One Island

This particular site utilizes the first shared WordPress theme of 2009 and the basic precept is to keep it clean & simple like the original theme itself and without all the “bells & whistles” common in many blogs.  The scope of this weblog is the world in which we all live, which opens it up to practically any topic. 

 

“The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.”

 

- Albert Einstein

Rider On The Storm

Mental Institution Escape

Was it fair to take a state criminal to the state fair? Maybe, maybe not, but it was insane!

“… Theres a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah …”

Our New President!

I captured the CNN eulogy by our President Obama to the Kennedy family today.  The most stunning oration ever put together in my lifetime!  We have a solid winner with our new president, and even though I was brought up as a Republican, it doesn’t matter… We are all in this together. The multiple party system has it advantages. 

Hat’s off to our leader!

Proud to be American!

CNN showed Obama’s eulogy to Senator Edward Kennedy, and it was the most stunning vocalization (speech) in my lifetime. I am proud to be American, and extremely impressed with our leader! I’ve been raised as a Republican, however; we are United and the two party system has it’s advantages. Sorry, if I not making much sense, I’m a little emotional I at this point in time.

Things are tough all over!

It’s not just here in the good ol’ U S of A that hard times have befallen.  Britain is in at least as bad of shape as we are if not worse. 

MI6 must have provided  Tony Blair with some good intel, he got out in a nick of time.

Darling, You Look Absolutely Be-Headed

Wife files for divorce, husband beheads her and leaves her in his office.  Since this is the United States of America, nobody is supposedly guilty until proven so in a court of Law.  Perhaps it’s merely circumcis circumstantial evidence?  The pressure of todays economic condition may have caused him to lose his mind and, in turn, her to lose her head.

Enough of the puns!  It is indeed a tragedy and I’m afraid we are in for much more news of this variety in the very near future.

It’s SSOOO Soylent Green

metro_museumJust think, in a couple more millenia, future archeologists will be digging around through the layers of strata/time that represent us today.  What conclusions will they draw?  I can imagine that they may believe that Starbuck’s was a place of worship, Ronald McDonald a deity, automobiles our exoskeletons and perhaps they may presume that plastic was the fabric of our clothing.  They will also most likely wonder what our diets consisted of.

The movie “Soylent Green”, which I remember seeing as a small child, was an interesting sci-fi type movie.  It featured Charlton Heston, Joseph Cotten, Chuck Conners, Leigh Taylor-Young and was Edward G. Robinson’s final movie before his death in 1973 (same year movie released).  What occurred to me today are the parallels between that movie 36 years ago and the actual circumstances of this day and age.  The movie was a foretelling of life in an extremely over-populated New York City in the year 2022. 

Another sci-fi movie from just a few years earlier but also starring Charlton Heston was the original “Planet Of The Apes”.  If you really think about it, that one also has many Nostradamus-like premonitions.

Something to ponder.
