    There was once a wizard named Dill. He was a curious wizard who was always looking for new ways to expand his magical powers. One day, he came across a mysterious website called EmuParadise that promised to allow him to download the entire universe into his computer.

    Dill was skeptical at first, but his curiosity got the best of him, and he decided to give it a try. He clicked the download button, and suddenly, his computer screen was filled with a blinding light. When the light faded, Dill found himself standing in the center of a vast, swirling vortex.

    As he looked around, he realized that he had downloaded the entire universe into his computer. He was amazed by the sheer scale and complexity of everything around him. He saw galaxies swirling in the distance, stars being born and dying, and planets orbiting their suns.

    But Dill soon realized that he had made a mistake. He had downloaded the entire universe into his computer, but he had no way of controlling it. The universe was too big and too complex for him to handle. He tried to delete the download, but it was too late. The universe was already inside his computer, and he could not get rid of it.

    Dill became overwhelmed by the vastness of the universe inside his computer. He tried to use his magic to control it, but it was no use. The universe was too big for him to handle. He realized that he had made a grave mistake, and he wished that he could go back in time and undo what he had done.

    After many sleepless nights, Dill finally came up with a solution. He realized that he could not control the universe, but he could use it to help others. He created a program that allowed people to explore the universe from the safety of their own homes. He shared his creation with the world, and people were amazed by what they saw.

    Dill had learned a valuable lesson. He realized that his curiosity could lead him down dangerous paths, but it could also lead him to great discoveries. He had downloaded the universe, but he had also found a way to share it with the world. And that, he knew, was the greatest magic of all.

    "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." ~ Arthur C. Clarke



    I was feeling hungry, my stomach was growling aloud,
    But I had no food, and I felt lost in the crowd,
    Then someone came to me, with a grin so bright,
    And said, "I've uploaded a sandwich, for your delight!"

    I was amazed, I had never heard of such a thing,
    But my hunger was real, last words I was ready to sing,
    The sandwich appeared, on my screen in a flash,
    And I couldn't believe it, it was better than cash!

    As I took a bite, I couldn't help but smile
    The sandwich was perfect, it had been worth the while
    To have someone upload it, just for me
    It was a sandwich, but it felt like a luxury

    So if you're ever hungry, and have no food to eat
    Just remember this story, and don't skip a beat
    Someone might upload a sandwich, just for you
    And you'll be able to eat, without feeling blue

    @Grouch

    You understand me and what the hell I'm saying that few people do.



    Transcendence is a concept so grand
    A state of being we can't understand
    It's a place beyond our mortal realm
    A state of consciousness that overwhelms

    In science, we seek to understand
    The mysteries of life, the universe at hand
    But some things are beyond our reach
    A state of transcendence that's hard to teach

    For it's a place beyond the physical world
    A place where the mind becomes unfurled
    And the boundaries of space and time
    Are transcended, in a state so sublime

    So let us ponder this concept of transcendence
    And seek to understand its true essence
    For it's a state of being that's so profound
    A place where the soirit can truly be unbound.

    While it's true that some keyboard players prefer to read sheet music, it's not a requirement for enjoying and playing the instrument. In fact, many keyboard players use other methods to learn and play music, such as chord charts, tablature, or by ear. If you're interested in learning how to play the keyboard, I would suggest starting with the basics, such as learning the names of the keys, basic hand placement, and simple songs or exercises. From there, you can explore different styles of music and techniques that interest you, and develop your own learning style. If you do decide to learn how to read sheet music, it can certainly be a valuable skill to have, as it opens up a wider range of music to play and can help with communication and collaboration with other musicians. However, it's not a requirement for enjoying and playing the keyboard, and it's perfectly fine to learn and play music in other ways that work for you.

    I was thinking of chord charts but didn't know the name for it. I've dabbled(more like messed around with) with a few instruments mostly while I was house sitting for my aunt and uncle. my aunt has a few instruments an electric guitar a trumpet a trombone a pair of ukuleles and a finger piano(some other things I'm forgetting) so I've messed around with those and a violin in the past. the finger piano was the only thing I could really play a tune on.
    I don't really think I can play by ear and yes I would have to start with the basics. I'm feeling a bit confident about this it'd be nice to have a creative outlet(or at least another one)

    The plus side to that is you could start now while you poke around for a keyboard.

    as I said I was looking at cheap ones on ebay for 1 I can't spend a whole lot on one. 2 I'm only out $20-$30 if I lose interest or can't cut it.
    I didn't really understand what that 2nd link was about but I did bookmark the other 2
