Looking back and Happy New Year to All!


      The last day of 2013 has arrived folks, as we prepare for New Years Eve tonight and a New year tomorrow. we need to stop for a moment and look at where we are in life and in the world and all that happened before we start a new one. The world is a dangerous place for all to live and we Americans are the luckiest ones on it currently. We live in peace and we have choices and can vote for what we wish. we control our own destiny if we come together as a nation, throw aside who is what color, what race, what nationality and what party and learn that it takes all to make it work right!

       I have lived now 57 years, and seen Presidents come and go, from Eisenhower to now Obama,seen wars from Vietnam to Afghanistan, seen economic boom to economic bust and still I am here and icking and soon to turn 58. I am entering now my downside of life, an age where many retire and disappear to hotter climates and warmer places and slowly fade into the past. Yet I wonder what more I shall live to see, an America with full health care for all, an America with all colors, races and nationalities and religions getting along would be nice.  As I sit here and think back, I remember a lady in my old project neighborhood, her name I don’t remember her actions I do.  It was the 1960’s before the March on Washington by Martin Luther KIng Jr. and it seemed to me as a  little boy a simpler time than now. I was outside playing, I had a simple empty jar and I was chasing bees to catch them and look at them that day. As I went to close the cover on the jar, the bee escaped and stung me on my right hand and I cried out in shock and pain from it. Out rushed this nice, sweet lady who looked at me and helped me right away, she held my hand out and said watch this as I looked at her in amazement. She reached down and got a bit of mud out of the ground and packed it on my palm where I had been stung. One minute later, the stinger was out, my tears were dried and I was ready to play once more and I thinked her. I remember her big brown eyes, her smile at me and her friendly and kind nature. I was a white boy and she a black woman in her late forties. She didn’t have to help me back then for the division between colors and races was still in action, yet she did out of the bigness of her heart. And the warmth of her being shone through to me and we were friends from that day on till we moved. The point being this folks, it matters not what color, what nationality, whet religion if we care for one another as Americans we can do anything, together. I hope 2014 will bring that cooperation, friendliness and more back to America. Lord knows we all need it folks no matter what color we may be.

        I have lived through attacks on America by others that took down the World Trade Towers in New York and stood still frozen in time as a plane went down near Pittsburgh, Pa. where my daughters lived and prayed they would not get killed.  I have served my country as a soldier, national guardsman and in the end a sailor and seen the world. I have visited countries of wonder in Europe, The North Atlantic, South America and even the Bermudas, on active duty, and been fascinated by all the different people, the cultures and wonders of it all.  I lived through 199 seizures in the first nine months of my life and survived, beating given to me as a child by abusing parents, fought through institutions to stay free. and survived. I survived my military life, with six herniated discs in my spine, depression, PTSD and Anxiety, and much more. I have recently survived lung cancer in 2013, having a lobe and one third removed from my right lung, to remove the cancer. I am a lucky man in many aspects and I know it.  So, when I say this I mean it America, 2014 must bring peace and get us out of wars, it must bring peace between the races, and nationalities of America and we must all move forward to improve this country, it’s economy and how we care for one another. America is indeed the shinning beacon it once was before if we make it so people, we the Americans can do it!

       The one thing we all need to do, no matter what race, color or nationality may be or religion, is to stop policing other nations and fighting their wars for them. we can’t keep spreading our forces around the world policing nations that don’t want us there and spending what wed on’t have to defend others. We need that cash, our people, and our weapons and money at home and added to our economy to create new jobs for all, to pay for the unemployed and to help healthcare for all to get underway. I hope and pray 2014 will be so much better for all of America, and all Americans everywhere. May Peace reign and may mankind discover, it’s better to love than hate one another!

          Happy New Year To All! 

My Thoughts on the World as we head into 2014


       30th of December 2013, is here, the day begins in darkness for me, I awoke at 6 am you see. As I sit here and think back on the year I start to think of what people live through. We live through pain, suffering, hopes and joys, thoughts and things made up by little girls and boys. We live on dreams for the future and try to forget the past, but are we all living too damn fast?

       2013 had flown on by for me with all that has happened in the world. One day after another followed by stories of murders and murderers who get off on killing people and escaping the justice system in the world. We see leaders of countries killing their own off one by one or in mass amounts, we see disease and more come invade people’s bodies and countries, yet no one has the solutions so  people die in mass amounts. Why? Balance ladies and gentlemen, balance, the human equation and the planet’s too, say we must balance things or all be through. The polar ice caps melt each day at a faster rate than ever before, due to mankind’s lack of respect or care for the planet and the atmospheric system we live in that is so fragile indeed. The atmosphere is slowly disintegrating, the water sof the world rise each day and year, closing off land masses where humans must live. yet we continue to pollute, destroy and hard the planet that sustains and keeps our beings alive each day, why?

           Here is a few other thoughts about 2013 for all to think about. 1) Do we follow our leaders blindly and let them lead us into wars and disasters for all. The wars of the world are based on political bullshit and differences no man should be killing each other over at all. What would happen I ask if the Jews and Arabs all found they came from the same one day in the near future and they just actually broke off from one another over religious beliefs, not political ones? Be amazing wouldn’t it to see, that indeed no matter what religion or background or heritage we may be, we are all indeed related as human beings and intermixed without knowing it! 20 What if the whole world had Health care for all, paid for by all of humankind to help one another survive? Could that happen yes, would it no, for we let personal and political bullshit get involved and fight one another.

              What if we all pulled back the troops, weapons and fighting between each race, country and each other and found common ground, could mankind eventual save the planet and itself by using the combined intelligence of all the people in the world to preserve the plants? I bet we could, if we just stop being assholes to one another, and really start listen and give each other respect instead of hate!

              Has anyone ever realized, Orson Wells, the writer, producer, director of movies and books fame actually gave us a solution to saving mankind before we self destruct decades ago? He produced the story and movie of War of The Worlds and talked about aliens invading the earth, at sometime in the future. If you watch the story closely and pay attention, all humanity at first goes into a panic scared shitless by the invaders. But than they realize to survive they must band together to save the human race and face off the invaders as one race, the earthlings who belong here. Amazingly, there is the blueprint to save humanity, it’s planet andour way of life, by making sacrifices to battle what we can as one. Interesting isn’t it folks?

              To the countries like the United States,who hold nuclear weapons in their arsenal to protect their own or to retaliate, I say, there is no more reason for them and they should be banned and disassembled and that includes, Russia’s our own, and any other country that has them too. If one man pushes a nuke button and launches at another the world would be done in less then 15 minutes and all of us as the human race would be gone, leaving a shell of a planets behind. is that what we intend to do here on Earth folks, if so, ya better find a new planet fast!.

             So, as we now head into 2014, in about 48 hours or so, we should think about all of this and more. Is having a political difference or a religious difference enough to kill humanity itself off and destroy the planet we live on? I think not, so wake up folks. 2014 is a coming, can we make a Resolution that says, no matter what color,race, heritage, religion or beliefs we may be or have, we are all mankind and we need to get along and together to save the planet and the human race!

 

A Christmas Message for all!


        Welcome to the 14th of December 2013. In ten days from now people will be rushing around getting last minute things for the smiles of the children they may bring. Parents will buy and wrap and do it fast, as the white snow drops to the ground to which it will attach. The sleds will all be out and about, the ice skaters will be sliding and falling around, and the laughter and joy will be the sounds. The kids will want toys, the wife shoes and clothes, and the men will be digging all out, with holes in their clothes. The snow will be here and so will the cheer, and lets hope all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

           Ten Days to Christmas Eve, yes I know it is hard to believe. The year of 2013 will be coming to an end, as families and friends gather round, songs of Christmas Joy will abound. Hopefully the children of today, will learn peace, joy, caring is what I say. No more wars please, no more shootings or pain, can we just have a Christmas and Holiday Season with a way to a good end?  Across the world the Holidays are celebrated in so many different ways, traditions are all out and about, be friendly and ask neighbors, passersbys  and more what theirs means to them and find out what it is all about.

             By The time 2014 comes  into the present, lets hope peace can now come into being, for all the children of the future to be seeing. Happy Holiday Season to All, Whether young or old, white of black, rich or poor, I wish you all enjoy it more. And I hope there will be no War forever more!
