Youth Pastor (POEM - Trigger Alert)

Youth Pastor
David S Nicholson

 Reaching for God.
Looking for an answer.
The fire in my heart.
A leader to look up to.
Alone in his house.
He shows me his gun.
He takes off his shirt.
I know what he wants.
I pretend it’s OK.
But it’s only because of who he is.
Then I run and I tell.
Next week in youth group they look at my strange.
One won’t look at me at all.
I turn away for many years.
I hate myself because of him.
I wanted to kill him.
I wanted to die.
Then I learned to forgive and the pain vanished.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

What's On For New Years Eve 2024?

Image
New Years Eve will be celebrated with a pizza, wings, and a bottle of Coke. Normally I get drunk that night, but maybe not this time - Not promising I won't however, there is the possibility I will change my mind and order vodka. But in any event, I have not had Coke in over 6 months, and want some rather a lot. The pizza is something I've had many times in the past few years and I really enjoy it. The wings are also very nice, but not as fun as the pizza to me. The dip is for the pizza crusts. I don't do the countdown thing at all, I just set my phone to go off at midnight then think, "Well, I survived another year, I hope to God the next one is better." So far the next one has never been better in the last 5 years or so. There will also be music all night on my headphones of course. I don't do the resolution thing at all and haven't for over 25 years - I find them to be pointless, as most of the time people break them in short order.

A Blog In 3 Parts (WIFI, Worm, RIP)

Image
  Well, if you are into True Crime or just history, you may know who Ed Gein was - He was the real Leather Face and a horrific monster. This is NOT the same spelling but I had to capture it when I spotted it on the phone when looking for the Open WiFi. I showed it to a friend and he had no idea why I was amused. Well, just now I drank my tea to the last drop and then I saw it, a bloody worm in the bottom of the cup. This is a very old building and with that, you tend to get things like carpet beetles and so on. This is probably the larva for one. The beetles are why clothing doesn't last as long in an old apartment building, the things chomp on it. Any natural fabric they will go after. I was a bit freaked out, but not on the edge of barfing or anything. So now the tea is sealed in a container and the cups will NOT be left face up again. I tend to check my comments on my phone, and I tend to upload my Vlogs from my phone. Well Andy died last week, and now I see his face every time ...

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."
