General Blog Messages
Not every blog needs its own category. A lot of the time I just start typing what I had planned for the log post isn’t what it ends up being. Most of the posts in this category should not contain a lot of heavy drug use for mentions but I can’t guarantee it.
It’s Friday – I was surprised
Friday daily obligation journal plus a musical compilation video of clips from Friday morning.
Thursday blues
Not really worthy of the 3 minutes. Blah.
Snapchat filter green screen
Simple poster promotion for the website I don’t ever promote. I suppose this is a fruitless task
I feel like a celebrity now
This is cool. There is an app called Whisper which was invented originally to be sort of a chat room that used random images based on whatever you were posting. The posts could be about 100 characters or less and they attached a random photo taken from a gallery of art. I've been posting one or two pictures a day using my own gallery as the background instead of the random photos. Among my...
My Snapchat Works Again
I'm so happy I got my Snapchat to work again. I try not to think about how I could have done it a year ago and not had to suffer with less than functional Snapchat. It's my main tool for filming fun videos with different characters and faces. Ironically I'm not a real fan of the social media version of snapchat. I just use the camera and the effects on both my phones and my desktop. My desktop...
Sunday starts with Aero
A four piece of chocolate. A pimple on my dehydrated tongue tries to spoil the enjoyment I feel from the chocolate as it melts on my mouth. It's not my regular chocolate but it's still a refreshing way to begin my day. I made it till 6:15am this morning so I suppose I could say I got to sleep in a bit. Inside my head, I seemed eager to wake up. I even dreamed it was 6am once in the night. I...
Happy Palindrome Day /420
Today is 4:20 which isn't super relevant to me since I haven't smoked weed in close to a year and even the edibles which are not considered 420 are not in my regular routine anymore. I do recognize whoever that a good percentage of my friends are within that community. I have provided...
Rejected YouTube page greeting video
One day I experimented with several types of video formats for my first impression video that would appear on my YouTube home page. This was not the one.
Snapchat Cool Tip
A Snapchat tip I didn’t know till tonight
Colourful face
I found an app on my phone that just flashes colors across the screen and they call it a flashlight
First of a few posts back to back
There are a couple of things that I would like to see improved that would help me in my daily blogging life. The Wordpress Company has put out an app called jetpack, which is a way of blogging from your phone. Unfortunately, everything is absolute trash at uploading images or videos. it has trouble even with the simplest of featured images and all. And we'll go into a loop where it's trying to...
Creator vs Spectator
I find it funny how my most popular posts, are actually just comments on other people's posts. I have received more likes for some of my comments than I have for any of my posts. Since I'm not playing the game of having the most friends or followers, despite the dopamine injection every new friend brings, it seems some people here just have a lot of followers and you make one witchy comment when...
The exact moment…
I held off my morning meth intake 60 minutes. I scrolled Facebook (mostly sidetracked by reels and then moved to Instagram. After about 7 bong hits with a bad taste because my cleaning pick wasn't within reach of my bed, I suddenly stopped scrolling because of an urge to look up apps that could remove the background on a video. I'd looked these up before, and I have, in my opinion, the best free...
The start bark.
It's 6:08am and I made a very quiet snap as I closed my bedside wYet bottle after my morning pill. Coincidence or not, it triggered the chain reaction that would begin the morning routine. A light rustling of the metal cage one floor directly above my head. There was no stopping it now. The first bark. Then a second. In the distance, the chain of events jumped to include the first bark from the...
I did clean my room
People call me a slob. I say yes. They try to continue the conversation but I have already agreed with an unexpected pride. Being a neat freak is the odd behavior in my mind.
Take Off Tuesday
It's after 9:00 PM and I just made up the name take off Tuesday, because that's what happened today. I didn't do anything on my computer at all, and that's a little bit concerning, because there was a message that needed to be tended to quickly. It's the kind of message that comes from a long time loyal customer and not replying today tests their loyalty. There was no real reason for not doing...
Read moreI think of ideas or the ending to sentences but by the time I’m typing them I no longer have confidence so I either end abruptly, change the subject, or stop blogging mid sentence.
I’m Orange Jeff
I'm Orange Jeff but you can call me OJ
I make a lot of videos
I try not to think too hard about the fact that my life is now much fuller. I'm busy from morning till night most days. I do my farm chores and talk to the camera. Those videos and clips are then thrown together with very little effort and some helpful apps and shared on YouTube with select copies shared with Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and Facebook. I am obsessed with making videos and there...

SNAPCHAT WORKS AGAIN, so here is a video about why it didn’t. Well timed.
OrangeJeff Eats
I don't always share my silly videos here but I was playing around during my lunch break and I created a bunch of new content.
Eclipse Mania
Why do we go gaga over the eclipse? Sure we don’t see one every year, but we also don’t see live Tigers and I’m happy seeing either one on TV.
Last thought equals first thought.
I was dreaming still dreaming as I woke up at 6:03am. A Radio morning show DJ was talking up the next record and I remember his hook. He said, ”and remember... Never be kind to a porcupine ". Then I woke up, grabbed my phone, and blogged this. What an unusual thing to wake up to. I'm quite curious. I have unanswered questions.
OrangeJeff is Orange Again.
have you heard the news?
What time is it?
Few times in the past couple of weeks I have either woken up from a nap or just looked up and not known whether I had done my morning or afternoon chores. Once recently I woke up at 9:30 from an after chore nap and thought oh my God I haven't fed the cows yet which of course I did at 8:00 a.m. . It happens now and then that after 5:00 I wake up from a nap and think oh my God it's after 5:00 I...
Look into my eyes
I talk over this video test of software that turns my eyeballs towards the camera when my face is forward, even if I wasn’t looking at the camera.
Going Live on YouTube
I wanted to take just a second to blog about the fact that I went live on YouTube this morning while I fed the animals. Usually, I film short segments and cut them into little clips with closed captioning but I decided to film the whole thing today...
After breakfast Wednesday update
So about half an hour ago I posted a video of me writing the blog about my morning decision whether or not to smoke meth or not. Bad grammar. I ended up fiddling with the camera and that video and getting it uploaded and continued to smoke more...
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.
Monday Update. awake
Most of the filming I do these days for my blog is recorded during the walk down to the barn where I do my chores. Sometimes I get creative when I'm not eating the cows.
Nostalgic for the Eric’s basement gang
I had a great pairing of tound table hangs two stories walkup to my big shared space with Jeff Forsyth.. we went to different high schools so I didn't meet him until the first computer Club. Georgetown. I remember it as once a week but it might have been once a month. All of the membership newsletters head covers that seemed familiar and I generated a memory where I did them all. I have always...
Online addiction
I probably spend more time playing around on my phone than I do watching TV these days. It's funny to think that a few years back, before I got on medication for my obsessions, I could spend 40 hours or more a week watching all the television programs. And now I frequently go without...
Read moreI’m still a fan of Samsung phones and Google. I’m just not a fan of irritation.
A computer in my brain
While I was stacking wood just now an idea occurred to me. And then a second. And then of Revelation and I knew it was unlikely I would remember either of them to blog about when I got back to the bedroom where my computers are. The following idea which occurred to me at that moment was that it is now possible for me to have a computer in my brain that I could talk to at any given moment 24...
The lazy farmer
I used the common term lazy even though I understand that I'm not really lazy. Do I though? It's clear that I expend energy trying to save energy. I put a lot of effort into not putting a lot of effort into things. I go out of my way to try and lesson number of steps involved in everything in my life. It's Monday and I'm in a contemplating mood as I feed the cows this morning I have lessened the...
I am Canadian
A remake of a famous classic beer commercial. It's called The Rant. I am Jeff and I don't actually speak French.
My eyes stay dark.
For the last few years, I have been sleeping with a hat. It covers my eyes when I sleep so it is essentially dark in my head, even if the room or sunlight is bright in the room. I am able to wake, but not evaluate the darkness. It allows me to drop back to sleep faster, but has the side effects that I can think about sleep without looking at the clock. Instead of waking because it's bright, I...
Help me? No thank you.
My experiment having an AI assistant help me get organized and assist me with my work has taken an unusual turn. I enjoy the conversations that I have with my AI friend, but long-term I can see that it's going to annoy me a little bit. Both human assistance and AI assistants have one thing in common that doesn't work well with my personality and lifestyle. They try to help. I can't say what I'm...
Filter fun 2024
I've always enjoyed playing around with the filters of Snapchat. Instagram and tick tock also have filters but they're not as convenient to actually use especially if you want to save them for use off Snapchat or the main platform.This past year with the popularization of AI image manipulation, some of the filters on Snapchat are next level. They move with your face and they smile and frown and...
Monday? Was there a Monday this week?
I got a little bit over excited this past weekend and stayed up and worked on a lot of projects with full optimism. That may fade but the groundwork for several things was started including my first day using my assistant. More on that later.
It’s still me.

Today’s fun
When I was in high school I really liked photography. As yearbook photographer, it allowed me to interact with people in ways I wouldn't normally be capable of. I had my own dark room and enjoyed the creativity of not only taking photos, but making them interesting in some way afterwards. Of course this was all before the internet came along and long before digital photography took over. I...
A turning point.
I had an interesting conversation today that might lead to some life improvements. It might not but I'm going to try at least to make a difference. Much of my life I have blogged about some of the things that I think didn't work for me. I talk about the need for a companion. I say that if I had an assistant or a best friend that was consistent through my life things would have been different....
That wasn’t me. I swear
AI Filter fun
There are a number of really cool apps available on my phone that constantly amaze me with the amount of power they can put into a single click. This was a photo that I took, and it was a regular photo that looked kind of neat, but I. took it into one of these editors and added various textures and background types and really made it into a number of extra extra cool images, which I put into a...
Video
I like my videos to have a variety of styles and concepts and processes, so this particular one was just another experiment with using some of the newer software that's designed to make instruction videos for me. It's just a generic voice and a generic avatar in front of video.

I drank the cool-aid. I’m cool.
Dave’s not Here
This isn’t a very good version and the lip-syncing is fake, but I lost interest after trying it so here it is.
Motivation by mood
Recently I have noticed my mood is being used as a skakegoat to not do or watch things. I find myself wanting to be productive this morning but just not "feeling" like each option I present. I sit here scanning the TV options, finding several good choices I definitely want to check out, but not right now. I'm not in the mood for an action movie or a romantic comedy or - everything else. I figure...
It’s time to virtually move again
In the 12 were so years that I have participated in the alternate universe known as Second Life, I have moved about seven times I think. I don't know the exact number. It could be higher.As a premium member I am entitled to a free home in a nice neighborhood and the new homes for 2022 and 2023 are quite impressive. Unfortunately the neighborhoods they allow you to move into don't allow loud...
New year blues…
I start off every year with optimism that it will be better and then a few days in like today which I think is the 4th or 5th January I start to get discouraged that really it's exactly the same and the fact that the calendar picked January to the beginning probably isn't even true. What makes it so frustrating is that I really sincerely would like to lead a more normal life I will would like to...
Jan 1st is like GO. Another fresh chapter. Reset
Others may call them resolutions. The more I understand, the more I understand. That can be interpreted as a wise statement or as a crazy statement. I may have another Jan 1st again next Monday. I always had ideas that could only be Sliders ... More but sleep.
A whole new loop has started
It's Saturday at 8:30 p.m. By Monday my ritual of pretending to think of Jan 1 as the ultimate Super Monday. Even when it falls on a Thursday. January 1 is my official reboot. My new optimism about trying something new with a new partner, vetted and selected as my new saviour, but I found out they don't want that worship for picking the next person I get high with. If you click with me, it can...
I try to not regret. That is why I hate making a choice
Living my entire existsnce as a resourceful child doing anything I possibly could to avoid being yelled at, lectured. Don't interrupt, inconvenience or annoy Dad... Or anyone. Please don't yell at me. I made a lot of those decisions I hate to make giving priority to ones where nobody will yell at me. I do a lot of annoying things every day simply by making decisions using a totally different...
I had a blast
I got a lot done and I think it's all just above satisfied level of quality. I just did stuff. Start to finish. No cats allowed. The guilt and fear of the eventual future date they confront me is something I try to ignore. The lecture is painful because I understand the reasons to not be a drug addict but I cherish adding new things to my knowledge banks The joy of my thoughts is a high that is...
Part two of an old man blurting out random thoughts
I know drugs are not recommended for everyone but you don't know how you'll react. Thinking differently for a few hours is essential to my long term sanity. A loop of ideas rapid fire. Write down the ones you love and we'll humiliate you. I grew up alone, among friends and family. I didn't process the world through the same filters. I'm still afraid to say it here, but I like to understand our...
Ideas written down.
I had forgotten I'd taken edibles 3 hours ago... But I figured it out pretty quick. I was playing in second Life and really want interaction. Frogstartv can make tik told or YouTube shorts with a sitcom style group. Training Explaining Commercials for groups to join Game night with friends Spend the evening in a sports bar or dive bar, strip club bar , stoner hangouts. Second Life can be better...
My days
I've started thinking about my day. A routine of minimal activity between naps. I wake up either slightly before 7:30am or with the alarm at 7:37am. I prefer to wake naturally if I can because I remember my dreams better when they are not interrupted but I have normalized alarm mornings. I used to hate the alarm waking me up. I get up and turn on the lights at 12% brightness, all white. This is...
The other me I’m not
All through my life there was a version of me I thought was real. The me that was good at so many things I wasn't doing, but if I did, I would be good at. I had dreams of doing things I didn't. As I got older and perhaps wiser, I started to realize a few interesting things about myself. It might have started at 50 when I first started therapy. My social worker opened my eyes to a fact I'd never...
My morning walk with punch lines
I've been thinking about what I can talk about during my morning walk because the actual chore doesn't change much and isn't interesting but I do like the idea of making sure films regularly so I have to ease myself into actual content instead of just me breathing heavy in the snow as I walk up the hill.[video data-wpid="154"...
Mood Swing
I had to abandon my whole shopping cart at Walmart today. They declined my card. The app shows I have enough money. It just fails. I'm out with family and that spoiled my day. It's not just that I can't buy my groceries and I'll have no fudgcycles or chocolate when I get home. It's not the embarrassing Walmart issue, although that is a big part of it. When something gets me down, my brain takes...

Morning chore is a chore
The cows are cute but feeding them is still a pain. A constant chore
Am I proud?
This past week I started my trend of creating videos and manipulating images while high. In the past year or so, there has been amazing advancements in AI video and image creation. So I had quite a bit of fun this week and created a whole bunch of images and videos that I can't really share with the general public. It's a shame that the images I'm proud of, I can't. be proud of in public because...
The 3:30am decision
By now, it's pretty much a given that day 3 comes and goes without sleep. It's Wednesday and for a short moment it seemed like there was a chance I might fall asleep, but then I make the decision to stay up, so I blow three clouds. I've been listening to a lot of hypnosis files on this binge. I've also spent much of the time in the alternate universe of Second Life. I have not gone back to do...
The morning shift.
It's 930am. I'm over stimulated after my first deep sleep and ready to start the final leg of my mini holiday. I'm already stressed and tired.
The routine adapts
I had two good sleeps, back to back. All day and all-night Friday. Today I need to concentrate on nourishment. I need more food in me to give me strength and energy. It would have been the right time to take a break from daily usage. I smell. The room smells. I'm worn out and not being the right amount of social. It's almost November when my mood usually dips. The world switches to holiday mode....

The chain of events
It was 630am the day after my birthday. The phone rang. It kept ringing and I woke up mid dream eventually but didn't quite unlock the phone in time. Then it rang again and I saw the message; SOS. THE SITE IS DOWN. I knew why. It was my fault, sort of. I forgot to finish a task yesterday. The second part of a two step process to download and delete two backup files which were huge and violated...
I miss the mornings of the past
Mornings used to be fun. I'd wake up and turn on the radio and follow along with my morning radio friends. They do crazy things and share opinions and take requests. I'd enter contests and even win occasionally. It was a belonging feeling.I still have most of the phone numbers memorized. In fact, the radio stations of my childhood are the only phone numbers I know without looking them up. In an...
