The old humorous Christmas song "Santa Baby" crept into my head, as songs tend to do in there, and as I went over the lyrics I thought about the part where she sings, "think of all the fun I've missed / Think of all the lips I haven't kissed..." It occurred to me that this is the basis in the minds of many people for being a "good person": they ( Read more... )

I just got through putting some ideas down about my perceptions about people in general...and I got to thinking maybe I'm whining and complaining...you can certainly say too much about things that are true if they are not in your favor. On the other hand, I certainly do not like it when someone gets on his high horse and tells me I'm being a ( Read more... )

Today a thought occurred to me...the government is supposed to be "of the people." But too often some politicians get the idea that the government IS the people--that is, they have the right to decide what we want. This is nothing new, either; President Grover Cleveland (his face should have gone on Mount Rushmore instead of TR!) is known to have ( Read more... )

Seems I missed out on saying happy birthday to ianthegecko. Hope your day went quite well. And to kayshapero, I hope you also feel another year better.

I don't know what the Al has been up to lately, and I assume he's either still performing his older stuff or he's taking a break...or thinking of retirement.

In my mind the devil's advocate position cropped up, proposing for the sake of argument that a lost person could seek to please what he himself calls "God." But the reason this does not work is that the ( Read more... )

I don't have big dreams. At least, I can never pin down what I want specifically. My desires are very vague. Make music...pass on knowledge and wisdom...help out where I can. I have friends and acquaintances with huge dreams, things I have trouble believing anyone could accomplish in a single lifetime. I have pondered over and over why I have ( Read more... )

The desktop PC, that is. Finally got it set back up the other day, which is long overdue. Caught up on a couple webcomics I hadn't seen since the tower was packed up just after the last post here. In fact, while I'm on the subject...may I suggest http://dawnchapel.com , Read more... )

Once again, I wish you all the best. You are so faithful to remember others, so it seems only fitting that someone remember you on your day.
