Butter On My Toast - An AI Song Creation Based on High School

"Smooth but mellow, almost buttery, nutty even, with a tinge of tain." This was the crazy little line that my high school friend Eric and I would always say back in high school. I don't know where it came from, but it has always been stuck in my head... and it's many, many years later. I remember thinking to myself that I always wanted to create a song with those words. Which I am not musically inclined at all. So it was pushed back. But nowadays there is the AI options. So I was bored one night so I thought to myself let's see if AI can create a song based on this line. And here's what it came up with. The song that was never written back in 1997. Butter On My Toast. Just waiting to go straight to the top of the charts! LOL. Sing along..................................... Butter On My Toast Intro Smooth as the sunrise on a lazy day, Butter in my coffee, melting all the gray. You got that mellow, you got that groove, A little bit nutty, but I like your moves....

Dutch Letter Bars - A Recipe You Have to Try!

Dutch letters are one of my favorite sweet treats to eat. You can read more about them in a post I did on my obsession with them. So when my sister brought me some home made Dutch Letter Bars I was so excited! First of all, anyone that makes a treat for me is special, but when it's a form of Dutch Letters, well, my sister became my favorite baker of all time! So what makes these bars so good. Well, it's that almond, sugar taste that makes Dutch letters so good. But you just get a little bit more in a bar, which I'm a fan of. Plus, anyone can make the bars. Making the "S" shape of the Dutch Letter is a bit trickier. So, here is the recipe that will make you a genius in your kitchen! Dutch Letter Bars Ingredients: - 1 can almond paste - 1 cup melted butter - 2 eggs, plus 1 egg yolk - 2 cups flour -1 1/2 cups sugar - 2 teaspoons almond extract - Sliced almonds - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla - Course sugar Directions: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. In a mixer, combine ...

Swing Revival - Do you Remember the Mid 90's? Is it Time Again?

The Swing music revival that happened in the mid 90's was one of my favorite times for music. Of course I was in high school at the time, so it made since why I was so into music. It was attractive as well because it was a new kind of music at the time that nobody had hear in years. Swing music at the time, was led by the "swing revival" or "neo-swing" movement, which blended traditional swing with rock, punk, and ska influences. This resurgence brought the style to mainstream popularity through bands like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Squirrel Nut Zippers and the Brian Setzer Orchestra. It featured a combination of classic swing tunes and new songs inspired by the genre. I remember one of my favorite movies during that same time was Swingers, starring Vince Vaughn and John Favreau. It had some of that classic music in it as well. If you want a good to movie to watch and go back to that mid 90's feel, check it out. But back to the music....

Christmas Inheritance - Put it on your list to watch.

Let me take you back to 2017 when a movie starring Eliza Taylor and Jake Lacy came out. Now first of all let's get it out of the way. Eliza Taylor is the star of one of my favorite past shows called The 100. If you have never seen it and like futuristic post-apocalyptic type shows, it's definitely worth a watch. Then her co-star in the movie is Jake Lacy, who was on my favorite show The Office, on it's final season. Ok, so we got that out there, I already like the two main stars. So what's the movie about? Christmas Inheritance is about a socialite heiress (Eliza Taylor's character) who, to prove she's worthy of inheriting her father's gift company, is forced to make an incognito trip to her father's hometown to deliver a Christmas letter to his former business partner. While stranded in the small town of Snow Falls by a blizzard, she must get by with only $100 and learns the true meaning of the holidays. The movie has that Christmas charm and romance...

Eating 6 Saltine Crackers in a Minute - How Hard Could It Be?

How hard can it be to eat 6 saltine crackers in a minute. Doesn't sound hard. Of course you have to do it without any liquids. So can't down water after each one. So I imagine your mouth would get pretty dried out. But could I do it? Eating saltine crackers without water is hard because they quickly absorb saliva, turning them into a dry, crumbly mass that is difficult to swallow. The crackers are a simple starch, and without saliva to lubricate and break them down, they become like chewing paper and can be difficult to move down the throat. According to Guinness World Records the most eaten was 6 officially. But I saw many other videos out there where people got up to 12 crackers eaten in a minute. But I will stick with trying to go for 6 and see if I can even do that. Well here we go:

M&M's - What if they would of been called F&B's?

M&M's stands for Mars and Murrie, the last names of the two men who created the candy: Forrest Mars Sr. and Bruce Murrie. Forrest Mars Sr. teamed up with Murrie, the son of a Hershey Chocolate executive, to create the melt-proof chocolate in the 1940s. But, let's look at it this way. What if they decided to name the chocolates F&B's after their first names instead of their last names? Would they still be popular today? Or was it the good taste and the catchy M&M's name? Then there are the colors. The original colors of M&Ms in 1941 were red, yellow, green, brown, and violet. Violet was discontinued and replaced with tan around 1949. 1941: Red, yellow, green, brown, and violet. 1949: Violet was replaced by tan. 1976: Red was temporarily discontinued due to concerns over the red dye #2 (which M&M's never actually used) and was replaced by orange. 1987: Red was brought back. 1995: Tan was replaced by blue after a public vo...

7 Possible Scot Harvath Actors

Brad Thor is one of my favorite authors. His books are well thought out and keep you on the edge of your seat. If you have never read and love action books, give them a shot! The main character in his books is ex Navy Seal Scot Harvath. With rumors around that Harvath is coming to the big screen sometime in the future, here is a look at 7 possible Scot Harvath actors. I'm hoping the movies do finally come. They would be so good! Chris Pine Where you have seen him: Star Trek, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, This Means War Why: Brad Thor himself mentioned that Chris Pine would be a good fit to play Harvath on the big screen. Pine has shown he could play action hero in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit and can portray the smart ass side of Harvath that we all love. Jeremy Renner Where you have seen him: The Hurt Locker, The Bourne Legacy, Avengers Why: Renner gave us a glimpse of his inner Harvath in The Bourne Legacy and has proven his acting skills. Karl Urban Where you ...

30 Broganisms Taken From My Book - Brogan: Thoughts of Thomas

Are you looking for that perfect gift for someone over the holidays? How about a book for them to throw on their coffee table and to read a little bit every so often? Plus, it makes a great coaster! Well head on over to Amazon and buy a copy of my book now for less than $8.00. These are just a few of the things you can learn from my book: 1) Is it just me, or is anyone else freaked out by the "King" in the Burger King commercials? 2) Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience. 3) Marriage is when a man and a woman become as one, the trouble starts when they try to decide which one. 4) I know that I am not the only one that looks into the fridge more than just once, somehow thinking that the food fairy will deliver you some food. 5) Someone should start a business named "None" .... It would be a marketing gold mine because everyone else would be "Second to None." 6) Have you ever noticed that no matter what you bring to the office, if it...
