                                                                          Be warned , I have no idea where this is gonna go , and I don't even care . I have reached that time in my life where considering what is acceptable to others , doesn't really do it for me any more . You see those days of minding your p's and q's has long since left my understanding of how things should be . Something is either right or it is wrong . To be pursued , or ignored at all costs . I have considered those grey areas where nothing is ever decided , and ultimately are always put on hold , until such time as someone else deems it fit for general consumption .You have to protect others emotions don't you ? You have to forsake truth for some makey up version of it haven't you ? . These are the things and positions in life I am not at all happy with .                                                                          When something happens to you in life be it good or bad , you

Willy Wonka !                                                                         Being a little bit of a movie buff , I was really saddened today when hearing of the passing of the comedic genius that was Gene Wilder . Born Jerome Silberman in 1933 , he died today having suffered from Alzheimer's for some years . With wife Gilda Radner                                                                          In 1967 I remember going to the cinema to see the movie Bonnie & Clyde with Warren Beatty , Faye Dunaway , Gene Hackman , and the very very new Gene Wilder . From get go you couldn't be anything but impressed with his stage presence . Though it was a small part , he took the proverbial bull by the horns and made himself an act to be reckoned with . He would go on and make some other serious movies , but he really excelled when it came to comedy . Young Frankenstein                                                                         In 1968 h

                                                                  When it comes to believing in what you have been shown and taught about people who decide to put themselves out there to be elected in various positions in life , you should be fairly certain about who you decide to give your vote to . It is no longer safe to assume that just because your family and their families before them chose to support a certain party , that you should continue with the same tradition .                                                                   For certain parties things will always remain the same , but in a lot of instances what they might have deemed , policies that would never be compromised , if you examine them closely enough something definitely different has been added to their agendas . No longer is the hand shaking , backslapping , broad smiling faces that greet you everywhere you go , enough to steal your vote from you . It is without doubt now , all important to make sure that

                                                                           Practically every single day that you either look at media platforms , or news channels , you will hear of another teenager going missing . I as a senior member of society , as in being in my sixties , can remember with great certainty that the amount of teenagers going missing like this is a new kind of phenomenon . I am not saying for one minute that it didn't happen at all . But what I am saying is that the amount of teenagers that are constantly going missing is increasing day by day , something that no family and parents should ever have to suffer .                                                                            Another rather alarming trend , also connected to some disappearances , is the missing children's peers daring them to do just that , disappear . You'd wonder especially if you are the parent of one of these children that have gone missing , what really gets into their heads

                                                                    When people speak of happiness , what do you think it means to them ? When those same people pursue happiness what exactly are they trying to find ? Because as we all know quite well , happiness is made up of many shapes and forms . What makes you happy may be the exact opposite from someone else's perception of what it means and what is required by them .                                                                    You see from experience , there are lots of self made obstacles that prevent you from ever reaching that ultimate destination . Most moments of happiness are fleeting . They stay just long enough to tease you . If given the chance , everyone would bottle that single moment of euphoria and replay it over and over and over . Never to be sickened by its continuous feeling of wanting it to last forever .                                                                    In some instances , just the

Seriously America ?                                                                          I've been following everything and anything American politics of late . It's so entertaining to say the least . I mean the two candidates are complete polar opposites , and yet not one of them is to be believed .                                                                          In one corner you have the obviously self proclaimed  racist  Donald Trump . And in the opposite corner you have that politically scorned woman Mrs. Hilary Clinton .                                                                          Now if you have followed the election from the start , you will have seen the field whittled down to these two political aberrations . Headlining the news columns and magazine pages , these two were designed and put forward as a David & Goliath scenario . Hilary Clinton in all of her majesty and pomp , expected to waltz away with the election simply because she

                                                                          I'm finding it increasingly more difficult to make any real sense of myself lately . I've been talking to like minded people like myself , and they have , just like me come to the same conclusion . Its not like its a confusion or anything like that . Its more of a wanting of seclusion and separation that is spurring us all on . We have all spoken of the effects that such a stance induces , and to be honest they are not what you would call comfortable . In fact when spoken of , and approached they are downright scary .                                                                          You can be of the opinion that certain things don't matter in your life . Purely because you abandoned any contact with those feelings and emotions maybe many years ago . That does not mean for instance , that they have ceased to exist . It simply means you have put them on the back burner , you might say . But th

                                                                         It appears there is a surprise in store for all of us who continually have nothing better to do than watch what happens from day to day in American politics .There is so much going on over there that if you said J.F.K. was in fact still alive , you wouldn't be at all surprised . This is the thing about America , its a cartoon story . It's like a Marvel comic with super baddies under the name of Hilary Clinton , and certainly not forgetting Donald Trump . What makes this even more unbelievable is that they are both running for the presidency of the United States of America .                                                                         Now let me just reiterate what I have always said and which just happens to be the truth , that I am not what you would call an overly educated person . The money just wasn't there for that sort of thing . So I did what I could with limited resources .I am kin

                                                                           There is something quite unfunny going on , and to be honest it has come to the stage that something needs to be said an done about it . I mean certain promises and predictions have been made , and every time you start believing in them , even if its only a little bit , you are forever being let down . In this life I really don't  ask for much . I don't even expect much , as I have learned that to expect is to be continually setting yourself up for a fall of some description . So with that in mind , and you knowing full well my feelings on the matter , I hereby declare war on the bastards who continually let not just me , but let us all down in one particular way or another . Let me explain.........................                                                                            Here we are , on the sixth day of August 2016 , a Saturday , in the throes of summer . Earlier on this week it was
