This n that
This post is going to be about nothing in particular. To borrow a metaphor, I want to empty the drawer of my mind. As a writer, I find this a useful exercise, and while I normally do this in private, I thought I’d lay my random thoughts out there for the bodybuilding community to peruse and comment upon.
· I always thought of wrinkles as God’s way of stepping on your face.
· I also think that God is a comedian playing to an audience that’s too frightened to laugh.
· If you doubt that God’s a comedian, then please explain the duck-billed playtpus to me.
· And even God admitted he made a mistake by making the avocado pit too big (Played by George Burns in “Oh, God!”)
· For those of you contemplating politics as a career, adopt this philosophy courtesy of George Bernard Shaw, “If you can’t get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you’d best teach it to dance.” (Are you paying attention, Hillary?)
· Did you know that true love asks for nothing? Her acceptance is the way we pay
· Did you also know that life has given love a guarantee to last through forever and another day?
· The first thing Fidel Castro did upon seizing power in Cuba was to ban Christmas. This made him a rebel without a Claus.
- St. Thomas of Aquinas pondered, for nearly twenty years, the question, “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” He wouldn’t have pondered quite so long if he would have thought to ask the related question, “What kind of dance?”
- And crawling, on the planet’s face, some insects, called the human race. Lost in time; lost in space; and meaning.
- You can run from everything except yourself.
- Humpty Dumpty was pushed!!!
- How do you suppose the fork felt the following morning when it discovered the spoon had run off with the dish? And what of the knife? Now there’s a love triangle it would be very interesting to know more about.
- If it’s better to give than to receive, why do some many people have their hands out?
- A gentleman always says what he means, and means what he says. A simple philosophy, but mine own.
- When choosing between two evils, pick the one you’ve never tried before.
- A lie is every bit as good as the truth if everyone believes it.
- A people that value its privileges above its principles soon lose both. - Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969) Inaugural Address January 20 1953
- On this poem
- I’ve spent so much time
- Trying to make all the words rhyme
- But to my chagrin
- I now find
- I haven’t a poem
- Just a silly old rhyme
And that, my friends, is that. Today’s program has been brought to you by the number 6 and 12 and the letter N.

"You can run from everything except yourself."
So true. And that, for me, means that having a positive attitude is everything. Alternatively, a poor attitude can destroy your life and keep you from success.
Enjoyable blog, Angelo!
