Normal

come on children
gather round
and listen to this speech
before you go out
in this big ole world
there's something i must teach
seek fame and fortune
i hope luck springs eternal
but in everything you do and become
remember you must be normal!
keep your voice low
don't stick your neck out
go with the flow
it will surely build your clout!
flatter and fawn before the boss
and never fail to smile
cuz depression, sadness, "mental health"
is just a load of bile!
because if you should happen to be blue
there's only one person to blame
to seek the culprit look no further
than the mirror - you're one and the same!
it's your fault for not rising above
don't you forget it
because happiness is a choice
and that's all there is to it!
remember normal hates different
especially things it fears
"nothing is to be feared, it is only to be understood"
shut up marie curie, you're just weird
so get your butt in line
and follow the status quo
normal is good, different is crazy
and that's all you need to know

Today was the celebration of the signing of the Constitution for the People!  It was a rainy but happy day.  At Independence Hall more than 10,000 people were gathered to watch the parade with people dressed up as colonial soldiers, some riding on Tyler Quarter horses.  And there were lots of colonial floats, and Ronald Reagan came out in front of Independence Hall and made a long speech, as usual.  After the day's festivities at Independence Hall were over, everybody went to the Civic Center.

Goals: Why Even Bother?

Sometimes the question is not "Why do I want to accomplish this goal"?  Sometimes it's more like "Why shouldn't I just do whatever I feel like doing? Why do I want to bother myself with goals when I could just be relaxing instead?" You might then ask yourself, if I forget the goal what do I miss out on?  Am I ok with that?  Will I have regrets one day?  Which will cause me more stress - abandoning the goal or following through on it? What will my life look like next week, next month, next year if I do/don't accomplish the goal?  Sometimes when it's the desire for accomplishment that falters, it's the fear of loss that keeps you going.

The Ogre

By Joseph Jacobs John Dickson Batten [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons Shelley and I were friends almost immediately.  However her father did not like me.  The only reason I can imagine is that my family was too poor for him and that he did not consider me fit to be around his daughter.  Despite how her father felt about me, the moments when he was away at work as a lawyer, and when Shelley and I were together were the thrill of my life.  We did everything for fun, it seemed like there was nothing we couldn't do, no fun that we couldn't have.    Her house was an entire wonderland within itself.  An enormous granite-walled mansion, there were four floors of enchanting adventure for us.  The first floor held a kitchen where we made all kinds of goodies, an adjacent playroom where we played house, Barbie, watched "It's A Living," "Silver Spoons," "Small Wonder," "Dukes of Hazzard," "Laverne & Shirley," two mag...
