 i mean, it's unlikely, even given my balls as a pedestrian  amongst an audi cockfight. like, it's one of them that'd get  me, not the bus
 
  but, anyways, i've been all "oh, um, i should get some  albums together" and i took some time to organize my  bookshelf as i gradually found my copy of "mastering audio"  by bob katz and three weeks later... oh, hell, i'm going to  the doctor soon for first time in ages because... well, i  think i know what's going on, i just need confirmation,  but... maybe there's something else too... who knows. that,  fuck it, mark bell went out of "complications from surgery"  and i'm just thinking what a right mess it'd be if i did  proverbially get hit by a bus: just things like, if you  stack the dominos, no one will probably even realize i have  a paypal account with some money in it, because they won't  be able to get into my bespoke email crap, and... hell, i'm  just going to upload some albums fuck mastering
 
  that maybe i should just thread it, or stagger them to not  exhaust people and maximize my audience penetration, but  really, we're maybe 1/4 thru what i recorded last year or  two; buckle up
 
  then there's the hundreds of tracks from 06-10. about a  month's worth -- sheer hours -- of DJing. also riced out  yugo, about a phone book's worth of drawings, thousands of  photos... what should i do with it all?
 
  i can't imagine i'm the only one to have this moment

My dad got hit by a double decker bus when he was 12, he had  to spend two years in hospital getting skin grafts and  stuff, lucky to survive really, one of his legs looked like  a gnarled tree trunk

practically thinking, you could scan and upload everything EVERYTHING YOU MAKE, recorded etc.. to the cloud and leave  the pass for others to post in a case of sudden death.  friends and followers might wanna peek into the creative  mind of yours.

i am technically capable of, like, a dead man's switch:  like, just upload all my shit if i don't poke it within a  month. the only reason i don't is because i'm a fucking  space cadet and i'd just forget about it and it'd upload it  all and i'm still here and i'd be like fuck, shit

mostly i think this is normal human. that, so far, the  doctors have stalled again, so i have a bit more time before  i find out if there's anything deeply wrong with me (other  than what we already knew [and i suspect the answer is no, i  have a thing to deal with but i'm not about to die {but then  it does trigger a moment to think about that <and i think  this is actually pretty normal human here [someone said "is  this a red flag" essentially, referring to suicide, and i'm  like -- no, you wanker, i don't want to die, i'm just  contemplating the logistics if i were to]>}])

maybe there is a sane path to a dead man's switch, that does  not involve me remembering to poke it every so often: you  can subscribe to some API to run a soft credit check, and if  either a) the credit check says i'm dead, or b) the API call  fails for > 3 months [of sending screaming alerts to me]  then yes i'm probably done for upload it

this is eventually true no matter what you do, I mean what  if our planet got hit by a bus? it's unlikely but given the  amount of time we are dealing with its bound to happen in a  way or another. it's all gone like tears in the rain already

"what if i got hit by a bus?" "maximize my audience penetration"  "upload all my shit"
  NO ONE GIVES A FUCK. 
  and that is a fact. you may or may not make decent music,  but in this day and age NO ONE GIVES A FUCK. if you lived in  the 90s and was some sort of pioneer someone MIGHT GIVE A  FUCK. 
 
  (yes, everyone gives a fuck about what i do too)

LAZY_TITLE ~ just listen to this; the whole album. it  all fits together very well, it has a coherent theme, and it  is stuffed with wordless jokes. that, it's fun? and it was  better than doing nothing
 
  that i suppose you're also misoverestimating my ambitions.  once i was naive enough to think, "maybe i could make some  money off this," but that was a long time ago. even longer  before that, like 16, i thought about being famous. do i  want to be famous? and i concluded: no, i'd rather not,  being flagged down by randos every time i went to stop and  shop, that would drive me up the wall
 
  then, well, ok, what is it then? well, i just like making  things; that's the bedrock. but if it goes anywhere, i guess  i'd just like the respect of people i respect, something  like what trent reznor said about your heroes actually  returning your phone calls
 
  but even there, i'm not stressing it, i just hope people  here appreciate it, i actually haven't bothered to link it  anywhere else except DM to specific peoples
