I noticed that when arriving at WISDOM in the dictionary, one's nearly to the end before he finds it.
The twitter novel... Come to think of it, even the longest of fiction novels tends to involve less than 120 characters.
I've figured out that when making choices, do the opposite, that way my wife will either be pleased or correct me into doing what I wanted in the first place.
Cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, and other dangers are choosing having fun inside our eternal presence instead of being healthy in our temporary flesh.
Someone woke up today and thought about his most important to-do list, then was suddenly dead in an auto accident, and found that to-do list was not so important.
I do my taste bud aerobics by small sips of fine wine but on "workout day", sips of fine aged scotch. Better than cereal crunches my friend.
If zeros are really nothing at all, how come it's so hard to add a couple to one's checking account balance?
I just want to thank the ghosts, the Elenor Rigby social friends she never had because there was no internet, that might have read these black scratches on white background and allowed my voice inside their minds for a few moments.

Rainy Day Ramble
Laughter is our innate realization that tragedy in our life is possible and even probable and our propensity to celebrate that absurdity when it is absent.
I remember staying over at Ricky Jackson’s house when I was fourteen. We were talking about girls and I mentioned one I thought was terrific, so he said, I think I will ask her to go steady with me. He just called her right up and asked her to go steady… but to my delight she turned him down. So he started dialing and asked about four others until one of them said, Yes I will go steady with you. I was flabbergasted at his bravery.
When I’m eating bacon, I don’t picture a pig in my mouth. Same thing with pork chops, although the name is clearly defined. In fact I never picture the hog byproducts in my hot dogs at the ball park or think about dead pigs at all when I am eating. But it’s a big fat pig right there in your mouth. Don’t kid yourself.
After I sent two aerial bombing missions of fire ant killer on to the mound, the death of the queen was assured. A lone ninja ant scaled my shoe to strike his revenge, lancing into my flesh repeatedly with his sacred sword. His subsequent flattening in one slap was an honorable death worthy of the warrior. The itching white pock he left was a memorial to him and his regal queen for days.
We like to have our photos taken with celebrity so our friends and family can see us standing beside someone whom they really admire.
When I was a kid, money was real stuff in my front pockets. Today it's just numbers on my computer screen that get moved to other places.
My definition of eternal creation is based on the building blocks. I believe that the sun is a nucleus, the Earth a magnetic field electron, & our solar system a single atom, & the universe a maze of atoms.
Mom’ Day is the ultimate one. She carried you 9 months, went thru labor, and was there for you all those years. Dad’s just made that initial deposit, and then went thru labor to make bank deposits for you all those years. It’s no contest.
Film is experienced from the outside in, but Music is experienced from the inside out.
Life is lived in a funnel, swirling with possibilities at the wide top but running out of options at the narrow exit.
