im actually excited and proud of the concept thought experiment in this early morning guess at where we’re headed. Im building my own Terminator just in case.
Fiction
I don’t blog fiction all that much, but sometimes I just get an idea for a story and start typing.
The Karen Incident
A simple scenario I created on a website designed to help people deal with Karen customers. This is the way I might have handled it. Am I wrong?
I am a dog. I am a cat
A quick post about my life and my similarities to how I see the pets around me
Cows roast chickens
The second in a series of cows roasting the chickens with bad humor
Chicken roast
An animated story that continues the age old freud between chickens and cows.
Rooster adoption
A script for a parody of an adopt a rooster commercial.
A new kind of shared post
New idea sharing. Milestone or next abandoned project
Story ideas to abandon
The first draft of an interactive game where each episode ends with two choices. It is based on a concept from a telephone game I played in the ’80s on star phone called Star Commander.
My new business idea. Counting Cows Comedy Tour
In an imaginary universe I could make money getting individuals to help me find the 13 cows that often are difficult to locate. So I used AI to help me with my imagination.
One of the upcoming wars.
After centuries of living together as roommates on this planet, we still struggle with borders and fight for ideas nobody seems to be truly happy without somebody to put down and feel superior to. We politely agree to share a math and a calendar, and most have settled in on a standard of measurement and temperature but the need to hold on to beliefs and cling to languages and culture is often...
It’s Your Fault 2024
AI Character talking heads describe my 20 year old game for the new generation. It’s always been your fault.
Stand up comedy in Second Life
Alright, folks, gather around for a tale that's part "Black Mirror" and part "Weekend at Bernie's"! So, imagine this: you kick the bucket, lights out, game over, the whole nine yards. But instead of floating up to the pearly gates or taking the fiery elevator down below, you find yourself... booting up in Second Life!Now, for those of you who haven't logged in since 2008, Second Life is like The...
One of my Public Domain Scripts is on YouTube.
I have 6 public domain sketch comedy skits I wrote when I was 16 and because I released them to “public domain” they have actually been shockingly popular for creative use by schools, theatre groups, video makers and clubs all over the world. This is one.
Justin the Clocktower hero
This original story idea has been in my brain for several years. I decided to give an AI writing assistant the task of generating the story based on my specifications.
The AI primarily wrote the following story and then I adjusted and corrected it to match my original storyline. I’m happy with how it turned out as a story leaving open the door to create more stories about how Jack became a secret superhero, solving crimes and doing good.
An old idea finally realized
I had this idea for a video a few years back, but thanks to today's AI lipsync technology and a plethera of free voice clones online, I was able to finally see it completed.
David Attenborough Explains the Urban Sloth
I am more like a sloth than a cheeta.
Chat bot Chat
I wanted a new project that wasn't going to take forever and didn't include drug use so that I could share it more openly. I decided to let chat GPT assist and I asked it to write a short script where four characters discovered that they could hear each other in the computer...
It’s your fault. (thinking chat game)
When I was in elemetary school, a friend and I invented a thinking game to play every day on the hour long bus ride to school. It is called; "It's your fault" and I still play it today when chat people send me a message starting with "it's your fault". Tonight, I couldn't sleep so I taught the game to Chat GPT and it did quite well. Training We each take turns trying to pass the blame...
The Trust Issue
I have known two friends in my life that don’t love themselves. They have not been overly successful in finding partners because of this. This little story came to me after a dream and I am debating whether to share it with them or not.
Backstage Party
A short film by me staring various crazy characters on my staff.
Fourth Wall Air BNB
Knock knock Hello . Mr Gordon? Yes . I'm here about renting the airbnb you listed (Opens door) Oh interesting. It's not quite what I imagined No? No In what way? Well, for starters, there doesn't seem to be a ceiling. That seems a bit unusual. You might have mentioned that in the listing. Oh. I guess it never occurred to me you'd want that. This way, the acoustics are much better. Listen; la la...
Dear sir
I have been waiting 4 to 6 weeks already for delivery of my bumper sticker and sweater pin that say; I've been scammed. It has not yet arrived,but my credit card was charged. I paid the extra to get an orange check mark next to my name on Facebook and that has not happened yet either. This is my third letter to you with no response. I am very upset.
My Broken Home
(set is minimal. Preferred, three walls and a table with two chairs) (Couple enters. Each line is the other character in a conversation)) Oh wow. I love it. We should make an offer before it sells. I don't know. I have a problem with it. It only has three walls. What do you mean? Doesn't that bother you? On;y having three walls? I don't understand. Everything only has three walls. I understand...
Going to see {Deleted}
I don't think I'd call it a nightmare. It's more of a frustration dream, complete with the sideways elevator. A bunch of my familiar friends went to see a movie in an unknown mall. The theatre had 14 screens and none of us had heard anything about even one of the film titles playing. This is a very real side effect caused by moving away from cable/network television with commercials to Netflix....
Meme Cops
I woke up but didn't open my eyes yet. The dream I was having deserved more time, so I stayed in a not quite awake state to develop it more. It started in our high school library, where we were sitting down to eat lunch, the story is still incredibly detailed in my mind but I fear I'll lose it soon as I regain my daytime consciousness, so I'll just tell the highlights. Phil was wearing an...
The Conversation Room
You see an online virtual mall filled with flashy storefronts and top notch animated advertisements everywhere. You walk down the pathway in awe at how many options there are to spend money on a seperate universe. You see a new store is opening up where the old bookstore used to be. The Conversation Room doors open soon. Nobody knew what it was. There were guesses and bar bets placed. They were...

Day 1. Orientation.
I heard a distinct Bing sound and that was the first time I was aware of anything. Everything was black and I couldn't really feel inside myself. It's a hard to describe a concept unknown to anyone. If a blind person asked you what blue was you would describe things that were blue, which would be useless. I just was. A thought hearing a ding. Attention. Attention. I'm Doctor Phillips and I have...
The Clock Tower Hero
A man died yesterday. I didn't know him personally, but the whole town was familiar with him. Mr Roggers. He was was the caretaker of the town watchtower where Mr Pabst lived. The two were best friends for longer than I remembered, and either one or the other was always seen around town being nice and generous and helpful. My Pabst was the town rich man. He used his wealth mainly within the...
The Caretaker
Chapter one. Once upon a time. In a small town just north of Thunder Bay there was an old fairy tale that has been told for generations about the story of the town's clocktower. It stood at the base of the main street and was older than photography so nobody really knows. Experts have studied its architecture but it remains unique in this world. Its most unusual feature is that instead of having...
Charlie’s Message
[Written in 2003 and just found recently] E: Tell me again Uncle Charly. I am just not getting it. No, of course you’re not, and there-in lies the problem on so many levels. You’re not getting it. I’m not sure if you will ever understand it. And that’s scary. But that’s it. I don’t see what the big deal is. People will still keep doing what they’re doing now. You’d...

The Orange Shirt Creative Community
My idea for the moment. Everyone needs a good community. A group of friends to share ideas and do stuff with. People who care about you and keep you distracted and fun on a lonely evening. Everyone, but specially awkward singles of any age. I propose an online community idea that could be done easily and cheaply but benefit a whole lot of people. This proposal was written on weed with...
It’s not real money. It’s Monopoly Money
I take a drug called Paxil for obsession. I missed one day and had the most obsessive dreams I could imagine. I woke up just now at 6 minutes to 6 am from an obsessive nightmare. My things were gone. All the useless things. The things I'd been collecting. I had bought a beautiful wooden chest that had a variety of drawer sizes from small to large, tall and thin. In each drawer, a collection of...
The script of my dream
I dream quite a lot, primarily because I tend to sleep quite a lot. I often remember them when I wake and sometimes they're worth writing down or posting to Facebook. Today I decided to blog my dream because it relates to my web site in a way. On my home site http://frogstar.com I have a number of royalty-free simple comedy scripts that seem quite popular. I released the skits to public domain...
How I became a Sidekick
My name is Richard, and this isn't really my story, but it's such a great story, it needs to be told and since I'm the only other person on Earth that know it, the task falls to me. In a way, I feel a bit like Dr Watson, who wrote all the adventures of his best friend Sherlock Holmes, except I'm not a fictional British doctor, but a real 17-year-old kid from Waterloo. You might not have heard of...
Fiction first draft #3
Ron walks onto the stage from the left and the screen is so big you don't realize its a man right away. The spotlight Jon was operating from the balcony found him, and he turned on the microphone. Hello everyone. Thank you for coming tonight. I know it's short notice but I only do this once every seven years and I don't want an audience that bought tickets in advance. I show this film tonight to...
I’ve been actively not going to sleep since 2 but just now I felt it. I bumped way too much for a Monday. I should. Ding

That Multi-Use Urban Park. Spring Love.
I just witnessed one of the coolest things ever. It seems the park bench I chose to sit on, in the shaded section of an urban strip park comes with a show. The park is approximately the width of a street, and I suspect at one time it probably was, or a service lane that often exists behind a more commercial main road. Nicely architected with green grass and lots of trees and benches that line...
What if.
Second Life Story. I wished this and I am now a real sick person about to die. I am now living in this universe with this awareness. I have chosen to live in this linden home for 24 hours. Sirens. Maybe not. I like it. The big brother parody home game. It's you alone. Hi. This one is me alone. I think it's right there for some people. She laughs because she's not sure if he's joking, or really...
and then there was a knock.
Written in the first person as Orange Jeff, living in the alternate Universe of Second Life. I was sitting there for, oh I don't know how long. Sometimes I just stare off into... well, at that wall there actually, but in my mind, I can daydream. You bet we daydream in here. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Oh crap... if I couldn't daydream. Well... I mean, this is a...
Heard inside Second Life. Avatar Life
I’m glad I remembered the title because there was lemon cake and … well.. Lemon cake. The origin story of lemon cake for me, goes all the way back to when I never learned gradients. Lemon cake was always just awesome. Those that I might grade as very different qualities today were ignored as a young child not having a lot of conversations with my parents. My Mom did make a special lemon pound...
Act Two. It’s really worth finding act one.
I grab a handful of Hershies kises from my salad bowl. I have admired that Hersheys kisses may be cute and addictive but I admire their shape because I bleieve it is engeniered to allow for a specific maximum per grab. I walk away with a serving size of chocolate. If they were any other shape, I'd have to self discipline my portions. I always ate Dad's shortbread chocolate chip cookies. Item #3...
Fiction attempt first draft
Oh, I didn't expect you to pick up. Yeah, funny how that shift in the world. What? Neermind... I just took a second to admire the somewhat brief history of the telephone. I wonder how many people were close to the gold winner of official hisorical figure to attribute a prime invention to. Old Jeff learned the inventors we have chosen to tell their stories, may not have been fairly the only one...
Fiction: My pet project story.
Jeffrey Banon's doorbell rang at 7am but nobody remembers because that didn't leave enough time, so 16 minutes later, it rang an hour earlier at 6am. One ding. After a suitable pause, old Mr Tyson began to doubt his ding. Maybe the doorbell doesn't work. I'm not sure why I doubt it. Experience however tell me I do. An unusually large percentage of all the doorbell I've pushed, didn't ding. It is...

Dear Jeff Goebel
Dear Jeff Goebel. I don’t know if you are the right one, but I am near death, and have run out of time searching for the right Jeff Goebel, and so I used the Internet to send this letter to all of them at once. For one of you, it will mean more than the others. If you have ever seen a science fiction show where some supernatural secret is exposed, the people involved usually take the news...
