In my 50s, I still find myself re-exploring old hobbies.   Drawing, dancing, action figures, video games, movies. DJing has come and gone in my life. Lately, it’s been beatmaking, and now it's rapping. With the use of AI, ChatGPT specifically, I can turn a journal entry into a rap song.   Here's the video.    Here are a pictures of my original journal entry.     I put this into ChatGPT, and it gave me back these lyrics. I have since edited these lyrics to fit better with what I’m trying to say.   [Verse 1 – Rap] Almost 50,  thinking how I want to live Senior life coming,  What’s the plan to give? Retire or keep working,  mind in debate Isolation creeping,  Won’t let it grow Won’t let it dictate... no, no Friends for every passion,  Every lane I ride Hard to keep ’em close There’s no extra time.

  My Mid-Year eBay Update: Why Selling the Stuff You Already Own Is Still One of the Easiest Side Hustles If you’ve ever looked around your home and thought,  “I really need to get rid of some of this stuff,”  you may be sitting on an opportunity to make extra money.

Progress Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect Earlier this year, I shared that I had sold my first nine items of 2026. Since then, I’ve continued listing items whenever I could. I haven’t been as consistent as I’d like to be—I usually manage about 10-12 new listings each month, although my goal is to list at least one item every day. Even witho...

  Masters of the Universe Review: Can He-Man Bring Back the Magic? By Paul Perez  There are some movies you watch because you want to see a good story.   And then there are movies you watch because you want to feel something.   For me,   Masters of the Universe   falls into that second category.   I grew up with He-Man in the 1980s. Along with   Transformers   and   G.I. Joe , these were the characters and worlds that helped define my childhood.
