Ffolkes,
“Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful.”
~~ Nietzsche, “Thus Spake Zarathustra” ~~

Hajime…. ‘Tis another day here in the home of gigoid’s folly, which we greet with both joy and trepidation. Joy, because we survived another night, to have the opportunity once again to get this living stuff right. Trepidation because, damn it, I’m human, and start the day with the handicaps such existence carries with it, as part and parcel of our nature. Given the extent, and depth, of those parts of us which give us fits, it’s a wonder we bother at all; I guess the joy will continue to supply us with good reason to keep on keepin’ on. If nothing else, the delicious ambiguity engendered by the contrast of those two sides of us will keep me distracted long enough to get this mess posted.
In truth, today’s Pearl is rather less of a mess than usual; can’t say why, but, who am I to disdain a gift horse? Just because it’s old, feeble, & well past its prime doesn’t make it less of a gift. No, indeed; there is treasure in the smallest gift, no matter its value in worldly terms. The act of giving lends to any such offering a mantle of honorable joy, which is intrinsic to the act. In short, I’ll take it, and run for the border. Go figure, eh?
Our inclusions today help give the gift cachet; two of the finest guitarists to ever play the instrument grace the entertainment section, while one of my better poetic efforts found its way to the poetry section. Finally, the old-school pearl fashioned itself into a quite attractive, if insane, gathering of tongue-in-cheek pieces of old wisdom, leading to another proof of the pudding. You’ll see; hopefully, you’ll get it, too, but, no matter. Fun is its own reward….
Hey, I’ve got an idea. Watch this….
Shall we Pearl?

If you enjoy good guitar, of any style, you have to like these guys…. If you aren’t familiar with their music, you’ve missed part of your cultural heritage as an American. So, listen up, and you’ll hear two of the best to ever play…. They’ll be pickin’ & grinnin’, & by the end, you will be, too….

I know I’m in the now, if only…..
Oh, there it is again, fiddle faddle;
Begone, I said, vamoose, skedaddle!
It looked at me as if I were insane:
Scoffed, it did, filled me with pain.
Where does it come from?
Where does it live?
I’d stick out my thumb,
if I had more to give.
If only, should, would, could it be?
It went away again, this time free.
It will be back again, this I know;
or I’m wrong, and it won’t show.
Who cares?
Who hears?
Such goings on wobble the sphere,
I wish it wouldn’t do that here.
I’ve been wrong before…..

I’m afraid I’ve done it again…. Here we are at the end, & I’m not sure how we got here. Fortunately, in this process, and at this time, that’s going to have to do, because I can’t think of anything else to do. This, naturally, bodes oddly for the upcoming day, but, we’re accustomed to that particular phenomenon; odd’s my third middle name, right after ‘terribly’ in the sequence my folks saddled me with, once they’d figured out what happened. And, yes, I know that’s a little strange, even for me. To prevent any further forays into what promises to get pretty weird, I’ll just say, see y’all tomorrow, ffolkes. You know what that means, so, take heed; it’s the only warning you’ll get….
Y’all take care out there,
and May the Metaphorse be with you;
Blessed Be, dearest Carole, Mark,Theresa, & Richy
and everyone else, too…
When I works, I works hard.
When I sits, I sits loose.
When I thinks, I falls asleep.
Which is Why….
Sometimes I sits and thinks,
and sometimes,
I just sits.

Good guitar…..weather sucks hard…..rain, cool and windy….just the day for guitar music…LOL
Coffee is the only answer for my mind block…..gotta get a “way back machine” chuq
*grin* I almost asked Santa for a time machine… But, instead, a friend wrote a blog that gave me an epiphany….
Stay dry & warm, amigo… I’ll be by to get snarky….
gigoid
I will look forward to you next visit….chuq
*grins innocently*
“innocently”? Hah! As guilty as beautiful…
*grins wickedly*
David Pugh! I say the same thing about helmet laws. Natural selection should be as uninterrupted as gravity.
Aesop is correct, proving we should not be meddling in the natural order. Too bad we teach our progeny herd mentality instead of the pack we naturally are. Peace on Earth. Bah! We really need a Predator to thin the moronic herd.
Your random quote relies heavily on punctuation. Were it I, the en-dashes would disappear securing place for my comma after “think”.
And hardly anyone hears, not even Bee’s voices, and no one cares, present excluded.
Xxx
Yah, fer sure… I knew this group of pearls would be more transparent to you than to most (meaning almost all…) I only left in the en-dashes because it made it easier for some to get it… or, offered a chance, anyway.
Because you hear, & care, is exactly why the very last line of every post is the same… addressed to mon petit cheri ami, La Rouge Magnifique…
Love
