Reality Check

 

Scowl and stare

Glare if you dare

The world doesn't care

Whether it's fair

 

Worth or Value at a Price

If money grew on trees
Eventually there'd be
No more public property

Self Distraction

People who can't stand to be alone

Can't stand to be with themselves

Materialism

When the going gets tough

The tough go shopping

Once Upon A Time

People lived happily ever after.

Leadership

I, as of this writing, have a follower to my blog.  That makes me a leader.  I am a leader.  I take my responsibilities as leader seriously and will not let my follower down.

My first act as leader will be to dole out (Bob Dole was a leader) gingerbread houses to all the homeless.  This will also solve the hunger problem in my blogdom.  You see, a leader is always thinking.

Many have asked me (actually, nobody) that since I have solved the homeless and hunger problems what will I do about the naked problem amongst my soon to be multitude of followers.  Yes.  I agree.  There is not enough nakedness in my blogdom.  I will most certainly rectify this problem once I solve more pressing matters that need to be ironed out.

Why is the sky blue?  Hey! Who put peanut butter in my chocolate!?  Who put chocolate in my peanut butter!?

Thank you for following my leadership.

Greatness Declared

A great nation does not deserve great art.

A great nation produces great art.

If a great nation does not produce great art

It does not deserve great art.

Nor is it a great nation.

The above is based on a public radio announcement I repeatedly hear. I found it odd that a great nation (meaning us) were not to create great art because we are great but rather we are entitled to great art because we are great. If we are great our art should be a sign of it. If we don’t have great art that should say something about our greatness. And the fact that we feel entitled to something we aren’t doing says even more.

And who decides what is great art? Maybe we have it and the people running the ad aren’t great enough to see it. If we are a great nation there should be great art out there already and these people need to come down from their ivory tower and find it instead of telling us we are entitled to what we don’t have when we in fact already have it. Or admit we don’t have it and then rethink what it means to be a great nation and whether or not we are one.
