I don’t think I am an authority on anything. There’s always more to learn about all subjects. I expect that once you think you have the answers, that’s when reality jumps up and bites you on the ass and proves you wrong.
Being an authority on a subject feels like a goal that is worth striving for, but realistically can never be achieved.
How’s that for deep thinking, eh? Did the idiot trick anyone into thinking he’s smart? No? Okay, I guess it was worth a shot.
Not much today. Two new song ideas. Just a handful of eight bar noodles that I can stitch together to make a couple of song forms.
There might be some guitar tracking tomorrow. I hope so, at least.
I need to shoot film!!!
I need to get outside and shoot film again. I’m going stir crazy with all these raining, cloudy, miserably awful weather days. Spring was a bust and Summer isn’t looking much better.
This is another difficult question. Why? Why isn’t this an easy question. It should be, shouldn’t it?
Also, is the answer the same as yesterday’s gratitude question? Is the answer kindness, love, attention, affection, patience? All things I know I am capable of that I fear I fail to do at literally every opportunity?
Is the end result of this silly writing prompt game going to be discovering that I really am a terrible person? I’m afraid it might be.
Once again I asked Google Bard for it’s thoughts and now I feel like an even crummier person somehow.

As expected, working in the office meant I was in the car commuting when I normally would be trying to make a little music so there wasn’t a lot of progress made on the current musical challenge.
I did come up with three little eight bar noodles that may be worked into a song somehow. Better that than nothing, right?
Do you think I have a problem?
Someone is up to no good.
This is a tough one. How do I express my gratitude? I have never thought about it before. Is the way that I think I express gratitude the same as the way I actually express it? I like to think that I am quick to say thank you when it’s warranted. I like to think that I repay kindness with kindness. I like to think that I pay random kindness forward, you know… randomly.
I’ve never given this much thought before. Here’s hoping I’m not the kind of asshole who thinks he’s thankful but acts like he’s an arrogant prick and does not express it. I don’t want to be that guy, but I fear I might be.
Because I don’t really know what my answer is, let’s ask Google Bard for an appropriate answer, shall we?
There are many ways to express gratitude, but some of the most common and effective methods include:
- Saying “thank you” sincerely. This is the simplest and most direct way to show your appreciation. When you say “thank you,” make sure to mean it and to look the person in the eye.
- Writing a thank-you note. A handwritten note is a more personal and thoughtful way to express your gratitude. Take some time to write a few sentences about what you appreciate about the person or their actions.
- Doing something nice for them. This could be anything from cooking them dinner to giving them a massage. Showing someone that you appreciate them by doing something nice for them is a great way to express your gratitude.
- Giving them a gift. A gift doesn’t have to be expensive to be meaningful. A small token of your appreciation, such as a plant, a book, or a piece of jewelry, can show someone that you’re thinking of them.
- Volunteer your time. If you’re grateful for something someone has done for you, you can show your appreciation by volunteering your time to a cause they care about. This is a great way to give back and make a difference in the world.
No matter how you choose to express your gratitude, make sure it’s genuine and from the heart. When you express gratitude, you’re not only making the other person feel good, you’re also making yourself feel good. Gratitude has been shown to have many benefits for both the giver and the receiver, including improved mood, increased happiness, and stronger relationships.
Here are some additional tips for expressing gratitude:
- Be specific. Don’t just say “thank you.” Take the time to explain what you’re grateful for.
- Be timely. Don’t wait too long to express your gratitude. The sooner you do it, the more meaningful it will be.
- Be personal. Make it personal by sharing why you’re grateful for the person or their actions.
- Be genuine. Make sure your gratitude is genuine and from the heart.
Expressing gratitude is a simple but powerful way to show appreciation for the people and things in your life. By following these tips, you can make your expressions of gratitude more meaningful and impactful.

One day of the 50 songs in 90 days challenge is down. Well, it will be in about 2.5 hours, but I am definitely done for the day so I’m calling it now.
How did I do on this rainy and dreary 4th of July?
Not bad, if I do say so myself. Three songs underway. No guitars or voices or actual real life musical instruments yet, but all three songs already have all of the changes, the song form, a guide guitar (MIDI only) track, a vocal melody, and complete lyrics.
Like I said, not too bad.
Day two probably won’t have much of anything as it’s a work-from-the-office day, but at least day one went well.
How’s this for a banger of a daily question, eh? What am I most worried about for the future?
Everything. Literally everything. 52 years old and the only thing that surprises me is that I am not six feet four inches of walking, talking ulcer due to constantly worrying about literally everything.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg, I think. Just the first few things that popped into my mind when I read the writing prompt. I am sure if I sit here and stress over it I could increase the length of that list by 9000% or so.
Suffice to say, worrying is more or less my personal national pass time. I’m good at it. It comes naturally to me.
