It brings a smile to my face.

"I write because I want to remember and because words hold more truth then memories sometimes, at least they will when I may be old and my hands may be wrinkly and and the details may be fuzzy. I write cause I'm afraid of forgetting. Thoughts that are fleeting and an undocumented word is just as short-lived." This is a little look at what brings a smile to my face.

Really it’s the Christians that make me mad. Come on CHRISTIANS. Your heart should be breaking but instead you’re posting memes about a tragedy that fits your political agenda.

I would like to point out that The Laurel and Hardy Love Affair was the orginal La La Land.

Also I’d like to point out that Ray Bradbury’s way with the written word is unparalleled!

They met at one of those dumb cocktail parties where everyone wonders what they are doing there. But no one goes home, so everyone drinks too much and lies about how grand a late afternoon it all was.

I see people, as they approach me, trying to make up thier minds whether they’ll ‘say something about it’ or not. I hate it if they do, and if they don’t.

We walked across the road from our little house to the the only church in town. It was an old grey stone building from the early 1800’s. We didn’t worry about being early because we were told everything runs on highland time here( a way of saying everything starts later ). Up until this point that was true. Well, I’d like to let it be known that church doesn’t run on highland time! Church is on time. We walked through the old wooden doors. We walked through the front of the church. We walked past the pulpit, smiled sheepishly at the locals, and quickly took our seats in the back. Who knew the only entrance was through the FRONT of the church! We where handed a hymnal from a lady in front of us. Worship promptly started as an elderly women in the front pew, on cue from the pastor, pushing play on the CD player. We all sang along to the hymn I’d never heard of in my life. I squinted to read the hymnal of the couple in front of me because our book was quite a different version. Worship was beautiful as all the voices sang in chorus in that old church building. A mild hiccup occurred as the lady in charge of the sacred CD player dozed a bit and forgot to press play for the next song.

Insurance lady on the phone, “So before we continue can I confirm that your 18 years and older? Because you sound awfully young.”I wanted to tell her I looked under 18 too. I can’t wait till I’m 100 and people still think I’m 50.

When you realize 2017 was a terrible year.

And that’s without even taking into account politics.

In spite of the momentary desire he had just been feeling for company of any sort, on being actually spoken to he felt immediately his habitual irritable and uneasy aversion for any stranger who approached or attempted to approach him."

Oh, sometimes I think it is of no use to make friends. They only go out of your life after awhile and leave a hurt that is worse then the emptiness before they came.

Sherlock Holmes was a man who seldom took exercise for exercise’s sake…He looked upon aimless bodily exertion as a waste of energy, and he seldom bestirred himself save where there was some professional object to be served.
