Use It Or Lose It

 


 First, I would like to proudly state, every word I write is mine. Every mistake, running sentence, every dangling modifier, mine.

I've been thinking just for a laugh to try an AI generated prompt to create a story. 

But, I can't do it. I don't mind using AI to create a few images. It's obvious they aren't made by human hands. It's another thing to allow a machine to write something and then take credit for it. 

No! No! No!

I get pissed when I'm writing and my autocorrect is giving me the next word to write. 

Friends, we have seen what happens when people don't use their brains. They become red hatters. They can even become the leader of a once free world that is now a dystopian society. 

I think computers are wonderful in that they can organize and give clarity to problems. I use search engines all day, every day. How else can I find out how tall Aaron Taylor Johnson is! Computers are quite handy. Yet ...

If you are using them in school to write essays, shame on you. If you are using them at work to clean up your proposal, how pathetic you are. If you are using them to write your novel, then you are a fraud, a fake, a fool and a sad sack.

I will never be a Rachel Maddow or Joan Didion. I know my limits. Whatever. I have always thought anyone who cheats or lies is only hurting themselves. The one human you should always remain true to is yourself.

I had to look up "dangling modifier". I would not have thought you had one! Then I learned what it was. Oh- the English rules stuff. I just write whatever sounds right and hope for the best.

An Empty Vessel

Image
He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Denver, Dover, Dever

Image
  OMG! Kelly Denver, I mean Dover, no, Dever was on the stand in the Karen Read Trial. Holy Moly!  In 2023, she wrote a statement claiming she saw two Canton police officers who were in the sallyport "for a wildly long time." where Karen Read's SUV had been towed. Now Devers, who gets snippy if her name is mispronounced, says that was all a false memory. She now says she wasn't even working at the time the SUV was brought in. Taking the stand on Monday, she accused the defense of angrily confronting her after learning she had changed her testimony, then Dever's states they threatened to charge her with perjury. She said she went to the FBI to make a complaint. Alan Jackson, the defense attorney asks, "Do you have a report?" Naturally, she did not, because she made no such report.  Of all the people who have pissed me off, and there is a long list, she is by far the worst. She is a cop whose recall of events is crucial. She is hostile and a terrible liar....

FAFO Literally

Image
   Gosh, well isn't that generous. $5,000.  I'm gonna go out right now and find me an Elon, ready to spare some sperm and have me some babies. I'll be rich! Oh, wait... Ooh, that's gonna put a dent in my FA for the cause. Let's see... $5,000 - $2,854 = $2,146 left for me to... Oh, wait... Hmm... so, $70 x 12 = $840, which leaves me with $1,306. So, I will need a bassinet, crib, some bedding, burpy towels, baby wipes, baby bottles, formula, breast pump, room monitor, pediatrician, onesies, uh ... I need to work! Who's going to care for my baby while I'm gone!? I'm so tired. I can't do this. The government has shut down all assistance. What am I going to do with a baby!? I think I'll go have a glass of wine with my peeps instead. *All information Googled.
