    Just thinking why do poeple continue to race horses and accept the number of casualties in horses as De Facto.
    I am one to believe that horses do not race naturally int the way human make them race.
    Shame on them that is all I can say.
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    I do not understand how did I waste so many years of my life and where have they gone? Today was a Marcel Proust day, hmmmm.

    I'm now just thinking just how hard writing can be if your thinking ability is not clear.

    For example I wrote this garbage this morning. (It makes no sense at all...it's just a scribble):

    The photographer, invisible under a thick black drape, stooped low behind the lens. On his wrinkled left hand a digit was poised upon a red switch connected by a cord to the mechanism. He gave a faint gurgle before raising a leathery crooked finger upward, broadcasting his cue. The wranglers snapped swiftly into their rehearsed pose, jovial grins smearing their faces.

    The first fellow (to the left of the scene) stood tilted to one side nearly to the point of falling if not for his bent knees. The six ton accordion strapped firmly over his shoulders did not make things anymore manageable. Every joint, muscle, and bone of his body was enduring the agony of such distress: a ring of damp on the back of his shirt caused by the overhead lights was irksome, a burning itch that had slowly crept up his groin was now at the peak of torment, the Wild Turkey stench exuding from the fiddle shaking buckaroo behind him made his head swim. Such tribulations, though piercing, failed in all its gravity to erase his exuberant disguise forward the camera.

    Dear people whom I accidentally encounter either on the www or in the real world, can you please try and be a bit less mean and more like you actually listened when your parents (and please, tell me your parents at least tried to teach you some manners) told you what to do and what not to do?

    BUCKLE UP!

    right now?

    that the doc doesn't type so loud
    nor seem so proud
    after he just got done scrounging for his last meal...

    but that still hasn't inhibited his ability to...

    ROAR!

    Good to see the Doc back on the boards, eh?
