Ego . . .

 

https://quotesgram.com/people-with-big-ego-quotes/

Sometimes I can get my point across,

And I do it rather well.

You can see

What I think

About me.

It's just my ego.

It gets the best of me.

It's just my ego

It just won't let me be,

It just won't let me be alone.

It's not one of my most redeeming qualities.

Still though it serves me rather well sometimes.

It won't be easy to just let it go,

It's just my ego.

I take such great pride in what I do.

Everyone should take some too.

Don't you think;

Pride in me,

Not in you?

There's a fine distinction between confidence and pride.

There's a fine distinction that I'll never know.

Cloaked with some discretion you emerge from the inside.

I emerge in all my glory. 

What is there to hide?

Mother said that I would never make

Any friends if I don't see

What I'm like,

If I don't lose some pride.

        Black & White Then Back

One . . .

 . . . Of many inaccuracies in our history

https://xqsuperschool.org/rethinktogether/decolonizing-american-history-textbooks/

(from https://www.milwaukeeindependent.com/heather-richardson/rewriting-history-matters-cannot-make-good-decisions-future-inaccurate-knowledge/)

". . . Historians long ago put aside the heroic story of the Alamo, which told of freedom-loving Americans fighting off a Mexican tyrant who was trying to crush a fledgling republic. In the past several decades, so many historians have rewritten this history that Brands noted the new retelling “sometimes appear[s] to be beating a horse that, if not dead, was put to pasture awhile back.” . . . Historians have explained how Mexican officials, eager to stabilize their northern borderlands after their own agreements with Apache tribes fell apart, permitted Americans to settle in what is now Texas. Americans moved to the area to grow cotton in the boom years of that era. When Mexico banned slavery in Texas in 1830, Americans rebelled. In October 1835, they joined with Mexican opponents of President Antonio López de Santa Anna’s government and went to war. . . Historians study how societies change. In order to do that, we examine sources created at the time – newspapers, teapots, speeches, tweets, photographs, landscapes, and so on – and judge what we think happened by comparing these primary sources to things other historians have said, on the basis of evidence they have found. We argue a lot. But if we cannot see an ever-widening story, we cannot give an accurate account of how societies change. . . An inaccurate picture of what creates change means that people cannot make good decisions about the future. They are at the mercy of those who are creating the stories. Knowledge is indeed power.". . . "

            Ambience & Wine

Classic . . .

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/oho

There are definitely more than one "OHO" on the international music scene today.  I would venture to say,  that Jay Graboski's OHO probably preceded them all, having its beginnings in the early 1970s. The band has undergone many changes in personnel and musical styles but is still going strong today. Although not from the very beginning, this video captures the group in one of its many, varied, but always wonderful incarnations.

Star . . .

 

https://www.space.com/21702-sirius-brightest-star.html

A star, by any other name,

May still shine very brightly.

We see them nearly everyday

Almost to points unsightly.

The joy in finding by yourself,

One such phenomenon,

Instead of simply from the shelf,

Is that it's real and not a con.

cad

/kad/

nounDATED•INFORMAL

noun: cad; plural noun: cads

a man who behaves dishonorably, especially toward a woman.

"her adulterous cad of a husband"

Cad

Whenever you call me

And I’m not on the phone,

If you have a problem

And you find me at home,

You know you can

Count on me that much.

If you said you need me,

Just a couple days, I’m there.

I’ll drop what I’m doing

If it’s something I don’t care about

You can count on me that much.

Ours is just like one of those fairytales.

Ours is just like one of those shows. 

One thing bout our love that’s different;

It’s not a love that grows.

I’ll always be with you

When there’s nothing else to do.

When everyone’s busy

There’ll be only me and you.

It’s clear you can count on me that much.

Would you say it’s all you’ve been hoping for?

Would you really prefer something new?

Where else would you get this much

Attention devoted to you?

So don’t think you’re not special.

You’re kind of special to me.

There’s no one else like you.

Well maybe there’s just two or three.

Be sure you can count on me that much.

That Much

                 Critic’s Choice

Unashamed . . .

https://www.facebook.com/FriedrichNietzscheAuthor/

 

Should every man yield to the yearning unashamed
Without hypocrisy and wastefulness;
Squander the strength he’s been endowed with;
Feign superiority as tunnel vision’s all he sees?


I’m trying to develop a superman;
Dionysus evolving into perfect humanity.

Gadding about helping each other get along
Won’t make us build the kind of man I see.
Inferiors are weak copies of betters
Printed on bad paper from old and worn-out plates now gone.

Selection, survivors mastering;
Bettering the species, irrespective of
Everything you’ve ever learned
About what’s right or wrong.

You hear the word, you’re quoting scripture that you learned
Originating from a deity.
But should that motivate your actions?
Such self-serving rewarding scheme. 

Yours or mine, that’s what both seem.
