It's true what my Father told me long ago, that if you don't remind people every so often of how it used to be, then people will forget.

When it comes to music, most people only know a group by their greatest hits albums.

Like anything else historical, one must delve deeper than the surface to understand what something is all about.

Here is a random example:


True Beatles fans know the song well. People from that era at least heard it a few times... either at parties as part of the album, or on an FM station, when FM stations were cool and not top 40ish.

So much has changed in the world. Taking a step back now and then helps to understand where we were once and where we are going.

Later on brothers and sisters.

Saturday night dancing in a nighty... brings back some fond memories.

Nighties are SO sexy!

Too bad there isn't sound here.


Have a sexy Saturday.

I have found that sometimes it's better not to say anything at all than to anger or lose a friend from too much honesty.

Case in point:

I have a friend who comments on everything I say, whether it's relevent to the situation or not.

Just speaking to be heard is not conversing... I know you're there.

It pisses me off when you do it, and makes me not want to talk to you, unless I open up a can of vocal kick-ass!

I love honesty if it relates to what I'm saying, but sometimes? It's like the old saying...

discretion is the better part of valor.

Dig it?

After visiting three cemeteries and seeing the deplorable conditions this year by all of the caretakers (an oximoron in this case!), I was saddened. I even had to pull weeds from around my Father's military plaque. The grass everywhere looked as though it hadn't been cut in three weeks. Shame on them all!

Took a little break from my movie marathon to bitch. Now I need a laugh:


Have a onderful day, y'all.

I'm starting my annual Memorial Day movie marathon a little different this year.

I had a chance to record an Australian movie a couple of days ago: from 2010, "Tomorrow, When the War Began". Sort of reminded me of the old American movie "Red Dawn" with Patrick Sawayze. Almost all of the actors in this movie are now starring in other things. Great young cast!

Tonight it will be "Saving Private Ryan". Tommorrow, the complete "Band of Brothers"... before and after I visit family and friends at three cemeteries.

Oh, and Tighty? I'm not inviting you to this years' festivities out of respect for your distaste for war movies.

Much love to you and everyone else,

Jake

After waiting for a train, I was driving in the usual traffic slow down. While cruising along at 20 mph, I noticed a residential street sign... Hemlock. Can you imagine someone saying "I live on Hemlock".

I have a male friend that I like to kid because he lives on:

Dicks.

lol

I have been voted least read and commented blog on NN.

No surprise here... saw that one comming a mile away.

It's a Stewie kind of day.
