Your three words yesterday are:
STERN
STREAM
STREET

Your three words today are:
ROUGH
RIPEN
RESET

I had kind of a rough week yesterday. I needed to reset my values and goals on what I am doing with AI. On the street level I have been receiving some good output on some singles I have shared with a couple of people, one here in Michigan and the other in Arizona. It kinda gave me more hope than I should have on the direction I was headed in.

I got a stern wake up call after having a conversation with someone whose thoughts I held dear. About a week ago or so a casual comment was spoken and it stung pretty hard. As the week went on the realization of what was said began to ripen into anger and then into maybe confusion, either way one thing has become crystal clear, They think that I shouldn’t stream my music anytime soon.

All AI music is slop, or maybe it’s just mine. I understand that haters will hate but to pretend not to and then drop a bomb that it sucks is not something to take lightly. Especially from someone you love. So, I am backing away from posting or sharing anymore of my “SLOP” on this site until I decide if what I am doing is Brummagem or not.

One thing became clear, people will tell you one thing trying to avoid tension if they believe it or not. Maybe that is why I don’t have a lot of personal friendships, I tell it like I see it whether you get butthurt or not. I don’t consider this a rant but more of a confession on what I am believing as I write this post.

As far as I can recall it would have to be “Imajica” by Clive Barker which came in at 824 pages. A fantastic journey through science fiction discovering five dimensions of earth and beyond. To me, a book that once I got into I couldn’t quit reading.

And before I leave you today…

Here’s to a great week and here’s a new limerick challenge for you. Your word this week is TASK

Every week Esther posts a prompt that asks
If we think we are up for a challenging task
Reading all of the answers leave me grinning
Trying to write one my head starts spinning
When it is all said and done I sit back and relax

I Had Sumptin’ In Mind

But just like that it’s gone, poof.

No, I really did forget so who knows what comes of this.

Football

I guess I’ll talk about the new sidebar images first. Big Al is back for another season along with the schedule which will highlight how our season progresses. We came out shaking with inexperience and nervousness and stayed that way through the first half trailing by 4 at halftime {13-17}. Settling down in the second half we were able to shut them down and come back to win 45-17 .

I had given up on Texas by half-time and went to bed. Damn it, I missed a comeback that had to be epic. I was soooo happy to see this upset happen, a beautiful gift to all of college football and a great game for Michigan to watch unfold. Oregon? losing Will Stein hurt this team tremendously and it shows. Sorry Willie but if they don’t kick butt the rest of the year you might miss out on the playoffs.

Caffeine & Nicotine

Let me pour another cup of delicious dark roast and talk about the coffin nails I have been hammering since 1967. This time around I have managed to drop from 1 1/4- 1 1/2 packs a day to 2 cigarettes a day on average, still have a few days where no matter what I try it don’t happen and I over indulge on them, but hey, I’m trying.

Crawling into the day

Baby Steps? naw, just not in the Fastlane today. I am passing on the prompts and challenges I love to do and not practicing my vocals either. So what’s up in the dawghouse you ask? NADA, NUNTIN’ HONEY. I am going outside to enjoy some 70 degree weather with sunny skies. I was given an album this morning and want to give it a spin today, “The Bangles” ‘Different Light’, it has ‘Walk like an Egyptian’ and ‘Manic Monday’ on it. I wasn’t a big Bangles fan but will add it to my collection which brings the total to 568 albums. I am buying another one that comes out on the 18th or 19th which was never put on vinyl when it came out, only CD. Bob Seager’s “Face The Promise”, a fantastic rock and roll album from one of the masters. {A three song tease}

I survived six unbroken years of relentless skin hunger and daily torment without an easy out. Through brutal days of waking agony and nights of heavy, forced sedation, ignored and dismissed by the world, I am still here standing my ground.

Starpup Glides Through

Rockin’ the Cosmos with his Woofy Wisdom.

The aroma of patchouli and Starbucks float gently into the air as you step into the entrance of Starpup’s tail wagging transporter for an emotional evolution.

Romance rocks the cosmos as the heart of Nebula provides the red glow around the Leo Luna forming sweet romantic paths through the stars. As Uranus floats quietly into the path of Venus’s vibrations, your emotional G- forces dominate your feelings, forging new constellations with who is on your mind. Open up about shared and individual aspirations to ensure everyone is receiving the communication they need to tranform and feel complete.

As the afternoon slips into evening, You’ll make an amazing discovery as you chat with friends and neighbors under the light of Betelgeuse. Your stars may have something in common with someone you didn’t realize and this could open up entire galaxies for your mind and heart to explore. Be on the lookout for synchronicities, coincidences and Deja Vue that seems to be too good to be true.

Your tarot card was picked at random and is as follows:

The Moon

NO
The dark side of the Moon card represents lying and deceit, the forces of illusion working against you. You will have a tendency to misjudge the situation and place trust in people who are deceitful. Be careful to wait until the stardust clouds of cosmic dust and debris are cleared before you make any major life decisions, Only then can a new shining star shows you the way.

It’s Time

More construction?

STARTING

Week 0 brings in another run for the championship as college football kicks off today, {we start next week}. Another year of finding out who went where for the money, what a shame, but it is the only sport I like anymore except NHRA so I welcome in another season with my favorite Saturday sayin’

ROLL TIDE BABY!

ENDING

I have three months left on my Suno account and then it will be done. I can’t believe it has been almost a year since I took the deep dive into this one. September 2nd Suno is changing their TOS and there has been a lot of chatter about it. With the frenzy of downloads and ‘slop’ being uploaded daily to all the DSP’s {airwaves} they want to put a stop to it or slow it down by limiting downloads to the following, {free account} 7 lifetime {Pro} 20 a month {Premier} 60 a month and {Studio} unlimited. I find no problem in this as I may make 10-70 takes of a song but only download one or two of them per song so I stay under 20 each month anyhow. I have enough songs for my album which was my goal with this hobby in the first place.

Now the question is, can my voice sound good enough on them or do I let them be as is with the generated voice for my copy. I am struggling with this but am in no hurry to decide as I have no set time limit on pressing it as of yet. I also have a small catalog already downloaded and in a file to play with later down the road for my radio channels. As the laws change and profits are spread into the right hands this will all settle down but pros and cons will remain. Haters will hate, big money corps will keep control as they always have and time will move on.

I do believe that they ought to force everyone to disclose AI use though, not just folk like me but the pop stars that have been using it all along, more and more of them are coming out now that they found another way to make money from their voice likeness.

IN BETWEEN

I guess that leaves you stuck in the middle with me. I will continue to face the challenges everyday and whatever else this altered mind comes up with.

Just include the words ‘One Day‘ in your post and let your creative juices flow!

We're ready for the Friendly Fill-Ins challenge and would love for you to join us

1 - Everybody loves _________.
2 - If someone new entered my home, they would immediately know _________.
3 - I think _________ should instead be named _________.
4- _________ was so bad I couldn't finish it.

My Responses

1 - Everybody loves somebody.
2 - If someone new entered my home, they would immediately know I am an Alabama Football Fan.
3 - I think one day Washington D.C. should instead be named Crooks Central City.
4- The last Coca-Cola I had was so bad I couldn't finish it.

Indian Towns with a European Vibe: Explore Charm, Luxury, and Culture of India 2026–27

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.

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]

Moments of a Monday

It’s time for another rhyme

Your challenge for this week - The moment I opened the door, I knew everything had changed.   ✅

Here’s a fresh limerick challenge for you. Your new word is WRECK ✅

Spizzerinctum - ˌspizəˈriŋ(k)təm
Noun - 
Determination, ardor, or zeal, Chutzpah, guts, nerve, or backbone.
Word Origin - American English, mid-19th century   ✅

Sometimes

The moment I opened the door, I knew everything had changed.
My spizzerinctum refreshed, my mind completely deranged
I told the woman I loved that her mind had became a total wreck
She needed to figure out there was no way I could be hen-pecked
This conversation lead to our relationship becoming estranged

1. Sometimes

I am sharing my AI assisted songs instead of YouTube videos with my posts when possible. To me they reflect or maybe resonate with the post they share, thanx for reading and barking in the comments.

@geethap2007 #Lyrics from #MorningStar - #song by #Geetha:

"#Triangles compressing me once
into #angles, my roundness #squared
#Ray meets #Pi, shadows #death ensnared

[Verse]
I squeeze hard repressing contours
On #love’s path, we oft take #detours
The walk on #circumference lasts
Greater #journey into the vasts

[Chorus]
Morning star, it buds within me
Rising light carries me so free
Into meadows of morrows sighs
Where deep and clean, forgiveness lies

Ah, yes, the ancient art of translating #hieroglyphics mistaken for the C++ "ownership" system. 🤓🔍 If only there was a guide that wasn't akin to deciphering the Rosetta Stone, but alas, our hero's #journey through redundant blog posts continues. Who knew revisiting C++ would involve a wild goose chase through a #labyrinth of non-existent guides? 🏃‍♂️💨

With Hackers’ soundtrack playing in my headphones, I’m starting my journey to #WHY2025 🤟

This is also the first time I’m using an #Interrail ticket 👀

I will try to log the whole trip on Träwelling, via the nifty Träwelldroid.

Ah, yes, the riveting tale of JWT's "epic" decade-long #journey through the digital wilderness, where it single-handedly transformed the world of JSON-based tokens... or at least, that's what Mike wants us to believe. 🎉🔐 So, buckle up for another thrilling decade of self-congratulatory musings and cryptographic jargon. 🥳📜
