It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been putting a lot more time into my Youtube channel and Twitter stream. I’m trying to get everything a little more integrated. I’m still trying to figure out what role SpiritfX.com is going to play in all this. I’ve thought about retiring this site for a while now, but every time I start to move forward, I get a gut feeling that I need to hold on to it.
Anyway, I’m trying to build support for my social networking pages. I’m going to be doing some controversial stuff on Youtube in the near future. It will most certainly offend a lot of people, especially religious people, but I can’t help that. I have to be who and what I am. No more hiding, no more posing.
If you haven’t connected with me on the social networks, please do so. It will be entertaining, for sure.

After reflecting a little bit about the recent “boycott” of YouTube, that I was foolish enough to participate in, I have come to the conclusion that it was impotent and thus completely pointless.
In response to the “blackout,” YouTube has changed nothing, and really why should they. After all, we told them we would all (the minute percentage that actually took part in it) be back in a couple of days. I can almost see the higher ups of the Google echelon giggling in amusement at our weak attempt at sending them a message.
What the hell were we thinking? This wasn’t a boycott. If we wanted to do a true boycott, we would have slammed our reasonable demands down on the desk of the corporate pimps at Google, pulled all our videos, and not come back until every single one of our demands were met! This is how you do a boycott. It is the only way to get results, and anything short of this is a complete waste of time.
With this revelation in mind, I really don’t think it is possible to stop YouTube from descending into the abyss of censorship and fascism. The vast majority of YouTube users don’t give a rat’s ass about any of this. They are there for amusement, not expression. And without the participation of a majority of users, even a true boycott is ultimately futile.

As of today, SpiritfX will be exclusively using the K2 theme for Wordpress. K2 is the most advanced front end for the Wordpress blogging system that I have seen to date. It has much better support for the plugins I need to make this site work. Not to mention, it’s marvelous use of Ajax to display archives, searches, and commenting without having to reload the page.
Besides all the added functionality, I think K2 gives this site a much better look and feel that the previous themes that I’ve used. I’m probably going to stick with this one for a while. I hope you all like it. Let me know.
Yours Naturally,

I’ve been out of this game for a long time. A lot has changed since the last time SpiritfX was alive on the Internet. I’ve learned a lot, about myself, and the world around me. I have delved deep into the dark abyss of the occult forces that control our nation, and the world for that matter. I have sat idly by and watched multitudes of preborn children being carried by their own mothers into the killing centers. I have watched the world around me dissolve into endless war. The one truth that I keep coming back to, and am now more convinced than ever… Jesus Christ is Lord, and He is our only hope!
I started this little web site six years ago, in 2001. It was pretty crude at first (and really, still is). It’s purpose has drifted from anti-abortion activism, to Christian ministry, to amateur web and graphic design, and now to this… a web log. But what exactly is a “web log,” you ask? Well, a web log or a “blog” as it is commonly called is simply a voice, and this blog is my voice. It is my voice to you. You are my reader, and it is my desire to impart to you the things that I have learned, what I believe… all that I am.
I’m just getting this thing rolling, so I still have a few tech issues to iron out, but I will be getting down to some serious blogging real soon. For now, feel free to have a look at the About page, since it’s the only thing that’s finished. It will give you an idea of what this site is all about. And by all means, subscribe to my RSS feed. It is an awesome tool for keeping up with everything.
Thank you for being my reader. You won’t regret it. Until next time.
