Congratulations MapQuest

I'm guessing this is somewhere within 5,000 miles

I wonder how Everything came to be

And try to imagine the time frame/span

Listen my friend, everything is gonna be alright :)

I ponder Everything

Including the Republican mind set

I could give up B.S. for a year

Yessir

An entire year without any B.S.

Wouldn't lengthen nor shorten my days on this rock

Would make me look more favorably on man kind

However, nothing comes free, and we are talking about people

As a youth my Uncle counseled me to develop an infallible B.S. filter

Said people would on a daily basis try to hand me, sell me, and slip me unmanageable amounts of B.S.

On occasion it has been heavier than a Hod of bricks

Sometimes they've even made it smell good!

Sometimes the flavour has been well masked!

Sometimes it even sounded right!

In the end though, it's B.S.



In retrospect perhaps I shoulda said SEX

Oh well

Ya think I'd thank...

Hi Ho good people

As unaccustomed to public speaking as I am

And

As unaccustomed to public displays of gratitude as I am

And

Due to the fact that you that voted my name must have been stoned at the time

Well...

Well we’ll just dispense with lame list of gratitude’s

Well...

The ushers will be passing around doubles of George Smiths 21 yr old

Everyone

Some of you aren’t drinking enough

Applause please

Reruns of 'Perry Mason' still hold up

Perry Mason
Both High and low drama and predictable outcome

Friends
Those guys were funny together

Good comedic sexual tension

Joey, what can ya say, I'm as clueless

Highway 1 Stratocaster

Fender Highway One Stratocaster

Pete Townsend the originator of smashing guitars on stage, switched to Gibson SG models.

Said

Strats were too hard to break

Jimi Hendrix tried to burn Strats on stage , had to dowse them with lighter fluid

So if there is an after life...

Mine would somehow involve fire and lakes filled with excrement and effluent

Better take something of substance

Plus the landlord would appreciate the visage of unbalanced horns

Rock on good people

We all know it's the devils music

None

I'm in the middle of 6 books

Given to me by well intended people

In an attempt at getting my head outta my wump

In all six

I either tired of the style or characters

They{well intended people} do this to me on a biannual basis

Such a waste of trees/paper



However I am thinking about Plato

I have a hundred music books

Won't learn 1% of it by death



Thanks for asking anyway

    And you?

    How are you faring?

Long time ago

Long long time ago

Men in dirty dresses discovered that:

Humans fear of death

Humans fear any unknowns

Most humans were too busy tending fields

Most humans {being descended from sheep} could be easily driven to unreasonable ends

Most humans didn’t have cars or TV’s, yet needed entertainment

Most humans need to belong

therefore

Men in dirty dresses discovered that

They didn’t like tending fields and ponying up to feudal lords

Hard copies or hard evidence of their knowledge of the origins of all was unnecessary

Lost in the fog of poppy squeezing and deprivation, the monkey mind could expand to anywhere

SO

Men in dirty dresses came up with

“TaDa, Lets hear in now”

GOD<

Heaven

Hell

Heresey

Blasphemy

Pope

Bishop

Priest

Nun

Poor box

Sacrifice

Last but not least Bingo

So far, I Wake up every day

Wake up
Very good

Use the toilet
Pretty good

Go to sleep
So necessary

It's spring

To heck with the candy

Thought I had something to say

But

I was wrong

Oops

There it goes again

A little tickle between the ears





Does an 80% cocoa/chocolate bar qualify as candy?

Werewolf

I'm on Team Werewolf?

Who's kidding who here?



But

They never say

"He'll rip your throat out Jim"

About

A Vampire

When I think Vampire, the next word that pops into my head is IRS

When I think Werewolf, my next thought is "Cheeseburger"



What the hey it's the last day before the clock jumps a head and tomorrow the formula1 season starts.

Preface:The only thing you really have in life is seconds...



When a loss or failure is a non-disputable conclusion

Stop spending them seconds

Pour yourself a non-victory drink

Chant your non-victory chant

After all the only loss or failure is not trying at all

Dream up something to do with those saved seconds

And

This is best done with a non-victory drink in hand...

My life is fraught with poor choices and inattention

Lost my first two families

Came close to blowing this one

These are my step-daughters children

She and they have learned to tolerate me

Their pictures are everywhere in the house

They call me Papa Thom

Their pictures lighten my day

Old Chicago Pizza

For regular work-a-day we just go to Papa Murphy's

Get one of them bake-it-Ur-self, add some home stuff

However

Old Chicago is my wife's fave

Drive 146 mile

Get a room

Have pizza night out

Catch some music at "Mystic", hopefully blues

Stay the night

Drive to the coast

Make a day of it

Lieing gets better with age

Maybe not better, but more well thought out

Who knows...

Certainly not me...



GETS BETTER WITH AGE

I think it's a lie we must tell ourselves



Some red wines, not all

Some distilled liquor, not all

Crafted cheeses, not Velveeta



The {Time/seconds} of our lives

can be like the Chinese water torture

or

a shiatsu massage

or

both tap tap tap tap tap tap, oohh that hurts so good

Does it have to have a name?

I've been violently knocked unconscious a few times in my life

The whole experience is a total wash

Choosing to do something, somewhere special, which won't be remembered

WHY?

I'll be

Well I will!!!!!

Well I might!!!!

Well I don't shine

But

I handle public dancing ...Well

Speaking of dancing

It's snowing

Gonna get deep

Time to

Go outside

Drink

Dance

Shovel

Act like a loon

Spring : it's a good thing

Spring
Just over the horizon

Not so far away as to be seen as wishing my life away

Starting all my seeds for May garden planting

F#<<==>>Bbm
Ive got the transition down

Sounds super

The laundry room
When winter gets long

My wife

Paints something

It's done

It's done

It's done

I hate painting

And not the least
I have a heart beat

And

My wife hasn't kicked me to the curb

And
That's it
