oi!
I seem to have a hobbie for collecting eclectic things and skills. I think it's this San Francisco air thats turning me this way. My latest musical mood is the Soul Bassanova Era. A co-worker has a great bassanova collection, so who else to ask but him. So from what i heard, What does Frank Sanatra listen to when he wants some music? His main favorites are from Joao Gilberto, the father of Bassanova and of daughter Bebel Gilberto another excellent Bassanova singer. Bassanova is that 1950's brazilian jazz. I guess it can be deemed as music you hear at a department store elevators (if it's not classical music).
Unfortunately I think thats it for me and the gunshow here in Frisco.. everytime i go it seems like it's a dying tradition.. This time there seemed to be more filled with 'stuff' there were more vendors but there were ALOT more crap.. Porcelain dolls or plates anyone? How about t-shirts? 3-beef jerkey tables! Clothes? Posters? Signs? Silverware? Knives? Knives seem to be the rage now, there were quite a few tables of knife vendors. Cell phone goodies, old whacky military supplies also had their table. I think it should be changed from the gun show to the swap meet with guns.. here i am all amped up to get some gunpowder n bullets.. and only 3 tables sold small quantites of 1lb. jars of powder. One 1 table had the powder i wanted. and i'd say 3 or 4 tables actually sold the bullet part of the cartridge. How sad it's become. I was looking for a HK USP in .45 but nobody had that either.
Afterwards the crew gathered in our suits at Bullshead (always ToAsTy Approved!) for some nummie burgers.. Yes we need to go there more. Vicks wants to tempt fate with the 16$ FullPound "FamilyBurger" with sides!
Dana's Serivce was nice, the church was packed to the walls and it got emotional at times. It is sad for such a young lady to have passed, but dwelling on the bad isn't gonna make things go away. Instead seeing what shes done and brought to us will hopefully inspire us to Live. Like the great George Carlin said.. "We have more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years."
Who knows how long we've got, if everybody had a timer. Life would be a whole lot different. If everybody knew when their times are up they can go all out on a rampage, through the darkside. But then there are those who want to extend the knowledge of the mankind, to help others. I think that everybody in the world should be given a gift they could see so that there wouldn't be people on rampages. The earth is a giant pie and your piece of it is Very, Very small. Usually it's the people whos lost or gave up on life where the dark side manifests. Everybody has a gift and should use it to it's full potential. Maybe thats why i like the old world stuff, trying to keep it alive? All i have to say is.. Just Live..
Bye Dana.
