Zaneshift

Allow me to explain my alias, if you will. The first time I played a computer game, it asked me to pick a name. After far too much thinking for a six year old (or however old I was), I eventually came up with "Sankoz". I don't remember the crazed nonsense that must have led to that choice, but that's what I used for some time. Of course, the name hardly made any sense considering that it was essentially random, so I eventually decided to change it. I figured I'd just rearrange letters to see what worked, and eventually I ended up with the syllable "zan". I hadn't figured out a name completely, but I liked the look of the sequence, so I experimented with that for a while. I ended up with "Zane", and I've come to think of it as so much a name as my own. The "shift" is derived from two areas. Firstly, it's my favorite key on the keyboard (screw caps lock). Second, it indicates change, and I'm always looking to better myself as of late, which makes the name quite fitting. I sometimes use "Zantum" (one of the names I ended up with before I settled on "Zane") or "Wyhdis" (which I use for random things like the Tumblr URL), but for the most part I prefer to be called "Zane" or simply by my given name. A long story, that I'm sure wasted a lot of time to read... success! Jokes aside, "Zaneshift" is also my gamertag on Xbox Live, which is also completely irrelevant.

After hearing this song, I actually started to learn some piano (which is going well, but I can’t be bothered with sheet music). I find myself listening to it whenever I’m bored; it’s just so damn catchy and full of energy. Probably one of my favorite songs, which is funny to me considering how little I care about the whole music culture nonsense that’s developed. If it sounds cool or if it’s nostalgic or such, then I like it, simple enough.

Knowledge is power.
Power corrupts.
Study hard.
Be evil.

Oh, right, I have one of these…

Well then, guess I should start using it… O_O”

I must have the attention span of a deaf gerbil… wait, what?

People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it’s true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
