Just a Note

Artist S. KOIDL

My day job responsibilities  ‘expanded’ into another department,  so I was off schedule this last week and I might be starting on the 13th too.

The plus side is nothing is ‘new’ in what I’m doing, but how I use the info is-.

Do you want to know something super funny?

I could be working at home part time and I turned that down.

I know.

I’m a weirdo.

It Has Come To This

I have decided

that if I can believe in  ghoulies

and  ghosties and things that go bump in the night

I can believe in people too.

Sunday Mourning

I wrote this based on a conversation I had with a friend over 40 years ago.

My friend had stopped by for a visit. She was living a hard life and married to a good for nothing biker dude. She had a son and her son was about three at the time.

I walked her out to her car and before she got in she told me, ” sometimes I wish it would snow and me and ( her husband and son ) would see it through our bedroom window and we  feel warm and peaceful and happy and then we would fall asleep and never wake up again.

That was the saddest conversation I have ever had in my life.

Last night

I had a dream that the world had ended.

In my dream I wasn’t sure if it had just ended or if it had ended 50 years ago.

The houses and trees and even the sky  above me were covered with dust and the air was

still

( if there was any air at all ).

And I thought I would feel a little sad

maybe even a little scared or lost that the world had ended so quietly

and the only person left to mourn it was me

because

 al I felt was relief

sweet, sweet relief

that it was gone,

It’s Alive

I tried to find a good quote about Artificial Intelligence to pair up with this artwork which was created by AI.

The problem was, I couldn’t find one.

I suppose I should ask my computer to come up with one.

ANYWAY

AI was asked to  recreate human faces based on artwork and it did.

I couldn’t have imagined what AI saw- and I really wish I could have.
