Jan. 23, 2017 - PPM - Enjoy The Moment

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is about Enjoying the Moment.

The below picture could have been taken at any public event of iPhone some 10 years ago.  It could have been from last Friday's President Trump's inauguration.

The bottom line, ids no one ever just experiences the moment.  They have to record a video, take a picture, Snap Chat it, Instagram it, .....

I'm not totally guilt-free from this phenomena.  I've slowly weened myself off of this technology laced indulgence, because I know I can get a visual record from someone else.  Truth told - my phone has limited memory left because I haven't deleted anything in almost 10 years.

Eventually the pendulum will swing the other way where we all put our phones down and enjoy the moment.  I just hope someone is there to record THAT moment.

Just Saying.

Jan. 20, 2017 - Friday Funny - Moving Day

This week's FRIDAY FUNNY is MOVING DAY.

I wonder how many of the Hollywood elites who said they would move if Donald Trump was elected, will actually move.

Just Saying.

Jan. 19, 2017 - You're NOT Going to Miss This

So on January 20, 2017 we will begin the Donald Trump Presidency.  God Help Us.

But, what I do know for sure is that no one (that I know) will be playing the Trace Adkins song, "You're Gonna Miss This" when President Obama leaves.

Jan. 13, 2017 - Friday Funny - Trump Cabinet

This week's Friday Funny is a result of a long car ride because you can't play "Tunes" forever.

Hardly anyone thought Donald Trump would be elected the nest President last November. So, while driving 10 hours form Ohio to South Carolina last August, a life partner and I decided to propose a possible Trump Cabinet, should he be elected.  

Here were the proposed results:

VP - Donald Trump (why not get the greatest)

Secretary of State - Mel Gibson

Secretary of Treasurer - Bernie Madoff

Education Secretary - Nick Nolte

Health and Human Services Secretary - Woody Allen

Energy Secretary - Richard Simmons

Interior Secretary - Sophia Varga

Attorney General - Hillary Clinton

EPA Secretary - not necessary

Agriculture Secretary - Woody Harrelson

Defense Secretary - Bill Belichek

Labor Secretary - Mrs.  Duggart

Transportation Secretary -  Gary Busey

VA Secretary - Jane Fonda

Homeland Security - Eric Snowden

New Departments: 

Dept of Excess Winning- Charlie Sheen

Wall building - Jackie Chan / George Lopez

We will see how the actual cabinet plays out. I'm sure my choices would not Make America Great Again.

As an American, we always want our President to succeed. Good Luck, President Trump.

Just Saying. 

Jan. 9, 2017 - PPM - Snowball's Chance in Hell

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is the work ethic of today's youth, or actually, THEIR LACK OF A WORK ETHIC.

As we head into this year's "snow season", I am reminded of what has happened the last few years.

The snow falls and there is silence. 

No door bell ring.  

No sounds of metal shovel on the driveway.  

No one singing, "Do You Want To Build A Snowman?"

Actually, I'm OK with the last one, because I've let it go. Let it go.

I remember the Ohio blizzard of 1977 when I made a bucket of money shoveling snow.  Today's kids have no desire, skill, or work ethic.

Companies actually now sell snowball making machines, because our kids can't be challenged with making their own snowballs.

 I believe as an old man, I will never have to yell at a child to "GET OFF MY LAWN" because they will never leave the security of their Momma's basement and their gaming systems.

Just Saying.
