Talk about dedication.<br /><br />I didn't know they gave out blog licenses. Pretty sure mine was revoked, oh... about 350 articles ago. <br /><br />The reason Rush never became as popular as Led Zep was because Robert Plant is a pretty boy.<br /><br />Fin.Statichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875998739533600766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046843553802315058.post-77989882905482106952012-12-17T12:57:24.937-07:002012-12-17T12:57:24.937-07:00Howdy, Dixie,
Yeah. the unknown author is right. ...Howdy, Dixie,<br /><br />Yeah. the unknown author is right. There's been quite a few people, throughout history, who put the truth in something said in jest. It would be nice if more people took the time to ingest the words' meanings to gain the wisdom from them, too.<br /><br />I think it would be great if you could visit the Mrs. and I for a sit and a chat. It would be worth risking the space-time continuum. I did a blog post some time ago, talking about how interesting it would be to really meet the people we blog with online.<br /><br />I appreciate you checking out the links. I think those types of people who keep walking blindly into the brick wall have done so, so many times, that they's put a hole in the wall from so many hits and have fallen over the edge.<br /><br />No, the week I'm having isn't a total shit- so far. Last week was total shit but that was due to people trying to screw around with us and my grandmother being a b*tch. I'd rather not go into it. It was bad enough living through it.<br /><br />I sincerely hope you have a great week and that you're doing well. Take care. Dixie.

"Many a truth is said in jest."...i Kelly.<br />"Many a truth is said in jest." -author unknown, but we know what this refers to... and when we take time to ingest the words' meanings... wisdom follows.<br /><br />Good grief, if only I could really visit you (and Mrs. Kelly), have a sit and chat vacation...space-time-continuum might not ever exist again! Or does it now?<br /><br />The links you supplied were well worth the watch; I'm grateful as some many people keep walking blindly into a brick wall ~ ya'll.<br /><br />Hope your week isn't a total shit.<br />Peace out!

In the latest episode of Hawaii 5-0, McGarret enters a contest to see how many coconuts he can stuff up his rectum. He always wins so no one really places bets any more. <br /><br />I read that book and found a lot of flaws with his reasoning. Humans, in general, have become increasingly less caring and their infatuation with wealth, technology and power prove this point with every day that passes. Besides, my post was about inspirations and heroes.

I'm glad you could understand and agree with some of what I said here.

I've had to try it out on a couple of chimps before and also more than a few people who are easily distracted and incredibly annoying and dense in the head.<br /><br />No, a hero is someone who saves your life or someone else's life. An inspiration can be a person or things that inspires you in one way or another. This difference was explained in the post in several different ways in the hopes someone somehow some way could grasp what i was trying to say.<br /><br />George Carlin and Kurt Vonnugut, for examples were inspirations to me because they gave out very astute observations on life the behavior of most members of society. Glad I'm your hero. I know you mean that. ;) Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605551857342134163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046843553802315058.post-4283341244127577322012-12-16T14:05:05.858-07:002012-12-16T14:05:05.858-07:00klahanie (otherwise known as Gary)-
To Everyone, ...klahanie (otherwise known as Gary)-<br /><br />To Everyone, really...<br /><br />Sorry for the long delay in responding, people. A lot of things have been going on my end and, more importantly, when I respond on my blog or someone else's blog, I like to give more than a one line response or something that has substance and relates to the post. I didn't feel as though I could answer my comments on this post the way I'd want to and have time for. <br /><br />With that out of the way for all, here, to read...<br /><br />Gary, I'm glad we're in agreement over the redundant and misplaced use of the word "hero." Heroes and inspirations are both people and things that we can learn from. I hope my point and opinion gets across from what I write in the post, because frankly, being misinterpreted, words being twisted or ignored, completely- or also having assumptions made on topics I've written on in the past is getting tiresome. <br /><br />I noticed from our interactions toward each other that we both share a lot of likes for the same bands.<br /><br />I'm glad we've gotten to know each other over the years enough to have that admiration for each other. You have inspired me more than a few times, as well.<br /><br />I could use some support now but I know you have your own problems. Between this troll woman on Farcebook who's telling lies about me the depression I suffer more profoundly this time of year to my own family and financial woes, it's been a nightmare the past couple of months. <br /><br />Take care, Gary. Have a good life. <br /> Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605551857342134163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046843553802315058.post-18454813672783139162012-12-11T17:05:48.479-07:002012-12-11T17:05:48.479-07:00i shared a room with a man named eliot when i was ...i shared a room with a man named eliot when i was briefly institutionalized and considered to be a danger to myself. eliot was the most generous and caring man i have ever met. my only regret is never having the pleasure of hunting house flies with eliot. if eliot isn't a hero then whoever wrote the book on it doesn't know heroes for sour apples.billy pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128876723713271131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046843553802315058.post-29862632758079934912012-12-11T08:21:52.591-07:002012-12-11T08:21:52.591-07:00I'm glad you mentioned cops, even if grudgingl...I'm glad you mentioned cops, even if grudgingly. It made me think of Steve McGarret and Hawaii-5-0. McGarret was so dedicated to his job that he gave up sex. Chin Ho didn't, but was just as big a hero. The good news is that humans are indeed better at empathizing and caring for their fellow citizens than they used to be.

I agree with much of what you have said here; it's probably just a matter of definition. Maybe I should have called the series 'People Whose Achievements I Admire' but it doesn't have the same impact!<br />That two really interesting posts in a row now!

"Hero" is someone who inspires you and who you want to live your life like, right? Well I sure as shit don't want to life like George Carlin or Hunter S. Thompson. <br />I guess it's you, my hero is you. Guide me, sansei.

The word hero is overused and true heroes are those who selflessly would save others or put their own lives at risk to save a fellow man or creature.<br /><br />And heroes can inspire. And inspirations such of those who set examples of positivity for us, despite their own problems, are lessons that can lead onto better things in our lives.<br /><br />And your musical choices are very much personal favourites of mine. In your own way, my friend, you inspire me and you are a hero in your own special way. I think our support may well save a life.<br /><br />You take good care and I'm deeply grateful for your kindness.<br /><br />Garyklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.com
