1. For What It’s Worth 296 Calendar
Days left
Well, it’s finally a Friday and I am looking forward to
sleeping in this weekend, at least for a couple of days. J
Born too late
I really think I was born maybe 5-10 years late, just
because I feel such a strong affinity to the hippie lifestyle, music, etc. I love music from the 60s and early 70s, I
drive a VW Hippie Bus, and I am one of the most liberal people I know. Is this wrong to feel this way? It seems like I missed out on being who I am.
I feel out of place most of the time and long to be around people who think the
way I do. I have had many people call me
a hippie and I do not take offense to that one bit. In fact, I take it as a
complement actually. I try to love my
fellow man in all I do, except maybe during freeway driving. Even then, I try to understand people may be
in a hurry or are maybe late for some appointment, or they are just idiots or
bad drivers, most likely the latter.
Anyway, I could listen to all the old 60s and 70s music all
day and never miss any of the new stuff coming out today. There is good stuff coming out, but I am
highly selective and I like what I like. Music is an important part of my life
more than almost any other social stimulus including TV, theatre, films,
internet, etc. I have four different iPods filled with my music, including the
one in my iphone and my music library in my MacBook Air laptop. I have to have
my music. When I used to travel lots for work, I had an iPod, which really
saved my sanity sitting in airports and airplanes for hours on end. I don’t
mind half of life’s waiting games as long as I have my tunes to get me through
it all. It does keep me sane and
mentally occupied. Thank you Apple, Inc for all your great inventions! God Speed, Steve Jobs!
Lately I have been playing some oldie bands such as Buffalo
Springfield, Three Dog Night, and Tommy James and the Shondells. They can be
considered a cross between folk music/rock music/and even psychedelic music.
Like I said, I must have been born kinda late.
Now let’s talk about Facebook. FB is a double-edged sword
really. On one hand, it is a great tool to keep in touch with friends and
family. I never would of found some of
these people I consider friends that I had lost touch with years ago without
FB. For that, I am thankful. It is great
to hear from peeps back home and those spread out all over this globe. It is
sad when you do find out bad news such as when a friend passes away, but
otherwise you would never have known that had occurred. I have found out about
dear friends that have passed away through FB, and some of these people had
touched my life in a meaningful way that they may not have ever known. I feel
slighted that I never got to tell them thanks for being there for me and for
being a friend to me when I needed one.
It may not have even been a big deal to them, but it was a big deal to
me that they showed me kindness when they really did not have to. God speed to all my recently departed
friends! I’ll see you on the other side!
With all that being said, I need to write me up a will so I
will be prepared for that fateful day when my number finally comes up. I don’t currently have a house, all I have is
some miscellaneous stuff, you know the normal stuff we all have, plus my 911
Carrera Coupe (Joe Cool) and my VW bus, Linus. I do plan on keeping them both
for life but I am not too sure who to leave these two vehicles to.
I really love these two vehicles so much and I try to take
the best care of them that I can, like they are my babies. I would hate for
them to just fall into total disrepair due to being neglected by someone being
irresponsible or not as passionate as I am towards these precious
vehicles. I have babied these vehicles with
tons of TLC and have put a lot of blood, seat and tears as well as time and thousands
of dollars rebuilding, restoring and customizing them to be as good and
reliable as they can be.
So, I solicit your ideas for what I should do. Should I donate them to a worthy cause? I
welcome your thoughts, ideas or suggestions.
