Dec. 13: The thoughtfully sought and what not

 Hello. (Hello Hello)

Is there anybody out there?

Does anybody read this blog?

I'd really like to know.

Come on (come on) now

tell me in the comments

that you're a fan of note-a-day

and you've got something to say.

Relax (relax relax)

I'll need to get a title first.

I'll assign you a day 

and you can make me hurt.


There is no nightmare like a blank page

A distant muse, that won't start breathing

The words are coming through in waves

My fingers move, but I don't know what I'm saying.

When I was a child, I had a daydream

I'd be a famous writer, yeah.

Now I've got that feeling once again

I can't explain, because I'm old now

I will not talk.

I'll do, instead.


I think this blog

is thoughtfully sought

Okay (okay okay)

My son wants my attention

I'll tickle him and (ahahahaha)

And soon he'll fall asleep.

So now I'll sit down

I do believe the muse is back

I might not hit a home run

but I'm still on the attack.


I think this blog

is thoughtfully sought.

Sept. 13: You don't know what you gave up

 Dear Mr. Man You know, I don't hate you. If I saw you on the street, I wouldn't yell at you or cuss you out, but I don't think I'd shake your hand. But I do pity you, man. You don't know what you gave up. She's going to be a funeral director, did you know that? Yeah, she's going to be a mover and shaker, hitting the big time. She'll have a good job and she'll never be out of work because she's in an industry that will never die (you should pardon the pun.)  Sure, she had her challenges growing up, but what girl doesn't. Things made her cry. Sometimes, I'm sad to say, I was one of those things. But all I can say is the good times outweigh the bad. I hope she agrees with that. You see, Mr. Man, I have a whole lot of great memories with her. This one time, I tried to take her down to Cleveland so we could see a Major League Baseball game live. But we couldn't get into the States so instead, we went to Niagara Falls and we had a grand ol

Dec.19: The day Steve dropped my Phoenix

 The day Steve dropped my Phoenix I was sleeping He left the papers there outside my door. I laughed when I read the part about the Roughriders, they didn't make the playoffs after all By the time I make my breakfast he'll be working Trying hard to bring the news to us He just don't understand the world has moved on. it's off the wall that's all By the time I get to Jack's Pub he'll be writing a council brief or maybe 20 Q's. we might cry to think he's doing this for nothing but he does it 'cause it's all he knows how to do - apologies to Glen Campbell

Dec. 10: Brothers over 80

Image
The Irishman is surely the most tragic movie of Martin Scorsese's career. It follows the same trajectory as his other beloved films Goodfellas, Casino, and Wolf of Wall Street. In all of those movies, a criminal's life comes crashing down. In Goodfellas, Ray Liotta's Henry Hill aspires to be a gangster, only to have to betray his mob brothers in the end to avoid a lengthy prison sentence. In Casino, a wannabe enforcer is beaten to death with a baseball bat while his colleague loses his family and winds up a lonely man. In Wolf of Wall Street, a dishonest wall street stockbroker loses his trophy wife and winds up having to betray the very people he helped set up so he can stay out of jail. But in all of the above tales, everyone gets a slice of the good life, at least for a little while. They do copious amounts of drugs, have sex with all kinds of women, and earn a whole lot of money in the process. In the end, they have nothing, but at least there's a mountain in a life
