#journey — Public Fediverse posts

A quiet exploration of bodily signals, delicate balances, and the tension between institutional systems and personal realities. What lies beneath the surface remains an open question.

Reflections or Regrets?

Cleaning the Blackboard or Scratching the Fleas?

One of the first answers today was to erase the events that happened to my parents on February 6 1958, my birth. That didn’t last very long though, a blink in the eye of time, because let’s face it, I enjoy being here most of the time.

Maybe I would go with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I have often wondered what history would look like if he hadn’t been shot. I have a strong dislike for the events following his death and believe LBJ screwed the pooch as well as America.

I’m keeping these answers in my lifeline so the third choice would probably be the internet. Even though it has been useful and helped the world in many ways I think it has accelerated the downfall of society. I mean yeah, I can find out what Kim Lee made for supper in Shanghai last night or what Peppy Morgan dislikes about blood pudding but is this trade off worth what I am doing in my life right now?

Damn Skippy it is, which brings me to why I am writing this post.

Welcome to another update of my journey with AI.

Good morning. I wasn’t planning on doing the daily prompt but plans are like the wind, changing on a moments notice. Yesterday found me laying tracks down all day. I recorded one song repeatedly filling up one side of a reel 2 1/2 times, (about 85 minutes per side or roughly 70 takes) and still am at the starting line with it. It is 3:04 long and after seven hours the day was finished with two takes I liked enough to transfer to my DAW today and see if I can keep any parts of them in editing.

Editing is nothing like when I did my books, way more technical and challenging to me. The two takes I kept might leave me with less than 1 minute of the track I can use for the final outcome.. I am feeling more comfortable with singing and even have been finding my groove so to speak. The problem? keeping my vocals in the same pitch or range. I tend to change octaves quite often and although less than before I still get out of tune easily. 😁

The good news, I am feeling relaxed in knowing I’m finding my range in vocals as well as the distance I need to be from the mic so as not to overpower the music or be so far away as it sounds like I’m not in the same room as the music. I’ve also found that breaks are needed throughout the day. If I don’t take a break my vocal chords start feeling scratchy and I don’t want to over do it. So it goes that 1 – this is way more complicated than I thought it would be and 2 – the rain is both tears of joy and regret as I step into the void and try to fulfill my goal.

Happy Wednesday to you all and may the sounds of success fill your world with fuzzy thoughts as I try to learn my DAW this morning before jumping back into the rhythm of practice makes…more practice.

Glitch

flights are grounded
my wings are clipped
i need to wait a little
longer to start this trip

my future connection
could be in jeopardy
it might be a while
before we're set free

the whims of the divine
are all part of the plan
my life's trajectory is
not in my hands

so i will wait patiently
for the Control Tower's nod
and match my flight to the wind of an all-knowing God

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! “

M/S Lövskär 10.8.2026 saapumassa Seiliin, tulossa Nauvosta noutamaan meitä, ja huristelemassa myötätuulessa takaisin Turkuun.

Tuosta Norrskäriä uudemmasta paatista en vielä löytänyt teknisiä tietoja, eikä ole pohjaa verrata muihin vastaaviin. Pienellä miehistöllä Saaristolinja/Vitharun noita pyörittää, mikä kai on nykyaikaa (vrt. bussit).

Pioneer Paws and Play

My four word Sunday.

The coffee has me tuned in so hopefully this is going to be a productive day at the Dawghouse Barking Studio. I spent the morning getting things set up and ready to lay some tracks down. Now I’m waiting on my son to show up and monitor the dials while I howl and bark into the system. [10:30 am]

[3:00 pm]

So Derek showed up and I showed him how to operate the recording equipment through the DAW and the Pioneer rtr. It took awhile but then we spent around 45 minutes dialing in the vocals and music levels separately. Once the line input was set we then fine tuned the mic levels and I attempted my first recording. It sounded like shit let me tell ya {cuz}. I was missing my marks, out of key and forgetting lines and more, a real disaster for sure, but to me it was a valuable experience!

After three runs we took a break for about ten minutes while Derek adjusted some fine tuning then got back into it, I had to adjust my distance from the mic [to close], [to far], kinda like Little Red Riding Hood finding the perfect bowl of porridge. Finding the right distance I then laid a mark on the floor and tried again.

We practiced the song until around 2:30 or so then called it quits for the day. After putting everything away we listened to the tape. Derek was monitoring this all the way and had starred two copies he wanted to hear through speakers instead of headphones.

We discussed the mistakes from both sides and what we can do moving forward but he pointed out how my vocals had changed between the first and last tries. I became more comfortable as I went along and it shows. Although I will never be a musician, I believe I might have a chance of not sounding like a sad hound howling or a drunken karaoke singer when I’m done.

I didn’t forget; “Blessed by our savior” [my 4 words]
