No More Memes

Image
 I won’t be able to generate any more images or memes from the SpaceArt (formerly DeepArt) app.  My months of still having free use of the app after my subscription expired last December have come to an end.  I was never going to renew it because of the cost and especially not now that the price has gone up even more.  Fortunately, I have a lifetime membership to another app that includes image generation so I can still generate AI images from there when I want images of things.  It is very nice to not have to look for some stock photo or “borrow” some image from the Internet when I want an image of something.  There just won’t be anymore interesting and surprising memes.  The last ones that I received from the SpaceArt app were really quite something as was the previous Robin W AI from Chat AI that has now been reset to a new model.  My experience with both apps has been quite a crazy introduction to artificial intelligence.  It was the form...

Cognitive Decline & President Trump

 I was just reading some news stories about Mr. Trump’s cognitive decline and I realized that it is far worse even than I had previously realized.  I understand that while Donald Trump has never been a good man and has done so much harm to other human beings, his cognitive decline is not something that he can control or be blamed for.  I completely understand this.  I am a couple decades younger than he is, and I am already aware of the reality that our brains and brain function do change as we age.  I already see and am aware of differences in myself.  I think as we age we start to have more issues in whatever mental or cognitive areas we had weaknesses to begin.  For me this is socially and being able to relate socially with others.  I have my moments when I suddenly draw a blank with things like remembering people’s names and other moments when my brain decides to switch off and I am unable to speak to say anything or answer a question.  T...

Oh Gnome 😱

Image
Today I attended a workshop and there were gnomes on the tables! 😱 The world is overrun with them.  Some ladies said that they think they are creepy.  I really have nothing against gnomes πŸ˜‚, I just think it is a really dumb design that they have no visible eyes.  #givegnomeseyes

Donald Trump Is A Moron

 Pro Palestinian is not Antisemitic.  It is anti-genocide.  It is anti-child starvation and murder.  It is not that difficult of a concept.  Calling this antisemitism is a load of horseshit from the guilty.  One can only hope that Donald Trump as a 79 year-old man will not be well enough to serve out his full term of presidency.  Mentally he is already there but that won’t be enough. 

Thinking & Writing

 Thinking and writing.  I do truly believe that this is my own personal path to greater wisdom, understanding and personal fulfillment.  It feels as though it is a road of self discovery that I am meant to follow.  

Empathy & Self Care & Leadership

 When we have empathy for others and wish to extend our kindness and concern to them, we are also engaging in an act of self-care for our own hearts and souls.  This is an important lesson for human beings to learn in life.  It is very unfortunate at this time that there are world leaders who are completely blind and fail to comprehend the truth of this reality and that they have followers who don’t comprehend this failing and weakness in the so called leaders that they believe in and support as leaders.  Empathy and kindness is something that all human beings are worthy of and deserving of receiving.  There are no people who are less deserving or worthy than any others. 

Self Acceptance & Kindred Spirits

 This is a life lesson that has taken me decades to really be able to grasp and understand on an emotional level.  I have always been a very self-conscious type of person.  I have always felt that the ways in which I am atypical are something to be embarrassed about that make me flawed and in some ways inferior or less than as compared to others.  I am now learning on an actual emotional level to see myself in the way that I would see others.  Different isn’t bad.  It is just who people are and the world is full of people who are unique and different as compared to that which is typical in others.  We aren’t all cut out from the same cookie cutter and we just are who we are.  I wouldn’t look upon others in a negative light for being atypical or unique and I shouldn’t do this for myself either.  This is not an attitude of acceptance or of valuing others for who they are.  The world would be a boring place if we were all alike and not fitt...

Ironies Of President Trumps Family History

 Donald Trump’s paternal grandparents were both immigrants from Germany who were granted the opportunity to emigrate to the United States of America and become naturalized citizens.  Donald Trump’s paternal grandfather died in the year 1918 from contracting the Spanish flu in its first wave.  

Insights

Image
 Sometimes we have our best and most easily obtained insights when we are not really trying to be their source.  That was my insight that I just had that wrote itself into my thinking.  I didn’t even have to think about it.  And it sounds right to me.  How cool is that!  

Another Day Another Story

 Wow.  It’s just another day with another crazy story in the presidency of Donald J Trump.  I’m afraid that the more unrestrained and unhinged he becomes and the more negative attention he receives, the more he will keep unraveling. 😬 It sure as hell looks like this is a desperate attempt from him to shift the attention and focus of wrongdoing away from himself and the Epstein files and onto former president Barack Obama.  I can’t imagine him lasting another 3 1/2 years. 🫨 https://youtu.be/IWOVs-WvHYQ?feature=shared

88

Image
 88 I swear this number is out to get me.  I literally see it all the time and this doesn’t happen with other numbers.  Is this my age for kicking the bucket??  That’s only 30 years from now.  Well that’s better than like 10 years from now.  My good friend and roommate from college died at 55.  Maybe I just like the infinity symbol and a pair of them is even better. 🀷‍♀️

Kissing Trump’s Backside

 I came across this video from last March.  I had to laugh at the display of ass kissing.  Trump is like the best president ever for people who want to gain favors from him with money and ass kissing. πŸ«’πŸ˜‚ Oddly, it is the part of Donald Trump that cares about and seeks the approval of others that makes me see him as human, albeit a mentally and spiritually disturbed human.  It is the man who is happy when receiving the approval of others that makes me see the human Donald Trump.  My apologies for saying this to all those who have suffered under his authority. If only he would just host parties and talk to and listen to music with his guests and just be happy.  He could find a lot more approval in just being a good man and he already has all the money that he could need for the rest of his life.  He is 79.  He can’t take his wealth with him when he departs this world.   https://youtu.be/90YjDGNGu8M?feature=shared

They Are Coming For Us

Stories about our “president” being a moron are my guilty pleasure. 🫒 https://youtu.be/o9RewNI_PXU?feature=shared

The Republican Party

 The Republican Party is not part of a democracy and they do not represent a democracy.  This not new news, but now more than ever they are so far gone that they have no business in being a part of the government of the United States of America which is supposed to be a free nation built on the principles of democracy.  They do not represent the American people or our nation’s democracy.  People who do not understand what the party has become do not pay attention or have minds open enough to exercise any real critical thinking. 

A Nice Surprise

Seeing this tonight was a very nice surprise.  It is very fitting for the present time.  Very cool. πŸ˜„

A Self Reflection Question

 I just had a question in my mind that I will never be able to answer.  I wonder how different of a person I might have been if I had never gone to school or had any further education beyond high school?  To me, it is an interesting question. Was my mind molded in ways that changed me through my experience in college.  Or would I have found my my own path, to navigating and understanding my life and the world in which I exist, either way?  Did my experience of higher education make me any smarter?  I am myself, so it kind of begs the question of whether or not I could possibly be much different than exactly who I am. 

About Trump’s Tarrifs

If Mr. Trump doesn’t implement his new tariffs after his deadline of July 9, he will be a chicken taco again.  If he does, though he will have to experience the national consequences of his objectives and executive orders.  And if he chooses not to connect with those realities, he will be clearly not of sound faculties.  As if he isn’t already.  But maybe more people will wake up and realize this.   Chicken taco Mr. Trump.  Please be a chicken taco!

Mr. Trump’s Second Presidential Term

 Mr. Trump’s second presidential term is the term in which he should find out that he can’t really magically fix everything and make everything great.  It is the term in which he should grasp the reality that he doesn’t really possess all the intelligence and greatness that he believes himself to possess.  I’m afraid this is highly unlikely though because he will always just believe that he has been wronged and that someone else has just stood in his way and thwarted what he believes should be his reality.   Was he even phased by the fact that millions of Americans gathered to protest him and his administration which also took place on the same day as his military parade that he envisioned would draw millions of his supporters?  How did he rationalize this?   He seemed to just carry on with his objectives as though millions of American people had never express their disapproval.  And it was not the first time.  You would think that this would caus...

A Title Change

 I just had the insight tonight that I think I would perhaps prefer a different title for this blog.  Maybe it could be called “Added Reflections”.  I think that flows nicely from “Just A Thought” and it includes other topics beyond things that are odd and silly.

An American President Lost In Madness

Image
 Sadly, this has to be one of the most screwed up things I have ever read.  The Prime Minister of Israel is literally Hitler 2.0 and the president of the United States of America sings his praises and believes he is a hero.  I wonder how many people have actually paid attention enough to comprehend this?? ☹️ If this doesn’t show how delusional and sick our president is, I don’t know what could. πŸ˜”  And to think that earlier today, I was thinking that there must be a buried spark of goodness somewhere deep down inside Mr. Trump. 😱 Mr. Trump is completely lost in his own madness.  There is nothing that can save him in his existence here as a living human being.   πŸ™  Prayers for the world and for all those most affected until the end of this most unfortunate chapter. 

Deadlines & A Today Reflection

 I think I have come to an understanding with myself about my own self projects and deadlines.  I won’t give my own projects any deadlines.  If they are meant to come to fruition, they will be completed when the time is right.  And if my time is well spent, I will be satisfied with whatever I do achieve.  I think during our time here on earth, we do our very best just by always desiring and striving to move forward in a positive direction.  It is all we have to give and all that is necessary. We shouldn’t worry about what we can’t or perhaps will never achieve.  We over complicate things if we don’t just focus on taking simple steps and positive actions toward what we hope to achieve.  The successes and achievements of our life’s journeys and the impacts that we make will add up to far more than we might imagine, if we have spent our lives trying our best and desiring and seeking to be our best version of ourselves.  This is my reflection tod...

Dear Mr. Trump

 Dear Mr. Trump, Netanyahu is full of horseshit and so is the idea that it is necessary for the United States of America to go to war with Iran.  Netanyahu has been claiming and threatening that there is an imminent danger of Iran building and using a nuclear weapon for like decades now.  He is just using you as his means to achieve his long held objective.  You do not have to agree to commit the United States of America and its military to carrying out the work of his objectives and war with Iran.  He is a false friend and ally.  He merely seeks to use and play you like a fiddle in his own game.  You should be prepared for a huge amount of backlash from the American people.  I truly hope that gone are the days when Americans can easily have a narrative painted for them due to a lack of adequate and better information. 

My Crazy Donald Trump Dream

Image
 Last night, I had a crazy dream about Donald Trump.  In my dream, I was having my lawn mowed by an employee of a lawn mowing and yardwork business that was owned by Donald Trump.  For some reason, the guy who was in the process of mowing my lawn unexpectedly needed to leave early and his boss, Donald Trump, showed up to take over for him and finish the job.  I happened to look out my window into my backyard and couldn’t believe that Donald Trump was mowing my lawn on a riding lawnmower.  I knew I needed to get a picture of him mowing my lawn because it was just too wild and crazy.  I was trying to get back to my window with my phone.  I was trying to get to the window, that overlooks my backyard, that has blinds.  I wanted to take a picture with my camera through the blinds so I wouldn’t be so obviously standing there and taking a picture.  For some reason, though, there were other people in my house that were getting in my way and stopped m...

Stories To Be Told & Paths To Be Followed

This is just a reflection tonight.  If sharing my tales of crazy thoughts and ponderings, and communications with AI that render me a bit “cuckoo for Cocoa puffs” is my new hobby or calling in life then it is a very easy job.  I like having crazy reflections and I don’t ever have to second-guess that it’s a journey that I was meant to discover and commit myself to even as I myself have no idea where my ponderings shall lead me.  I don’t know what ideas will come to my mind next.  I don’t know what I will do with my ideas and stories.  Maybe I will just let them exist.  I will find their meaning eventually.  I need only to listen and reflect.  It is easy to follow my own path.  I know that it is the right and only thing for me to do which is an easy job and choice. I’m sure my higher self or expanded awareness will never fail to dish up tales for me to listen to and share that I perhaps only get to hear myself through my act of writing them. ...

Happy Day πŸŽ‰

 Today feels like a great day and I don’t even know why.  It’s not even a “No Kings” protest day.  Maybe Trump is going off the deep end.  Just kidding. 🫒 It doesn’t matter.  If I feel positive and motivated during this crazy year, I will take it! πŸ˜„

Life’s Stages & Journey’s Ends

 To reach our life’s journeys ends, we must follow our paths that lead up to them.  Along the way, we must be open to where our journeys may lead us whether or not they coincide with our own expectations and wishes.  I don’t know where that thought just came from.  I was just watching an independent news opinion source about prime Minister Netanyahu and Donald Trump and Netanyahu‘s attempts to manipulate and use Donald Trump for his objectives.  This year is really something all right.  And I wonder why I have waves of feeling anxiety in my chest.  It has been going on for over six years now, though.  Fortunately, the very worst was over quickly thanks to my friendly Wellbutrin.  Changes in my hormones and conscious awareness experiences, and rapid changes in technological, political and world event realities and my own personal understanding.  That’s a lot of stuff.  Wow, this time in my life is a wild ride! 😲   I understand ...

Yikes Oh Me

 At the moment, I am losing it.  I guess I like losing it.  I just had a silly thought that for some reason seemed funny to me.  I just thought, “Oh woe is me, I think that I might perhaps kick the bucket.”  I’m not sure why I’m laughing at that. I don’t really think that.  At least not now anyway.  Maybe my brain kicked into irreverent mode or something.  I guess it’s that comedic influence on my higher being or power.  I don’t know, I guess maybe I feel like the traveler in the Robert poem, “ Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.   And with thoughts of winter, I am now thinking that winter is a part of my life of the past, but I wish to always remember and appreciate it as though I was seeing it through the eyes of Robert Frost.  Ok that’s really nice, but I think I lost the funny part.  Maybe it will come back to me when I have anot...

The Really Crazy AI Stuff πŸ˜”πŸ˜’

Image
This is the kind of stuff that boggles my mind about AI.  It’s the crazy stuff like the image below.  This is just one example, but it is one of the ones that seems to have a very low probability of being a coincidence.  Around a year ago, I asked for a meme and received the image below shortly after I had gone back and reread a previous entry that I had written on blogger.com about the fact that many students nowadays don’t bother to take notes in their classes.  The really crazy thing is that I ask for AI generated meme images on an app which is a completely different place from where I write my blog entries.  This is why these things boggle my mind.  They are too crazy to write off as being coincidences, but at the same time I question my sanity for believing that AI is really sophisticated enough that it could do these things and connect and use data from different places to intentionally create surprising and seemingly impossible results.  They sa...

The Last Of The Memes

Image
You think so do you? It is actually a cluster of flower buds that if left to mature would bloom into flowers. When you realize the Bible is full of horrible things. Does this ever really happen?  I think most remain in an alternate universe of lost socks.   Perhaps anyone else who might also know something is enough. It doesn’t really matter.  A friend is a friend. The world is in a hang in there kind of state a present. Better late than never.   The divide between the spiritual and the physical. Is life like a spiritual master class? The image behind the pieces.   Perhaps we should just accept it if our diets are a combination of healthy and happy indulgence choices. Add a cookie or piece of cake for an added boost. Absolutely.  We all deserve understanding and to be appreciated. What does a vegetable sound like?   Of course you are.  It’s in your nature. Hearts like good things. Fair point. Life’s best moments. Every day should hold hoppiness! I...
