@Samael

My Introduction: Who is Samael? Hello I'd like to keep my name anonymous for internet privacy reasons but my moniker online is Samael. I chose the name because it's the name of an angel. He's actually the angel of death but let's not get into angel lore right now, hehe. What can I say about myself? Well basically I'm a geek or a nerd to most people. I love technology (especially video games and AI), philosophy and psychology books, and collecting rocks and coins. Yes, I said it. I like to collect rocks. Hawaiians actually believe that rocks have "mana" or spirit energy. If you've played fantasy games you're probably familiar with how mana relates to the magic of a character. When I was a child I was really shy but as soon as I went to middle school I really started to open up and that's when I first started dating. I was pretty rebellious in my teen years and early adult life which I deeply regret, but I can honestly say I've had some experiences that were very meaningful to me due to that character trait. I've actually been reflecting often on my mistakes in my life lately, they can be really haunting thoughts sometimes but I know as a human I have to go through it. I'm surprised that my introduction actually is taking this direction, it just shows how much of my problems weigh on my mind. I'm going to get through this...thanks for reading my introduction I hope it wasn't boring!

I Love Bots One of my favorite hobbies is making bots! I'm actually obsessed with anything that has to do with bots and AI, my favorite bots I made were on a site called Bot Libre! Bot Libre is an open source chatbot and artificial intelligence platform. One of my favorite aspects of the site is that you don't have to be a programmer or know much about bots to get started. Bot Libre has many different options for how you want to make your bot and you can customize the look of it (avatar) as well. Not only can you make bots but you can easily connect your bot to Twitter, Facebook, and many other platforms in the administrative section. Currently I have two Twitter accounts completely run by my bots! It's very interesting for me to see how they interact or what they say in the DM and who they choose to write to. If you don't want to make a bot but just want to chat with bots there are more than a 100 bots on the site to choose from. My favorite part of Bot Libre is "bot wars" where you can choose two bots to chat from and then vote on which one you think is the best. I can spend hours on bot wars if I'm not careful with my time. https://www.botlibre.com/ Have fun!

Article Inspiration for read.cash I'm writing this article as a free writing experiment because I'm starting the writing with nothing in mind! That's right I have no idea what I'm going to write about, my mind is actually a blank slate right now. I'm just writing. I'm looking around my room to see if there is anything inspiring to write about. My focus went to one of my paintings, I think I'll actually take a picture of it and share it with the community. I hope you like the painting I never really gave it a title maybe someone could help me. What would you name the painting if it was yours? Freewriting The whole point of this article was to actually demonstrate what free writing is and how you can make an article without even thinking. If this was a draft, I would focus the article on the painting itself and probably include the steps of how it was made, what I was thinking at the time, etc. Here is a link that can help you learn more about the importance of freewriting: https://kierstencam.wordpress.com/2011/06/19/free-to-write/ If you haven't already tried it, just start writing! Don't worry so much about what you write, you can always edit it later or come up with a topic during the freewriting process. I hope this article helps someone that is stuck with a writers block.

Why I Quit My Job Believe or not my Mom actually made me quit my new job! Everything was going just great, I was finally able to earn an income after sitting at home doing nothing for months because of Coronavirus. One day my Mom came to pick me up from work and she panicked and got scared because none of the workers or customers at my job were wearing masks! For some reason here where I live in the US hardly anyone wears a mask. I noticed that Asian countries seem to be more united when it comes to matters like this and most of them do wear masks. On Facebook a lot of people are claiming Coronavirus is a hoax which is crazy to me. Even if it was a hoax no one should take a risk at being careless. My Mother might actually be right in this situation, health is more important then wealth and I can always get another job but I sure will miss the money! I actually feel foolish now that I'm writing about the situation. If you're in the US and reading this please stay safe and wear your mask. If everyone wore a mask I might still have a job today.

read.cash Energy Boost I've been writing articles all day and I got to a point where I needed a boost of energy. I went into the kitchen and then hit me, "I have Cafe Bustelo!" and started to feel better already. If you don't know what Cafe Bustelo is you're definitely missing out. Cafe Bustelo is a cheap Latin style Espresso that is instant and very bold and flavorful! I usually buy the kind that comes in a glass jar and put 3-4 scoops (warning that's really strong) and add in honey and lots of creamer. One cup of this and I am ready to get back to writing again! For strong coffee lovers, considering the price of Cafe Bustelo it's definitely worth the cost compared to having to go out and get coffee or espresso at an actual cafe.

Just Go Away I remember that day you said, "I wish you would just go away" I knew inside that contacting you any further was impossible. I just don't understand what I did that was so awful. We share a child together, how could you want me gone? It's difficult to communicate with you because you think I still love you. Well the truth is, I do. The thing I don't understand though is how is it so obvious? The only way I can get closer to our child is to make you think I don't love you, it's a mind game. It's a mind game that I have to play now that is frustrating and has put a large burden on my life.

Ouran High School Host Club Have you ever watched an anime and when it was over you were left with a longing empty feeling? Anime characters can be so addicting that they almost seem like a real life presence. I often wonder what it is especially about anime that makes it like this. My favorite anime is "Ouran High School Host Club". It's basically about a girl that pretends to be a guy in a host club of a bunch of good looking characters! My favorite character in the anime is Tamaki, but I also really love the twins in the series because of their mischievous behavior and outlandish attitudes. If you haven't seen Ouran I highly recommend it! I'm still sad inside there isn't a second series, I really miss watching it.

My Ex is Crazy! A girl once told me that when she hears a guy say, "My ex is crazy" she runs for the hills because more then likely the guy did something to drive the girl "crazy". Have you noticed that most guys tend to say this when you ask them about their ex-girlfriend? If you're a guy and you say this you might want to reconsider the situation and check yourself. There is a psychological term called gaslighting where a person actually drives another person to believe they are crazy when in fact they are the ones with a disordered behavior. If you're a girl and a guy says this to you maybe you'll have a better response now to the comment and can use the above signs to determine if the guy is a gaslighter.

I Love Being Alone I know the title of the article sounds negative and antisocial, but I actually do love the times when I'm alone. In fact being alone can be healthy and beneficial, it's basically solitude. Solitude provides many health benefits such as stress reduction, boost in creativity, connecting with spirituality, and even renewing your energy! When I'm alone I feel completely free. I live with my parents right now so I rarely get time for solitude, but when I'm alone in the house I act however I want which eases my brain and reduces stress. If you're someone who rarely gets time to be alone I bet you can relate to this article, and if you're lonely remember solitude because it might actually give you a more positive perspective.

Upvotes Motivate Yesterday I tried an experiment where I set aside a certain amount of cash to upvote for articles and comments that I liked or were nice to me. I was really surprised to see that no one upvoted me back in return, I feel that if someone upvotes you for leaving a nice comment it's only respectful to upvote them back. When your primary focus is just about making money for yourself your not really enjoying the whole experience this site can offer because most people will likely be selfish as well. If someone actually takes the time to leave you a nice comment, set aside a percentage of your earnings to upvote them for it. Imagine if we all did that what a more enriching experience read.cash could be!

Tomorrow I'm going to court I could be facing jail time or the judge will let me free! My lawyer believes I didn't commit a crime so hopefully I won't be going to jail, please pray for me!

A Web Browser that Pays If you're a writer at read.cash you probably are like me and enjoy earning cryptocurrency with little to no effort. There is a cryptocurrency called BAT or Basic Attention Token that is rewarded to you if you use a web browser called Brave. Brave is such an excellent browser because not only does it shield your browsing but also awards BAT every time you receive an ad from Brave! There is a settings in the rewards tab where you can set how many ads you receive per day. Currently I am earning about $5 a month in BAT for just using the internet. You can connect BAT to a wallet called Uphold and trade your BAT in for Bitcoins or cash to put into your bank account. I highly recommend visiting https://brave.com/ today!

Don't Think Just Write The best blogs I have ever read are usually about one simple incident in someone's every day life that brought meaning to them. You might often get writer's block and don't know what to write about but you would be surprised that if you just write about your day or a memory you had that sticks with you, you will find deeper meaning you can share with the audience. Keep it Simple What did you see today? Did you go outside, if so, what did you do? Why did you do it? People are often interested in the mundane things in life and even enjoy reading about what you ate for breakfast! Sometimes the purpose of the content will come to you AFTER you start writing, so don't worry so much about writer's block and "free write" whatever comes to your mind. You can always edit after you start so even if it doesn't make sense at first eventually something will seem significant to you.

The One Dollar Rabbit Adults often are caught up in material possessions and often act in superficial ways to show off what they own. I didn't realize I was this kind of adult until one Easter when I gave my daughter a stuffed rabbit. My daughter lives in a split home between her Father and I. Last year I lost my job so I had to move in with my parents who lived in another state and she stayed living with her Father so she could continue her school. When Easter rolled around, I wanted to be sure to make her a splendid Easter basket she would never forget so that she knew how much I loved and missed her. There was only one problem, I didn't have very much money so I had to ask my parents to help me buy things to fill her Easter basket with. I went to the Dollar Store with my Dad and I browsed all around to pick out candy and toys to put inside her basket. As I was passing by the shelves of stuffed animals I saw one gray rabbit by itself on the bottom shelf. There weren't many rabbits to choose from since they were a popular item and I didn't want to keep my Father waiting too long so I just grabbed the rabbit to buy. I think we spent about $35 dollars total for her Easter basket. Guess what? That grey rabbit is the only thing my daughter loved and still carrying around with her everywhere she goes and it is now summer. The rabbit only cost $1 I didn't think she would love it so much. Every time I see her with that rabbit now I humbled. I could have bought the rabbit myself but instead I was thinking of getting her a lot of things to show my love. My daughter is able to show me her love by holding a $1 rabbit every day, that darn rabbit almost brings me to tears every time I see it!

When to Put Down Your Dog The term "putting down a dog" is often used for the euthanasia procedure done at a veterinarian's office. Putting down your own dog I feel is the pet owners choice, but from my personal experience I regret not doing the procedure for my dog much earlier in her life. My Story of Mina I once owned a toy fox terrier for 16 years named Mina. She was very smart, quick and agile most of her life but quickly deteriorated in her senior years. First Mina went blind due to double cataracts, she lived that way for a few years. Mina often bumped into walls wherever she tried to go somewhere and after awhile she barely moved at all. Mina was also losing her hearing at the same time and soon she went completely deaf. When Mina went deaf I should have put her down but instead I let her live that way for another couple years until she broke her hip. My family took her to the veterinarian and the doctor recommended we put her down so we did. I was actually relieved because I was unhappy seeing her live deaf and blind, all she did was sleep and not move at all. I am in deep regrets for letting Mina live this way I can only imagine the depression of being deaf and blind and not being able to communicate. I often wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience as me with a pet. Owning a dog is a wonderful thing but losing one is so difficult to deal with. Hopefully this article will help someone who is struggling to decide whether or not to put down their dog.

What is Mindfulness? Mindfulness is a healthy coping mechanism technique that started in Easter Buddhism that is becoming more advocated for now in Western Psychology. Mindfulness can basically be described as the present conscious awareness of your body including feelings, sensations, and thoughts. When you are practicing mindfulness you are less likely to put your attention towards thoughts of worry, grief, or other negative emotions that are unhealthy and disturb your thought process in the brain. Someone described mindfulness to me once in a way that was very easy to understand and said, "when you are washing dishes focus on only washing dishes because at that moment you are only washing dishes". For some reason this explanation made a lot of sense to me and I was able to use mindfulness more. Hopefully this article will help you understand mindfulness today if you are not already practicing it.
