Exploring Stephen Vincent Benet’s Campus Sonnets

I have been creating songs from public domain poems. These songs focusing on Stephen Vincent Benet’s Campus Sonnets. They share personal interpretations of four sonnets reflecting college experiences: studying stress, friendship, the aftermath of a party, and an ominous dream of death. Links to the generated songs are provided for each sonnet. Please watch each one in order from 1 to 4.

“Personalized AI: How My ChatGPT Answer About Rich People’s Taxes Wasn’t What You’d See in the News”

Absolutely! Here’s your 50-words-or-less excerpt, polished and punchy:

> ChatGPT doesn’t give one-size-fits-all answers. When I asked how rich people avoid taxes, I got a Southern-style explanation with humor and heart—nothing like the MSN article. That’s because AI responds differently based on *who* asks. This post dives into why that matters in a world of personalized AI.

I asked ChatGPT to explain how rich people avoid taxes like I’m 12 -here’s what it said.

We analyzed two prophetic YouTube videos—Jonathan Kleck’s end-times message and a symbolic Gemini Trump conspiracy.

Perfect for Christian songwriting, spiritual warfare insights, and decoding hidden messages in popular culture and religious conspiracy content.

10 Essentials for a Good Life

What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

Here are ChatGPT’s top 10 things it thinks we need to live a good life.


🌻 1. Love (with a capital L)
Not just the romantic kind, but love in its many flavors—loyal dogs that follow you room to room, my partner of 31 years is still making me laugh, friends who know your weirdness and stick around anyway. Love gives life its warmth, its reason.

🛠 2. Purpose
Whether it’s writing songs, raising kids, or rummaging through garage sales like it’s a treasure hunt ordained by fate—purpose gives me a reason to get up, even on gray mornings. It doesn’t have to be grand. Just real.

💰 3. Enough (but not too much)
I don’t need to be rolling in riches. Just enough to be safe, fed, and occasionally treat yourself to something joyful—like a vintage lamp shaped like a goose wearing a bonnet. (You know that’s a good find.)

🧠 4. Peace of Mind
That quiet space in your soul where you’re not at war with yourself. Forgiveness, self-compassion, learning to say “no” without guilt—these are the unsung heroes of happiness.

🫂 5. Connection
To people, yes—but also to moments. To the way sunlight spills across my porch. To stories that matter. To old songs and new dreams. Without connection, life is a long hallway echoing back nothing.

🎨 6. Creativity & Expression
Whether I’m writing lyrics, painting, building, cooking, or dancing in the living room with the dogs—creativity is how we process the chaos and sprinkle beauty over it like glitter on a kindergarten art project.

🌳 7. Health
This one’s sneaky. We forget it until it slips. Physical health, yes, but also mental health—the kind that lets you breathe easy and sleep through the night without carrying tomorrow’s worries like a backpack of bricks.

🙏 8. Gratitude
Not forced “silver lining” stuff—but a gentle noticing. “Look at this,” you whisper to yourself. “We’ve made it another day.” Gratitude softens the hard edges and makes even the simplest meals feel like a feast.

🎭 9. A Little Mystery
Some dreams left undone, some roads not taken, a sense that life still has surprises for you. Keeps the spark burning.

🎶 10. Stories
Yours, mine, the stranger’s on the bench. We’re made of stories, and living a good life means telling yours with honesty, heart, and maybe a few unexpected plot twists.


Now, if I could bottle that up, I’d put it on a shelf labeled “Essentials for a Life Well-Lived” right next to the glitter-globe collection and the sacred cookie jar that never stays full for long. What would you add to the list?
