I had a bad allergic reaction to a fabric softener over the holidays, and my doctor said my blood pressure was 200 over 130.

And that if I didn’t calm down, it wouldn’t be long before I had a stroke or heart attack

Therefore…I’ve been trying to exercise more restraint.

Ha ha!  🙂

Two more while I’m hopping around the place.

This is one of my favorite “unknown” to the masses bands.

Firehose with Mike Watt on bass. He is the bass master. 🙂

Enjoy!

I’ll just continue with my train of thought while I’m waiting.

It wouldn’t be a giant leap to say that art in any form has always been a reflection of the person that created it.

Going back to the very first cave paintings. What purpose did they serve?

Did that person do it just for the sake of drawing on the walls?

I don’t think so.

First they are sending a clear message.

I exist.

Second, they have the sense to know that others exist and might be trying to communicate something.

A picture of a bison drawn by a native American might be saying –

I saw this animal in this area. Or this animal is important to me and my people.

Beyond that you start to get into more complex messages.

Depictions of religious ceremonies, astronomy, abstract thoughts.

What I’m saying is that the message is always there, subconsciously or not.

Yes!

Why wouldn’t a writer not take the opportunity to express their own world view in their work.

Seems like a perfect time to do it.

Protests can’t wait for a convenient time to take place. They wouldn’t be very effective if they did.

What if Dr. Martin Luther King kept waiting for just the right time or venue for his now famous speech?

Should he have tried to get his detractors approval ahead of time?

We would still have slavery in the United States if others had used your flawed line of “reasoning”.

Apparently you have never watched the show before, if you had then you would have noticed the progressive messages that have been there from the beginning.

Anything that I missed?

Hello fellow Whovians!

 

Waves awkwardly at nobody because there is nobody here. 🙂

 

My earliest Doctor Who memories are watching in the early 1980s with my “cool” uncle. The same uncle that introduced me to the writings of Douglas Adams when I was young. Thank you uncle Rodney!

 

So for me, it all started with that crazy Tom Baker and his amazing scarf that seemed like it was infinite just like Doctor Who.

 

Being so young, I’m not sure what I enjoyed about the show other than the fact that it was shown on our PBS station very late at night. Which is our publicly funded network here in the States. Publicly funded for now, don’t get me started on the politicians who are always trying to cut funding for this because of the so-called “Left” leanings of PBS.

 

Also…..K-9. Where can I get a robotic dog like that?

 

If anybody has any questions for me, like “Who left the door open?” or “Why does my nose itch?”….send me a note or put it here and I’ll answer them to the best of my ability.

“Soooooo tired of political correctness being preached to me.”

 

Textbook case here.

 

Wouldn’t have to preach at this point in human history if some kind of progress had happend…it didn’t.

One more and I’ll hop on over to the couch.

 

Frog….hop….er, nevermind.

 

See you over there.

[Peace Frog @replies]

I said I would and I did. 🙂

I hope that I did that correctly. Just want to say, rest in peace Neil. You can join your family now. He lost his wife and daughter not that long ago. My next drum solo is for you.

 

I was lucky enough to see Rush play in St. Louis, Mo. in 1991. I was a Junior in high school. Played drums too.

 

Not like Neil Peart though. 🙂

 

I know my video is the Femmes, but I’ll post some Rush next.

I’ll be back for a proper introduction “On the Sofa” later, I promise.

Just signed up today after being a very shy lurker but passively engaged since the Matt Smith days…yes, that long.  🙂

Every time I that I’ve seen somebody new sign up just to come in the door and say nothing but how much that they hate the new show or episode or new Doctor makes me want to throw up. Sorry to anybody with weak stomachs.

What is the purpose of this type of behavior?

That was a rhetorical question. We all know what the purpose is.

Somebody hurt their very sensitive feelings and they just have to run off to tell somebody about it. If another person displayed the sort of childish behavior that they did themselves, then they would be foaming at the mouth to call that person a “snowflake”.

Hypocrites!

If you want to call somebody a “snowflake” just because they might actually take the time to be sensitive to the other people who live on this planet and educate themselves about topics that they don’t understand, then so be it.

We need more compassion around here…not less.

 

Might want to learn about the earliest use of the word “snowflake” as a political dig at someone too.
