April Blog Challenge Day 7 (10 Songs You Love)

Image
List 10 songs that you're loving right now. 1. My Name Is Ruin by Gary Numan - I am hocked on this song and play it at least 6 times a day. It's a lot different than his songs of the past, and I'm loving his newer work. 2. White Rabbit by Collide - This is a super funky sounding version of an old song I used to love as a kid. Shades of drug use, and the story of Alice in Wonderland come to life. 3. Close To Nature by Rational Youth - I been listening to this song often since the late 1980's. They are my favorite band. They recently retired, so my dream of seeing them live will never be. 4. Sex Metal Barbie by In This Moment - An electro inspired sound with a much heavier punch to it. The song is very dark and corrupt, and I really enjoy this one at times; Today very much. 5. Renegade by Styx - What can I say, it's good old classic rock at it's best. Great music and a song that paints a story in my mind. Been listening to this song for a very long time. 6. Fuck T...

Fed Escher Images To An AI And Got These Back

Image
Used Deep Dream Generator and it's "Visual Prompt" feature and uploaded 2 Escher images for it to generate images with. The first 3 came out a lot like the original image, but the second one, not quite the same. These images are free to use.

April Blog Challenge Day 6 (Five ways to win your heart)

Image
Five ways to win your heart. 1 Humor. I like people with a sense of humor that is a bit on the adult side. 2 Kind and caring. They need to be a good person and kind to everyone, not just me. 3 Being good at cooking on a budget. I like food and on my own keep it simple. But if they can pull off a great meal for a very low price, it's a big bonus. 4 Having the same taste in Movies and Shows as me helps a lot. 5 Willing to give me "me time". I need time alone sometimes.

The Power (2015) A Review

A woman is kidnapped and held by a cult. She befriends the daughter of the cult leader during her long stay. Their conversations tell of horrific abuse. There is tender moments between the two women. There are also outbursts of intense emotion. The dreams she has only make her imprisonment worse. One of the single most brutal s***al as**ult scenes I've ever witnessed is in this movie and almost made me turn it off. She is being used as a breeder to sacrifice the babies. There is in fact several great bits of dialog in. Some heavy topics. There is also horrific violence. IMDB is 5.8 but I gave it an 8. I warn you, unless there is something deeply wrong with you, this will stick with you a long time and not in a good way.

April Blog Challenge Day 5 (Places You Want to Visit)

Image
List five places you want to visit. 1 Yellowknife , Northwest Territories. It's on the bank of great slave lake. I've fished in that giant lake once, but never been to Yellowknife. You had to fly in at the time. It's very far north. The Dene First Nations are a big part of the city and the industry and tourism in the aria. The stunning beauty of this part of the world is something I only got 3 days to experience in a fishing camp. My entire life I've wanted to travel there and see the city. 2 Cardiff , Wales. It's their capital city and a lot of historic buildings can be seen. It's also where the mythical Torchwood was located and I'd like to visit the location they used as well. There are stunning countryside to see outside the city as well. It is home to some world class dining and amazing pubs to visit. The rich history alone is a draw for me. 3 London , England. The capital city of the UK, home to Buckingham Palace, The Tower of London, and many other hi...

Write about someone who inspires you. Not going to name any names, but people who know me might think it's several people, as I tend to know a lot of people who inspire me. This is going to be a bit of a cheat - it's going to be the conglomeration of several people instead of just picking one of them to write about. Not to the letter of the prompt, to to the spirit of it. We will call the person, "Tim." Time worked very hard for a long time in order to help others in need. He never left a loved one or friend go without the help they needed unless he literally could not help for some reason. Time also shared his home with relatives would could not afford to live on their own, even to the point the place became crowded. Time gave his time to food pantries and his church to help with things he was able to do for the community. Unfortunately, Tim could not help everyone that asked for his help, because things have gotten far out of hand in our economy and too many people ...

Deep Dream Generator and it's Fake Signatures on Images

Image
This is my issue with Deep Dream Generator - it puts fake signatures on images at random. You can tell it no text and no signature all you want, but it will do it anyway. Being I'm using these mostly for puzzles, it's not a bother, but I'd rather it not be there. I've stopped filling in the negative prompts because it won't bother do follow instructions. I've only seen a couple other AI do this, and they are advertising themselves that way - this on the other hand is totally pointless. If I had a paid account I'd be completely pissed it used my points and gave me a fake signature. I made 3 of these flower ones and all of them have a different signature for no valid reason. It happens way more often if you want it to make a painting instead of something more realistic looking. I've had it put up to 3 signatures on the same image as well. Most of the time it's not a real name or anything that makes sense.

What are your top 5 pet peeves? 1. That humanity has always allowed it's self to be manipulated, controlled, abused and enslaved by the people we allowed to collect most of the wealth. 10% of people own 90% of everything. Now they are flexing their power and people are just taking it up the A** from them and a tone of people look up to them like they are Gods and did something special - they where given wealth for the most part and then crushed people to collect disgusting amounts of wealth while helping not one person with it. 2. Hate and those that exploit it for power, or just to satisfy an empty spot in their dark hearts - even though it never fulfills them. Millions have died because of the manipulation of peoples anger and turning it to hate. Modern times is no better, we still do it and most of the time the world looks the other way. 900,000 people murdered in case in my lifetime, and no one sent an army to stop it, because they had nothing we wanted. 3. Now stuff less heavy...
