Since I have not been given much of a life, I watch an
awful lot of television, which includes an awful lot of commercials. Now, a “GOOD” ad is one that holds my
attention and makes me want to at least learn more about the product or service
it is for. A “BAD” ad is one that
quickly becomes nothing more than background noise when it cannot be skipped
over. “UGLY” ads are much worse. For not only do they make we want to never
see them again, they make me want to never have anything to do with the company
that paid for them to be produced. Of
course, you may feel differently, but I sure wouldn’t say much about it around
anyone with a lick of sense. For I am,
after all, an expert on such things—albeit only in my own mind!
Not every song that
will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian”
in the eyes of this world. For some will
be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously
fervent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless,
be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another)
and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.
Why
Annie Lennox
Why
Why
How many times
Do I have to try to
tell you
That I'm sorry
For the things I've
done
But when I start to
try to tell you
That's when you
have to tell me
Hey
This kind of
trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too
many times
Why don't you ever
learn to keep your big mouth shut
“Come
Monday…” is a weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary
about, websites, movies, documentaries,
television shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the
time. Be assured that these reviews will
be generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come
Monday.” This is subject to change,
however. In fact, I would be most
derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while. For rants promote change, and change can be
good—right? Therefore, since good is
generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel
universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being
something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).
I
will not be voting this coming election, and I greatly resent the claim that
those who do not vote forfeit their right to complain about the results. For I do not want to lend my support to
either President Obama or Mitt Romney, and an option to vote for none of the
above is not given.
Yeah,
I suppose I could use the write-in option, but does this really count for
anything? If I believed it did, I would
be all for exhuming and reanimating [Pat Paulsen]!
Okay,
the main reason for why I will not be voting this year has more to do with
failing to register for permanent absentee status than with my great lack of
enthusiasm for the presidential candidates this time around. For there are plenty of more local candidates
I would like to vote for and even more I would like to vote against.
The
same applies to several issues up to be voted on, such as drastically raising
the state tax on tobacco products for the benefit of our children (again). For there is not a doubt in my mind that all
of that money would go into the general fund to be used at the discretion of
those holding the purse strings, just like all of the money from the state
lottery that is supposed to be paying for improvements to our school systems.
Alas,
there is so much more that I would like to share with you, but it will have to
wait until later. For my typical 15%
energy capacity is struggling to reach 8% this morning, and my batteries have
not recharged properly for over 20 years now.
So,
the current plan is to add an update with a link to the rest of this story when
it becomes available for consumption on The Trib. Be assured that I would like to assure you
that this will be accomplished later on today, but Arlynda swears that I am not
to be trusted. Sigh. The rest of this story: [He Hated F.D.R.]
Back during my childhood, our parents would often load
up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive
around where we lived. Even though we
were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them, and this is
why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a weekly series
revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again. The link below the image is to the site
itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.
This is a weekly
series that will include a brief summary of the latest articles that have been
published on The Tribulation Times Herald-Exhorter. Hopefully, this will encourage you to go
check out some truly outstanding articles that have been published by a number
of truly outstanding authors. Moreover,
I hope this will also encourage you to want to become a contributing
member/author, as well. The “Hear
Ye! Hear Ye!” site explanation near the
top of the side-bar should answer many of your questions. Yes, this series also included an “SOS! (Spam
On Saturdays)” segment before, but it
just wasn’t working for me. Therefore,
that will be replaced by a republishing of one of the Trib articles.
[Stumbling Steps] contains videos and the lyrics for Lifehouse’s Hanging By A Moment, DC
Talk’s What If I Stumble, and Kansas’ Hold On.
The SOLE purpose of this weekly series is
to help call attention to sites that I think many would find most
interesting—in one way or another. Just
to be clear, inclusion in this series is not necessarily meant as a
recommendation, and I have included sites that are rather disturbing to
me. The link below each image is to the
site itself, and each image is linked to the particular post from which it was
taken when applicable. Please, go see
for yourself. Oh, and as of August 10,
2012, I will be no longer including sites that have auto-play and word
verification engaged.
