More about me

 If you visit this site, please, at least, read my latest blog, maybe skim a few or subscribe, and PLEASE leave a comment, noting if you want a reply.

My blogs, SHOULD, albeit with mistakes, get progressively better, the latest being "where I'm at, now." Watch out: I have, as Johnny Cash sang, "the beast in me," at times, as do we all, but I seek ... dare I suggest, on "the Internet," with it's vast, awesome indifference, (at best?), danger(?) at worst(?)...friendship, counsel -- especially w/in this august body, the warm tolerance and quiet(?) passion, but more: "experience" that this, sometimes loving body should have.  [Plus some fun!] Please throw in a little reality: minus the irrationality, unless it's humor: I love the humor of complete idoicy(sp?).

As Poe, once wrote: "I [was CALLED, (treated-for, etc.)]...quite mad." (My punctuation.) I was "aware" of things that seemed "impossible," and I got into my share of trouble. Horrible things, like, "not cleaning my room," and "saying the wrong things in public," and of course the ever-popular "mistakes of youth."  while daydreaming, (In hopes of solving the Cosmos's problems, of course, using the Socratic method of exploration -- real aggressive, ugh.) I say this not to spread a perjorative(?) and small part, an incomplete part, of my overall makeup, but so that you can say, or know: "You heard it from me." I've done time in the puzzle house, I take medications, at this writing.  I am not sneaking around the Intenet, etc., and if you met me, you wouldn't know I was "nuts."  (lol: Some days I don't have enough time, and my life appears more boring, to others, than anything.)  I don't know if this is proper netiquette, but I've heard there're are a lot of nuts out there, and I ain't one of the "bad" ones.  At this point in my life, I am intrigued by "the metaphysical," although I've found little that isn't already documented. Call me "touched," call me "irresponsible;" just don't call me late for dinner!!!!  (lol) 

What "practical" means in this old world, I'm not quite sure.

Some of my heros include Billy Graham, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., "Gandhi," Mother Teresa, Begin and Sadat(sps????), Churchill, all the American presidents, and men/women of faith, but everyone is my hero, in a way, for we, all have to keys to life. We, all, "know something," and believe it or not, even lunatics like me make their contributions, (sometimes sideways), and i am sure that so-called  "bad" people have faith, and work tirelessly for the greater good. In the main, I enjoy life, roll w/the punches(if I have to), and have reached the age where I would give counsel, as well as seek it, and fun, among my peers.  I've been "out in the trenches" a long time. (My own fault: hubris, maybe?)

I feel I have some things to contribute, and, probably like most Eons members hope that I won't make too many mistakes. In the past, I've committed enough errors for a lifetime!!!! (And man have I paid for what most of the time were "minor" mistakes, mostly "mistakes in ignorance.")  Like most good people, I will try to put out my own fires.  As my Dad says, "I only make BIG mistakes!"

As I wrote, in Eons, somewhere: "FORGIVENESS" goes a long way w/me, and I've rarely met a stranger!  (At about 19 I hiched all over the US, and hopped freights: Can kids do that, now?)

Please send me your thoughts, advise, comments, and any "contact" potential ideas, etc.  "IF"--Kipling?Lawrence?"... if I can walk w/kings, nor lose the common touch...," is my goal, here.  (Along w/ a lot of FUN!)(and all life has to offer) -- I WILL NOT CONTACT YOU IF YOU SO DESIRE!!!!

Your (potential) "contact," a man w/a hopefully open mind,

Human 241

Lord, love a duck!!!!

And: "God bless us, every one," (Tiny Tim -- "A Christmas Carol" -- Charles Dickens, author), 'cause we, all, need it!!!!" -- moi, sorry:CD

Ps: Obviously illustrating that I am "a-work-in-progress," I have added some, new, photos: Enjoy!!!!(Live "abundantly.")

And maybe, while you're having fun: Keep your ear to the wind.

Please comment, noting if you desire contact.

 

Activities

News-junkie, when i can, participant in the lives of those about me, when I can, would like to write, produce audio-visual pieces, and get paid for it, loving my Be-loved wife the best way I know how, "Have more than I can say grace over, " as my Father says.

Favorite Charities

having almost no income, and trying to support a wife, at least, I give when I can...not much...and it bothers me...people have helped me; I have a lot of "karma, " at least, to repay, at least....'Salvation Army, Urban Ministry, local crisis center, the man/woman on the street, church?

Favorite Music

Of course "Classical, " but who has time to listen????

Favorite TV Shows

News, i hopes I can help others, somehow and "horrible stuff" seems to relieve the pressure, (horribly enough), with happy-endings, expected, (Catharsis?). Maybe I need some "middle-ground, " some "balance." I haven't enough time for even comedy!!!!

Favorite Movies

Casablanca, Play it Again, Sam, Take the Money and Run, The Magnificent Seven, will add more later, incl. Gone with the Wind and Steel Magnolias, (When Harry met Sally?), Sleepless in Seattle and You've got Mail are perennials, but "To Have and Have Not" rings a bell, lately.

Favorite Books

I've never made time to read -- though I love it, and plan to write and produce sound-visual pieces, (and must make a go of it or starve.) I like to read people. I like to read life.

Favorite Quotes

Expletive deleted-by everybody who ever spoke! Any loving or friendship words, in public, are treasured by me, as are such actions, or similar of truce, patience, even attempts at "humanity, " in this often inhumane world, for I believe these are more than the seeds of a better world.

Favorite People

My wife, my family, my friends, my enemies, why not?

Favorite Places

...workin' on it...: Rocky Mountains, home, "Wherever was Eve, there was Eden, " -- Mark Twain's "Diary of Adam and Eve, " southwestern Pennsylvania, the bosom of The South, the icy clearness of the Northeastern U.S., the bountiful rain-forest-like memories I have of Argentina, everywhere

Favorite Animals

dogs and cats, birds, platypuses and otters, the life in the seas and woods and wilds
