Lifestyle change

Jul 16

Hello. I’m jesse. I’m a 16 year old guy from cape town south africa. I’m a magician.
I like bob dylan, pink floyd, led zeppelin, the beatles, oasis etc
I can juggle.
Sometimes I write sonnets.

I don’t like my current lifestyle and want to change it. I’m going to post here so that maybe people can read of my experiences and change their lifestyle if it does not server them. possibly, some of you could keep me in check so i don’t give up on myself… i wouldn’t need anything more than a comment to show you’re there.

I’d encourage you to read these posts because I think I am a good writer (you’ll see this when I get into it a bit more) and I sometimes tell good jokes…

Otherwise, don’t. I guess this is a step in the right direction in my life… which is probably a good thing.

All good things

My love for singing

Jun 17

My love is my mind
My mind is my soul
My soul is my heart
My Heart is singing
I love my singing
It kills me when i cant
I love when i sing
It shows i am only like the rest.
Wrong.
I will never be like the rest
Singing is my life, My passion, My heart.
No.
I am singing.

And singing is me.

Spotify cuts back on free music – Free & Open

Apr 15

Online music service Spotify is halving the amount of free music that users can listen to.

Users of its free service will be limited to 10 hours per month, half the time currently offered and will only be able to listen to tracks five times, from May.

New users will get six months of free content before the changes kick in.

The news has angered fans who accuse the firm of seeking to change its model from free to paid.

This is something denied by Spotify.

Ken Parks, Spotify’s chief content officer told the BBC: “Our chief priority is to keep the free service, which is what has made Spotify so popular.

“We’re a company whose ambition is to offer all the world’s music to everyone which means growing the business and our user base to many times its current size.”

“Everything we do is designed to ensure our users continue to have access to an amazing free experience,” he added.

Last month, the online music service announced that it had one million paying subscribers across Europe.

But the majority of its 6.67m listeners use the free service, which is subsidised by adverts.
So long

Announcing the new plans in its blog the firm said that the changes – which begin on May 1 – would mainly affect heavier users.

Spotify and the record labels are locked in a marriage that neither seems to be enjoying”

“Most of you use Spotify to discover music – on average over 50 new tracks per month, even after a year,” it said.

“For anyone who thinks they might reach these limits, we hope you’ll consider checking out our Unlimited and Premium services.”

Experts have said that Spotify’s long-term profitability depends on users switching to the premium services that remove adverts and allow listeners to use smartphones.

“The economics of ad-supported music services just don’t add up and Spotify can’t survive long-term while it haemorrhages money from its free service,” said Mark Mulligan, an analyst with Forrester Research.

One of the big issues for services such as Spotify is the fees demanded by the music industry – which work out at around 1p per play, according to Mr Mulligan.

“The record labels don’t like having a permanent free service around, it is like sleeping with the enemy.

“But too many people expect music to be free now and if there are no legitimate free services it will drive them back to the illegal sector,” he warned.

The first response on Spotify’s blog read: “So long Spotify. It was nice knowing you. Guess I’ll go back to pirating music again then.”

Looks like Spotify will loose many users over this, and many of them threatening to go back to pirating! There are plenty of comments on the Spotify blog along the lines of this: “Well, that’s it. Too bad that a service who got all their users on being free now tries to force their users to pay.”

However, it seems there may be ulterior forces at work. According to an article in the Independent, pressure from record labels has forced the streaming music service to make the move. Looks like Spotify has ditched the loyal users who have been with them from the start to be able to launch in the USA. Maybe it will back fire on them?

My 2nd Post.

Mar 14

Didn’t think anyone cared to listen, but it seems I may have been wrong. If I am wrong about being wrong then no worries. I write to get it out of my system. So here is what is new. After a three week ”break” so to say, me and boyfriend are back together. I don’t trust him so much any more, and we have progressively started to argue more. So not healthy. Saturday is our 8 month, I guess you could say, and his birthday is two days before hand. I’m doing something a little special. I want to show him I care. I got an ediblearrangement and his favorite candy, and a couple other things to pull it all together. But enough about my love life. I don’t like hearing about other peoples so why would you like to hear about mine? Point made. I take my ACT next Tuesday, so wish me luck. I need it. I’ve never been the brightest, but I’m surely not dumb. I just know the stuff normal people don’t care to know. Like the most efficent way to kill a zombie. *Joke*. But really, i’d say school wise I’m about average. Bish and Aish with that one stubborn C. You know how it is. Ah, the joys of being in school. Again that is a joke. People probably think I’m a serial killer the way I just sit there and do my work or read a book. I am so anti-social. I could be popular if I wanted and I’ve finally come to realize I can have any guy I want. Only problem is I dont want that. Let some other girl have that problem. Because to the next girl it is a dream, to me it’s an effing nighmare. I can’t stand most people. Especially ignorant ones. And you don’t have to be book smart for me to like you, just logical. Wow, I wrote a lot. Congrats to you if you read every word, and even p0inted out the typos I was too lazy to fix. Yes, I know it’s there. haha. Untill next time, keep living, keep loving, keep reading, oh and keep your pegasus clean. peace and love.
