more words more thoughts

In the future when AI controls the world will we still need to write down our thoughts?  

 

It moose be done

I'm not using AI to write a post. However, I might steal some words from lyrics that I find have meaning.

 

for example - "I don't know when that road turned into the road I'm on." (thanks Jackson Brown) 

 

Actually I'm thankful to be on a road and not stuck in a ditch spinning my wheels. I even have a traveling companion now so life is good. I thought I might write something about aging but I forgot what it was. Oh aging.

 

"Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now" (thanks Bob Dylan) 

 

Isn't it odd, that when I was young I wanted to act older. Now that I'm older I try to act younger. My mind thinks young but my joints tell me otherwise.

 

"I don't need you to worry for me, 'cause I'm alright."

(thanks Billy Joel)

 

But I'm running behind. 

round numbers

You know the numbers with big round zeros on the end, such as 70, 80, or even 100. I've had 7 of the decade numbers go by. Overall, this makes me feel fortunate.

 

 

 

2000? It wasn't the end of world. Maybe just the start of it's downfall?

 

We all learn to count in base 10, or decimal. Many of you might know there are other useful numbering systems. Hexadecimal is base 16. Hex numbers are used in computer code because it is easier to write long strings of 1's and 0's. The 10 in hex is 16 in decimal. What if counted our years in hex?

 

Using the hexadecimal system, I don't think I would ever reach 70 hex (112 decimal). I hope to reach 50 hex which is 80 decimal. However our minds would adjust to the this system. Before long 50 hex would feel and be consider really old.

 

Are you still with me? 

Did you make it pass the nerdy math talk?

 

Recently, I found a Dire Straits song titled "Why Worry". The lyrical parts are shorter than the instrumental parts. 

My favorite phrase from the song:

 

Why worry?

There should be laughter after pain

There should be sunshine after rain

These things have always been the same

So why worry now?

 

  

Life is strange, dreams are stranger.

You don't need to live long before you realize life is strange. Good people die and bad people live.

 

As you cruise along a smooth highway an idiot flies around you and cuts you off. Too many clowns for just one circus.

 

However, our dreams are even stranger and often scary. I woke up today angry from a nightmare (is 'nightmare' the right word for a frustrating nonsensical dream?).

 

your destination appears far and difficult

Years ago I combined bits of my dreams with my imagination and created a nightmare. Here's the post of it: "free nightmare for the taking".
