Hello All!
Well, this is a new one for me…I decided that instead of subjecting my poor, patient husband to continued rants over the dinner table (and other inconvenient places) I would get out my daily squidgees in a blog. I have much to say, as we all should. Tickets are available for a seat in the handbasket to hell, although I like to think that we’re not too far gone just yet.
Much of this may seem incomprehensible (or perhaps if you love me you’d say "stream of consciousness"). At any rate, Life is a hell of a voyage, and you’re all invited to grab an oar and row along with me! Those who know me will shake your heads knowingly…those who don’t may shake your fists. Both are okay by me…all I really want is to remind everyone not to go gently into that good night. It is incumbent upon all of us to
think
care
strive
reach out
fight
learn
distrust
trust
find
ask
teach
savor
experience
love
with everything we’ve got. No guts, no glory, right?
Lest it sound like I’m trying to fashion myself the "Guru on the Mountain", be assured I’m not. I can’t EVEN take myself seriously enough for that. I’m just a human who has become disheartened at the state of things and intent on doing my wee bit to make things better.
You’re all welcome to comment, and there will be no censorship (at least not any of mine… Blogger.com may feel differently; and since they’re our hosts here, please have a care and govern yourselves accordingly!) I believe in looking at all sides, even when folks disagree with me. As a matter of personal preference, I must admit that with so many things nowadays being unnecessarily ugly, I’d prefer that such disagreement be as respectful as can be managed, and I will endeavor to hold myself to the same standard.
Mind you...that doesn't mean you can't use profanity...I've got a mouth like a stevedore myself (anyone who knows me knows this, unless they're a child or a senior citizen...well...SOME senior citizens!) I really believe that language is what it is, and there is no such thing as BAD language.
My idea about respect and kindness and courtesy has less to do with the language used and far more to do with the motivation, y'know? I’d love it if this site could be a wee oasis in the desert of well-considered thought (God, I love it when people THINK!) humor, respect, intelligence and free people.
The world is still a truly amazing place, never doubt it. It’s never as bad as we are told, and never as good as it is capable of being. It is also positively NEVER dull…and if you find it so, then you’re just not paying attention! I believe that there is great need for revolution…of thought, of action, of our willingness to go along with the same ol’ same ol’.
Please note that all entries in this blog are strictly the opinion of the author (when it comes to comments, who knows?). While you are free at all times to disagree with my opinion, I will ask that you respect my right to express it, as I will respect yours. They can have my First Amendment rights when they pry them out of my cold, dead intellect…and not before.
Well, that’s all the wisdom I can manage for today without making my head hurt (probably yours as well!). Take care, keep in touch…and remember:
Never give up, NEVER SURRENDER!

This entry, as all of my entries, is completely my work (with the exception of links and shares) and is my opinion alone. I don’t mind a bit if people disagree with me; all I ask is that you do it in a reasonably civil fashion, out of respect for all intelligent, decent humans. Thanks!
