Morning/ Red Sox/ My Story/ Tea Party?/ Planet Earth


      Good Morning America and The World! Happy Sunday, Fun day, to All as my baby sister would say!

      The Boston Red Sox have Eliminated the Detroit Tigers in Six games and advanced to the World Series in six games! Go Red Sox Go! Bobby Valentine can kiss our asses, He wrecked Boston’s Clubhouse and Attitude last season and is gone and what a turnaround for the Red Sox, From Last to First in the Division in one year and onto the World Series take that Valentine!

        Next as my story I am writing is growing and over 10,000 words now and not end in sight yet, I know I have to be careful about mentioning anyone by names before I publish it at all. I am going to have to change names because, I don’t want anyone’s privacy breached nor to hurt anyone at all! My purpose in writing the story I am doing, is to show how people and events make us who we are not the color of our skin, our nationality. And In my case certain people made me who I am by their actions and reactions to me and their acceptance of me, as a person. I hope I can stress that in my story and show the world what a life I have lived and how I overcame the bad times and enjoy the good times. Each of us is different as individuals folks, so no matter what you do in life always be yourself and strive for the best!

       Politics is always a subject with me in one way or another it seems.  The biggest thing about it is, so many politicians exist in America it is silly to get a grip on it, We don’t have just two parties anymore, Democrats and Republicans, now we have the Tea Party to deal with too. We had enough confusion and turmoil with two, do we need the Tea Party too?  Sadly, I think not, but I am sure the Tea Party itself and it’s members and loyalists will say you need us to lower taxes and for a third opinion. America is big enough for it of course, but can someone with logic and an education and brain get in the tea Party and tell them not to ruin America’s Economy and more!  Before you run for major offices in our Government can you learn self-control, logic and be more careful so you don’t cost America another 24 Billion Dollars!

       Planet Earth, Mass we live upon as it rotates in space and circles  the sun, is having it’s resources which keep it alive and us with it depleted by mankind at a greater rate than it can ever re-create them. Mankind is polluting the air, oceans and killing species left and right to survive.  Do we really believe these resources which come from the planet and nature will replenish themselves at the rate we are removing them, I doubt it! We mine the planet, the oceans, the animals and each other at such a rate, we will sooner or later deplete it all and leave a barren earth behind and no place for out future generations of humans to survive on! Sad isn’t it folks, we are much too damn greedy in this world, that we shall one day find ourselves extinct too. I don’t know if humankind arrived here from elsewhere like Mars or another Planet or we became here so to say, but I do know, we are murdering the planet, atmosphere, animals and oceans and mining out the earth at a rate that will extinguish it’s soul and kill us all off and the planet too! Sadly, mankind will have to figure this out soon or be gone!  One ore thing to consider for Americans and the World, We have historic facts and proof that nations and republics die off on this world. The American Indian Nation, The Aztecs, The Incas, The Romans all, fell from grace based on the inability to communicate and the lack of resources to survive. Will America be next because we are too damn greedy and want it all for us, or can we change and survive longer than they did?

         

      

          

         

 

What Do we Control?/Red Sox/ Writing


        Welcome to the real world is what I say, when someone says oh look, tain’t that cute, or look isn’t that terrible! The Truth is we don’t control too many things in the world for us to realize or really control our fate or destiny. There are too many random events and occurrences in nature, life and people to control the world. We can’t control the fates of a baseball game or a football or basketball game or any other sport. We can’t control the fates or destinies of Politicians or teachers, or lawyers or anyone other than ourselves to a point. The fact is, we learn from experience and in order to get experiences we have to make mistakes. Think about it, when your a baby learning to walk and talk, you mispronounced words someone corrects you till you get it right, when you go to walk, until you learn balance you fall and have to keep trying right? Well those are acts of learning and fate and destiny too, like life and death, rich or poor, happy or sad. Fate, destiny, Mother Nature and Father Time actually rule the world not us. We control what money does, or how we do something, we don’t control things belonging to fate or destiny and never will. The reason we don’t control it all is simple, we weren’t born to, we are born for a purpose folks, some of us have purposes, beyond our own knowledge and when we reach them either by fate or destiny we are taken back to where we came from to never return again. Each person has missions to complete, some more intense and complicated than others, but we all do them, for it is what we were brought to life to do.  The real question for all of us and the scientists out there is simple what gives us this spark of life to live as long as we do and where did we really come from in the first place?  Good Question right, recently some have said, as we reach for the stars and planets with life elsewhere in our universe and galaxy, that mankind may have not been created here on earth. We may have come from Mars or another planet out there, transferred to Earth to save our human race from destruction. I don’t know for sure where we came from, but we all know earth provides what we need to survive. 

Here is the big question left for all to answer, How Long will it be before mankind, the human race depletes the resources of the planet Earth and ceases to exist or has to more on to another world and go through another change? We don’t know do we, yet we keep depleting the planet, polluting it and ravaging it till the resources begin to disappear, Species are dying off or being killed off, the air we breathe is polluted more each day and night, the oceans are polluted and we dig and dig all we can out of the planet. How long and how much is left to dig out and ruin and pollute? There has to be a limit, isn’t there? Stop and think folks, if the water goes where do you go? If the air is unbreathable what do you breathe? If you kill all animal and eat them what is left for meat, you and I, do we eat one another then?  All good questions right and no forthright real answers are out there, why because we can’t find them, for somethings are indeed left to destiny and fate!

Whew after that deep thought, it is onto my favorite subject this month, The Red Sox of Boston! Tonight is Game Six of The American League Championship Series. The Detroit Tigers are in Boston for this game and the Seventh game too if it gets there. Home Field Advantage belongs to The Red Sox and you can bet, the Red Sox  fans will be in full spirits and happiness to have them at home. We shall support the Red Sox win, lose or draw of course for if all the fans are like me, we bleed red!  Clay Buchholz  will have his hands full at Fenway Park with the Tigers Batting order, but, is there any better pitcher we can have on the mound for this one? The Red Sox will have to beat the ace of the Tiger’s pitching staff in Game Seven if they don’t win it tonight. So they need tonights game and to move on to the World Series now! Go Red Sox Go, and Know you have millions of fans cheering you on and I am one!

Trying to write a book, a story, a poem or anything worth while takes time, it takes effort and it takes skill and language  skills too. To draw someone in to a story is not easy, to keep their attention and to keep them reading is not easy, but I am attempting this one, because I hope to make it work. I am now over 10,000 words into the story, which covers me, Who or what makes me , me? Is what I call it. I hope when done I can explain all the people who affected my life and made me who I am today by showing how the events and people touched and changed me. It is not the color of your skin, what race, or nationality that make syou you, it is the way you are taught, treated and interact with those around you, that does it. That explains I hope the point of what i am writing, wish me luck folks, I am going to need it, to get it done properly. In the end I will more than likely need an editor and a publisher to get it finished and sold, I am hoping I can do this to make money and to accomplish the feat or act itself. Thanks for reading my blog folks and I shall return with more entries in the near future!

 

 

 

 

Government Bickering/Red Sox/Story


      I tire of Government bickering between the Parties and now we have a third-party within the Republican Party that grew big enough to effectively shutdown the Government of the biggest economic and military power in the world, it’s crazy! The Republicans say this, the Democrats say that, the Tea Party steps in and everything goes haywire  what the hell is wrong with these politicians? You all tell me, please!  Can the worlds best country, and economic power and military power, whose dollar is the basis for the world monies, get its act straight? I have no idea, but I know one thing, it better get it down by the dates they set forth, or when the 2013 and 2014 elections come about here, guess how many will be out of a job in the House and Senate.  The American people can only take so much!

Next subject, The Boston Red Sox are now one game away from an appearance in the World Series for 2013. In a pitching performance of Jon Lester and the relievers for Boston they stopped Detroit from coming back and won, in a heated contest in Detroit last night. Looking at this as a Baseball Fan and a Red Sox one of course I must admit it has been an interesting series so far and I am sure the ending will be too, coming Saturday in Fenway Park, Boston. Whether they win Saturday or Sunday won’t make much difference to Boston Fans, but Detroit is no push-over period in Boston or Detroit. I say the Red Sox will I am sure be favored as they should be on their home field and in Fenway Park, but do not get the attitude you have won it yet, Detroit will fight. Fenway park and the Home crowd as you tenth man on the field will help you true, but Detroit is one hell of a team in their own right, so Fight Red Sox, Fight and remember you have to want it more to get there!

I have begun a new story, and  I hope it will be good enough to sell online . But writing takes time  so does going over the memories of life to do so. I hope I am honest and straight forward about what makes ,me,me and who helped me to find myself where, we shall see.

            9,106 words into my story now and I am just hitting my stride and about to enter the 12 year Navy Span. It should be interesting to explain that career, the marriage, the kids and the injuries as well as the ups and downs and adventures in the world. I am trying not to mention real names to protect the innocent or not offend anyone either so, names will be changed or only first names used when I finish and edit it all. God Bless all and Have a Happy Day!

 

Petition For ShutDown Bill


A Simple Petition for all to Sign, 
To Congress and The President of The United States

From The American Public:
We the American Public request you send Senator Ted Cruz of Texas a bill for the Amount of 24 Billion Dollars for the 16 days of the shutdown he created. If he is so financially irresponsible that he doesn’t know that to shut down our government costs the American Taxpayer he shouldn’t be in office as a Senator and should be made to pay the American People back!

SignThisPlease and send it to your Senator and Congressmen and Women, Let’s get Senator Ted Cruz to feel the pain he made all American’s and the World suffer through. Lets send him the 24 Billion Dollar Bill and see if he likes his home taken, his car and his job, for political reasons!

W.M. McCurrach

Senator Cruz,s Bill/ Writing/Media/Red Sox


      The Whole Debt Ceiling/ Budget struggle was an exercise in unnecessary behavior and action by elected officials in Washington, that has now cost the American Taxpayers at least Twenty Four Billion Dollars from our economy and set back the creation of jobs in America and hurt the reputation of America in the world’s eye. The Man who started the mess is the fine Senator from Texas Ted Cruz, and I believe as a tax paying American citizen who cares for his country and served it for sixteen years, Mr. Cruz deserves the bill for it all. The Congress and American Government should send Mr. Cruz the bill for at least 2 billion dollars, payable within a reasonable period of time of the term of his Senate tenure. That way he will learn a lesson and so will the other stupid politicians in Washington, DC. I don’t know what Senator Cruz was trying to prove other than to get his face noticed and attention for future political contests, if he runs for President. But I do know one thing for sure , no decent voting American Citizen will ever forgive Senator Cruz for his actions and what he cost America. Send him a bill for the price of 24 Billion or take his home, car and savings as he took millions of others Americans, just to prove a point.

         I have begun a new period of writing of a different nature for me, it is now at a over 8,000 word beginning and I hope it will be worthy of being read and understood by many and hopefully sell when I finish it. Writing for me is therapeutic, helpful to my soul, and in my opinion the stories I write can help others too.  I write not just for me, but for my audience and to let out feeling trapped inside me. So I hope people will understand and enjoy them. We shall see when this one is finished.

          Media is my last rant, the media makes a fiasco out of anything and everything and I wish they would be more responsible in how they handle the news! I agree you have lots of air time to fill on news stations and it helps pay the bills, but, at least report things that need reporting not garbage please. I see so many stories on the news that have no business being here just filling air time for stations like CNN I tired of listening to it all and shut my Television down. I am sure many other AMericans are doing the same thing, sadly we don’t have a choice in what you report, but, if we want the news your there 24/7, so please fill the air time better, no more bullshit and unworthy stories. I think Cnn was better with news when it belonged to Ted Turner but thats me.

The above Photo says it all, Let’s Go Red Sox. Lets Go!

 

         

Welcome To The Brink!/Red Sox/My Stories


      As we are now a few hours from the brink of Economic collapse in the United States of America, The Speaker of The House and The Senate still can not agree on a bill to save the American Government from collapse and to raise the Debt Ceiling on time! They do this so many times in Washington, D.C. , it is beginning to look like a circus show scheduled on time!

        The problem is simple Mr. Speaker grow a set, stand up to Ted Cruz and his Tea Party cronies and lets get on with settling this problem. There will be no defunding of ObamaCare , there will be no changes to a law already put in place. Stop the bullshit and lets move on. As we lose our ranking, and credit rating in the world because of this game as Rand Paul called it, and said the Republicans can still win this, right, wrong Mr. Paul it’s over, you now have a choice, pass a damn budget, open the Government and raise the Debt Ceiling and get the hell out of the way. I understand both Rand Paul and Ted Cruz want to run for President in 2016, sadly neither will ever get close to winning it, due to this debacle.

        As we sit so close to  going over the edge of the Debt ceiling and falling off the fiscal cliff due to the stupidity and gutless behavior of the Speaker of the House and Senator Ted Cruz and Rand Paul, the people should think of recalling the Senators and removing them from office for their antics. If we go over the fiscal cliff and take the  world economy with us, The Tea Party, MR. Cruz, Mr. paul and The Speaker should be removed from office and be punished for foolish game play in running our country, as soon as possible. Do they have any idea how many Americans are angry, how many Veterans like myself who fought and served to keep this country free, they are about to cut off from Disability and Social Security Payments we need to live and maintain our families and homes?  If not they soon will as more Veterans come to Washington today, and they receive more e-mails, letters, texts and more. This shit has to be fixed idiots wake up and fix it and stop hurting the american people our standing in the world, our economy and the worlds too. The Speaker of the House has shown he has not grown a set, to lead the House or any other Government Office, he should be voted out as Speaker of The House and a new one voted in as soon as possible.Image

Mr. Speaker You need to Remember The ABove Sign, it’s true and will get you!

        Ok The Boston Red Sox are now up 2 games to 1 in the American Championship Series, Go Red Sox, Go. I love the Red Sox, I love Boston and as a die hard fan of the Red Sox I pray each day they can get back to The World Series and win one again. If any team has a good chance at this it is the Red Sox and I will bleed red for each game they play as I have for all my life, as a life-long fan. Get them red Sox, Win, Win, Win!

       Last but not least Folks , I leave you with some links to small, short stories I wrote and put on Amazon’s Kindle E-books for sale. Now mind you I am not a finish or well published Author or well known, and I know my works are not the world’s best, but, I put them out there for folks to read priced them low and hope some will buy an old Veteran’s cheap stories and help me out. Thanks

Simple Pleasures


      Growing up I remember simple pleasure few other families had, happening in our home as well as bad memories too. But I prefer to remember the good and forgive the bad and move on with life, it is how it should be, you accept what you have and make the best out of it all.

        I remember fishing trips with Dad, boating and swimming, I remember growing up and finding out about women. I remember the good days when dad and I worked side by side building our home and the stone wall. I remember trips to the World’s Fair, Danbury Fair, Horse Back Rides and laughter too. These are the things in life that make me and you.

        I remember reading comic books and tales of fantasies, true stories and even romances you see. I remember the laughter when one of our teams won a Baseball Game or a Football Game, I remember mom and dad’s anniversary every year with lobsters in the pot cooking and mom getting her lox and bagels. I remember Christmas’s that had presents across the living room for all five of us kids. I remember the home made pizzas and lasagnas dad did. In the end in life it is the simple pleasures in life that count most.

        I remember the days my daughters were born, and how my heart jumped with joy and it became warm. I remember when they learned to walk and talk and laugh and cry, ah how I remember those days and I know why!  I remember the first time I saw my own grandkids for the first time, and how my heart filled with joy for each little girl and boy. I remember quiet moments sitting back watching them play and laugh, God what fun to see and have. Now I am older and time has come and gone, and I face my mortality as I go on. But I will always remember the simple pleasures, the hugs, the kisses the laughter, the tears, it is all, what makes us, who we are through the years! The stories of family and love you see, they will always be a part of you and me.! So as you struggle to survive, and you feel down or depressed one day, look back at the Simple Pleasures of life and you will find a smile and memory to carry you through! I have a few photos that make me smile of my life today I can share with you, there are no people in them you see, they are just simple pleasures and photos of things I learned to love and enjoy that keep me free.Image

My BackYard at Sunset, so natural and pure!

My Front Yard Cherry Tree in full Bloom!

My Cat FOO FOO, in her chair all sleepy and happy and content!

These are the Simple Pleasures life is made to enjoy.

Have a Good Day folks! And Thanks for checking my blog out now and then!

 

 

New Poem Today


                              That Kiss

                      By: William M. McCurrach

 

     I want to tell you a story you will believe,

    It was a long time ago, and no one will grieve! Pause;

    It was a rainy November night, the darkness fell,

   As we stood, there in fright.

   But the memory would burn for years on end,

  That gentle kiss my female friend.

  That kiss echoed through the years,

  I remember giving it to you, to stop your tears.

  When we broke, you smiled you see,

   Said you had to go home from me.

 

  That kiss lives on in my mind,

  That kiss never died even in time.

 

  Five Years passed by and I saw you again,

  You invited me over to have tea like a friend,

  As we laughed and reminisced, suddenly up came that kiss.

  I never answered your question you see,

 Because I knew you weren’t for me.

 That kiss still lingers in your mind and yes indeed even in mine.

 One gentle kiss that we both shared,

 Yet never once did you or I say we cared.

 But the kiss lingers on till the day we die,

 And I shall never tell you why?

Yes That kiss lingers on and onnnnnnnnnnnnn, til we dieeeeeeeeeeeeee!
