Less blogging and more rapping, Mr. West.

I shall miss you wonderful lovely Miss Eartha Kitt

What Christmas really looks like in my town

There's always one in every neighborhood...

Peace?

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas (War is over)
For weak and for strong (If you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (War is over)
The world is so wrong (Now)
And so Happy Christmas (War is over)
For black and for white (If you want it)
For yellow and red ones (War is over)
Let's stop all the fight (Now)
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
So this is Christmas (War is over)
And what have we done (If you want it)
Another year over (War is over)
And a new one just begun (Now)
And so Happy Christmas (War is over)
We hope you have fun (If you want it)
The near and the dear one (War is over)
The old and the young (Now)
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over if you want it
War is over now

To celebrate the longest day of the year...

My friend Alexandria and I will begin posting on a shared blog on the Winter's Solstice: http://nwandse.blogspot.com/

A Wonderful Card (Thanks Alexandria!)

This is what's written on the back:

Marilyn Monroe in Seattle, 1953

A candid shot of the film star taken during a visit to Seattle never appeared in the newspaper but nonetheless provokes memories today.

What I was going to share on PostSecret.....

But I realized that I'm not ashamed of this!

I find Clay from Adult Swim's 'Moral Orel' to be somehow sexy. When I realized that it's Scott Adsit from '30 Rock; that does his voice it merely upped Clay's sexiness!

And introducing my new Christmas Tree.....

Miss Barbara Cartland Jr.

Uncanny, ain't it?

Garrett John on the Run!

He may not be faster than a Greyhound but Garrett John's got style!

Happy Birthday Jane Austen!

What is right to be done cannot be done too soon. Jane Austen

(And thanks for creating the perfect man in Mr. Darcy!)

Pizza Night

For Uncle Chris

Is there anybody going to listen to my story
All about the girl who came to stay?
She's the kind of girl
you want so much it make you sorry
Still you don't regret a single day
Ah, girl, Girl, Girl
When I think of all the times
I tried to hard to leave her
She will turn to me and start to cry
And she promises the earth to me
and I believe her
After all this time I don't know why
Ah, girl, girl, girl
She's the kind of girl who puts you down
When friends are there
You feel a fool
When you say she's looking good
She acts as if it's understood
she's cool, ooh, oo, oo, oo
Girl, girl, girl
Was she told when she was young
that pain would lead to pleasure
Did she understand it when they said
That a man must break his back
to earn his day of leisure?
Will she still believe it when he's dead
Ah, girl, girl, girl
Girl
The Beatles

Paul Newman Pt. 2

"People in Hollywood come up to me and say, 'Why take a chance? Don't make enemies.', What they're basically asking me to do is be a person without character.... I prefer to make enemies."

On having made Richard Nixon's infamous Enemies List:

"I've been fortunate in my lifetime to be tapped for a reasonable abundance of honors but none delighted me or elevated me in the eyes of my children more than my placement as No. 19."

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn't show.

Livin' in the sunlight,
Lovin in the moonlight,
Having a wonderful time!

Early Morning in a Small Town

Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress. Charles Dickens
