Would anyone like to share their favorite quotes about atheists/atheism?

June 8th, 2010

I’d like it if you guys at R&S would post some witty quotes about why atheism is cool or share ones you agree with. Those of you who want to share religious quotes or Bible verses, please, earn your two points from some other question. I don’t post anti-religious songs when you ask about Christian music, for example, so kindly refrain from posting any religious quotes or anti-atheism quotes. Thanks in advance.

if career as musician is really hard to make money, then why so many people still want to be a musician?

March 26th, 2010

I’ve just talked with a friend of mine, he had just started to pursue a Solo carer , because he loves music very much, just like me, but unfortunately, and rather sadly, just this afternoon, he poured all his heart that , as I quoted from him, "being musician in indonesia is just f*ckin hard & doesn’t make sense! it’s just so dirty often, and hard to get recognized, and with piracy running rampant, greedy labels, very low purchasing-power from still-poor people in the mainstream, etc etc" , and he’s even thinking of just concentrating in the business-aspect , not the artistic-side anymore in the music "industry". He’s planning to just start a label & draw new artists,….instead of following his TRUE passion to become a full-time musician!

so then, i start asking myself this: if career as musician is really hard to make money, then why so many people still want to be a musician ??
why? what do you think?
do you think these people (musicians) are probably just ‘naive’ people who don’t know that it’s a cruel cruel world in a music, no, actually, music-business world. ‘cuz often there’re more to it than only making good & creative tunes. this i’ve unfortunately & pitifully learned at least in my corrupt country, Indonesia, where sadly, music is just another corrupt tool. and that’s why no wonder a lot of musicians/bands are just poor, & even some really great/talented ones is lacking so much appreciations from mainstream people, instead, many people generally only prefer for ’stupid’ songs/music as long with good looks, and many other artificial/fake things!
and i’m sure the situation is no different even in advanced countries like U.S, Europe, Japan, etc. blatantly-and-honestly speaking, many people are just plain stupid, don’t understand ‘good music’ from ‘bad music’ , and most big-players in the so-called "music-business" are all crooked and greedy, all they think is only money, not enhancing/supporting their artists/bands!!
and plus, there’re just soo many, and damn many competitions in this arena, it’s like every week, there are like ten or even twenty bands being born (or more??) !

with all of these sad things above, i’ve recently often wondered & kept wondering, is there still any point for any person, no matter how talented or even multi-talented or passionate he/she is at music, to pursue career as a musician (and espcially, FULL-time musician) ?
are they just out of their mind?
but the Reality seems to speak differently: there are surprisingly an increasing amount of musicians (ie: bands, usually "indie" bands)!
why is this? what is the reasons for they kept wanting to be a musician?

Dear R&S, a note of appreciation?

March 25th, 2010

(There’s a question below, I promise.)

I just want you folks to know that I appreciate you: believer, nonbeliever, fundie, agnostic, wicca, atheist, militant atheist – all of you guys and gals.

I just made a foray into Politics and it scared the pants off me and sent me flying back to R&S. No matter how bad it gets here, no matter what silliness or insanity occurs, there is just no comparison.

Thanks for the diversions from many boring work days, humor and occasional serious debate.

Who else feels that this is the best place to be on YA? And can you now see at least one reason why an atheist might hang out here sometimes? It’s just more fun and less frightening, surprisingly.

Cheesy, I know – but that’s how venturing else where made me feel.

Advertising/Marketing/Promotional Ideas for a Day Spa with Massages Facials & Waxings?

March 25th, 2010

I’m a ’spa coordinator" at a amazing Day Spa in Orange County CA, but besides my receptionist duties, I’m also helping out (as much as I can) with any promotional ideas, marketing, & a little advertising.

We already do a lot of different things but I’d love to hear what specific techniques, or ideas would make you or anyone come back to a spa.

What are you looking for? What would be the cherry on top that really made the sunday (so to speak lol)

Here’s what we have already…
- a website inessencedayspa.com
- we send out flyers with promotional prices
- we send monthly emails with different deals
- we have 30min free GC we give away to clients, businesses, and homes
- "new guest specials" (discounted services for 1st-timers)
- a rewards cards where you refer people, write a review online, sign up for the membership, etc & recieve a certain number of pts for each thing & ultimately get a free hour massage or facial
- last but not least we have above average customer appreciation and service. we always put our clients first (which is the most important in my oppinion)

….but somehow we’re still not reaching our goals

I’d love some ideas of more specific things; maybe what someone you go to does to make you want to return! Or a spa that did something different & suprising in a good way…
