The above (typewriter-written) quote is a useful insight by Mitch Teemley. In writing (as in life), it is indeed best to kind of know where you’re going with something. It kind of goes without saying, but on the other hand some of us are unfortunately all too guilty of strutting out onto that high wireContinue reading “Great Quote – Mitch Teemley”

My Two iPhone Wallpapers (Whoopee!)
Pinterest Photo: John Russell as Dan Troop in The Lawman John Russell played Dan Troop on the old 1950’s television Western, The Lawman. Though probably minor in terms of historical impact, his characterization of Sheriff Dan Troop is one of the most endearing and most powerful western characterizations of all time in my book. ThereContinue reading “My Two iPhone Wallpapers (Whoopee!)”
You Make Me Dizzy Miss Lizzy – John Lennon
The YouTube link at the bottom is John Lennon performing “You Make Me Dizzy, Miss Lizzy.” => Toronto, 1969. In my mind, 1969 was the zenith and the apex of a golden era. I don’t care how much revisionist-minded cranks historically disparage the period. Call it the hippie period. Call it the anti-establishment period. CallContinue reading “You Make Me Dizzy Miss Lizzy – John Lennon”
Water Confirmed On Europa
Image: © NASA/ESA/K. Retherford/SWRI If life exists elsewhere in our solar system, scientists predict that Europa (orbiting Jupiter) is one of the likeliest candidates. Why? It was always thought (emphasis on “thought”) that there was a gigantic (salt) sea underneath the frozen surface of Europa… e.g. => Water!! That has definitely now been confirmed (“researchersContinue reading “Water Confirmed On Europa”
“Stand By Me” and “Slippin’ And Aslidin’” – John Lennon
Photos: Pinterest Though I always mourn John Lennon when I hear his music, I love the way the man lays it down. Foundational rock n’ roller. You get old like me… and people start disappearing on you like free candy in a candy store – the near and the dear AND the cherished and theContinue reading ““Stand By Me” and “Slippin’ And Aslidin’” – John Lennon”

*We Are Church*
Photo: Pinterest I have a half-baked idea here => a blogosphere kinda’ thing. Ponder with me for a minute: I was thinking about all the nice brothers and sisters I’ve met here in WordPress during the past three months. Wisdom, comfort, and encouragement totally unexpected! In times past, I have felt like Elijah: “Lord amContinue reading “*We Are Church*”
This Man Needs Prayer, Brothers and Sisters. Please Pray!
Quote: Pinterest ******* I am re-blogging a post I read today from Ianus Christius at => https://libertasnova.wordpress.com Reference his post: “This Is The End, My Only Friend. The End…” If one can take at face value that this man is telling the truth (and I have no reason to believe that he’s not telling theContinue reading “This Man Needs Prayer, Brothers and Sisters. Please Pray!”
He’s South Of The Border You Know, Marvin…
I keep waking up trying to do WordPress blog posts on my Casio watch 😧. I continue to awaken from sleep, with ephemeral blog posts elusively beckoning. I find myself foggily clutching at my (cheap but reliable) digital wristwatch as I groggily awaken… “aw-w-oh-o-o-o… huh-h—hhh?” I try to catch (what I perceive as) gems inContinue reading “He’s South Of The Border You Know, Marvin…”
Rock n’ Roll – A Metaphor
Photo: Pinterest (a picture of you know who) When I listen to rock n’ roll, I am moved and inspired. I am energized with unearned strength. It makes me bubble up and JUKE inside! It’s a terribly ugly sight… but rock n’ roll music even makes me want to dance! Rock n’ roll makes meContinue reading “Rock n’ Roll – A Metaphor”
We Are Tribes: The Word And Polyglot English
Photo: Pinterest picture of Oglala Sioux Indian Chief *** I touched on this earlier but: I love my British cousins. The English blokes don’t really speak the bloody language properly (they don’t speak Texan) but that’s alright 👍. I guess they did originally develop the thing. You folks gotta’ admit: the poly-glot ridden, English languageContinue reading “We Are Tribes: The Word And Polyglot English”
Baby Boomers Struggling
I can identify with struggling 🕰 💸 🛏. We may be living longer as individuals. However, i) Many Baby Boomers “rely on Social Security for at least 90% of their incomes” AND ii) “almost one-fifth of Americans 65 and older are struggling with poor health.” These are absolutely horrendous statistics, folks! It’s bad out hereContinue reading “Baby Boomers Struggling”
Hold On, I’m Coming – Sam And Dave
This song is a perfect fusion of gospel, rock n’ roll, and soul. What a grand blend, baby! I’m coming!!! Yes, HE is!!! An allegory and a metaphor => like so much of other rock n’ roll music to me. As I’ve shared before, life has taken on a much more allegorical, metaphorical essence toContinue reading “Hold On, I’m Coming – Sam And Dave”
The Story In Your Eyes – Moody Blues
The Moody Blues! This group is one of my all time, ALL-TIME favorite rock n’ roll bands! They are one of the British BIG FIVE in my book. The BRITISH BIG FIVE: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Electric Light Orchestra, The Moody Blues, and The Who. Rock n’ Roll was birthed in the good ole’Continue reading “The Story In Your Eyes – Moody Blues”
Protein From Air
The company Air Protein says it makes a meat alternative out of “air-based protein.” (Image: © Air Protein). I know. You’re probably thinking the same thing I am: “yeah, sure.” But take a read. They’re for real. Big implication for manned space exploration. Click on the link below the excerpt. Excerpt: “It sounds like aContinue reading “Protein From Air”
Davy Crockett – King Of The Wild Frontier
Talk about a great man! Defending courageously against such overpowering wickedness and tyranny. May the hallowed halls of heaven forever resonate with his greatness. Texas forever, baby!! Texas forever!!! The below is a very interesting read about the death of David Crockett (at least to me). Some of you might enjoy. Below text excerpted from:Continue reading “Davy Crockett – King Of The Wild Frontier”
Navigate The NOW
Photo: Pinterest I realize that I keep re-visiting this metaphor, but please allow. As I have aged I find that I have become more and more pre-occupied with allegory and metaphor. Small things take on larger meaning. There are fractals of wisdom inter-connected between and within other fractals… all metaphorically and metaphysically linked together (quantumContinue reading “Navigate The NOW”
Walt Disney – A Great Man
Walt Disney => Great man as well as an incredibly-gifted artist. Even as much as I’ve enjoyed some of Disney’s latest creations – Toy Story 4 for example (Pixar)… I believe that Disney corporate has become, generally speaking, something Walt Disney would possibly have abhorred. Call me Pollyanna, but were Walt Disney able to provideContinue reading “Walt Disney – A Great Man”
Nobody Loves You – John Lennon
I know some reject John Lennon due to his total rejection of Jesus. I understand. But I want to again emphasize that I believe it’s important to always separate the art from the artist. John Lennon was a stupendous, rock n’ roll music master. His contributions to rock n’ roll are legendary and incalculable. IContinue reading “Nobody Loves You – John Lennon”
