Yeah. . .

. . . it's just me.

One of my older original compositions, Harrissinny, inspired by our youngest son; conventional, yet elements of radicalism. Just when it seems predictable, it goes off the far left end, without warning and with lots of humor. (Just like him. That's why I love it.)

With all due respect. . .

. . . and in all honesty, very little respect is really due to those who make little to no use of the grey matter between their ears which has evolved (yes, conservative Virginia- EVOLVED) into the formidable organ it is today. . .

anyone who took Mr. Harold Camping seriously will SURELY know better than to even listen to his latest apologetic (or is it a non-apologetic). . . look here. . .

(from Buzzflash.com)
Unlike a Rained Out Ball Game, Harold Camping Offers No Refunds to Rapture Contributors

"On Monday evening, May 23 -- two days after Judgment Day failed to materialize -- Harold Camping stepped up to Family Radio's "Open Forum" mic and basically declared "Mission Accomplished." Coming only a day after he admitted to being "flabbergasted" by events, Camping's rambling and discombobulated statement maintained that the end of the world had been postponed until October 21, because "God is a loving and merciful God" he would not allow "long term suffering for anyone."

On October 21, the world will end quickly, Camping said, without any build up."

(PUH - LEEEEEEEEZZZZE!!!!!)

A very wise man (Christopher Hitchens) once said. . .

"Exceptional claims demand exceptional evidence."

"Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not rely soley upon science and reason, because these are necessary rather than sufficient factors, but we distrust anything that contradicts science or outrages reason. We may differ on many things, but what we respect is free inquiry, openmindedness, and the pursuit of ideas for their own sake."

Time to go back to ( or check into) the home, Harold. About 50% of those older than 85 years of age suffer from some form of dimentia. It cannot be ignored. It certainly should NOT be pandered to. WHAT DO YOU THINK??

Gotta leave you with a little music. . .

What a yahu. . .

. . . I mean- YAHOO!! (Freudian slip)

How can a person make one statement, such as maybe ". . . yes, we want peace. . . " then spend the remainder of their 'air' time listing the reasons that they refuse to help bring that peace about in any concrete, meaningful way?

"I say to President Abbas 'Tear up your pact with Hamas and sit down and negotiate, make peace with the Jewish state. "The Palestinian attempt to impose a settlement through the United Nations will not bring peace. It should be forcefully opposed by all those who want to see this conflict end. . . " The man promised “painful” Israeli concessions in exchange for peace but then proceeded to outline a tough negotiating stance. An aide to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called the proposals a “declaration of war against the Palestinians.”

Unfortunately, our U.S. legislators found his hypocritical words applauseworthy. What a shame! Hopefully the world will get this man's number soon. We can only hope.

Not very 'musical' you say? What better way to promote peace than through the universal language of music. . .

Down in a deep, dark, dank. . . **

. . . little corner of a basement in Highlandtown, we get together every Friday evening; put together plans to burn the whole thing down. Burn it to the ground. It's the world-wide church of the head-on armageddon. It's all about purity and how we're gonna get some. It's the world-wide church of the head-on Armageddon. And when our god gets his way in his heaven. There's gonna be hell to; gonna be hell to pay.

We can't afford to have anybody of another color living here. Talk to our maker he'll explain the whole thing. We are perfection you can see so clear. But we've got lots to fear. It's the world-wide church of the head-on armageddon. It's all about purity and how we're gonna get some. It's the world-wide church of the head-on Armageddon. And when our god gets his way in his heaven. There's gonna be hell to; gonna be hell to pay.

And people always ask, "Why do you talk like that? One day they'll take you all away." But when know what to say. We've got the NRA. The ACLU keeps us safe. What did you say was YOUR race?

If you don't listen to the things I'm saying, if you don't watch the little things I do. You'll be surprised. These aren't games we're playing. We will exterminate the lot of you. We believe it's true. It's the world-wide church of the head-on armageddon. It's all about purity and how we're gonna get some. It's the world-wide church of the head-on Armageddon. And when our god gets his way in his heaven. There's gonna be hell to; gonna be hell to pay.

Maybe I'm Milking It, but. . .

. . .I can't help it.

THE END OF THE WORLD

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world,
'Cause you don't love me any more?

Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when I lost your love.

I wake up in the morning and I wonder,
Why everything's the same as it was.
I can't understand. No, I can't understand,
How life goes on the way it does.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when you said goodbye.

Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world.
It ended when you said goodbye.

Posting this one early. . .

. . . just in case the world DOES end tonight, maybe you'll be able to read one more blog from me.

Well, what can I say? The only thing that bothers me about this whole WORLD ENDING TONIGHT thing is that a massive unforeseen earthquake (or other disaster), or cosmic crash, or stray meteor or WHATEVER could happen at ANY TIME. It's just a friggin' fact. That's what it's all about to be a human being in the year 2011. NOTHING IS CERTAIN. No Bible, no Quran, no Pentateuch, no Vedas, no Raelian rantings, no Golden plates - NO ANYTHING that is truly infallible nor factual. It's just we human beings in our frail, human, mortal, self-awareness. The more of us that realize that soon - THE BETTER.

BTW, someone put up a pet care website which was pretty smart. They charge a fee to take care of the pets of we sinners when we're gone and they're probably making a killing. That's the Amer-i-can way!!!
PET CARE FOR SINNERS
