Glued, Screwed, and Subdued

"I think it bugs me that in order for me to get on with things in life I must necessarily lose touch with some of the hard realities outside my control."

Get a job...doing what?

Old Men Acting Up

Unanswered Questions for Alice Zeorlin

Same song, different verse

When you get some time and you're feeling quite eloquent, would you please share your thoughts on this: Collaborate

The Pro's

Imagine/consider that pro-life forces are backing you.

Consider/imagine that pro-choice forces fight for your rights.

If you are not healthy enough to decide which diametrically-opposed pole should be gravitated to, the projudicators will have your ass.

Sing Out

How to Behave

Just imagine we all want the same thing but we have a communication problem.

depressed?

What is it I should be doing? Encouraging young folks to cling to the values of this world? Hardly. Been there. Done that. I eclipsed the 50 mark a few years ago. Now I'm ready for moving on.

But I can't do it by myself. The best that I can hope for at my age and experience level is to guide others for circumventing the tricks and traps of life.

To put it another way, it won't do for me to just take care of myself because it's not me who holds the "Number One" position.

Inundation

On one of those days when "you'll never get enough" becomes "too much, too little, too late" you'll wonder "why didn't anybody tell me...?"

Yin and Yang

Excessive Celebration is easy. Accepting the truth is hard.

Awareness of Unanswered Questions... is obvious. Willingness to do the right thing is essential.

Complicity in hopelessness brings much sorrow. Recognition of "Splintered Realities" and acceptance of diversity is our only hope for the world.

What a pairing, what a team! Who Are We Now?

The Haves & The Have Nots
The givers & the takers
The suckers & the suckees
The thinkers & the doers
The lost & the forsaken
The dumb & the desperate
The movers & the shakers
The hopeless & the abandoned
The reluctant & the unwilling

The Merciful & The Kind
The generous & the forgiving
The strong & the resolute

The Delusional & The Unfocused
The rooster & the hen

The Source of Pride & The Cause for Celebration
The irritant & the reason for denial
The embarrassment & the shame
The opportunity for growth and improvement
near-death & the final humiliation
The silence & the thunderous roar
The pride and the vile discontent
The evil & the source of our disconnect

Ding-Dong! The Witch is Dead

"I find this entire situation utterly oppressive."

"O...really?"

"I would stop picking them up except that they're just so darned cute."

It is not that complicated

...so the farmer says to the salesman, "Around here we get what we pay for."
