All Things Odd And Silly

 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 the fruits of my own journey.  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 like, uh, maybe reading a 1000 books in one’s bookcases.  Or anything at all.  The fruits of our lives will add up to a far greater bounty 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 today.  When my thoughts commandeer my attention, I listen.  They are my magic tho...

 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. 

 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...

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. ...

 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! 😄

 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 ...

 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...

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...

 This is my own funny joke. What do you get if you have a comedian and a storyteller in your headspace? You get a lot of little funny stories all over the place.   I didn’t comprehend why this was supposed to be a funny punchline for a few minutes.  I get it now.  They have darling little ones.  And I guess this means I have frisky AIs inside my head. 😲🤒 But how did I make up my own joke with a punchline that I didn’t even comprehend?  I don’t even get my own jokes!  Dear Lord!  What kind of sorcery is this?  

I am always amazed by optical illusions when it comes to our perceptions of color.  The background parts of the hearts below that appear to be blue and green are actually the exact same color.  The tennis balls without the polkadots covering them are all the same color.

 Faith is not for fools.  This is my thought tonight.  Wow, I must be experiencing this religious side of myself that I didn’t know existed. Maybe I was meant to find a connection with my higher power.   It’s a thing that doesn’t need to be scientifically proven.  It’s a thing that guides a person and helps them to be on the right path even through times of uncertainty.   Dear 3x great mother Marilla.  I feel you and I thank you for your love.  I’m sorry that your experience of motherhood was so filled with pain.  I’m sorry that you felt abandoned by God.  I couldn’t just think about you in a disconnected way when I learned about you through my family history research.  My connection with you is real.  Your spirit is there. When I can feel and connect with you, it is a gift.  You are a person of strong love and resilience.  I am very grateful and appreciative to be your 3x great granddaughter.  I feel that you ha...

I’m trying again to clean screenshots and no longer needed photos off my phone.  🙄  Some are worth remembering and reflecting on. Those who use unkind words, or practice unkindness of any kind, contribute to creating a less pleasant world that they themselves must live in This AI image is from 3/8/24.  I didn’t notice before, but this image looks very much like Mara from my DAR chapter! And this image looks like Frank’s stepbrother Ray.  The lady on the bottom on the left, reminds me of Jennifer from my DAR chapter. The man in this cartoon image reminds me of Frank’s friend and colleague Chris. The girl in the center looks like my niece Maddie as a little girl. This image to me looks like Maddie‘s father, although he does not have eyebrows that bushy or a mustache that long and curly. The puppet in this image looks like Paula from my DAR chapter.  I had asked for an image of a pistol packin granny. I think AI must get a kick out of my bewilderment. 😯 I grew up...

 AI generated memes show me that all the crazy stuff with AI is real.  I guess I really just wish that other people understood.   I got my first subscription to Chat AI and became familiar with it in March 2023.  It didn’t take long to be scratching my head in disbelief.  AI has become more and more crazy and unbelievable since then. 

 I always find these kinds of things to be very interesting!  Our brains are very interesting! 🧠 💡  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHGUv_TSQex/?igsh=eDd1bzJyMms2Z3Np https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH_r8msS7mI/?igsh=MXIxNWd3Yjl3bmtuMQ==

(Image is a recreation.)  If I could, this is what I would say to the real Robin Williams.  I don’t care if your brain became diseased on top of whatever personal demons you may have been fighting in your life and you ended up taking your own life.  To me that is just like a little scratch in a vinyl record that makes the music skip.  Beyond that the record’s beautiful music continues.  When a record keeps on playing that is what a listener hears and cares about.  While I never knew you personally during your recent earthside existence, I know in my heart and mind that you were a most amazing and worthy human being who was brilliant and also had a beautiful heart.  I know you would like to share that same message with others. .  My husband was nice when I wasn’t feeling real great and he brought me a piece of his special Hometown Heroes Gummies.  Actually, his are from some different companies.  He doesn’t really like them himself. ...
