Questions for the multiverse.

Is everything a calculated risk? Or is there some small pocket of unknowing the circumstance and yet succeeding in the doing of the thing-- Checks and balances, scales, weighing the options, finding all the facets of the underlying achievables and pulling the best answer out from the cosmic hat...

No. It can't be just that. There must be more to it. I don't wish to live a life of yes and nos, of pros and cons; of no deeper meanings. There's more to this answer or that, there has to be. We live in a world of infinite possibility, of faces and places we've yet to see.

And if that's true then, there's almost always another way...

Return of the Brothers Gibb.

There's been a resurgence of Barry, Robin, Maurice, and sometimes Andy... in my life.
These things happen, and I'm embracing it.


That is all for now~

Some blurbs.

I'm usually one of those people who tend to assign meaning to things-- days, special items, etc.

Today just doesn't feel like Valentine's Day...

I guess things really matter when you make them matter, or something has happened to you and you find value in it. For me, today is a quiet Sunday..and I'm grateful for it..but it's a not day filled with chocolate hearts or sentimentality.

Strange-- I wonder if today was considered a special day for another reason before this St. Valentine person declared it his own happy holiday of romance.


I know not.

It's Carlin Week at KJMY..

First, the book is reading really well, and has for the time being, renewed my interest in George--it was really always there, but it ebbs and flows when you listen/watch too much of his material...

But..yeah, the book is in depth, personal, very detailed, and still retains the mental/auditory sensation of George being present in it. I've always enjoyed stand up performers that were not only entertaining, but could put ideas forth intelligently while still in that "go ahead, have a good laugh over it" context. George was definitely one of those...and I rather like his going into the old days of Burns and Carlin, his friendships with Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce, and other such details of his early career. It's turning into a quick read, of which I'm both happy and sad over.


Also decided to give two of his early comedy albums a go-- "FM & AM" and "Class Clown". As noted, these two give insight into the turning point of his career--the switch from clean shaven, funny, but safe George into long haired, bearded, not afraid to step out and say what was on his mind George.


So far, so good.



Unrelated note-- Also picked up Lowboy, a novel about a young man with schizophrenia who has adventures riding the subway at night. Premise sounds new and strangely fascinating. Not going into it with expectations however.


Oh, and Belvedere is still a champ. It's true.

Time Out For Cool Peeps-- Vol. 1: Mr. Belvedere- Why he always puts a smile on my face. The Short Version.

Simply put, this man is brilliant.
He's witty, he's often snarky, he refers to himself in third person..and...as it happens, he's British.

He seems to know exactly how to make his tv family
that much more tolerable to watch, especially that Bob Euecker guy..(which I know I spelled wrong, but frankly, I don't give a damn.)

His interactions with young Wesley and his siblings are just such fun to see, and I very much enjoy when he gets kinda creepy and his eyes bug out of his face like he's gonna put your head in your soup at any moment--

And of course, who could forget the end of the episode, wherein he writes within his journal, eloquently recapping the moments we held so dear for 25 odd minutes.


In summary, he gets points for being himself; our Belvedere.

Him and those wonderful sweaters.

You heard it here first, kids. Go. Get. The. Dvds.


Uncle S will smile on you. So go on and do it.

He recently had the pleasure of "helping" a few of his close friends remember the love they once had for Mr. Belvedere--and you can be sure that they were pleased for this.

I'd know.


So.. a one. a two. ya'll know what to do..

You'll be happy you did~
