Have a Little Faith

Why on earth would I do that?

In my youth I probably wouldn’t take the time to read it or maybe would believe it was all a BS prank of some kind. I think it would be like today where people photoshop an image and tell you someone in 1928 was holding a cell phone, just unrealistic.

So instead of sending a message back why not step into the time machine and send myself back? IF by some unwritten rule in the fine print I missed that said I couldn’t meet myself back then, then maybe I would leave a note to be seen by my eyes only, but I didn’t see any fine print in the prompt. So…Would I dare to meet my younger self and would my younger self pay attention? I say yes on both accounts as when I was young I paid attention to my elders and I clearly speak what’s on my mind in this, my senile age.

The message? You’ve done an amazing job at surviving the trials you’ve put yourself through so don’t beat yourself up to much along the journey in front of you. Stay true to your heart and keep looking inside for the answers. Maybe in the 80s & 90s quit trying to push the envelope so much but don’t sacrifice the love and excitement you live for. In March of 2007 remember this one important fact, you don’t need to curse the Lord and demand answers you really don’t want to know. In 2015 forgive your family for what they are doing, it won’t matter in the long run and lastly just keep being you, you are mostly content with your life in 2026.

Since Aquarius is your/my birth sign this should be a good choice for you/me to listen to today, and in the future, don’t quit mis-behavin’ entirely and remember “I LOVE YOU DUDE, BARK BARK! “

A Roll of the Dice

The troublesome decisions that can’t be made on the fly.

I have been looking in the rearview {sort of} by going through my old posts and have found to many of them that have lost their images. I’m sure it’s on me that this happened as I have deleted some images in the media gallery and have no clue which ones were in the ‘naked posts’. I have tons of duplicates in the gallery and need to get rid of some but this is where the problem lies.

Do I want to take the time to go through three years of posts and try to add images back in? That would take more than a hot minute to accomplish. Should I just delete the posts? I think I would regret this move so not an option. Do I just leave the blank spaces alone and tackle this in the future?

Decisions Decisions Decisions!

Of course in trying to make this choice I have to add in that this would have to be done when I’m not trying to accomplish the quest I am now on. I feel like my cup is overflowing and my mop is overworked. I guess I’ll pour another cup and ponder as I add another picture to my gallery.

In Other Matters

Boy, did I sleep good last night! A solid thunderstorm rolled and rattled through the sky bringing hard rain, which to me is like hearing a soothing mothers voice as an infant. With the temps hanging in the low seventies, I found this a perfect storm in which to snooze, snore and succumb to the void of unconsciousness.

I woke up refreshed and eagerly awaiting to start the next try of improving my vocals on tape. Good luck Dawg!

She reassured me that it was all in my head as she handed me another napkin to wipe my chin off.

The Valley of Webhooks: where every engineer's dream of a "quick afternoon project" blossoms into a never-ending saga of #JSON #nightmares and signature verifications. 😅 Apparently, the real truth hides in someone else's #database, living the lavish life of being parsed and bounced around—until your #product, desperately clinging to #relevance, decides it wants a local copy. 🚀✨

Inside the growing #vigilante #movement to knock out #Flock #surveillance #cameras

source: theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int…

Surveillance #technology is becoming more common in modern #society. Many governments use cameras and digital systems to improve public safety and help #police solve #crimes. Supporters believe these technologies make communities safer and allow officers to respond more quickly to criminal activities.

However, many people are worried about #privacy. Surveillance systems can collect large amounts of personal data, including information about where people travel and how they move through public spaces. Critics argue that innocent citizens should not be monitored without a clear reason or a legal warrant.

Some activists protest against these systems through political campaigns, while others choose direct action by disabling surveillance cameras. This has started a wider debate about the balance between #security and #freedom. The #discussion also raises important ethical questions about #government #power, personal privacy, and the role of technology in #everyday #life. Finding the right #balance between protecting society and protecting individual rights remains one of the biggest #challenges of the digital age.

I Did It Again

Just because I can.

✅

I didn’t really have anything important to talk about and feeling the jitter juice kicking in I figured that I might as well change the daily to showcase that.

3 – My Journey with AI. This is a fun way to leave a trail of what and how I have come to learn using this wave of the future. Twenty years from now I’ll probably be long gone but others will still be able to see this [by then] obsolete journey and hopefully understand the struggles and satisfaction I got out of doing it. https://peaceful-threads.com/dawghouse-dial/

2 – Challenges! I love how you guys jumpstart my thinking process.

https://mad-missy-work.blog/2026/08/03/missys-mad-challenge-104/

Your challenge for this week

• I found the truth tucked between yesterday and almost. ✅

Gazing into the rearview mirror of life is sometimes a fascinating view of the accomplishments I have made but knowing that I can only look in there so long before putting my eyes back on the road in front of me, I found the truth tucked between yesterday and almost.

And today’s number 1 answer…[drum roll]

1 – Sharing pieces of my altered mind through poetry. Weather good or bad I have fun writing whatever comes to mind, be it from my past or just a vivid imagination.

My Cup

My cup is empty so give me a sec
If I don’t fill it up I’ll become a wreck
Changing the daily to fit my mind
I now attempt another silly rhyme
Nicotine is calling or is it the beans
Reality is not always what it seems
I raise my Starbucks and offer a cheer
To thank you my friends for being here

In a Different Light

Take two…or three

I had the pleasure of making a song with our friend Nancy at http://theelephantstrunknr.wordpress.com/ a while back and we came up with Nancys Song. She said this was the one she liked the best.

1. Nancy's Song

I was in Suno this morning after practicing singing and decided to delete some old cuts sitting in there. I came across this cover and after listening to it I wanted to bring it over here and add it to my radio dial. I like them both.

1. Nancys Song 2

As you know I like combining things so this opens a new challenge for me. I find myself thinking I’m going to be spending way too much time in my R&D section of Suno listening to other cuts and destroying me brain on which ones I like best, Can you say ‘Damn it Dawg’!

Since I’m doing my daily post this might get long as I am going on to do the prompts too.

TTC   ✅
Your three words today are:
RESTLESS
RIOT
RANGE

EWWP   ✅
Your prompt word this week is FIGURE   

WD   ✅
Enigmatic - ˌe-(ˌ)nig-ˈma-tik   
Adjective - Of, relating to, or resembling an enigma, something hard to understand or explain. Mysterious.

Some of you might think my posts are enigmatic at times and other times you might find them to be a riot. Either way the nature of this blog site is designed to offer you a range of things to contemplate. With a daily overdose of my favorite Black Bean Brew my mind gets restless, go figure.

Scrambled Reaction

✅

This dropped in my inbox today and I wanted to share another creation from my quill for your eyes only. Please go check it out. *This has nothing to do with the daily prompt.”

https://spillwords.com/breaking-the-chain/

Three Things Challenge

Your three words today are:
QUALITY ✅
QUANTITY ✅
QUILL ✅

The thoughts of some brilliant minds have long been up for debate in society when it comes to who’s the best or most influenceable lyricist in music. The quantity to chose from is enormous even if you stick to one genre or even a generation.

Today I am going to stay in the genre of rock from the early seventies for my answer. I feel the quality of music then was exceptional and the poets that wrote these lines for music explored a variety of deep thoughts

In just this little space of time there were so many great stories put to music I find it difficult to chose just one so again I will leave you with three choices from my altered mind.

1- Black Oak Arkansas (Mar 71′)
I’ve walked through the Halls of Karma
I shook hands with both the Devil and God
They turned my eyes to the inside to see
Where my energies have gone

2 – Ozark Mountain Daredevils (Nov 73′)
If you want to know a secret
You got to promise not to tell
If you want to get to heaven
You have to raise a little hell

3 - Steve Miller Band (May 76')
Come on, papa, your end is the means
Don't trade your love and goodness for the golden machine
You run for the money
You don't even know about wild mountain honey

Here are the three videos of these classic hits that have resonated with me through time.

A quotation from Terence

DEMEA: No one has ever plotted out his life’s plan so successfully that he never faces
   New challenges and discoveries brought about by circumstances, the passing of time,
   Or experience itself. Inevitably, you discover you don’t know what you thought you did,
   And the principles we first formed don’t hold up in the face of everyday practice.
 
[Nunquam ita quisquam bene subducta ratione ad vitam fuit
Quia res, Ætas usus semper aliquid apportet novi
Aliquid moneat, ut illa, quæ te scire credas, nescias
Et, quæ tibi putaris prima, in experiundo ut repudies.]

Terence (186?-159 BC) African-Roman dramatist [Publius Terentius Afer]
Adelphoe [Adelphoi; Adelphi; The Brothers], Act 5, sc. 4, l. 855ff (160 BC) [tr. Christenson (2010), Sc. 22]

Sunday’s Showstopper

A good BS title to start with don’t cha think?

✅

Your three words today are:
OVEN
OVER
ORAL

Three Things Challenge ✅

Dreams are an interesting subject.

Some dreams take us down dark tunnels where we suddenly sit up screaming and drenched in sweat like we just stepped out of an oven.

1. Dreams Interweave

Other ones have us over in a fantasy land of sexual desires where we don’t want to wake up yet, trying to force sleep to return us to that exact moment and yet others can take us down memory lane. But all of these occur when we are in a deep sleep {REM}, what about those dreams we have while our eyes are opened wide?

1. Blue Dreams

Those dreams are all in the review mirror now but new dreams are on the horizon. In my quest to fulfill another dream I have turned to one of my favorite things in life, music. Even though haters will hate on AI generated sound I am barking loud and proud with it. This is my oral declaration.

As you leave my blog site today
May you find peace in your own way
Do what places joy in your heart
And don't let haters stand in the way

Those dreams are all in the review mirror now but new dreams are on the horizon. In my quest to fulfill another dream I have turned to one of my favorite things in life, music. Even though haters will hate on AI generated sound I am barking loud and proud with it. This is my oral declaration.

As you leave my blog site today
May you find peace in your own way
Do what places joy in your heart
And don't let haters stand in the way

Ah, yes, because writing code wasn't confusing enough, let's throw another dimension into the mix! 👏 So revolutionary! 🙄 Now developers can spend twice the time figuring out if their code is broken or just poorly written in 2D. 🚀

One day I was standing on a spiral staircase holding the newel and looking down the center. My older brother was talking nonsense about how an invisible gossamer sheet would protect me if I fell. I was scared but had to test my fears to pacify my beliefs of being invincible, didn’t work. After a few moments my young mind made myself a promise to become the most nondescript person walking on plant earth.

It’s a Start

No title, no inspiration, no direction, but I do have coffee so it’s a start.

I haven’t floated over to reader yet today. Finished with the mail and fake news over on MS which didn’t take very long. The weather is in a sweet spot for the next couple of days but is supposed to warm back up next week and today is slowly forming into a ‘Get er done’ or ‘fuck it’ kind of day.

I’m choosing the former for now.

1. What tiny inconvenience instantly ruins your mood more than it should?

A1 – People interrupting others while they are talking. Wait until the other person is finished before opening your piehole to breathe hot air that’s meaningless.

2. What’s a smell you’d bottle if you could, even though no one else would understand why?

A2 – Wild onions, I don’t know why but I love the smell.

3. What’s a habit you have that would confuse an alien observing you?

A3 – Extending my finger for a tug, it would be fun to get them to pull my finger and farting. I’m thinking they wouldn’t understand the humor.

Okay that’s a start. The coffee is beginning to open my eyes a little more and I feel the gears starting to grind in the dust collector between my ears. I found a title, a small bit of inspiration {thanx sis} but the u turns of a dawgs delusion is still escaping me.

The direction I should be moving into is practicing my singing but I’m not feeling it yet today. Actually I’m not feeling this post either so maybe my direction is moving over to the ‘fuck it’ side of life. Time for a nicotine stick.

That was a refreshing break. The big ball of fire spreading vitamin D upon me helped kick the coffee in and I came back in with a fresh mindset. No more bad attitude for a while anyway. I’m going to shut off the phone, kick up my excuse of a recording booth and piss myself off as I try to sing in tune. Practice makes for an interesting day.

I am hoping to get at least three songs done this weekend so I can put them on Cambrians’ web site. I am hoping that the developer can help me with getting signed in, a glitch when I signed up is preventing me from finishing my profile which in turn won’t let me upload any info or songs to the platform.

I believe this new site is a great thing for an AI enthusiast such as me. This is a site geared towards people engaging with AI to make music. Most of what I’ve heard over there is all AI for now but I expect it to migrate into fools like me that sing with the generated music. I wish Logan the best of luck moving forward with this original one of a kind site.

With that I will close this ramble and turn to barking loud and proud through the pioneer. Peace & love for the weekend, Ernie Dawg.

Thursday’s Twilight Thoughts

Time to tackle Esther’s thoughtful prompts

Can you tell a story in 77 words using the following words in it somewhere: ✅

Your prompt word this week is LABEL    ✅

COYOTE, LEMONADE, THERAPIST, BUBBLEWRAP, MISSPELL, VACUUM, LYCRA, BACKSTROKE

In Coyote California the band “The Lemonade Therapist” was preforming at the Backstroke bar on Saturday night. As Suzie finished running the vacuum in the lobby she noticed the t shirt vendor’s label . Was she reading this right or was it misspelled? After a short debate with herself she shrugged it off and went backstage to get ready for the show. She came onstage wearing neon lycra leggings and a top made of bubblewrap, she rocked it..

🤖✨ Wow, breaking news: #AI didn't sprinkle magic dust on programming! Instead, it apparently turned it into a game of #CAPTCHA and cyber hide-and-seek with Cloudflare. 🙄🔒 Who knew code monkeys would need to master the art of bypassing security blockades to access their own industry articles? 🐒🚫
