instructions.

1. Pour water into pot or kettle until full.
2. Let it heat to the boiling point.
3. Shut it off and remove from heat source.
4. Wait until your water has reached room temperature. Which depending on container ranges from 45 minutes to 90 minutes.
5. Put your tea in the water and let it steep for an hour.
6. Stir and pour mixture into container.
7. Put drops of chlorophyll into the mix.
8. Stir the mix until you see a bright green. For #1 you can just put it in the refrigerator after.
9. For #2 add one cup or two of berry juice then refrigerate after.
10. Once cool to your liking, drink and enjoy.

And that's how it's done. My small crazy idea turning into an enjoyable health potion for everyone to love. Let me know how yours turns out.

I was in the middle of this when I found out about the Putin Article, but it couldn't have come at a worse time.

As most people know, I've tried to get my health drink to cover cosmetic and external stuff:

https://cieirmusic.newgrounds.com/news/post/1322203

It didn't work too well on that part because I used too little Pomegranate Juice.

However I also discovered as written here here:

https://cieirmusic.newgrounds.com/news/post/1323644

That stress can dampen the effects of it.

So I thought I'd dedicate the next phase into having it capable of eliminating physical stress. So I searched far and wide for any juice, supplement or powder that could help relieve physical stress. It wasn't until a couple of days ago I found it. Blueberries. Blueberries among most things can not only reduce stress, but reduce the chemical aftermath of stress known as Cortisol.

So the simple solution would be to buy 100% Blueberry Juice as well as 100% Pomegranate Juice. However when I was going to a grocery store I ended up hopefully killing 2 birds with one stone. How? By finding this:

Which not only is Blueberry and Pomegranate it's got blackberry, cranberry, grape, lemon and apple. All of which have additional health benefits that even I don't know about yet.

I won't go off like a broken record on how to make the tea and chlorophyll so if you want to see how it's made click on the first link. I've made it so it can rabbit hole it's way back to the first article on this.

Anywho. After pouring one exact cup into this it looked like this:

Now it's hard to see, but due to the colour of the juice contrasting with the green of the Chlorophyll and the golden brown of the white tea, there's a more purple hue to this. Almost indigo. A sign maybe that this is the essence of CIEIRMusic's S.T. Musician? Who knows.

Right now as I write this article the drink is currently in the fridge. I will update on this like usual. And fuck it. I'm calling it a potion from now on.

Update Saturday January 14th, 2023. 5:43 AM

I poured my first glass of the stuff as seem here:

While hard to see on the photo, what I thought was purple was actually a dark pink or red. Not sure how that happened, but there doesn't seem to be a single trace of green from the Chlorophyll or golden brown from the white tea. Upon taking my first sip, I noticed that it tastes, kinda sweet. Which is to be expected since Oasis said "No Sugar Added." meaning the sweetness is the natural sweetness from the fruit the juice is made of. However other than that it feels like I'm drinking water. Almost no other taste whatsoever. So on top of adding to this already beautiful potion, it seems to mask any flavours of the tea and the chlorophyll. To make a comparison, while Chlorophyll is usually tasteless, if you put too much in say water, it would taste like you're drinking fresh cut grass, which would be unsettling to most people. So the fact that on top of potential health benefits the juice can actually make it taste better, is a welcome accident.

Update 6:44 AM

This was unexpected. I kept smoking for a bit to see if the smoke detox thing was a fluke or not, but within an hour of me drinking this stuff, my cravings for cigarettes became almost non-existent. Not so much a 100% quit, but I feel like I need a cigarette lesser than the last time this stuff worked on me. Not sure if it's the tea, the chlorophyll or the berry juice, but whatever it is, it fucking works.

Update Sunday January 15 2023:

After a few glasses periodically, I've noticed the usual stuff, my cravings reduced, my body slowly being cleaned out and the energy boost it's given me. Then I noticed something else. I've been very calm. I mean more calmer than usual. Things bug me less now. I think this may be it.

Now I've covered the aspects I wanted to cover with this drink. So I'll consider this a successful concoction. That means I can simply get a bigger container so I can have more. I would like you all whom have followed me through this to try it out for yourself. Or even better suggest some other health aspects I could try to cover. Or even better try to come up with potions of your own.
