A DEEPER THOUGHT.......

 Yes folks there is a side of me that is soft..........(stop laughing or you'll hurt my feelers)

 It's the time of year when we are surrounded by love and family, when peace and joy fill the air as we hear the innocent laughter of children and the excitement that is filling their heads with the anticipation of Christmas day.  We all get caught up in how wonderful and heartwarming it is, yet it's so sad and almost disgraceful that we can only manage as a society to do this but once a year.

Our world is full of dysfunction......and if you don't think it's in your world LOOK AGAIN, or check your neighbors world, or their neighbors. Believe me it's there!!  Our world screams dysfunction!!

We build the tallest skyscrapers and the widest roadways.....but we tear down our fellow humans with our intolerance and closed minds.  We spend a lot of money, money that most don't have, to get the things we think will make us happy, but for all we have, for all we spend, we enjoy life less and less.  We build giant houses that remain empty except for the dog or cat that is left at home. We live in a world where each day has always had 24 hours, but we seem to have less time.  We have more knowledge, but less common sense.  We have more and more medicine and cures for what ails you....but less health each year.  We don't smile much!

We live in a world dominated by possessions, must haves, desires, but our core values have been reduced......we talk a lot, but we don't communicate.  

We love our fellow humans way too little, and we hate them way too much.

We desire to see other worlds, but fail to see our own world.  We complain when it happens to us, but turn a blind eye when it happens to someone else.  We build rockets to take us to a different universe, but we won't cross the street to meet our own neighbors.   

DYSFUNCTION 

 We are all part of it. We each have a share! However, we can also be part of the solution....So today instead of getting stressed out when you are in the long line up this holiday season.....let's start with this......maybe just smile!  It won't hurt you, I promise......just sayin...

HEY YOU.......

Ya you......the guy that called his 4 year old little boy stupid in front of all the other kids at his birthday party in the "restaurant" because the ketchup fell off his french fry onto his shirt..........and then punished him for crying...........

Congratulations

** YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!! ** 

....just sayin...

PS. I got you something............

Your Personal Badge

         ....perhaps you should stick it to your forehead!!!

OK...WE'RE DONE NOW.......

I'm the first one to admit.......I'm getting older.....but mostly in the body.....I try to be "hip", I try to be "with it"....I try to be "today".  But I have to ask......I really have to ask......since when is it fashionable, hip, cool, acceptable......to have your underwear hanging out of your pants??!!  Seriously......I truly don't get it......it drives me crazy....it really doesn't even make a difference to me whose name you have on the waistband.  In fact, you can bet that it doesn't really impress Calvin Klein or Joe Boxer that your naked butt is rubbing all over them too.  I'm almost certain that the only reason they endorsed a pair of undergarments in the first place was because they believed them to be made the best, with the utmost comfort and durability at hand, not to be flashed out of the top of the jeans you're wearing.

THE NUMBER YOU HAVE DIALED..........

Anyone that knows me...........also knows that I am not a huge fan of ever-changing technology.  I think progress in the world is fantastic...except for when it impacts human relationships and interaction.  Which brings me to the most basic of our techno-logic advances: 

Remember me??
