Please Refresh Your Browser on Every Visit as I am Updating Content DAILY!
As of 11/25/24, I have chosen a wonderful tech partner for all of my endeavors and life is grand indeed! As the world, and myself continues to change, I strive to find new and exciting ways to grow. And when I do, I shall pass it all on to YOU!
To that end, WCBC is now officially branded as "celestiyum" You can think of it as "celesti YUM" cuz it will be YUMMY indeed! Stay tuned...
ALL of my online presences will be going through a MAJOR overhaul in the next few weeks.
The content will keep on coming all over WIESTWORLD, every single day...but SOON I will get DEEP into improved accessibility, functionality, simplicity and by extrapolation...FUN!
I've had LOTS of wonderful input on my exciting ALTERNATIVE to social media (now known as "celestiyum") and am REALLY looking forward to making it happen for all of us.
I love each and every one of you MADLY!
–Steve Wiest, New Chicago: Old U.S.A.

CONTENT AND COPYRIGHTS: Much of what you will see posted by myself here will be my own content. I style myself as a "content polymath" these days. What I mean by that is: I am a trombone player | a music composer and arranger | an author of prose in the forms of articles, posts, novels, and general flubdubbery | a cartoonist and illustrator who works with pencil, ink, Photoshop and other techno stuff | I fancy myself also to be an entertaining public speaker, guest on podcasts, and presenter of multi-topic goodies | and I host two podcasts myself "Leadology" and "The Quiddit Podcast." So I have LOTS of content that I've created and CONTINUE to create and it is currently ALL OVER the Internet. My intent is to migrate ALL of that stuff to WIESTWORLD and WCBC one-way-or-another.
Also, this will be a clearing house for info and items that are –by current standards anyway– legally a part of the public domain such as anything on YouTube. So you will see LOTS of content be it news, comedy, commentary, documentaries, clips, music, etc from that source (YouTube) here at WCBC.
I will also collect and make available articles from other organizations that are allowing the free sharing of their content here at WCBC. Essentially, if it's out there in print or online, and it speaks to me one-way-or-the-other, I will share it here, just as I used to on FaceBook and Instagram.
If I ever step on your toes as far as an unintentional copyright infringement, or share something that you do NOT want shared, please alert me right away at my email: zoon.eejazz@gmail.com As a content creator and creative artist myself, who doesn't get paid for ANY of his content currently, the last thing I want to do is accidentally take advantage of YOUR content without permission.
Let's take care of one another my friends,
MEMBERSHIP: You can become a member FREE OF CHARGE by clicking "post as member" when you write a post and then create your profile. Easy-peasy! By being a member, you will be notified when I post anything and will receive my newsletter–whenever I write one. It will be a way to stay connected as a community. Kinda like a doorbell.
CATEGORIES: On the Categories Page you can go directly to a "chat room" type where posts are organized by subject.. You can use the menu at the top of this page, the "submenu" page below the main menu, or just click here:
MY SOLEMN PLEDGE
In this community, I won't try to sell you anything (unless you ask!) My WIESTWORLD website IS a place where I try to ply my craft and sell merch and WCBC IS hosted by said website out of current necessity. HOWEVER... WCBC IS NOT ABOUT MAKING MONEY. WCBC is FREE OF CHARGE and ALWAYS WILL BE.
Any info that you provide will stay right here–safe and secured. I and any of my future partners do not and will not sell personal information gathered when you become a member of this community, I and any of my future partners do not and will not EVER gather ANY information about you, your opinions, your affiliations, or your "buying and purchasing tendencies." I ABHOR such capitalistic practices. These insulting, heinous, and DANGEROUS corporate commercial endeavors are at the very heart of why I left social media in the first place. Such things will NEVER be a part of this community.
This is my solemn and happy promise to you. WCBC is a safe place where we can talk and revel in each other's company online in the same manner as we do IN PERSON!
Such a deal!
In every civil gathering, however, there needs to be a code of conduct. Here is ours. Please give it a look-see (it's only one page...a quick an scintillating read!)
WARNING: If any of us don't follow this code of conduct, I reserve the right to terminate membership. PLEASE DON'T TEST ME! (OY! that felt harsh...but necessary I think)
Let the shenanigans and happy times ensue...
Hey Bruthah! I don't know how I finally got this to allow a comment, and it isn't in the place I was trying to get to, but as you can see...it worked.
I was trying to comment in the "we are not alone" to make certain you were aware of the Congressional UAP hearing tomorrow November 11th at 11:30am. There is so much going on (now) that I am (almost) a believer!
Aside from UFO/UAP, I had to look up "transmedium" and USO. Now, my disclaimer: At this point in time I can't honestly say that I have ever known anything either related to military service or not regarding UAP/USO phenomenon. (I learned that at Watergate hearings!)
Good luck wit…
Von Skreun!!! I'm glad you have set this up. I haven't shut down my social media accounts (yet) but I have greatly curtailed my time on them. So this place could be a great refuge. On other discussion boards, my typical handle is DukeCity (nickname for Albuquerque that is also evocative of jazz, man), so I'll probably use that name here. Looking forward to dubbing your flub as often as I can!
This is a great idea, Steve! We all need to find places to get away from the insanity that the world around us has become. Look forward to hanging with everyone on your site!
Peace and Music!!
Hello Admiral! I empathize and wish I could ditch the socials but, alas, it comes with the job for me. I will be here, quietly keeping up to date on the haps and adventures. Stay well 🤍🖖
