James Dean, Sharon Tate, Buddy Holly…..etc. Their images are frozen in time, aren't they?Yes sir, and it looks like my smart ass flag was flying here, too. What am I to do? Sorry.What about Elvis, John Lennon, and .... so many others? If it is true that the good die young, why am I so old?
Phidippides – I'm going to read the Rainbow 6 book. I feel like the actor in State of Fear. Finished it today, but have not read all of the supporting documentation, but am impressed. How many novels incorporate such a volume of real world data? My life falls short, for sure. Sorry about my tequila soaked comments. As I stepped through them this morning, I was astounded because they had no logical foundation, which is even more embarrassing. Enough said.
Well shut my mouth, he said in the sober light of dawn. My keyboard needs an automatic disable feature when it detects alcohol. :-[
There's another one - Rainbow Six - by Tom Clancy that centers on eco-terrorists on a large scale. It must have come out in 1998 or so but I'm sure it would still be impressive today.
Gee, I am impressed about your failure to recognize old literature. Who could have dreamed current individuals that could not see the drain?
Sorry, my horns are aways there, and you pointed out another book by this guy. Guess I need to get off my cute ass — sorry, kidding again. But, really, yeah, I bet you weenies wish you could pronounce “significant author”, or Kentucky Fried Chicken. More news later at 11:00 – that would be 23:00 hours, land lubber time ….Some may say get with a real clock. I say, get a real clock. Clocks in a submarine always show where the sun is. So your assignment, Mr. , is to find where your submarine actualluy went. As submarines always submerge when tuna attact, itis best to imagine your tax dollars are spent elsewhere.But we all know your tax dollars are wasted every year. What did your last statement say? What? You dare to tell me you have not demanded a statement from US explaining the use of your hard earned taxes. That you payed back? But wait, who is paying taxes here, and to whom? Can it be that government is charging us for ..... being? No, government can't do that - it would be illegal. Right? Or is it? Can government actually rob us? With illegal taxes, et cetera? Seems they can, because you fools let them do so. Every day of every week. Just my though, but is it not time to turn things around? Like rip government a new asshole? Or are you weenies just going to roll over? And die?
I mean, why did Einstien cut his ear off? Or Newton deny apples falling from trees? This history forms an uneasy feeling in me. I mean, why are we not free? A government so young and dedicated to freedom has failed us. Why?
As humans, we are doomed to repeat past historical mistakes. Possibly, past behavior survives many generations, blinding them to recorded history, and so instigates yet more self destructive cycles. Who knows?Ice cream, anyone?
Dabbling in definitions, you may be. By what standard can you even begin to believe the U.S. has not interrutped the sovernity of any foreign nation since WWII? I mean, we are the biggest, baddest bully on the block. No wonder we suffer a few bites and bruises along the way.
I never met the man, but I delivered some deck chairs to his hill top home in Carmel Valley, California, circa 197 whatever – my memories fade when specific years come to mind. He was not there at the time, but I was impressed with the property on top of the costal range just south of the Carmel Valley Village – what a spot!I also helped moved some stuff down to Linus Pauling's place, but that's another story.
Two movies will be released soon:"The Illusionist", starring Ed Norton, takes place in late-Victorian era Vienna.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454824/"Flyboys", starring James Franco (Spiderman, City by the Sea), is the story of American pilots who joined the French to fight during the First World War. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0454824/They should be interesting.
Viewed "The Illisionist" recently on cable, but missed the openening minutes due to channel skipping syndrome (CSS). Good film, I give it 3 and half baked potatoes. Even though I missed the openening minutes, I was caught, transfixed even, from the onset. Don't miss it, or I won't get my royalty for promoting it.
I recall seeing the film shortly after its introduction, which was back in the day when buying popcorn and soda did not threaten one's monthly budget, but the rush on the theater's soda fountain was extraordinary during intermission!
