Regularly Scheduled Ruminations
Table of contents for 6/ Topics and TV
Today the weather turned hot and humid so I guess play time is over. We had a nice run but now it’s time for some real Virginia weather. I came home and made a drink. The flipped the switch on the AC unit recently installed and sat down to see what was happening here.
I have more time now to go out and read blogs and meet people. My blogs are running (more or less) and it really is fun and interesting to meet other bloggers. Robin Easton is a jewel. And Evita of Evolving Wellness is another very special person. I read her posts and the hair on my neck starts to tingle.
What?!!
Oh no. That’s a good thing actually. It’s not something that my wife minds because it’s a thought process more than anything else based on my fascination with the sincerity and single mindedness of her approach to health and our wellbeing.
So I was reading her post about alcohol and the fact that it is poison while I was enjoying my rum and coke. The big old rum bottle was sitting there. Empty. And I had planned to go out and get another one.
But then I decided not too. I need all my remaining brain cells.
Pretty desperately in fact at this point.
And then Robin and I were talking about fear and dying. I think we agreed that being dead is not really a problem. Because after all we can fly when we are in our spirit bodies. And we all want to do that.
I mean if we could buy tickets to do it there would be long lines out to the sidewalk every day.
Not to die but just to fly. And then we were talking about the hard part actually being PAIN. I fear pain. And I was watching Henry last night on Showtime (The Tudors) go ballistic and start torturing all these poor guys who had done nothing.
Because he thought they had slept with Ann. And by the time he got done with them they all said “Well yes. I did sleep with her” even though they hadn’t. Because you know you will say anything if someone tortures you.
They wouldn’t even have to torture me. I would be like “Please just let me know what you think I did. I’m pretty sure I did it. Just remind me if you would about the details. I’m a little forgetful”.
Torture is so stupid. You want the truth? Forget it. You want someone to agree with you. NO PROBLEM.
They put the poor fiddle player on the rack and pulled him apart. I was very upset even though I know he is an actor and can hit that high C note without being stretched if he wants to do it.
I couldn’t sleep. I’m still upset about it. How can one human being do these things to another human being?
“I was just doing my job mister. I work here in the Tower of London. I’ve got five kids at home to feed. And I just turn the wheel. Somebody else brings em in here. Maybe they should have not gotten themselves in trouble”.
Please. I need to stop watching television. Putting torture on tv is worse than letting naked men and women have at it. And what it says about the human race is much worse.

Great post. I don’t know how you have more time, I’m getting less and less. But I guess it does differ from person to person.
Cheers,

If alcohol is poison why do they rub it on your arm before you get a shot….
If you have all this free time David you need to get a real hobby !!

Sometimes you write something that strikes a responsive chord! I guess this was it. LOL. Well free time is a relative term. Relatively speaking I have more time because the blogs have all the plugins they need and the themes are pretty good. And the content is not difficult to write or photograph. But outside of blogging life is still busy. You are right! It’s very busy. Maybe we should all share some of that on our blogs so we can compare notes and decide what “busy’ really means.
hmmm… nice weather there… i meant it, really… not the humid part, of course… well, it started to rain here and i’m just half-done with my gardening (well, with what i called “gardening” )… i hope the sun would come back… it seems like we’re getting less and less “sun days” here… it feels like autumn now…
anyway, enough of that… i’m interested in watching The Tudors as i’ve read many good things about it… plus i like that era (not that i’m an expert on it)… but i don’t know when they’re going to show it here… maybe i’ll just wait for it on DVD… i think i would prefer that so i can always “pause” it and discuss a particular scene…
and yep wish i could fly, too… you know, something like astral travel… though i fear that some bodiless spirit might take my spirit’s place in my body… i know there’s supposed to be that silver cord connecting my spirit to my body, but what if it breaks?… weird thoughts, right?!
well, i’m still trying to get back to my “normal routine”, what with the bad weather here now… so sorry if i haven’t been that “visible” in the blogosphere… have a nice day!
