Happy Caturday

Hey folks, it's Caturday again. So, here are some LOL cats for your Caturday enjoyment.

OK, that's all I have for this Caturday. Enjoy the day as best you can. Oh, as always, please try to be nice to each other. 

Another crap day, but some good songs to help make it nicer

Still not feeling very good today, but I decided to post some links to three good songs to try and make up for my crap attitude.
Yeah, it's Paul Simon day at the Korner. I have not had any requests for any song yet so, I'll just post the ones I like. Will I ever consider posting a requested song? Maybe. I'd need a link to hear it first. If I like it or think others might like it, I'd probably post a link to it.  Just go back a few posts her and re-listen to the one I linked to; "Write Me a Song". Yep, I don't want any sad songs. I prefer upbeat songs. From those I posted yesterday, you can see I like fun songs as well. 

OK, here we go with three from Paul Simon. 
I still have fond memories of good old Kodachrome, damn nice film, even though you had to send it off for processing.

Kodachrome

You can call me Al
Great video of Paul and Chevy Chase acting up. Great song also. 

The Boy in the Bubble

OK, that is all for today. Oh, tomorrow is Caturday  again. Yes, I do have a bunch of LOL cats set to pounce here for Caturday. Wait for it……..it is still Friday here in CenLa.

Until then, just please TRY to be nice to each other.

Trump proves beyond any doubt that 'Merikkka is a failed mess

OK, how's that for a provocative headline? Did it get your attention? Probably not, but big damn deal. He got rid of Tillerson only to now want to put this Pompeo critter, who has been the CIA main critter until now as our Secretary of State. Oh, he, the orange haired rodent, wants to turn the running of the CIA over to a woman who was part of the torture mess when W. Shrub was POTUS and this same woman had a hand in running a secret CIA prison in Thailand in 2002 where prisoners were waterboarded. 

So, now just try, goddamn father fucking TRY to tell me that 'Merikkka is not going to total shit. Come on, I dare you to even try telling me how the orange haired rodent is "making 'Merikkka great again". Again? Screw that shit right now. When was 'Merikkka ever great? Oh sure in the late 1940's and into the 50's it was better off than most of the rest of the world. Well, that was because most all of Europe and Russia/the Soviet Union and Japan were still trying to bury their dead and rebuild after WW2. South America and Australia were not attacked, but the economies of those places weren't a match for 'Merikkka at the time. So, ok, maybe, in some respects 'Merikkka was "great" compared to the rest of the world. However, we got fat and damn lazy and by the late 60's/early 70's this country was being left behind. Any of you old enough to remember the first gasoline crunch? I remember that time. Lines to buy gas, gas available only during certain hours of the day. Made life a bit rough for us working class folks, but what the hell, that is how the system was built up in the first place. Screw the working class, as long as the rich get ever richer, then all is right in the world. Yep, the real golden rule; them what has the gold makes the rules. Oh, and the working class does not have the gold. 

Well fuck it! Seriously. I am damn near considering ending this blog and just taking my computer to the junk shop and busting into tiny parts. Run the damn thing through an industrial strength shredder.
Hell, my health is failing faster than I figured it would. Actually I am not upset by that. I had thought, once upon a time, that when my end came near I'd fight for every last second of it. Now, I think I'd be very happy to just go to sleep tonight and never wake up again. I'm tired, tired of fighting the system. Tired of fighting with very, very few who give a shit about the fight. Yeah, go back a few posts and listen to that song "Monster" again. Remember the words? "America where are you now? Don't you care about your sons and daughters? Don't you know we need you now? We can't fight alone against the monster." Yeah, well, where the hell is everybody? Oh, right, got their noses buried in farcebook, twitter, snapchat, or some other bullshit "social media" crap hole. 
Piss on that shit people. I'm 70 years old, in very poor health and I'm fucking wore out from a life time of trying to get people to listen.  Oh, I won't just quit. Never learned how to do that. Wish I could though. Instead I may just stop reading any hard news sites. Yeah, that might work, just check the LOL cats, the Onion, Babylonbee.com and maybe a blog to three. 

Well, just because I feel like shit, all I am going to add today are a few links to some fun old songs. I might post some LOL cats for this coming Caturday, but if you want commentary on the news, well, you may not find that here much ever again. Maybe never again. I am wore out, tired nearly all day long, and just getting to where I don't know if me giving a shit matters any more. Hell, I wonder if it ever did matter. Yeah, tell me I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself. Well, that is your opinion, but it is wrong. I'm just goddamn tired is all. 

OK, here we go with some great old songs. Enjoy them, or not, your choice. 

Little Nash Rambler

Along came Jones


Poison Ivy

Yakety Yak

Charlie Brown

Searching'

Well, that is more than I planned to post so, enjoy these great old songs. Yes, I listened to them all way back when they were new. There was a diner that had min juke boxes at each booth when I was a kid in northern Illinois. Every time we went there to eat, I always played the Beep beep song and Charlie Brown. Oh, each song only cost a whole nickel to play. They even got to where you could play six (6) song for a quarter. Sounded like a sweet deal, except my entire weekly allowance back then was a quarter. 

Well,until next time, IF there is a next time, try and be nice to each other. Or, if you want to act like an asshat, go ahead and do so. Just don't cry to me if somebody kicks the crap out of you for acting like an asshat. Hey, this IS 'Merikkka in 2018 and it seems that everybody is highly pissed at everybody else, so you may want to be a bit careful. Your life, your choice. Me, I'm not going to change. I'm still going to try and treat all those I come in contact with each day the way I want to be treated. Yeah, even though I am pissed off and am looking forward with great anticipation to my last breath, I'll still try to be nice to others. Why? Because that is how I want to live my life. My life, my choices.  Deal with it……or not, Your choice.

Just found this and it needed to be shared

Had a rough night. Woke up early and found the following at good old (he may not be that old, it's just an expression) Atheist Jack. It does help overcome the sadness of the death of Stephen Hawking yesterday.

Stephen Hawking doG

Hey, I enjoyed it. If it offends your religious fantasies, well, tough beans and hard cheese.

A sad news day

Well, this shows I need to look at the real news (assuming such still exists) before checking the Onion.
Stephen Hawking died today. He was 76 and had dealt with having ALS for his entire adult life. This man explored more of the universe from a wheel chair than the rest of us can even begin to imagine.
I have a copy of one of his popular books; "A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes". I have reread that book more than a few times. 
Humanity lost one of its brightest thinkers and one of our most original today.
I has a sad. 

I just could not pass up sharing this one

Hey there readers, I was surfing the old interwebs this morning and when I went to one of my favorite sites, yep, the Onion, I found an article that I knew immediately I needed to share with you.

I just found out about socks

Now of course me being an old broken down heather/pagan/atheist I knew this moron MUST be one of them new college graduate from 'Merikkka. Yeah, so I did serve honorably in the US Marines and even did a tour in that damn fool, useless war in Vietnam. Well, I figure I earned the right to be as critical of 'Merikkka as anybody else. 

Oh, just a bit of FYI (for your information) to add on to this article. Did you know that socks were actually invented as hand warmers? Yep, tis true, but, that idea went down to defeet.  De feet. Get it? Oh, come ON people, it is a joke. If you didn't at least almost sort of smile at that, well, you are one damn good liar. Bet some of you laughed hard enough to need to clean your keyboards. Yes, that joke is older than the hills and twice as dusty, but some of those oldies are still goodies. 

OK, one more oldie. A big moron and a little moron were sitting on a fence. The big moron fell off. Why didn't the little moron fall off? Because he was a little more on. 
OK, I know, don't quit my day job. Well, as I have told you many times before, I don't have a day job, nor any job at all. I was declared permanently unemployable after a marathon 11.5 hour surgery to repair the damage to my spine many years ago. Also, I had my 70th birthday this past December, so there.  What passes as my day job is listening to music and surfing the interwebs. 

OK, until next post, just TRY to treat all those you meet each day the way you want to be treated. I'll try, notice I said try, to keep the old jokes to a minimum.
