THINGS YOU DON'T SEE EVERY DAMN DAY


You gotta love people with weird hobbies.

That motherfucker could terrify the neighborhood children.
^^A2^^


Now if it just had a solar cell roof. 
^^A3^^

The Housewives of ISIS
^^A4^^

Russia - The Florida of Europe

I have no information as to what happened, but not only the three dark cars but also the camera car just...keep...driving.
Could be a movie, I guess.
^^A5^^

Remember that clip showing the truck going through the toll booth on fire? I think this is how it started.

ART AND PHOTOGRAPHY

^^B2^^


I love stuff like that. I wonder how long it lasted. 
^^B3^^

This is a delightful image. I imagine a risque pose on her honeymoon. The smile says it all.
But there may be somebody out there that reports me to Google for posting art like that. How sad. 
^^B4^^


I have touched more than my share of perfect butts like that. And I remember every single one of them. 
^^B5^^


When my wife and I toured Europe we each took one small backpack. I had the clothes I wore and one change. When one got dirty we stopped at a laundromat. In several of them, there were people wearing only their underwear sitting around waiting on their laundry to finish. It was obvious why.
^^B6^^


 ^^B7^^


^^B8^^


I've given a lot of advice to young graffiti artists...maybe too much.


All I ask if for them to at least try stepping up their game with messages people can relate to.
^^B9^^

Stalin in the Kremlin after being informed of the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. (1941)

That is the look of total betrayal.

A dog ate all of these items.

The owners found the bill gut-wrenching.

“The finding is important evidence that quasicrystals can form in nature under astrophysical conditions, and provides evidence that this phase of matter can remain stable over billions of years”.

ON BEING OLD AND OTHER THOUGHTS


I actually do want to know what you think. I'm a very good listener.

 I know you've all heard that before, but I think about it often. The good news is that I've accomplished every single thing I've ever wanted to accomplish...and more. I've had two wonderful women love me with all their heart. I have watched my two daughters grow up to be extraordinary women. I have made a whole bunch of art and I've made a ton of money from my murals.

But there are pitfalls...no pun intended...

The deterioration of my body is a pain in the ass...literally, but I accept that as a necessary price for still being allowed to live.

I learned early on that I could say no anytime I wanted.

Before my marriages, I told my bride that I would never do anything I didn't want to do. With each, I was forced to break that rule one time each and in both circumstances, it ended in disaster.

I've come to realize that my idea of what is true, what is right, and what is just is just as valid as anyone else's. But the important thing is to embrace change. I am a very different old man than I was a young man and every day I self-evaluate most held beliefs and opinions. 
^^E1^^

I find great personal satisfaction in creating things that have never existed before. 

It's really not a matter of wanting to create, I HAVE to create.

I like the fact that my house is full of art objects of every shape and kind. Some of these will surely become heirlooms and that makes me proud also.


As you may have guessed, I don't doubt myself very often.

That does not mean I think I'm always right. It just means that with the information I have now that I have made the best decisions for me.


I do procrastinate more than is healthy.

^^E2^^

I do have my pet peeves and here's one of them.


Such attitudes are beyond contempt. They are a national embarrassment.


Has this man no decency?



^^^^

 When I was in the military I served with blacks, Jews, one kid from Cuba, rich kids, poor kids, Asian kids, etc. I was very proud that in America that is just who we are. We are people of the world and proud of it...or we used to think that way.
 Now we have a president who is doing everything in his power to divide us. To make us hate one another.
Sad that.
 ^^E3^^

 Let's image when aliens land and they follow us around learning our ways and we all end up in church and you say, "This cracker is the flesh of our long-dead lord and this wine is his blood." Do you think those aliens would think you had lost your fucking mind?

I like your blog and have been reading it for several years, but you appear to be turning out anti Trump propaganda the same way biased news outlets do by posting information out of context and only posting the part that puts him in a negative light. Yes, he gets outlandish in his tweets at times, but the vaccine tweets are about spreading out the dosages instead of one big dose. If your going to post it, at least show the whole picture. I know there will be backlash from other readers and you on this comment and I really don't care, because it shows the lack of willingness to see the whole picture. Which is ironic, because I've seen you comment on that as well.
