……First,….I would like to thank Marvin for recognizing What was “Goin’ On” 50-years ago….and trying to give us a heads-up….as to What was “Goin’ On”….but unfortunately…what was “Goin’ On” 50-years ago…..is still…. “Goin’ On”…..50-years later…..and that leads me to my next question…..someone asked…..
SHOULD WE STILL SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE IN SCHOOL?……Interesting question…..so, let see….should we?…. “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America”…..the “FLAG” isn’t looked at the same way by many people….Colin Kaepernick pointed that out years ago….. “the United States of America”…..the country is anything but united….that was proven when people stormed the Capital building….and attempted to take over the country…..because they didn’t believe in a democratic country anymore and decided an attempted coup….would change things in their favor…. “and to the republic for which it stands”…..our republic is so divided right now…..and elected politicians would rather fight each other….than find a way to take care of the people who elected them into office…..people who believed they would be taken care of….. “one nation under God”…..our nation is not under one particular God…..people worship different religions in many different ways…..Protestant…..Anglicans….Baptists…..Christian….Evangelical….Jesuism….Quakers…..Methodism…..Pentecostal….Islam…..Roman Catholic Church…..Jehovah Witness….Judaism ….so no, we are not under one God….. “Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”…..need I even comment on that?….because we all know that’s not true…..the question really is this…..should a false pretense be continued…..when what is being quoted….is not true?
11 BEST SANDWICHES IN THE WORLD…..Now, we all can get really creative…..with two pieces of bread….and what’s in the fridge if you have the munchies….even if two slices of bread winds up becoming a “Wish Sandwich”….you wish you had some meat…..anyway,….here’s Jono Elderton choices….the guy who wrote the article said…..1)….Grilled Cheese……really dude?….2)….Reuben Sandwich….yep, that’s a good one…..3) Banh Mi….don’t know it but it comes out of Vietnam….sliced pork, carrots, cucumber, lettuce and a spicy chili sauce….I could do that….anyway,….4)…Jamon Serrano/Jambon Buerre…..now this is a good one….and if you’re in Spain….. definitely munch on that one……5)….Philly Cheesesteak….. “OH HELL YEA!”……back in the day….a few photographers and I….would schedule our sessions…..so we would have time to go to Penn Station…..catch a train to Philly…..hop in a cab to the best place making them….hop back in a cab….back on the train….and eat them before our next studio session….so,… “OH HELL YEA!”…..6)…..Bocadillo de Calamares…..if you’re still in Spain…..you can munch on this fried calamari sandwich in Valencia, Bilbao or Barcelona…..7)….PB&J…..man that is like “THE GOD” of sandwiches…..8)….Doner Kebab…..that Turkish idea is a big hit in Germany…..if you’re in Hamburg…..look us up….we know a few good places….in Berlin….let me know…..we have friends….9)….Bacon Butty/Bacon and Egg Roll……NEXT!…….10)….Aloo Paratha (India)…..it’s a wheat flatbread eaten in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Maldives, Myanmar and Thailand….I’m sure I’ve eaten that in an Indian restaurant….and last but not least…11)…..Vegemite….I never heard about it….until I started listening to Men at Work…..after reading about how to make it….it reminds me of a thick peanut butter sandwich….the one where you need a gallon of milk to wash it down….gotta ask Ronnie, Susan and Joe about this one.
WHY DO I LIKE THE WONDER WOMAN FILMS?…..Well,….I’ll tell ya…..it’s not because Gal Gadot looks sexy as hell…in a Hollywierd type casting sexist outfit….hey, she could’ve worn a pair of Nike’s, Lululemon yoga pants and Paris St. Germain jacket for all I care….I like them because they showed us a civilization run by women…..they had it going on….and they would….if need be…..kick your ass….everyone was taken care of….sort of in a military kinda way….but hey…..it worked and all was good until…. “MAN” showed up…..then everything turned into a soggy graham cracker….my point is….men,….maybe it’s time to step back and let women run things….look at history….it doesn’t look too good when we’re running things huh?…..a few countries have tried it….let a few women run things…and it has worked….sometimes….but….take a peek and see what a few women in charge are doing now……Jacinda Ardern – New Zealand, Angela Merkel – Germany, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf – Liberia, former Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schnidl -Denmark, Ameenah Gurib-Fakim – Mauritius, Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila – Namibia, Damilola Odufuwa and Odunayo Eweniyi – Nigeria, Kamala Harris – USA, Stacey Abrams – USA, Sarah Gilbert – United Kingdom, Bilkis Dadi – India, Nemonte Nenquimo – Ecuador…..this is just a few women who care….Wonder Woman’s society was organized….and yes it was a film….but….Mosuo, Minangkabau, Akan, Bribri, Garo and Nagovisi….are all women….all in control….all different ethnic groups that are considered…..”Kingdoms of Women”….and the societies they’ve chosen work because there are no men around to screw things up…..the only thing making me think outside the box is….where did all these Wonder Women come from….if there aren’t any men around to knock them up?…..do they have them all locked underground in a dark scientific lab….and were turned into sperm donors….like what they did to Don Johnson…..in that horrible film called….A Boy and his Dog?…..just askin’…..at least at the end of Don’s film…..he had a chance to eat the girl…..literally!
IN THE MALDIVES A DAY ON THE WATER IS FOOD FOR THE SOUL….Tell my wife….something she doesn’t know……anyway,…..
NFL FANS SMOKE MORE CANNABIS ON GAME DAY THAN FAN OF EVERY OTHER MAJOR SPORT….Man these “Stupid Study People” are slow…..when I read this….my brain took off….and started remembering games with my friends….and we were lit….screaming at the TV….talking trash because The Cowboys….were getting dusted….but I also remember…beer and food runs…..cooking…..laughing….my man nodding out in the corner…..and then waking up asking what’s the score….and we won’t tell him…..and bust out laughing….so “Stupid Study People”…..catch-up because those are great times….and a lot of us have been doing it since the 60’s…..and while you’re studying….we smoked while we watched Basketball, The Olympics, Football…the other football…..Cricket?…..I’m not sure about that one….but one thing I am sure about…..people in England, Australia, South Africa, India and New Zealand…..twist up and watch the game….I don’t think I could blunt during a Cricket match….because a game could go on for three days.
