Suno


 Create your own AI songs with just a few words!

I've been playing on this for quite sometime and love it. In fact, I listen to my playlist more than my streaming music at this point. 

Make up silly songs for you and your friends. It's a blast. Nothing R rated though....yes, I tried. 

Have a good weekend folks!

Beef (review)


 Heard some good things about this show so I thought I'd give it a try. 

Not bad. A story about how a road rage incident turned into a revenge war between two people who didn't like where they were in life but oddly got satisfaction after getting one over on their opponent. 

Strong start but the ending got a too dark (in general, not the revenge plots) and took the series in a different direction which I felt, didn't mesh with the overall tone of the series. 

In the end, sadly, I can't recommend it. Good idea, they just couldn't stick the landing.

MAKING the time

 

Another thing I've worked on myself over the past few years and clarifying my language to be more truthful. 

Whenever we don't get around to doing certain things, the cliche thing to say is "I didn't have the time" But the fact is...you did, you just didn't care to spend it doing that thing. 

So instead, I say "I didn't MAKE the time" which is the truth. Now, if I take the time to get something done, I know I made it. But saying "I didn't have the time" is a phrase I'm fading out of my dialogue.

Walking the talk


 I'm trying to do better at times when I tell someone "we should hang out sometime" or "We need to catch up sometime, I'll call you!" but never do. 

I hate that a lot of us say that but never follow up. So whenever I'm the one making the statement, I make sure to follow through. 

Recently, received a text from an old friend and told him I'd call him. Even with the best intentions, I didn't call until 3 weeks later. 

Another friend and I talked about having lunch and it took a month for me to finally get around to asking him. I felt bad about it. 

Now once I send an invite and he declines, I'm off the hook as far as I'm concerned. But if they follow up, I'll surely reschedule. Same with phone calls. 

It's just something I'm trying to change in my life to make me a better person and not someone who says he'll do something and doesn't.

Peking (review)


 Took me a while, but I finally checked off the last place on my list of restaurants I haven't been to in decades. 

This was a super popular buffet back in the day which has now been reduced to one abandoned looking location that I at first thought was closed just looking at it. 

But when I saw customers walk out, I saw they were open. 

No crowd....never a good sign. 

To be honest, the food isn't bad. Regular fair really. The eggrolls weren't crisp and the egg drop soup was sad but everything else was pretty standard to what you'd see in these type of buffets. 

Would I go back? No. It wasn't special enough for me. But at least I tried it and knocked it off my list of places to visit.

Sinners (review)



After so many recommendations I finally got the chance to watch this movie. 

Very good. Artistic and fun at the same time. Mid-credits scene put it over the top for me. My nephew even said it was the best vampire movie he's ever seen. And I have to agree, it's up there. Very well done. Original story about vampires. 

Worth your time for sure. 

Have a good weekend folks!

Podnahs (review)


 Forgot to upload this review when I went last month but long story short - 

I haven't been to this place in a couple of decades and have been wanting to try it out again. First off, the people were great. Really nice and even got the chicken leg for free when I told them I hadn't been in a while. 

The meat is excellent, the beans....just as perfect as I remember but that BBQ sauce is OFF THE CHAIN!!! I couldn't believe how much I loved it. 

Excellent. Will go again some day soon.
