Another Week 73 - Pepe an' Jose., Julia, the Paralympics.,

Roald Dahl

&

Springsteen

Ramble On
Yellow leaves are beginning to 'appen., already.. and for the few months my skin don't itch., man, I now have to psych myself up for the next ten months of scratching.. I followed some geezer yesterday who was carrying a roll of Christmas paper.. while another dude was carrying a plastic Xmas shopping bag..
I did another commercial..; I'll be on the road again.. and it's car tax season.. I'm feeling Iceland., Stavanger & Finland with a lil Camino thrown in for good measure..

The

Race of Gentlemen

Wildwood

Pismo

I guess I just live a different life.. I like Weetabix., but not a wet backpack.. I'd like to get the two creases on my forehead tanned.., but don't know how.. and I'd also like to de-sunlotion my dark glasses.. I'm 2 lbs over my fighting weight.. an' I don't do habits..; well, yes I do., damnit.

Life's rhythm is gonna change soon.; I can feel it in my bones.. My 50-140mm f2.8 Fuji gig is rock'n'roll ready.. There's a certain personality trait that drives me up the wall.. & my mind went there.. 

signs are everywhere

New York sounds like New York.. I throw down the gauntlet to see if you get through the first five minutes of 

See No Evil Hear No Evil without laughing.; thankyou Gene Wilder/Richard Prior..

Why does stretching feel good

summer early morning sounds are good different
and
really., what is it with 'those' eyebrows.. girls..

Life without sunsets

&

peace behind gates

I guess., I simply don't know how to 'operate' a TV..- apparently Russell Howard's funny.. and the bobtail squid's tiny.. David Moyes is 'shaping' (?) up another memorable team..

The 'epic strut' deal ad for Money Supermarket leaves me cold an' shakin' all over.. and duh., obviously I remember it.. so the ad company did their gig, (I guess)., however, I'm remembering it for ALL the wrong reasons and as a result, could never seriously 'go' with them for the epic fail and lack of 'professionalism' I'd expect from a money deal place thingy..
I mean., someone actually signed off on that deal., paid the budget and said something like..; ''Wow., agency peeps., that is bloody fantastic and a piece of TV commercial art..; nice work guys and gals..'' 
Such is the way of the world now..; let's produce gawd awful stuff..

The car's set up for another legal year..

What happened to the English high street..! It's turned into something really quite shabby and unrecognisable from a western 'power's' expectation..., or certainly this individual's idea of where we should be at.., man..

Trashy., sad.., decaying., dark., spooky and whatever feeling it is that makes my skin crawl..

Tis jus' another week's worth of experience, thought and living

done deal

&

out

baby

... but not before I try to swallow even more of the Hilary and Donald comedy hour.. and what it throws up on my feed..

Thanks this week go/goes to - Travis Rudolph - The man known as Reid - Airbnb’s Disaster Response Program - Fidencio Sanchez - Emma Yang - Rene Neira and Alexey Romanov

Another Week 72 - Ibrahimovic., Stephen Colbert., Woodstock and

Disneyland

I guess walking the street now means doing so with your head down and your thumbs  working overtime.; no wonder we don't smile., or acknowledge one another.., no wonder we miss out on stuff., and no wonder we keep bumping into each other with aggressive reactions being the outcome..; the whole distraction from the middle of texting., or 'gaming'., or pokee thingy mon.. is killing instinctive facial communications and causing far too much idle aggression.., in my opinion.., baby..

I wore shorts.. I got wet.., I got cold..; I wore shorts.. I've also been drinking far too much Pepsi Max..

I had a dream last night.. and Woody Harrelson was in it..; I mean., WHY..! 

so., I just picked up the new '16 by the sea 'program'.. and wait for it..; I'll offer NO more than titles for ya to make yer own mind up on the diverse quality and never to be missed crap stuff infamous generous offerings.. First off., we have .., but (there is SO much more and) not just excluded to

sea of freaks

walk the plank

icarus beach patrol

highly strung's urban astronaut

getting out of the box

the critically acclaimed and eccentric 'the ball'

there's a submercycle, a storm in a teacup and an

installation that explores nature and social networks.,

apparently

t

he market

and all brought to you by yellow buses, a couple of bars

&

'foreign' printers

I can't wait

it's mostly free

&

I

wonder

why

By now., the come down from the olympics has set in., but fortunately for me., there are local paths to digest.. I've gotta plug in and charge my stuff., man.. I've managed to drive with my windows open., yeah.. Beach hugs rock... and the new season's under way as the old one draws to a close..; man, those leaves.!

jus' dunno about apple..; I guess the logo, the branding work., however.. I saw a few planes fly over a few hundred thousand excited folk.. and why do people 'wander' (and suddenly stop., or change direction) on crowded paths (?).; it's already difficult and trying enough without any added (and unnecessary.?) frustrations.. It's ok., it's ok., I'm calm.. Ohmm..

Taxes

Farage and Trump are making news..; well, I suppose now that the two ronnies., morecambe and wise., smith and jones., bob hope., martin and lewis., tommy cooper., carry on and mike yarwood are no more., we've gotta have someone something to marvel at..

There are places I remember

all my life

does anybody know the way., there's got to be a way

vitamin d., b12 and choc' digestives., clean laundry.., garmin., old tunes., new tunes., Taylor Swift's alleged (smile*) new boobs..

If ya wanna take in some aunt mary., some african bush, some blue sky blond., some chicago black., some fruity juice., some indian hay., some magic smoke., some northern lights*., some zig zag man., some ganja., or some plain ole cannibis., marijuana., or hemp.., then take a walk along the boardwalk, stay close to the pier.. where 'everyone' hangs out., or take that leisurely holiday stroll you've always wanted to take in through the Gardens, where, among other things, you can get orft on a little hip bandstand rock., or play wid yer old balls on the grey lil putting place (that smells of 'relief'), thingy., man..; ya can smell it, see it smoked openly.. and right where 'that' bench is, ya can even get to see indiscreet handshakes, followed by hands disappearing into pockets, followed by more 'handshakes'... Some of that crap is pretty darn pungent., some of it ain't., but unless that stuff's an earl grey bag in a pipe, I'm not mistaken.. Any day of the week., any week of da year., man.. Good thing 'we' have a plethora of rehab houses, centers, projects, clinics to satisfy the demand.. 

Jus' listen for.. and 'go' towards the loud ass'd intimidating boom boom chakka chak

music., chinkin' of beer bottles and groovin' out group of 'understated' lookers ..

and

out
again
but
I
will
be
back

until then


have yourselves a wee bit of fun

Thanks this week go/goes to Vintage News - opinion - human rights campaigners - avocados and National Geographic

Another Week 71 - Melania Trump, Oil prices, veterans, eco safeguards and

I

Was

21

Once., but now I love the horizon..

Regardless
of
one's
politics

delusions of grandeur - hmm (?)., America's 'not' great (.?) and you need The Donald (he who builds walls) to actually make it great .; erm..! - scratches head

if lush means something to do with vegetation., then cool.; if it means anything else., duh

Clearly
The town should be renamed
Landfill Site
BH2

Some people really do get off on stuff

t-shirts

Let me talk about t-shirts..
I  take a hike along the 'prom'., yuck..; I loathe that cheesy word. It conjures up 'an immediate dated image'
anyway., back to the hike.;
there are Santa Monica ones., there are Surf City ones.; there are California ones., Malibu ones.; there are SF ones and Huntington Beach ones..

 There are L.A. ones

I'm not sure how many ones have actually come from those places as I can buy them in the town's department stores..; yes., department stores.., NOT the 't-shirt' souvenir type stores, but yer aKtual high street stores..
Now then..; I don't see ANY erm., 'local' ones.; not a one., not a single one.., but man., you can see da west coast ones.
And it ain't to do with logos., or branding., or design.., it's to do with the town's image., or lack of.. 
One can see 'Don't f*ck with me' ones though., or sh*g me ones..; you can see 'it won't suck itself' ones., even nice tits ones..; you can see drinking ones and fart ones.., but you won't see any Bomo., or Sobo ones..
I wonder why..
The Prom with its cheese sandwiches., chips and beer
Put the kettle on love and make us another tea.. and load the sugar up while you're at it..; I'm off for a smoke..

innit

 

Apparently there's a digital revolution going on., athough all I see are table tennis tables., candle jars and a hole where a balloon should be.. Ahh., sigh, those beautification peeps sure know how to party on.., dude..

If you're able to

check out those frisky

MotherUkers..;

.. they got my feet tapping along with a two hour smile.., but give that damn pony-tailed Elton John type piano playing wannabee, geezer, ego a miss, or those tedious Titanic jokes and yawning set will have you reaching for the bucket.. black is black, I want my baby back.. Paint it Black.., Back in Black., Black Night., Black Magic Woman.. and Black's Wonderful Life come to mind., but that lowercase black certainly doesn't.. Same Ole same ole summerlive.,

sadly..  Square time is like those terrible old black and white movies that have been colourized.., poorly..

brown

lowercase

lifestyle.. , or prefer an understated energy...

it's all a case of having a faith

?

Maybe

surely

we can be the change in the world we want,
but sadly we 'pledge' by posting about it from coffee shops
or a park bench somewhere
or with an ice-scream in our hand
or sipping a glass of something white and chilled
or from our free WiFi zones
or walking some foreign street

'I'll tell you what I want., what I really really want..''

week

Another Week 70 - Trump., POTUS., Brexit and

Irritating and lame opinions

and

that's my opinion

52 degrees

F

Nope., no need for any UV protection., again

It's only summertime

• Today
  It will be a grey start to the day with outbreaks of mostly light rain throughout. The rain will ease for many into the afternoon but the winds will be strong, perhaps with coastal gales.
  Tonight
  

  Patchy but persistent rain will continue tonight. Away from the coast it will become drier towards dawn as the winds ease.

yet

Hmm., is ole Don the Trump., for real.? and 'we' like him., for erm, what (?), exactly..

judgement

by

judgemental 

non-judgemental 

people

Notifications., and big houses., long assed drives and sticking to facts.. Why do 'people' feel the need.. Empathy, understanding and open ness.  

Apparently aesthetics only work the one way., or the way to suit.. Noises, sounds, speeches., chaos, jeers.. and content., only work 'the one way'..!  Confrontation only works when it suits.. and politics stinks.., but only as bad as social media posts left by unqualified opinion ists..; let's stick to facts.. and the fact is.., or the facts are.., the sun is shining.., I planted some bluebells.. and I cut some hedges., man..

Trash

rubbish and the inability to walk to a bin., or put it into a bag and why do we simply leave it, walk away and not think anything about our actions.. Well., it's really obvious and quite simple really..; we just don't care or give a monkey about others.. I know, lets just put a wind-breaker up., ignore our neighbours and leave sh*t for others to deal with.. We're ignorant, uncaring., selfish., defensive and love Dick Emery, brass bands., 'Free' rainbows and Trump rallies.., we love safe routines and town centre blahZ..; we love faded deck chairs., beer and cruise ship quality entertainment.. aNd we love this because., because it's easy., man.. and we like easy because., because we don't have to actually 'think'.. It's easy like a Sunday morning., it's easy like taking candy from a baby., it's easy like 123... It's easy like a blue flag beach and like an archaic council., it's easy like faith no more..

Try being a minority

I'm a minority

I'm a white male., a straight white male., a straight white male 'over 21'.., a straight white male over 21 who cares.. and I'm admitting this because I've never waved a flag and shared this before.. 

I also don't watch reality., or listen to reality if it comes via prime-time TV .. I wear jeans and don't use hair gel.; I'm a man who doesn't 'thread' his eyebrows., or shave his legs.. I'm a minority.. I'm under 6' and read more than one newspaper for my news.. I also take in more than one type of television news coverage and reporting styles.. Yep., I'm a minority.. I have a faith and I observe and respect other faiths.. I loathe and can't understand Dr.Who's cultishness ness.., or people who think its the bees knees..; I don't do eccentricities., shorts with jackets.., I don't do niceties for the sake of popularity or likes.. and I don't enjoy throwing firecrackers into a fire for sport or debate.. Yeah baby, I'm a minority.. - I'm a straight white male over 21 who cares.. and really., who cares..

heartbeats - 

It really doesn't matter (to me) how big the house is., if it's dark., it's dark., man.. and if it's dark., I don't do it well.. Zeros only work for those who live by their naughts.. and I don't live by numbers.. 

what is ignorance

what is naivety

what is patience

what is time

&

why do we take

e-mails, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and The Daily Mail

&

preaching from the pulpit., the soapbox

violence., weapons., suits and decisions.. Power.,. control., weakness and fear..

The End

The Doors

Snobbery

and

sharing the ride

Go see All or Nothing

go walk

go listen

carry a backpack

breath and observe

hit a tennis ball

float

eat an Oreo cookie

water a plant

drink red wine with white meat

hell., just drink red wine

STOP killing each other

PLEASE

Out
