Try Out For The American Sumo Team

On

Wednesdays,

the so called hump day of the week,

I like to vent all my anger

and frustrations out here on my

Blog.

I like to call it my

Rant & Rave

day.

Oh,

I have learned from the past year where I would

Rant & Rave

about the upcoming

Presidential Election,

that people don't always want to hear the truth.

And like a infamous

Politician

of the 1930s,

Adolf Hitler,

had said,

"If you tell a lie often enough, with enough conviction, people will begin to believe it is true."

I could have

Ranted & Raved

today about the lies

President Trump

told when he said,

Mexico

was going to pay for the

Wall

he is now going to build.

He forgot to mention that the

American Tax Payers

will be actually paying for the

Wall

upfront,

with the promise of getting the

Mexican Government

to pay the

United States Government

back for the cost.

Let me ask you this.

Will the

American Tax Payer

be reimbursed once the

Federal Government

gets paid by

Mexico?

If you believe that,

I have some land I would like to sell you on the

Moon!

Or,

I could have

Ranted & Raved

about,

why aren't enough people getting behind the wonderful cause that seven year-old

Bana al-Abed

has asked of our

President Elect?

Bana al-Abed, 7, begs Donald Trump to help children of Syri.

A wonderful young child,

who had been tweeting her experience in the

War

torn city of

Aleppo, Syria.

But,

I have seen in the past year,

where I ask people to give to the charity of their choice,

it has little effect on them.

I see now that,

like the family I grew up in,

and how I would like my children to be,

charity has to be infused in the family culture for people to take part.

 I could have

Ranted & Raved

about these issues,

but I am not going to.

No,

I believe there is a more pressing issue facing the

World

today!

It is so unbelievable,

that I actually thought the fabric of

Time & Space

was being ripped apart!

I am happy to say though,

the coast is clear.

The tide has turned.

The worst is gone.

What I am talking about is,

after almost two decades of unreality,

Japan

has its first

Sumo Champion

in 19 years!

Yippee!

What I Want by TwoBuckHowie With The Exact Change

Believe it

or not,

when I first started playing music in rock bands,

in one of our first live performances by the group

Politics,

our stage show was filmed.

That's right,

filmed.

Not video taped.

I can't remember the person,

but he had an

Eight Millimeter Camera

and recorded the show.

Eight Millimeter

is the old reel to reel,

got to get it developed,

and use a projector to show it on a white screen kind of movie.

If someone out there has a copy of that film,

I'll pay a thousand dollars to get a copy.

I started playing a few years before

MTV

came out.

So putting a video to the music I wrote is not my forte.

My daughter has asked a friend of hers if he would do a video for me,

but I am still waiting to hear back from him.

Hopefully he will help me out because I am running out of ideas.

With all these excuses,

I am probably ruining my latest effort and debut of a music video I just put together.

But please,

I ask you.

Listen to the music first,

because in this case the egg,

as in the music,

came before the chicken,

as in the video.

Enjoy.

The song is called;

I Am Still Mourning

"There is no joy in Mudville, as the mighty Green Bay Packers struck out!"

My adaptation from

Ernest Thayer's

1888 poem,

"Casey at the Bat."

Do you have any respect for the Federal Government?
A "Quick Poll" on the website infoplease.com, under the heading "Respect for Government" asks;
Which branch of government do you currently have the most respect for?
You can pick from 5 choices. The Executive Branch, The Judicial Branch, The Legislative Branch, The Fourth Branch - The Media, or None of the Above. I am sure you can guess the answer all by yourself. Thirty percent of people voting picked "None of the Above." I don't actually go to infoplease.com to take random poll questions. I do like them for some of the "infoplease tools" they offer stuff like; Spelling Checker, Conversion Tool, Homework Help - for kids, and so on. My favorite tool is the Periodic Table. When I am trying to sound intelligent and I am spouting out elemental abbreviations at any drinking social gathering.

 

 Having four daughters who don't always agree with each other,

but are pretty upset about the political situation in this country,

I suggest that women should go to a woman's website to get some answers.

Bustle.com

A website for women, about women, and I believe mostly written by women. Unlike Cosmopolitan, Bustle is not talking about better ways to have sex with your man, but talk about real issues facing women today. Even though they do have a Link to a Fashion page, this site only uses the name Bustle and does not promote the classic look.

This is,

Maybe Not The Inspiring Answers To Those Hard Hitting Questions You Expect From Me Today,

But I Am Still Mourning The Green Bay Packers Loss To The Atlanta Falcons Yesterday,

Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Men make the moral code and they expect women to accept it. They have decided that it is entirely right and proper for men to fight for their liberties and their rights, but that it is not right and proper for women to fight for theirs.”
- Emmeline Pankhurst, -

It Is Not As Sad Of A Story As You My Think

Over the years,

if you have been paying attention,

you have probably heard about,

read about,

or seen a movie about,

"Long Lost Letters Being Found."

In January of 2014 a

Stranger Discovers Long-Lost Love Letters in Attic, But Story Doesn't End There.
By ELIZA MURPHY via GOOD MORNING AMERICA on ABCNews.go.com
"A long-lost box of treasures found in one man's attic has unlocked a decades-old love story, ending in an unexpected surprise for a family that for the past roughly 70 years hadn't even realized anything was missing."

(Not actually from the long-lost box of treasures. Just a period letter I've used.)

 

A beautiful story

and well worth the read if you are interested.

The reason I brought it up is,

I have a story of my own to tell.

A little background first.

I had a

High School Sweetheart

who I believed truly loved me,

but I treated her poorly.

To this day,

I firmly believe that if we had stuck together,

we would have gotten married

and divorced.

Probably in the same year since I was very immature.

People today think I am younger then I really am because I act so immature.

So the way things turned out,

I  know was the best for me

and her.

Just before my

Senior Year

of

High School,

my family moved from

South Milwaukee,

Wisconsin

to

Flossmoore,

Illinois.

 A small town,

where two small towns had to get together to fill one

High School.

 So I graduated from

Homewwod-Flossmoore High.

Who ever said

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder,"

was not a 17 year old,

immature youth.

Towards the end of my

Senior Year

my girlfriend,

still living in

South Milwaukee

wrote me a letter.

I came home from class one day

and my

Mother

gave me the letter to read.

I was so impatient to get outside

and smoke pot with my friends,

that I put the letter on my desk,

in my bedroom,

and forgot about it.

Time passed.

She broke up with me,

I moved back to

South Milwaukee,

I moved to

Houston Texas,

and when I was packing my things up to once again move back to

South Milwaukee,

I found the letter unopened.

The postage on the envelope told me that it had been six years since I received that letter

and I never once opened it.

Before I did though,

I knew what it would say.

I never did get the reason why she broke up with me,

but the reason of course was me.

I never took the time to read her letter asking me if we were drifting apart.

After reading it,

the only thing I could think of was,

I never got the chance to explain to her that,

back then,

I wasn't mature enough to be in a stable relationship.

I only cared about me.

This is,

It Is Not As Sad Of A Story As You My Think.

If Those Events Had Not Happen To Me,

I Would Never Have Met My Wife

And Have Seven Kids!

GO PACKERS!

 

Going To Be Super Elated Tomorrow

Sorry for with the late start of the day writing my

Blog.

But,

with the house cleaning

and with washing the clothes,

the day got away from me.

I actually wanted to work on a new music video for today,

so since I am mentioning it now,

I'll have to follow through on it,

during the coming week.

You will have to forgive me tomorrow if I do not write before late in the evening tomorrow.

In

North America

we are in the midst of the

NFL's Playoffs

and I predicted on

September 1st,

that the

Green Bay Packers

were going to the

Superbowl!

You can read that story on my Post;

The Green Bay Packers Are Going To The Super Bowl.

So I will be hard pressed to be away from my Television for any length of time,

though I will get one video done during the week,

I promise.

I have to promise too,

for the

5 or 6 Groupies

I still have out there who remember the

Rock N' Roll Bands 

I was in during the eighties.

Groups like

Politics,

The Uncalled Four,

(Not the same group from California.)

Mud Sharks,

The Boll Weevils,

and

TwoBuckHowie With The Exact Change!

Normally I like to talk about

Scientific Stories

on

Saturdays

that I have been reading,

so I will continue that trend today.

I find these next two stories very interesting.

Hubble gazes at a cosmic "Megamaser."
on Science Daily.com
"This galaxy has a far more exciting and futuristic classification than most -- it hosts a Megamaser. Megamasers are intensely bright, around 100 million times brighter than the masers found in galaxies like the Milky Way. The entire galaxy essentially acts as an astronomical laser that beams out microwave emission rather than visible light (hence the 'm' replacing the 'l'). The nuclei are very different. IRAS 16399S appears to be a starburst region, where new stars are forming at an incredible rate. IRAS 16399N, however, is something known as a LINER nucleus (Low Ionization Nuclear Emission Region), which is a region whose emission mostly stems from weakly-ionized or neutral atoms of particular gases. The northern nucleus also hosts a black hole with some 100 million times the mass of the sun!"

Scientists Predict Star Collision Visible To The Naked Eye In 2022.

by Merrit Kennedy on NPR.org

"Scientists predict that a pair of stars in the constellation Cygnus will collide in 2022, give or take a year, creating an explosion in the night sky so bright that it will be visible to the naked eye. If it happens, it would be the first time such an event was predicted by scientists. Calvin College professor Larry Molnar and his team said in a statement that two stars are orbiting each other now and share a common atmosphere, like two peanuts sharing a single shell. They predict those two stars, jointly called KIC 9832227, will eventually merge and explode ... at which time the star will increase its brightness ten thousand fold, becoming one of the brighter stars in the heavens for a time. That extra-bright star is called a red nova."

Wow,

I am going to upgrade my telescope before the year

2022

 comes around.

This is,

Or Bummed Out If They Lose,
