I do not care where you’re from.
It was HOTTER than HADES today!
My FriJoles almost got burned when I got to my car seat!

Old Man
A couple of weeks ago,
Abbie blogged about her realization of being (old) “older”.
Read about it here.
You know,
I too had this epiphany not too long ago.
It’s not because I refer to the young kids as “young kids.”
It’s not because I can’t stand the “young kids” of today.
It’s not because I have adult responsibilities now.
It’s not because I mumble a lot when I’m alone.
It’s not because I go to bed very early.
Or had to get some nap time.
I had this revelation,
when I got home from work one day,
and I opened my bag,
And I saw about a dozen different kinds of medications in there.
Meds for:
Headaches, Migraines, Flu, Antacids, Cough, Colds, Wound Care, Sugar Level, Upset Stomach, Nausea, Gas, Diarrhea, Flatulence…..
Geez,
No wonder I am always Grumpy.
And where the hell is my Ambien????
The secret is out.
I was going to keep this on the down low,
until the very end.
But I guess, everyone is going to find out eventually.
Generate my Music!
I got this from Vince.

1. Go here.
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2. Go here.
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3. Go here.
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Go here.
The first ten links you end up in (minus the .coms) are your 10 song titles.

“Where is your tetot?”
Back to what it was..
Oh look!
He changed it back.
I told you it hurt my eyes.
At least I can change the design.
The music in here hurts my ears.
That one, I can’t do much about.
You’re going to have to suffer that with me.
HAPPY CANADA DAY!
Happy Birthday, Canada!
Bonne Fête du Canada!
New Song added – I Need You Lord
This is another one we used to sing in Church back in High School.
It’s another song by Bro. Mike Lapid.
I Need You Lord
Mobile Player here:
It’s another one of those songs that
helped me during tough times.
Seems like I take refuge in them quite often these days.
In these trying times, we all need the help we can get.
I hope this song would help anyone, as much as it helped me.

We pray for your soul, my dear friend.
Rest in the arms of our Lord.
You will be missed.
Helpless
A very close friend of mine in the Philippines
is in critical condition at this very moment.
Thoughts and prayers are the only things I can offer.
As I sit here, staring at this screen,
I really do not know what to think, or what to do.
I really don’t know.
“Helpless” would be the right word for it.
It’s not about me being very helpless,
it’s about me, not being able to help.
It’s the price you pay,
when your loved ones are far away.
Actually,
I think it’s more of,
It’s the price you pay,
when you decided to be far away.
