Grits, Grits, Grits?

Grits are the official prepared food of Georgia.

I had the opportunity to go to Savannah.

Positively, Lyrics Day.

It's lyrics day.

"And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place
Don't you understand, it's not my problem."
Bob Dylan, from the song "Positively 4th Street." I have always liked Bob Dylan. I heard a similar song today, and just wanted to post.

"You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Do something that's never been done."

Coldplay, from the song Talk. This is from the album, X & Y.

It is day 11 pf the Blogathon.

thank you. THE END.

Email Antics. And, The Oak Cliff Film Fest. It's Not Too Late. Oh, Yeah It Is

I have a friend who suggested divorcing yourself from your devices for a while. (It means electronic devices, including phone and computer).
This was a while ago. In light of this, I am trying various ways to not allow myself to be an email addict.

Two small suggestions (And yes, divorce yourself now... please).

I try to not check email on my phone, if I am near a computer. I've been minimizing the emails I send from my phone.

On Saturday and Sunday, does email need to be checked 3 times a day? I think not.

On to:
You have missed the second (annual) run of the Oak Cliff Film Festival. This was at the Texas Theatre. It ended on Sunday. However, you can catch the third run next year.
Then you, and only you, can say, "I was hanging out at the OCFF."


The End.
Thank you for your awesome and clueless patronage.

Is Your Mission Finished?

Writer Richard Bach said:

"Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't."

Richard Bach was recently injured in a plane crash, and is now recovering.
In the 1970s he wrote a book that inspired a movie, with a soundtrack by none other than Neil Diamond.

THE END.
Happy June 9.

I could not decide if I liked the above photo, so here is another one of Richard Bach:


Also, thank you to Gloria, of course ... who exposed me to this quote.

Millennial Generation, You Are So Lucky?

I was listening to the news the other day, and there was a reference to the "millennials" or generation Y.

I was annoyed at first that I am not part of the millennial generation. (Again, I'm 36).

Then I thought about it, and quickly thought, would I really want to be a millennial? I don't think I would like it.

In summary, I'm pretty old... Not old, but old enough to make the references you see in my blog.

Happy June. Also Happy June 8.
(It is day 8 of the blogathon. It means I have to blog the whole month).

Local Singer Amber Carrington. And, Happy June

Amber Carrington is someone I read about recently, as a contestant on The Voice.
Although she recently forgot some lyrics to a Skid Row song (Gasp), she is still on the show.

When I first read about her I knew nothing, so I looked her up.

The summary: I am not a fan of the big hair, jewelry, or the high-heeled boot things. But, the Dallas area songstress has a strong, strong voice. Even if she does not win on the Voice, her voice will take her far.
Happy June.

THE END.

Alice,
Not in a big hair way, north dallas homegirl

Thank you for reading.

It is Day 7 of the blogathon.

Blaine Knows Hair. And, An Awesome Repairman

There is an event tonight called Blaine's Color 6th Annual Hair Color Preview. It is at 7 pm. Sharp.
I don't know who Blaine is. It would not be fun for me, but if you get excited about hair color, then go!
The fee for the hair viewing is 10.00.
The event is at Sisu "resort".

Oh yeah.
I had a repairman visit the house today. He was from Sears home repair. Earlier we had a repairman, from the same place.
During the scheduled window, he did not show up... then he came 3 hours later.
But this repairman was on time, and did everything professionally. The first experience made me feel glad, now, that someone was doing their job.

The point of this is: Byron, you are an awesome repairman.

The End.

The Postal Service. And, Juanes in Dallas. Es la verdad.

Hello:

The postal service may not be what you think.

I read about this band, that was recently in Dallas, and wanted to find out more. After 2 tries, I found a song that is pretty good on You tube. The electronic-mania song is called Such Great Heights.

You must be craving Juanes:
Juanes will be in Dallas tomorrow night. It will be at the Verizon theatre in Grand Prairie ... at 8 p.m.
What I know about Juanes, is: I am a big fan. His concert in Bogota recently drew 10,000 people.

Have a good Wednesday. The End.
