Dream a little...

Sometimes, if you forget to wake up…then you are still sleeping.



Sleep is not only of the great necessities in life; it is also one of life’s greatest pleasures.



Now there are those that sleep as merely a maintenance process and then there are those that sleep to avoid life’s many responsibilities.



Either way we still must sleep.



Sometimes I stay asleep just so that I may dream.



Dreams can be a wondrous and joyful adventure. For most us, our dreams are quickly forgotten, seldom to be remembered.



That’s why I invented the Blu-Ray Dreamonator 3000. Now all of your favorite dreams can be recorded in hi-def for all to see.



Sleepy, sleepy thoughts...go back to bed.

Randoliciousness

Spoketh

the

Mountain: “How many lives have you lived?”



Four

Legged

Creature: “I’m on my seventh” purred the tired old cat.



Spoketh

the

Mountain

(Again): “How many lives have you lived?”



Sad Old

Traveller: “I have yet to live” hissed the blind man, shooting at the world.



Spoketh

the

Mountain

(One Last Time): “How many lives have you lived?”



Handsome

Young Man: “I’m on my first life” said I, with a sense of pride.


“The first dozen chapters, or so, had me at the edge of my seat.”



“This chapter, however, is nice and slow. It has a steady, sensible pace.”




Such is the pace when you get to be my age.


Burning the candle on both ends; trying to juggle love and loneliness; figuring out where to bury the bodies; these activities take their toll.



Now it’s time to count my blessings, relishing the idea that in most states the statute of limitations has expired.



Misdemeanors, that’s all I’ve ever been guilty of.


Truly.



p.s. What color socks are you wearing?

LIFE: My Favorite Reality Show

Real life is supposedly much better than television, but not necessarily cable and certainly not a satellite dish.



What is the future of a society in which multi-media not only influences but dictates our cultural values and morals?


Forgotten modes of entertainment such as human interaction, walking, thinking, telling stories, original thoughts; well they still occur but their regularity and duration as a worldwide average is dwindling.


As a society, we used to spend most of our waking lives glued to the television set. Now we split our waking time between the TV and the internet.



Technology is wonderful, but not at the cost of human awareness and compassion.



Wait a minute, can’t think about these things right now. There’s a show on right now with a bunch of reality TV stars fighting to fall in love with somebody’s money…and they all have cute nicknames…and its really truly happening in front of my eyes…unedited and uncensored.



Wait another minute, I’m not falling for this one hour commercial. I’m gonna go old school and open me up a book. One without pictures.



What should I read?


Maybe I should dust off the cobwebs first!
