Welcome to the Outcome of My Boredom

I spend most of my time contemplating the direction of the world. The Chinese have a traditional saying of, "may you live in interesting times," and these are certainly interesting times. In fact, they scare the crap out of me.

So much seems to go unnoticed, or without concern. One may argue that with the daily grind of Fox News, MSNBC, and the various AM Chicken Littles providing the "news," nothing should truly go unnoticed. The unfortunate aspect is that the media has been hijacked by people offering drama and using scare tactics in order to garner ratings.

I do not have such desires. Frankly, I do not benefit from how many people tune in to my show. I don't even have a show. So I am free to provide whatever analysis and commentary that I want without pandering to a supposed audience.

This will be considered my outlet for critical analysis of current events, political discussions that do not involve my membership in any specific national party, something to do since there is no more NFL and the rest of the sports' landscape sucks, as well as perhaps a few Seinfeld-like moments where we can all share a common sentiment at the instances that life provides us.

Buying Time With Something to Offer

  I know that this is not in connection with the previous theme of this site, but I felt the need to connect to the ether, and this struck my fancy.  I promised more about Reagan, and I will deliver, but I highly doubt that my limited audience is concerned.  Perhaps "someone" will play this on the piano when the time arrives.  I would like KC to sing, as I will be singing along from somewhere else.  It would be rather ironic, considering my nebulous concept of the Afterlife.

   Dearly Beloved 

  By Bad Religion

  Here's the story of an honest man losing religion
Climbing the pulpit steps before an eager
congregation
The while praying came a wicked inspiration
Brothers, sisters this is what he said
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
(Make no mistake despite our traits I've seldom
seen evidence of genes)
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you
He was the kind of guy who would always go right
out of his way
But more before that crazy notion leapt right into
his head
And stubbornly crept into every mad perception
I can't deny a funny feeling when he said
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you
Dearest in memoriam - set phasers to stun
And grab yourself a neighbors skeleton to
lean upon
Did you know him in life - one filled with regret
So soon we all forget - we ever met
Do you know my name - sing a light refrain
For a man estranged - I won't deny that I'm
inclined to isolate
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
(Make no mistake despite our traits I've seldom
seen evidence of genes)
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you, I can't
relate to you
