Happy New Year, people ...

Mid-Term Elections Are About a Month Away ... Please vote, people. Please.

B R E A K I N G  N E W S ...

Okay, perhaps mainstream media outlets like to hype up, possibly exaggerate current event scenarios, but the one about democracy about to be stripped? Open your eyes and your ears and your mind. Pay attention to the truth of what you hear coming out of the mouths of some of these candidates across the country. The potential loss of democracy is REAL. Your vote does matter. YOUR life and the lives of all your loved ones, hopefully, matter to you. Please don't waste your opportunity to vote by not voting in these mid-term elections, and please, by all means, take the threat of the loss of democracy as REAL. If I may suggest, please cast your vote for sensibility and not for some sinister derisory.

Are we having a good ol', face slappin' time yet? WTF?!?

War, war is stupid and people are stupid and love means nothing in some strange quarters ... (sung circa 1984 by a Boy named George)

The War Song

Culture Club

War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And I heard them banging on hearts and fingers
War

People fill the world with narrow confidence
Like a child at birth, a man with no defence
What's mine's my own, I won't give it to you
No matter what you say, no matter what you do

Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me?

War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And I heard them banging on hearts and fingers
War

Man is far behind in the search of something new
Like a philistine, we're burning witches too
This world of hate must be designed for you
It matters what you say, it matters what you do

Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me?

War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And I heard them banging on hearts and fingers
War, war war

After the bird has flown
He walked ten thousand miles back home
You can't do that to me, no, you can't do that to me
You can't do that to me, no, you can't do that to me

War, war

In this heart of mine, I'll find a place for you
For black or white, for grown-up children too

Now we're fighting in our hearts
Fighting in the streets
Won't somebody help me?

War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And love means nothing in some strange quarters
War, war is stupid and people are stupid
And I heard them banging on hearts and fingers

No more war
Say no more war
Say war
I said woah, said no more war, said no more war, said woah
Said no more war, I said no more war
Senso hant-ai
Senso hant-ai
Say no more war
Say no more, no more war, said no more war
Said no more war, said no more war, oh

HAPPY FEBRUARY!

THUG LIFE

So it’s 9am ET on Tuesday, April 20, 2021. Marijuana day. 4/20. Is that still a “thing”? The whole 420 joke? I don’t know. I was never into marijuana.

It’s been a minute since anything has been posted … just feelin’ like sharing some thoughts – afore this verdict in the Derek Chauvin case. Already nervous that the jury hadn’t reached a decision the instant they returned to their deliberation room. How, why was that business not settled last night? What the hell are y’all doin’?!

Chaaa…

How sad is it that there’s a chance Chauvin will get away with murder?

How sad is it that business owners in Minneapolis already boarded up their windows – because they anticipate the right thing (convicting Chauvin) could possibly come out wrong? (not convicting Chauvin) And they expect(?) that the wrong thing will cause people to lose their ability to control themselves and violence will take place. How sad is that?

Rhetorical questions, y’all …

I shake my head at the possibles, the hypotheticals …

Hmph. And that’s all I can do. Shake my head. Wish. And then I shake my head that that’s all I can do … Hmph.

Right now? Believe it or not, right now, I’m not even caring that it was a white cop killing a black man. It was a murder. One man killed another man. Caught on tape and we had to waste time with a stupid trial and now a good chunk of the country (the world?) actually is wondering what will happen. How sad is that?

We need fixing. STAT!
