Special thanks to @Sharky321 for being the 150th.

If this were Pokemon I'd be a Mew away from being the Kanto Master.

I know not everyone here, on the net or god forbid the real world outside, is religious, hell I'm Pagan/Wiccan and this baffled me at first. However I can't deny it any longer. Over the years I've spat in the face of anyone who would ever mention this, so what I am about to say may come across as hypocritical. However it needs to be said.

There have been many many times since before even my own lifetime, that people have talked about The End of The World in various ways. Y2K and the Mayan Calendar way being the most prominent.

However even when people were in a gross panic about it, I always laughed it off, because I've been through many of these days and so far aside from some changes to what was considered the Status Quo as well as some environmental damage, nothing really came to an abrupt end.

However ever since the 2020s first started, we've encountered problems that put us on the brink. However, what if these problems, while bad were the fucking signs?

1. You have the Covid-19 Pandemic. Which is Pestilence.
2. The impact caused by Covid-19 and The Ukraine-Russian Conflict has caused inflation to skyrocket all over the world. Costing everyone around it more money just to eat let alone, fucking live. So famine.
3. The Ukraine-Russia Conflict, causing everyone on all sides to be up in arms and prepare for at best Cold War 2 and at worst World War III. So War.
4. And everyone is dying from it as the result of the 3 above. So Death.

For those that don't know what I'm talking about. I'm referring to the Four Horseman of the Apocolypse. Each Horseman representing an aspect of the world that may cripple or kill it one day, but if all 4 are at play, then needless to say as a whole, the world is fucked. That's right. I wholeheartedly believe that this may be the End of The World as we know it.

Now before some of you panic and others start going at me claiming "You're crazy." hear me out on this. Despite the depressing nature of what I just said, there is actually a bit of optimism too. Many stories, from the Bible to the Torah, have often had their own interpretation of the End of The World. I even once wanted to make it a hobby to collect religious texts from all religions to see what would differ from one and other and what would be the same. Including but not limited to their interpretations of it. However I couldn't do so, because the text itself is expensive as Hell. I'm not kidding. The entire Roman Ritual Trilogy is over $100. And that's just covering a small fraction of Catholicism.

However, the main realization is this. The one thing they all have in common, is that they only tell how they think the world will end. Not once saying what happens after. Now I know what you're thinking. "No shit, because it's over after. There's nothing left." Hahaha, fuck you. Notice what they said specifically. The end of The World. As in our world as in Planet Earth. They never said the universe. Granted so far it's because we seem to be the only life out there that can walk and talk. However, I think there's more than that. I remember once talking to a Jehova's Witness, years back and he once told me that the End of The World doesn't necessarily mean, that everyone dies or gets raptured or anything like that. But rather the end of modern civilization as we know it. throughout the past Millenium, regardless of how much we advanced technologically, no matter how many times we changed what was considered the status quo at the time and god forbid what no matter what we do to reduce our carbon footprint, we never really changed as a civilization at all. We still believe that cash is the way to stay alive, we still have an unequal society due to both bigotry and certain slacktivists who prefer to keep the fight going because should they win, they'd have no purpose in life anymore and to top it off, we still strive to one-up each other. No matter how much people say the world has changed, that times have changed and that we are better off than what we were before, I don't believe it, because as a wise anti-hero once said "The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same."

What if what we thought the End of The World is gonna be, is merely just a huge change that we're not all ready for?

A change that will cost a lot of pain, suffering and most importantly lives, but in the end regardless of how bad it is now, things are gonna get better afterwards for the world and the human race as a whole. Maybe this is God or Nature or The Planet telling us "You guys have been pushing me around in an attempt to push each other around and I'm sick of it. Either stop everything your doing and get your act together, or I'll fucking kill you right now." I'm not kidding. Because throughout the past 2 years, natural disasters have begun to be more frequent. Floods, Tornadoes, Earthquakes, Forest Fires. If there was any sort of proof that the planet is not only sentient, but pissed off at us right now, this is it.

But hey, I could be wrong. Even if I'm right though, this message will most likely be ignored anyway, because despite us claiming to want change or want to change, we never did, because we thought it would strip us of our individual rights as human beings. That's a bunch of bullshit. The fact of the matter is the rich are used to being on top that the money that could have helped the rest of the world is just being spent on another section of their city sized mansions. The poor are so used to people giving them hand-outs that any leg up would always be rejected under the excuse of pride. They'd rather die poor, than live without a voice anymore. As for everyone in the middle, we are so used to being convinced that if we didn't keep working we'd either die poor or not get as big as the rich people.

Point being is that the reason why this world is ending is because of us. WE ARE THE ONE'S RUINING IT!!! We let the virus spread. We let Putin push Ukraine around until it became unbearable to watch. We waste our time trying to pass the problem on to someone else, but when all the passovers happen, there is no one else but you.

We have the power to destroy this world, so naturally we have the power to save it. SO SAVE IT!!! Change right now or else the end of the world really will be the end of the fucking world.

Glockenvaltz

Thought I'd celebrate this right for once since I practically skimped on my 100th audio. I felt the 200th would be the time to do something really meaningful. But rather than do something new, I decided to go back to my past and present the first ever CIEIRMusic. The first song, the first logo, the first album cover art. This was the thing that started CIEIRMusic as you see it today. Even my style hasn't changed over the years. Making wordless stories with music.

This was made 4 years ago last January. It started out as a tribute to Classical Music, but evolved into a wordless story. In this case, it takes place in a world where Instruments are sentient beings, where the Piano is God of All and everyone is it's subjects. One specific couple, a pair of Glockenspiels have fallen completely in love with each other and dance the night away in the Piano's natural beat. However their romance is under the eyes of an Envious Violin, who's jealous of the Piano's favour over them. So it seeks to reclaim that praise by offing the competition. However as more people find out about the nefarious deed, Violin will do anything to keep his dirty secret safe. To the point where the piano itself has to step in and deal with the murderer itself.

Part of why I didn't upload this, was because it was on an older computer of mine, which has since been fried beyond repair. I didn't think there were any copies elsewhere save for my tablet. Also broken. However by some miracle, it ended up on my computer here. So I figure why waste an opportunity. You can see the first song here:

The song and album that comes with it, also spawned a sequel album called Glockenvaltz 2: Organ Hell.

Glockenvaltz 2: Organ Hell

Which I recommend you also listen to.

I await judgment of this good and bad, mainly because I want to see how my oldest works compares to what I have shown you here so far.

In the spirit of the holiday, S.T. Musician and Light Harmony went hunting for Leprechauns. When they caught one, they asked for his Pot of Gold. He said no. So they took him out...for a pint of Green Beer for refusing politely.

It's been days since S.T. and Light Harmony were contacted by Divide.

S.T.: Bad news is we can only do so much over there, if not for those two, we could have done much more.

Light: Well I don't think our plans have failed, I think we just picked the wrong target is all.

Harmony: Ukraine will make it, we just gotta have faith the rest of the world is there to help them out. Whether it's teaching them how to fight back or helping fleeing people find a safe place to live.

Light: Harmony's right. Our main focus should be who they can't go up against and that's Dark fucking Divide. Psych Warfare is the way to go, they are extremely vain and even the slightest insult would set them off.

S.T.: Hmmm. It's a long shot but I have an idea.

S.T. Takes out a USB drive it has their insignia on it.

S.T.: I stole it off Dark during our drinking game. I looked it over and it's a song they were gonna publish. They were gonna try to beat us at our own game by creating their own "Lesson work." Only while we teach them stuff they'll need to know, this one teaches people how to be the worst of themselves. If we can publish it before they can, we will have copyrighted their name. To the listening world, this is part of some lore, but to them, we stole their shit and they're gonna want it back.

Light: Amazing. So you're basically gonna Stetson Kennedy them.

S.T.: Exactly.

Harmony: As much as I hate them, I am quite curious how they are. Do you think we could listen.

S.T.: This is a rough copy so they haven't put anything in it that would hypnotize the listener. It shouldn't hurt.

One Listen Later:

Light: That was horrifying.

Harmony: Anyone that would heed their words would have to be a special kind of psychopath.

S.T.: We fought killers, thieves, rapists and terrorists yet this scares me more.

Harmony: WHAT THE FUCK DID SHE JUST CALL ME!?

S.T.: Easy Harmony, she's just deluded.

Light: Leave her be, S.T. I got this. Harmony? Go to the gym and take it out on the heavy bag.

Harmony: Can I put a picture of her face on it?

Light: Yes.

Harmony: Ok.

Harmony leaves, sounds of heavy punches and screaming can be heard.

Harmony: FUCKING BITCH!!! CALL ME A SLUT!!!? SHE'S THE ONE THAT TRIED TO JUMP HIM!!!

Harmony comes back, her hair all frizzled.

Harmony: I feel much better now.

Light: Believe me, if you didn't do that I would have.

S.T.: Remind me not to piss you off.

Harmony: Oh you could never do that S.T.

Light: Harmony!!

Harmony: I know, I know. I'm working on it. So we post this thing and any time they do a song they'd have to pay us.

S.T.: Yep, although they established themselves with that name, they never patented it. Even orginizations like The Hell's Angels did the smart thing and copyrighted their name.

Light: I see. Well let's do it. I just wish I could see the looks on their faces.

A few Hours Later, in the Office of Vladimir Putin.

Divide: I'm telling you, as long as people post shit on the internet, you're always gonna have the drop on them.

Her phone rings.

Divide: CIEIRMusic has posted a new song on Newgrounds.

Dark: So what else is new.....wait a minute. That's our song. HOW THE FUCK DID HE GET THAT!!!

Divide: I told you to wear something without pockets, he's great at pick pocketing.

Dark: I'LL FUCKING KILL HIM!!!!!

Divide: Goddammit. Mr. President, I have to go put him on a leash, we may be out of Russia for a while.

Putin: Where do you think you're going? I can't do this without you, I can't make decisions on my own. I'm the fucking president.

Divide: I'm sorry, did you just demand we stay? What part of our contract states we work for you, that we take orders from you. We go where we want to go, cause chaos where we want to cause chaos, you are a fucking tool to us. We only help you because we want those diseases wiped off the Earth. You had no qualms blowing the roof off an apartment building, yet letting us leave is where you draw the line? Mr. President, let's make things clear. We are the embodiment of all that is wrong in the world. Our ancestors before us were interbred with the fucking Devil himself. Our goal is ltierally to take this planet, kill as much as we can and let the rest run amok in anarchy and chaos. The likes of which you never seen. Why? Because that's the way the world is supposed to work. We are supposed to consume, annihilate and destroy everything until there is nothing left. Rather than the wrong way, such as building better and brighter futures for future generations. And there is nothing or no one that can stop us. None of the nukes in your arsenal can scratch us let alone injure or kill you. Your goals are as small as your non-existent dick. If we wanted to, we could kill you and rape your corpse in front of St. Petersburg for your staff and civilians to see. So which will it be, you try to make us stay or you let us deal with this major problem compared to you and we can get back into business quicker.

Putin: You people are fucking insane.

Dark: Look who's talking. You invaded a country smaller than you and you insist they're the bad guys. We're pure evil, but we're not as insanely stupid as you. We at least know what we're doing. You're doing this out of isolution induced psychosis and some nostalgia for a blue balled war. So you sit down, shut up in both languages and let us do what we're good at.

Divide: Let's go Dark, I think we made him piss himself.

Putin: And here I thought hiring them would make things go faster.

Back at CIEIRMusic.

S.T.: Ok and it's published. Harmony, close the religious centre for the night, I get the feeling they're gonna be coming here right away.

The Island of The Severed Hand

Seems the number 7 has entered my life on this one. For starters the painting this album is based off is my 7th Canvas painting. There's a 7 on two parts of the top of my profile, there are 7 songs in this album, I get featured in the Tank Tribune once again, just as I'm making the 7th song and to top it off, St. Patrick's Day, is on the 17th. Just 3 days away from when this article was written.

Like usual this comes with a free digital copy of the painting. Maybe 7 is a lucky number after all.

As most of you know I managed to get on the Tank Tribune before:

https://thetanktribune.newgrounds.com/news/post/1202116

Last August I was featured here specifically:

The Phonograph section. Not only did I feel honoured then I still feel honoured now that at the time this song was good enough to be featured there:

I didn't think I'd be featured on there more than once. That is until this arrived at my notification:

https://thetanktribune.newgrounds.com/news/post/1256032

I initially thought I was on the Phonograph again, but I found myself on something better:

I couldn't believe my eyes at first, but here I am. For my recent album being available on Bandcamp no less.

First off I'd like to thank @TheTankTribune, for featuring me on here.

I'd also like to thank @The-Great-One for not only reviewing my previous work, but writing such an engaging post.

I'd like to give a big shout out those that made it on the Phonograph. You've earned it.

Finally I'd like to thank my fans, in all sincerity I wouldn't have gone this far without you.

In the spirit of this thing I decided to make a corkboard with these two articles.:

Hopefully I may go for the hat trick.

Last time I did a piece on this I practically pleaded for Putin to find some humanity left in him to stop this onslaught. It wasn't until recently I realized this man is not a human being.

Just an hour or so ago, I watched a news post on CP24. In which Kyiv, the very capital of Ukraine got attacked by airstrikes and tank assault. I specifically watched footage, of a tank firing shells at residential buildings. In a war strategy I would get why one would attack the capital, but only to take out weapons and vehicles. These people on Putin's orders sought to blow up buildings full of civilians along the way. His army. No his gang, locks down an entire block. Massacres and entire quadrant of men, women and children, just to take out the capital. Sound like overkill to you?

A few days ago I was alerted, that there were bots on this site trying to justify the attack on them. I knew about this already since they bombarded youtube trying to paint Putin as some kind of hero.

When I did my psychological warfare posts, I did so under the assumption that like many politicians, Putin would monitor the internet for any weaknesses of other countries as well as anyone outside of Russia talking shit about him. So naturally knowing that he's watching even as I type this, I started throwing personal insults at him through art. All of which can be seen here:

https://www.newgrounds.com/playlists/view/2a40e4ffd592fa640518902a4417ffc6

I mostly was trying to do all I can to make him lose face in front of his people. The guy has the kind of character where he doesn't take personal insults lightly from random nobodies like myself, whom he considers superior over.

I take it back, he's more than just a bully. He's a dickless, child killing monster and he deserves to fucking die.

What I am about to say, is dead serious and I really hope all of you are paying attention. My quarrel is not with the Russian Protestors or the ordinary citizens. My hatred is strictly at Putin, his Death Squad and all the heartless assholes I know are gonna come flying in justifying what he just did. If any one of you are among my fans, I suggest you unfollow me right fucking now I mean it. This is not a joke. This is serious. Life and Death.

If any one of you comes to my post justifying the slaughter of civilians, especially children, you are on my shit list for life. That extends to well after this war ends. This is not a fucking game. This is not some first world bullshit. This is a fucking war and it should be treated as such.

To those that stuck with me all this time, you are the bravest people I've ever known and I suggest you do what it takes to throw this bastard off his game. Know anyone in the military? Have them sign up for whatever offensives come up. Know anyone that can help get the civilians out quicker? And if there is anyone in Russia that can get close to Putin, don't just protest. Molotov his dickless ass. Because enough is enough. This thing ends with either him behind bars or 6 feet under IN A FUCKING BOX!!!

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

A follow up to these:

After 2 more days of drinking my batches, I come to the conclusion that my most powerful of all Iced Teas is my White Tea/Green Tea hybrid. So using the prep technique I mentioned in the first article, I bought a 1500 ML Glass Jar and for the teas, placed 3 White and 3 Green tea bags in room temperature water. After waiting for it to steep I put it in the fridge and drank the first cup yesterday morning. Needless to say I got two cups of tea into one. The tea itself is good and the effects are even better. Plus it saves me time to make more now that I got a jar big enough for exactly 6 cups.

I may one day look for the means to turn this tea into the Health Drink I desire.

I was at a food bank, basically piecing the rest of my personal life together and among most things got into a discussion with one of the other patrons there. We were talking about what's been going on regarding Ukraine V Russia and he told me that the whole spectacle of people joining in seems to treat war like Professional Wrestling. By that he meant, pre-fight taunts and things like that. Strangely enough seeing what's been going on and taking part of it myself with my pictures and music, I kind of agree. But that being said, what should have been funny, scared the Hell out of me. Because Stuart Gordon was right again.

Robot Jox

For those who don't know what I mean. I once did an article trying to come up with alternative ways to fighting war. Ways to settle territorial disputes combatively without loss of life. As a result I got inspired by this movie above me. Now when this movie was made it was in the mid 80s. The Cold War was coming to a close and the respective fighters on each side were obvious dead ringers of The Soviet Union and their Comrades vs The United States and their allies. With the Confederation vs The Market respectfully. However while it was made in the mid 80s, it was released in the 90s and bombed hard, because at the time, The Cold War was over and no one was interested in anything related to it anymore. However I believe this B-Movie is due for a comeback, because like other movies beforehand that I've mentioned, I believe this one predicted the future we live in now.

For starters it takes place in a future where things are so bad you can't go outside without wearing masks. Before I watched this movie again, I always wondered how Herbert West would deal with Covid. I had no idea at the time that Combs was in this movie as a spectator. So in a way I got my answer. Nothing but making bets on Robot Fights.

Second, it also takes place in a future where real meat is scarce while artificial meat takes it's place. Sound familiar? It should. What with Beyond Meat and Impossible Meat coming into the forefront.

The third and most important one. As said before The Confederation is a dead ringer for the Soviet Union and The Market is a Dead Ringer for America. As a result of this conflict, they are at each other's throats again along with the rest of us. So needless to say we're a giant robot short of an accurate depiction of a movie predicting the future.

Fourth, also important. The main plot of the movie involves The Confederation and The Market fighting over Alaska, which at the time had an abundance of resources from oil to fresh water. The result of the conflict with Russia has caused a huge ban preventing them from importing or exporting resources. Meaning that sooner or later if this thing goes on their stuff gets depleted. Not only that, but everyone is gonna look to fight them for theirs at one point. Bringing this foll circle.

And Fifth which brings me to this. Despite the fact that Robot Jox is supposed to be an alternative war, it's treated like an international sport. No different than what is going on today.

Most people focus on the A-Listers when it comes to future stuff, but sometimes the B-Movies are no slouch either.
