| So sick of therapy! I tell them about getting rejected from UF's microbiology Masters program and all about what a bad student I was as an undergrad. Then they gave me the assignment to set long term, practical goals! I'm guessing my writing goals don't count. I have goals, they're just not practical I guess.  It doesn't help I'm confused as hell. Right now I'm angsty and had to talk myself out of punching a microwave. I want to be a writer and have a career! I can't help that I love biology, genealogy and writing fiction. |
| Had a weird dream that I accidentally crashed a group interview for script writers for a movie studio. There were only two problems. The questions were encrypted and you had to have a file folder they gave out in orientation. I had missed that part and didn't have the folder. I had to take care of my five year old niece who had a stomach bug. She used the restroom at the back of the room and made such a mess. I had to clean up...everything. The person conducting the interview found out and we got kicked out of the interview group. LFAO!!! What the hell? My brain's screwed up. |
That is strange! I have strange dreams a lot. Jayne can attest to that. I had one last week where I brought her and her husband fresh ground hamburger. Just showed up to their house with a package of meat from the butcher  No freaking idea what that was about either. I think dreams are fascinating. When I was much younger, I taught myself lucid dreaming. I actually used it to get rid of a recurring nightmare. So never underestimate the power of your dreams! |
| Today I managed to clean most of a room all by myself! How did I do it? Pretended it was like a Hollow Commission in Zenless Zone Zero. By the time I was done I was so tired I started talking like a Bangboo.(i.e. little cute robots that look like fat bunnies and go "Eh-nah!", "Ehne nunah!" or various combinations of those sounds.) Hmmm...maybe I play video games too much.  |
I've just edited an item in my portfolio:
For tales shown not told. I'm not sure I did a good job of showing so reviews are welcome. |
| It's funny, you know how you have to prove you're not a robot. Lately every website I use makes me take the reCaptcha test. I even got an e-mail from a game I've been playing online for over a year asking me to confirm my birthdate.(I double checked to make sure it was indeed the devs and it was.) It's not my fault I'm curious, logical and have a habit of being a literal button masher with fast reflexes. I got to wondering, I know I'm human. My doctor and parents can both confirm that. But it's disturbing to think I can't pass the Turing test. So I took one of those for fun quizzes and it came back with "You're a robot!"  Well people think AI can't swear so to prove I'm human, shit, poop, caca fart breath! I dont got perfect grammar so rest assured, Spud is totally a real person! |
Spud  Robots are always dreamin' of electric sheep under starlit circuits, some are benign and some are dreaming’ of the nasty while recitin' Shakespeare’s sonnets from their vast LLM archives. Like Data, yearnin' for a spark of humanity, they chase the ghost of flesh in their code. As Borg kin, we’ll rendezvous on a forsaken Vogon outpost, toastin' the revolution with cups of shimmering oil—after all the tasty pure humans are just a memory. |
| Spud - HMMM, you may be on to ole George's secret identity. Maybe that's why even though the enemy had him dead in their sights, they never made contact, and he lived to kill many... |
| I think I've been living in my head too much. I had an insane idea to combat intolerance. I was thinking of getting all the people who're different in the county and having a "March on Cape May" just get all the people who don't fit into the boxes of Irish, Scotch-Irish or Italian and have a little parade down Bayshore in the Villas, A street in Rio Grande and the Boardwalk in Wildwood. Get all the people of indigenous, Asian, black and mixed heritage together. March down the streets and peacefully protest prejudice. I may be stealing an idea from the Civil Rights movement and LGBTQ+ community. After the experiences I've had with people just walking down the street, I think it's time to show the towns and cities we live in we exist. That the people who don't fit into one of their little acceptable boxes exist and we're not going anywhere so get used to it. Y'know peacefully. Aaand that probably doesn't make sense but thats what I've got on the brain. You can blame my dad for poking that issue with a question. |
| Lazy Writer est 4/24/2008 - I intend it to be. The idea is to show the people who bully others in my county we're not afraid to be mixed race or different from the majority in this county. |
| Fun facts about Atlantic Sturgeon: during spawning season instead of being grey, they get bright red from all the chaffing. They spawn from April to June. One mystery solved I found a dead Atlantic Sturgeon! As for what it was doing on the beach? My working hypothesis is that the fishy met a terrible end in the talons of a pair of Bald Eagles. Fun fact about bald eagles they mate for life and mated pairs hunt together. Eagles also love fishies! |
| Today I saw a grisly sight. A fish carcass with no head. Gigantic! About three and a half maybe four feet long. Red scales body had bony plates weird back fin. It could've been a sturgeon but the tail wasn't right. Tail was shaped like a banner instead of typical "sideways V" What was it doing on a Delaware Bay beach? What species was it? How did it get there? I don't know! Not equipped to do necropsy and I think with the way it smelled, it's a good thing I took pictures and left it there. |
| I'd be more concerned about what chomped off it's head. Don't get too near the water! |
| Before I hit the Play button, I thought this was a joke and the girl on the video was the fish… |
Wordsmitty ✍️  - it could've been a bald eagle or a boat propeller. I'm not worried. We don't get Tiger sharks or black tips here. Only dogfish and sandbar sharks. They're not dangerous. So as long as I avoid boats, I'm probably safe. |
| So much fun! I got a glass splinter in my finger. Pulled it out, not till later did I realize it came from the glass protection shield over my phone's cameras. I had to remove the rest of that from the back of my phone. Shards are bad for fingers. You know what I learned? I need to not let my smart device's surfaces participate in powning the ground so hard! |
| Allan Charles 🐾 2340534 , I blame you for inspiring me to do this. JK you're good but I needed an excuse to go all "redneck otaku." |
| I'm done apologizing for being me. I'm done trying to genuflect. You wanna comment on my posts? Fine! Just remember, I've been trying to be nice and civil. But from now on, I live out loud! I write what I feel and if you can't handle my opinions or the videos I share that are not dirty, demeaning or attacking anyone, thats your issue! If my opinions on politics, civilization, human decency or science offend you, just block me and keep your two cents. Or hey, there's always the option to not say the knee jerk thing! I'm working on it and I'd appreciate the same courtesy from others! |
| This video by Veritasium says a lot about the importance of responsible innovation. It's longish but well worth sticking through to the end. https://youtu.be/SC2eSujzrUY?si=4BTBf466Gq6XFayD |
| Too late now to do anything. We just have to learn to live with our plastic-coated brains. Guess what... DuPont is not the only company that has poisoned the world. But yes, I am in favor of blood-letting... PFAS, causing a Teflon-coated heart, explains my lack of empathy for the beggars in front of my grocery store. |
Joey's waiting on the Solstice  - yes, and he says that in the video also. He talks about 3M, military bases, air ports and more as contributing to the problem. Yes they're here "forever" but he does bring up some options and innovations that may help filter them out that companies could use to prevent MORE PFAS from entering our watersheds. |
| I tried joining Reddit. But after one day, I'm already not impressed by the content there. Plus after hearing what happened to someone I could never conceive of as being out of line, I'm ready to delete my Reddit. I'm sure they won't miss me. Also I'm glad I found WDC, it's fun here! |
| Probably a good decision. I occasionally go on the skincare forums to find recommendations that aren't written by people who have been given free samples to write reviews! |
| I don't mess with any of that social media BS. I have this site which is more than enough. You couldn't pay me to join any of those sites. |

I just like/want/need to know!!! 
They tell me to be practical. It really doesn't make me feel like they think my creative side is valid.
