The Best Times of My Life

I have a whole host of interests and sometimes I can get pulled in so many directions I’m not sure what to do. I never know where I am going to end up regardless what my plans were at the start of the day.

I dare say that if I was a child in today’s world I would probably be forced to take some drug for attention deficit disorder. Thank God I was allowed to just be myself.

I have five different blogs in for the express purpose of recording my favorite things in some semblance of order.

But my very favorite things to do is listen to music (jazz, rock and blues), write, draw, garden, cook and spend time with my wife.

Death vs Life

There’s nothing to mourn about death any more than there is to mourn about the growing of a flower.

What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don’t live up until their death.

They don’t honor their own lives, they piss on their lives. They shit them away. Dumb fuckers.They concentrate too much on fucking, movies, money, family, fucking. Their minds are full of cotton.

They swallow God without thinking, they swallow country without thinking. Soon they forget how to think, they let others think for them.

Their brains are stuffed with cotton. They look ugly, they talk ugly, they walk ugly. Play them the great music of the centuries and they can’t hear it. Most people’s deaths are a sham. There’s nothing left to die.
