  • Size does matter....

    In women's basketball, the tallest lady usually gets the most baskets. Same goes for men's basketball... I feed birds in my front yard and watch them compete for the food. I have only seen two species fight over the food: saw a blue jay ward off a starling. The starling was a tad bit bigger I thou...
  • How the mind works:

    Our minds can harbor fear for years...intimidate us from trying harder at whatever task we wish to accomplish... It is very confusing, but I will try to give you some examples... If you have failed at something, you might be afraid to try again. Or, you try, but that scared feeling is still in your...
  • People

    People can be rude, crude, unprofessional, deceiving, clever, not so cleaver People can hurt your feelings, be crass, scornful People can sometimes be nice, polite, understanding, loving, caring People bother me sometimes. Even my sisters can upset me, especially when it comes to asking for finan...

  • A feeling of disbelief from the loneliness person in the world.

    WHEN WE ARE CHILDREN, WE WANT TO PLAY HOUSE AND DRESS UP LIKE ADULTS. MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND I HAD A MUSICAL GROUP AND PLAYED CHURCH MASS. SOME ADULTS WANT TO BE A KID AGAIN- ELTON JOHN DID...IN A SONG OF HIS. WOULD FORTUNE AND FAME BE THE DECIDING FACTOR TO BE THE HAPPY ONE? WILL YOU EVER ...
  • Bachelor- tired of retirement- for hire.....

    For those of you here who have gotten to know me...you... Might recall that I have been a mite restless as of late... I have not worked a real job since 2010. And of course, I have been struggling.... Spent a few years taking care of my dad who developed vascular dementia, and that was cool. He p...
  • sleep study

    When I sleep I dream often. I have to get up and use the restroom about seven [7] times a night until the sun comes up. My dreams are very strange and scary sometimes.... I hate not sleeping soundly. Is it because I eat and drink beer at night- only a few beers- but lots of food because I am hungry...
  • The real meaning of: CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS-

    Most people probably relate to 'cleanliness is next to godliness' as a term to keep your house clean....or whatever- clean and spotless.... My house and car are clean but not spotless or disinfected regularly.... But after reading many of Tony's blogs, I discovered in my spirit that this term or pr...

  • I AM TRULY UPSET

    I am upset over the current World we live in..... When I was a little boy, my parents, nor on TV that I could see- were never obese people- were never gay people! My parents were farmers and they could not get fat because they worked so hard. Many people today refuse to lift a finger and work, real...

    I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED COLORS, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! AND I'M QUITE SURE YOU CAN SEE ALL THE COLORS IN LIFE JUST BY TAKING A WALK  OUTSIDE.... HOPEFULLY, I CAN PORTRAY TO YOU A COLORFUL PERSONALITY IN ME AS WELL... ALTHOUGH I SELDOM FEEL COLORFUL, PERHAPS SINCE IT'S BEEN COLD OUTSIDE. HOPE...

    Now What- I continue to ask myself, what should I do now that I have not already experienced? There are many things I will not try.... But I have worked 70% of my life; had many girlfriends; Researched many religions; had a great family- not my own, never been married.... So is that it, get marri...
  • Nature Gods

    I can look out my window every day and see miracles.... This morning I witnessed a cat basking in the Sun. How simple of a chore. Why can't society / individuals see the beauty in nature, and; stop looking for the fame and fortune in money and property, in churches, in any material things? I like t...

  • Depression

    Yesterday, as I suffered from a familiar kind of depression; I realized it was one of many depressive attitudes I come by.... Being alone is one of them- not having anyone to talk to. Not working is another, because I have had too many crazy jobs working around crazy people. Then, there is my...

  • Singular problem that I've had for years on end....

    Not to freak anyone out, but I've had a concern in my life and probably in many others' that haunts me; but it may not haunt you....It has been going on since I was a teen, or tween.... Why is it, that the central thinking in my brain is my libido, if it is normal, if it is working, does it control...
  • Is Humor a productive tool for Calmness?

    I HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES HOW USING HUMOR CAN BE THERAPEUTIC IF YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY.... SOME HUMOR HOWEVER CAN HURT SOMEONE- SO BE THOUGHTFUL AND THINK THRICE BEFORE WRITING YOUR JOKE OR SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT ANOTHER PERSON... WATCH A COMEDY IF YOU ARE DOWN AND OUT.... GO SEE A COMEDIAN O...
