What Irks Me No. 2

~ A Pondering Mind ~ 16 Comments

Say the outside temperature is 98 F, with stifling humidity.

And being outside in such sticky air, and the body is sweaty, and afraid you might have to take to the scissors to extricate one self from the soaked shirt.

Anyways, along comes an idiot, all happy as he/she is whistling some stupid tune and says, “Nice Day’ and/or Beautiful Day.” I’m like ready to bang this person on the upside of his head, and say “Your Nuts!” Seriously.

It’s bad enough the hot, sticky weather gets to me, but when some ass of a person says shit about it being nice or beautiful, needs to be put on some strong meds.

Burnt Toast

Burn your toast, anyone?

You do have options.

Eat it.

Toss it in the trash.

Scrape it, then eat it.

Give it to the birds.

Or save it, and use it in place of sandpaper,

or an emergency coaster for the coffee and/or end table.

Six Minutes Before Sunset

This photo above was taken with six minutes to go before sunset. I shot this, while I was standing in the middle of the street. The white steeple if you want to call it that, is the Armenian Church. The building across from it, is city hall, which at one time was the city’s high school.

Time of photo: 8:20 PM.

Happy Birds

~ A Pondering Mind ~ 8 Comments

It’s early Saturday evening, and in an hour, the sun will be setting at 8:24 PM. Have the windows open, the baseball game is on the TV, and the best part is, the numerous birds all happy and chipper as they are tweeting away in one massive chorus. Sitting here listening to the birds, they are saying that there is still a lot to like about the earth, that we all call home. With a touch of Zen, life is grand.

I See No Harm For A Woman To Breastfeed Her Baby In Public

~ A Pondering Mind ~ 22 Comments

What is so bad or wrong for Karlesha Thurman, who had just received her diploma from California State University – Long Beach,to breastfeed her three month old baby? Breastfeeding in public is protected by California law.

Well some people decided to go bat shit crazy after the photo of her and the baby went viral. Personally I have no qualms with a mother breastfeeding her child. But some people love to criticize and find fault with it. Those people are just a bunch of losers, who have nothing better to do, than to bash anyone, for any asinine reason they can come up with. It’s the same with politics, bashing, lying, twisting things around, because they think they have the sense to do so. There just fucking idiots, and have no use for them.

Here’s the link to the story, and it is a short one with a photo of Karlesha and her baby.

Okay

~ A Pondering Mind ~ 10 Comments

Okay, so I’m outside getting some air. It is late, like 11:55 night late. A neighbor of comes out, and says,
“Nice Night.”
Me: “Yes it is, and a delightful one.”
He: “Nice and warm.”
Me: “Yup.”
He: “The moon looks nice too.”
Me: “In all its glory.”
He: When he decided to go back inside, he said, “Have a good day.”
Me: Why say that, when the time according to my phone reads 11:59 PM. I mean the day is already shot to hell. In another 60 seconds a new day will start. So why didn’t this moron wish me a good day then, instead of say, 10-11 hours earlier, when the day was still in its earlier stages. It would have picked up my spirits, feel lively, full of piss and vinegar, the cats meow, the bees knees, do an Irish Jig. But no. It never happened. Such is life.
