More later...what do you think?
So,more...I am wondering what are the restrictions on a blog like this. Can I pretty much type anything,or are there some guidelines to help to keep things in perspective.?
Getting used to how this works.
Concerning dragons,and how they are used as symbols of spiritual aspects. They should not always be connected to danger,in fact some Dragons are considered very good luck.
The little red guy on the right should have flames coming off his head,he represents "Anger" in that cool movie he is from,played(Voice) by Lewis Black.
I do sometimes allow my anger to come out,generally you have not seen that side of me,but along with anger I also have a certain set of rules I live by,and those rules are sacred to me,and apply not only to myself,but to friends as well.
I tend to go for humor mainly,not attacking with words or actions,BUT,and it is a really big BUT breaking those rules of friendship is a very very bad thing to do,if you wish to remain a friend of mine.
That is all,out of my system.....
Zika,what is wrong with Government types..they are fighting about funding doing something to keep this thing in check.
Is it to expensive to protect unborn children from being a victem of this disease? There is money to stop Abortions,and birth control,right?
Whats up with that???
I was looking at what it cost to run a forum like this,initial investment is less than I used to spend on smokes a month. Just musing on things as I ponder how life is a cabaret old friend,life is a cabaret.....
Going to be moving to another apartment in this building. Not a big deal for most people,but being older it does mess with my dislike of change.
There are reasons for the move that have to do with leaks over the windows that can only be fixed with me not in this apartment on the top floor.
So,I will most likely be off line until I can get cable up in the new apartment.
So,I kind of fell into a mood about my favorite movies. Some of them are very old,like the Thin man series,and a few Bogart movies..the early charlie Chan ones..and the Bowery boys..Crosby and Hope road movies...Abbott and Costello.....old mystery ones..You get the picture,I am an old classic movie fan.
The movies are not what they used to be,we watch them on the TV,no plush theater any more,those palaces that smell of pop corn,and going out to catch a smoke and hope you don't miss to much. Saturday in fantasy land,thinking nothing to do today,but waste the afternoon and snack on
You know them.
Yeh,you remember,those days that seemed to last forever...
Thinking about all the changes that have come in my life time. When I surf online,it is in a strange way "Magic" because of my past when there was on internet or computers or games that immerse me in a fantasy world where all is possible.
I wonder does Stephen Hawking swim in the same pool of thought and fantasy as I do,and does that help him cope with being tied to his mobile chair and computer voice,left with his very bubble of personal visions of life and its path and purpose?
Do robots dream of electric sheep as one SF writer wrote?\\\I thought I would put my "Rant" here.
The issue here as I see it is not even the jacket,or even $1000 shoes,what is an issue would be a VERY rich person telling a low income person how they feel their pain. If you have never struggled to even put food on your table to feed your kids,you know nothing of the pain. If you have never faced eviction because you fell behind in your rent because you got sick,and had to go bankrupt to cover the cost of medical treatment,then you do NOT know the pain. You may "Think" you know that pain,but you do NOT.
I think of people talking about homeless people,and thinking they understand how that happened to them,that and implying how easy it is to get back in the system and not be homeless again. Or the not understanding how people fall pry to mental illness,and saying they went there because they were WEAK.
If Hillary wants to speak to the masses,she needs a person to advise her who has BEEN down in the poor side of town.
Sorry for the rant,but I have been down in the wrong side of the tracks,I was born there.

I remember a quote from a Radical,might have been a radical from another country,the quote was,"true freedom and equality,grow from the barrel of a gun",now I do not believe we need to go to that radical place to find the path to equality,but one thing is true,and that is if equality and true freedom do not start to grow from good intentions,then in time the growth will eventually begin from that Barrel.

The quote comes from none other than Mao Tse Tung
Every Communist must grasp the truth; "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."
Site here.
Now remember that little RED book that the RED guard always carried with then with the quotations of Mao,and how crazy it got in China during the cultural revolution.
Another of Mao's quotes.
We are advocates of the abolition of war, we do not want war; but war can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.
Anyone who is so at a loss for intellect that follows the meandering speech of Donald Trump,in my mind would end up doing like Mao's followers and take us into our own cultural revolution,and we know how badly it went in China.
I am truly beginning to under stand why some people refer to the internet as the endless repository of almost every bad idea humans can come up with. I do believe that 99 percent of the net is wasted space,ads,and porn,and crackpot theories as far as the browser can surf. Funny animal videos,even funny human as stupid as it can get videos.
I keep thinking ,there must be something online that is an actual positive piece of Karmic energy,and not just pure fluff,or a pile of compost in the heated beliefs of human suffering.
