wake up in the morning
enjoying the first cup of
coffee
open the laptop
to read and view
the latest news
lo and behold
come to realize
nothing has changed
everything is the same
not really surprised
but…you never know
a morning in the future
may stun the mind
saying that it is to
good to be true
that there is
a change…maybe
good
bad…or
in between
you never know
rain or shine
the birds still sing
pouring rain
a mug of coffee
a book to read
makes for
a perfect
start of
the day
what I don’t see, hear and/or know about doesn’t bother me, and I am fine with that. so with that said, all is well and good and I will leave it like that.
working people seem to dread manic mondays
while a retired person like me looks at it as mild-mannered mondays
its a fair assumption
Check out her drawings. I’ve been following her for some time, and she does some fantastic art work.
72 years.. 5 months 5 days i’ve been circling the sun and it never gets old…and i don’t feel old…as age is only a number… so with that said…i plan on sticking around for quite some time

the table is all laid out with chef salad, a wedge of cheddar cheese, a plate of expensive cold cuts, and a bottle of red wine. with all the time she spent getting the food ready, the candles ready to be lit, her date nevertheless was a total slob… knocking stuff over, and … the evening turned into a bummer of night … she vowed never again … never

this sticky humid weather
is in no way my friend
far from it
humid as hell

feeling
“The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.”
~ William James
“Nothing is absolute. Everything changes, everything moves, everything revolves, everything flies and goes away.”

“My birth sign is Scorpio and they eat themselves up and burn themselves out. I swing between happiness and misery. I am part prude and part nonconformist. I say what I think and I don’t pretend and I am prepared to accept the consequences of my actions.” ~ Vivien Leigh
grouchy bastard drives the good humor ice cream truck and bitches about everything under the sun
never hear July 4th or 4th of July or just the 4th, but never by its real name Independence Day. I wonder why that is?

~ Jane Austen
I finally got rid of Twitter, as I had no use for it. This is second time I have done this. The first time was early last year. Then this past fall, I started a new account. At first it was going well, but then it seemed like Twitter was on this suspension kick, which happened to me twice. Finally, I had at it with all the bullshit and what have you, that I let it dormant for awhile, and last night I finally ended it. Twitter isn’t what use to be, so I say good riddance!
dark. gloomy. overcast. blah, Saturday morning.
can’t believe its july already. unbelievable!
it sucks waking up
at 3:30 in the morning
because the bladder
was getting antsy
and then can’t get
back to sleep
I repeat: it sucks
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. Music is the electrical soils in which the spirit lives, thinks and invents.
Ludwig van Beethoven
the dark clouds are
moving in and can
hear low rumblings of
thunder
question everything… rebut if you want
so I managed to take a walk, and I didn’t let the sun or the heat get to me. I managed to block it out, and it does help.
now come Friday & Saturday, both days will only be in the 60s, with on and off rain. I can deal with that.
another day
of 90 plus degrees
in store for today
ugh!
cut my evening walk
its nasty hot and humid
which is not to my liking
went for an earlier walk
shortly after nine
not much shade
damn…I could feel
the sun…and it felt
like being in a
400 degrees oven
so I managed to
cut the distance
as it was too hot
A pain stabbed my heart as it did every time I saw a girl I loved who was going in the opposite direction in this too-big world.
~ Jack Kerouac
as the hot, humid weather is here
it still hasn’t stopped me from
venturing outside and do my walks
I try to stay on the streets with
the most shade
and also try to block my mind
from how bad it is…most
of the time it works
it does keep me in shape
even though the tshirt
is plastered on my back
so…with this weather
I’ll just have to grin
and bare it
You know, I do speak the Queens English. It’s just the wrong Queens that’s all. It’s over the 59th Street Bridge. It’s not over the Atlantic Ocean.
~ Cyndi Lauper
89 degrees with a feel of 98
humid as all hell too
glad I got things done early
rest of the day
will be a kick back and relax
“This highway leads to the shadowy tip of reality: you’re on a through route to the land of the different, the bizarre, the unexplainable…Go as far as you like on this road. Its limits are only those of mind itself. Ladies and Gentlemen, you’re entering the wondrous dimension of imagination. . . Next stop The Twilight Zone.”
~ Rod Serling, Screenwriter, Born: December 25, 1924 – Died: June 28, 1975
“You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into… the Twilight Zone.”
~ Rod Serling
The Twilight Zone (television series), opening narration (1961)
its been a long day
especially since
i’ve been
awake shortly
after 5:00 a.m.
not complaining
just saying
outside it’s hot…and that’s that
a day to
do nothing
and just
relax
and
chill
completed the Sunday crossword
a couple more to tackle
later on in the
Washington Post
they can be head bangers
no harm in trying
it is evening
which means it is dark
the streetlamps are on
me…sitting on the couch
trying to think of what to
write along with the useless
drivel that i’ve been coming up with
maybe come tomorrow the brain
may produce something useful to
put into words
we’ll see what happens
no rhyme
no reason
just writing
whatever comes
to mind
need more coffee
plenty of bottled water
on hand to keep me
hydrated
hot humid weather
making a return
not exactly my
kind of weather
high humidity
tends to wear
me down
busy as a bee
no rest for the weary
the end will be
at no appointed hour
its the time of year that the longest day of year is upon us. the reverse will happen as the days will be on the road to getting shorter… and nothing can be done about it … so we just grin and bear it….
what do people do when they are bored?
weather is fantastic
for a stroll
and enjoying it
leftover meatloaf
for my evening
meal
sounds divine
have no inkling what to write
evening walk on hold
thunderstorms moving
through
will wait it out
and take one
later on
the afternoon
has so far
been a
blah …
blah …
blah …
lazy …
type of day
early afternoon
took an afternoon walk
weather isn’t all
that great
light mist
which wasn’t that bad
couch potato
using the laptop
instead of watching tv
or does it watch me
when its on
anyway…
living the comfy life
the only way
to be
My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.

idle time
no rush
to do
anything
that’s what
sundays are
all about
and all is well
sun is shining
64 degrees
time to go
for a walk
about town
up earlier than usual
and that’s okay
it gives me more
time to do
whatever I feel
like doing
life is good
“I used to say, ‘Things cost too much.’ Then my teacher straightened me out on that by saying, ‘The problem isn’t that things cost too much. The problem is that you can’t afford it.’ That’s when I finally understood that the problem wasn’t ‘it’-the problem was ‘me.’”
~ Jim Rohn
the sun did
not disappoint
shining brightly
with lots of
puffy white clouds
with that said
took a walk
on the boardwalk
which runs parallel
with the river
and its never crowded
which is a good thing
got to see
blood work
results online
and my A1c
is 5.8 a
a glucose level
of 117
which is down
from the last test
earlier this year
the A1c then was
6.0 a level
of 125
so I feel good
knowing that
I’m doing the
right things
and eating right
and drinking
plenty of water

needed…which
is nearing two years
laundry folded
and put away

departing

a beautiful day
in the neighborhood
is in the cards
“Traveling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying, ‘I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.”
~ Lisa St. Aubin de Terán
time is right
for the aroma
of fresh brewed
coffee is calling
for me
the day is still
and
in no rush to do
anything

time in the world
to do exactly
nothing
nada
zilch
marvelous i say
no complaints
life is good
think i’ll sit
and wait out
the heat
and sticky
feeling outside
and enjoy the
comforts of the a/c
and slake my
thirst with water
with a cup
or two of caffeine
so…. that’s what
i’ll do
damn! it is way to humid
took a walk
in the heat
very few people
out and about
came home
dragging my ass
the a/c felt great
now i’m relaxing
knowing my
glucose reading
is excellent
tomorrow will
be hotter
do i dare to
venture out…
i’ll play it by ear
its way too damn hot outside
There are two types of poor people, those who are poor together and those who are poor alone. The first are the true poor, the others are rich people out of luck.

some say climate change is a hoax
i beg to differ
but no use arguing
with people in denial
then i ask myself
do people in denial
like being that way
or
do they live miserable lives
