Two poems from my childhood

Does anyone know, does anyone care Where you go or how you fare? Whether you smile or whether you sigh? Whether you laugh or whether you cry? Glad when you're happy? Sad when you're blue? Does anyone care what becomes to you? I do, pal~~~I'll say I do!

I wish I was a little rock A-sittin' on a hill, Doin' nothin' all the day But just a-sittin' still; I wouldn't eat, I wouldn't sleep, I wouldn't even wash~~ I'd just sit still a thousand years And think of you, b'gosh!

My Redneck Roommates

I have two male rednecks, that both work their separate jobs for cash under the table. Their idea of a good day of work, is how much beer and food they can buy for that night's consumption. In their words, they earned a right to get their buzz on. Their favorite spot to party is in front of the house, on a small square of stone bricks, we call a porch. A big yellow boom box is blaring as they try to sing along with either some country or classic rock songs. We use to have a fire pit in the back, but they abused the privilege. More than once, someone called the fire dept. because the "boys" were stoking the fire, getting the flames to go as high as they could. Add loud music, loud talk, and beer......all at 11:30 pm. Despite several warnings by the senior roommate, they continued, usually when he went out of town. Finally, he simply took it away from them. That's when they moved the BBQ and parties to the front yard.
Once, they found some old golf clubs and golf balls. So the made a hole in the ground (one hole) and said they were "playing golf". Imagine watching 4 men, drinking beer and batting a ball around the yard, all for the glory of claiming the best shot of the day! All this amidst loud music and loud talk. And OMG......why in the name of all that is holy, can these guys think they can sing or carry a tune while they whistle? Hurts my ears and probably a few near by dogs.
This blog will continue as long as they push the envelope of stupidity.

My Religion

Since my mother died March 2007, I have been taking a closer look at my religious beliefs, with some info from my sister. She suggested a New Age religion called Religious Science, also known as Science of Mind. Not to be confused with Christian Science or Scientology. My sister told me that the church of our childhood (Prebyterian) was ancient and out of date. No wonder I fell asleep at service. So I embraced my journey to find and better understand religion by online readings, going to various church services, and Edgar Cayce' s Association for Research ..and Enlightenment. So of course, being excited with any new found endeavor, I told my ex-wife and stepson, who are deeply into Rock Church. And like all blind sheep, they follow every word said by their pastor, without question. Even at my slightest hint of suggesting they come with me on Sunday to one of "my" churches, is met with a harsh disagreement of all religious issuses. Today, for example, I told them that The WAVE Church was having an Easter egg hunt for the kids, with over 30,000 eggs. My "X" said the easter bunny and egg hunts were "pegan". Gee, I guess she forgets all the easter baskets she made me buy and the pictures of my son on the Easter Bunny's lap. Hypocrite....look it up and you will see my "X"'s picture.
