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....

The Bathroom: A Parent’s Escape?

Do you remember when the bathroom use to be a place where you could get away from the all the world’s problems? A nice quiet bubble bath, a hot shower, perhaps catch up on some reading while sitting on your throne. If this all sounds nostalgic to you, then you must have young children. Because all of that is a thing of the past! If you don’t have children yet, let me prepare you for what is to come: Prepare to have an audience . Yes, an audience. If you have any stage fright issues when it comes to going to the bathroom get over it. Because all eyes will be on you. Being stalked. Yes, prepare to be stalked into the bathroom by your little one. You and your little shadow will arrive at the same time and sometimes they even like to jump on the toilet before you get a chance and pee all over the seat. Shouting thru doors . If you can actually make it to the bathroom alone and are able to shut the door (and lock it if you are lucky enough to have ...

Do You Remember these 7 Discontinued McDonald’s Menu Items?

McDonald’s has introduced many new items to their menu over the years. Some have been successfully and some have “McFlopped”. Here’s a look back at 7 discontinued McDonald’s menu items that didn’t make the cut. Onion Nuggets Introduced in the mid 70’s the Onion Nuggets may have looked like chicken, but pop one in your mouth and you got an onion surprise. McLean Deluxe In 1991 the McLean Deluxe was introduced as a healthy version of the hamburger. In fact it boasted that it was 91% fat free! How did McDonald’s lower the fat content of the traditional burger? Seaweed! But apparently Seaweed doesn’t taste that great. So bye bye McLean Deluxe. Arch Deluxe In 1996 McDonald’s introduced the world to the Arch Deluxe, a more “gourmet style” hamburger marketed towards adults. The ingredients were a quarter pound of beef, on a potato flour bun, topped with bacon, leaf lettuce, tomato, American cheese, onions, ketchup, “secret” mustard and mayonnaise sauce. The world didn’t want gourme...

A Caffeine Bar for Breakfast? Yep, that's my Routine

Most people will drink coffee in the morning to get the caffeine to wake up for the day. But, I don't like coffee. Can't stand it really. I like tea, but tea makes me have to pee way to much. I could drink a soda, but we all know soda is fattening and has way too many sugars in it. So what else is there? I need caffeine. It is my one vice I need! Don't do drugs, barely drink alcohol and I cut out drinking soda ( drink Cirkul now ), but I need caffeine to wake up! The answer for me? Clif Caffeine Bars. Now let me start by saying I am a breakfast eater, but I don't like greasy things for breakfast. Plus I want something easy I can grab fast and take it to work. That's when I found these amazing bars. Not only a bar, which tastes good, but it has caffeine in it! 65mg! That's plenty to get me going. Now originally they just had a mint version, which luckily for me I love mint. So that was my breakfast everyday. I would get my kick of energy from that bar and be go...

Oregon Trail - A Classic Game

So I was feeling a little nostalgic today. I came across the Oregon Trail game. This was one of the first games I ever played. Yes, this tells you I am old. I think I was in Kindergarten when I first played it. It was on an old computer that just had the black and green screen. I remember we were allowed to play it in Library. It was seriously so cool at the time. This was before Nintendo or Atari or anything fun like that. So I saw a pic of the game. Then I started looking it up. I came across the Visit Oregon website that had an older version of the game you could play. So of course I played it. I mean this is the most basic game you can play. Here is the Google AI explanation of it: The Oregon Trail video game is based on the historical journey of American pioneers traveling from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon Country in the mid-19th century, simulating the challenges, resource management, and decision-making necessary for survival on the arduous westward ...

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....

A New Mummy Movie is Coming - And I'm Excited!

It was announced that a new Mummy movie is coming! Several outlets have confirmed that The Mummy 4 is officially in the works, with filmmakers Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett at the helm. And the best part is, it's not a reboot, it will have the original stars, Brendan Frasier and Rachel Weisz. This was after they tried to do a reboot version of the movie starring Tom Cruise in 2017 that was not good at all. The three main movies in the The Mummy franchise are The Mummy (1999), The Mummy Returns (2001), and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008). These action-adventure films follow the adventures of Rick O'Connell (Brendan Frasier) and Evelyn Carnahan as (Rachel Weisz in the first 2 movies) they battle supernatural foes across different parts of the world, with the first film reintroducing the character of Imhotep, and the sequels continuing the story of the O'Connell family. The good news is Rachel Weisz will be back in the newest movie, with Maria Bellow, ...

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...
