My Buddy Ed In Florida sends this along...
16 years old Peter goes to the priest: "Father, I came to confess!"Heh. Facebook, too, prolly. Eventually one gets to a point where they don't publish everythang that happens to 'em, but I suppose it takes a while.
"No need, I read your blog."

Buck,
ReplyDeleteMaybe the artist saw this, (which I posted on the old Washington Rebel site (and American Digest):
To blog, or not to blog - that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The daily affront to the intelligence of a nine-year-old,
Or to take up pen against a bottomless sea of horseshit,
And by refuting lay the whackhammer on this crap once and for good.
To quit, to snooze evermore;
And by ignoring it say we end the assault on human dignity
That is our hourly lot - 'tis a consummation devoutly to be pined for.
To let it slide, perchance to dream: aye, there's the sticky.
For in that final doze what nightmares wait
When we have taken on the long dirt nap,
Must give us pause: there's the head-scratcher
That makes a grinder of so long life:
For who would bear the pokes and whacks of time,
The idiot's insolence, the proud man's scorn,
The pain of spurned honor, the law's dismissal,
The insolence of politicians and the sneers
That patient forbearance of assholes takes,
When he himself might shut them the fuck up
With a mere keyboard? Who would insults take,
To piss and moan under a weary trip,
But that the dread of Something Later,
The unthought-of place from whose precincts
Nobody comes back, befuddles the will
And makes us rather settle for the Devil we know
Than fly to something scary?
Thus analysis paralysis does make sissies of us all;
And thus the innate color of common sense
Is faded out with the beige tint of overthinking,
And enterprises of great piss and vinegar
With this consideration their currents stop midstream,
And lose the tag of doing something about it. - Shh!
The fair Liberty! Maid in thy anthems
Be all my fuckups remember'd.
Well played, Rob, albeit slightly negative.
DeleteI wonder how many of today's young people will not be able to engage in one-on-one communication, face-to-face, in the next decade?
ReplyDeleteI wonder about that TODAY.
