 Did this man find a tree that once touched the sky? Or is his head in the clouds? Image from  Flickr You guys know I’m a tree-hugger and boy would this just take the cake but man, I have to say that besides the Flat Earth theory  — I mean, this guy has me smiling ear to ear. Just watch and listen, or put on the closed captions. That’s what I did. But then I had to turn up the volume just to hear if this guy actually believed what he was saying! It’s like Avatar had it right? Right? Who can’t wait for the second movie to come out? Zack Snyder’s Justice League really set the bar high! He opened up after horrible circumstances and really put his creative foot forward! James Cameron is gonna really have a run for his money. These artists are brilliant! And let’s not even talk about the next Matrix ! Tree Sky High? Or Sky High Guy? You tell me, and let’s talk about it! If you’re inspired, connect with me over here .

I Won't Take It...

 Flash Fiction for Fun Photo from Flickr and edited by the author  This is called Flash Fiction . I’ve just re-invented it! Before each sentence think to yourself, “I won’t take it anymore…” in any variety of ways, and see what you can imagine. Let’s begin! … She didn’t. Knife in her garter. … He did though. Everyday, for the rest of his life to the end of his rope. … She didn’t. Got better. Got worse. Then she did and she got better for awhile. The hands were mangled, and the knife… She sits by the bench as it passes. The wind from it pulling her beggar’s sign along with the tumbling newspapers… … An empty toilet. It’s less messy to leave it. … No soda for you, but you’re up a dollar. … “POP!” said the balloon. … and don’t you take it either. “Put it back. Let’s go, Son!” … That’s what she said. I hope you enjoyed my little romps of the imagination! It’s easy to do. Try it! If you’re inspired, connect with me over here . If you’re curious, leave me your email here . If you like any o

 More off-beat poetry by Jay Horne that will make you think you caught a buzz. All Illustrations by Jay Horne and Copyright 2021 by Bookflurry Inc. Killbuzz I’ll kiss you on your forehead, nose, knees, and elbows too I’ll kiss you on your cheek,and back, then along your neck Woo Hoo! But when I try and kiss you on your ear, please tell me why… You chase me with a vengeful shoo and remark that I should die. Shipments and Cargo | Just take another Dose Jiminy Cricket lost his ball in a thicket when he was doing so well He was no lamer than a Pokemon trainer who’s turtle was beat by a snail When it was raining cats and dogs Jill went to get her pail But the poodles had all turned to ice and the rain had turned into hail They took shelter with a baby-sitter serving cough syrup and sweets Then wondered why’s the running done by noses and all the smelling done by feets!

Phil-osophy 101

Image
Perversion, death and breasts, advice from a SEAL, and our right to question everything. Image by Juergen_G from Pixabay and edited by the author I’ve successfully made it through about a fifth of the New Living Translation of the Holy Bible. About now, is when I’m getting a little leery about reading any other scriptures, as I’ve seen what happened to Pharaoh. I mean, I don’t want to go read back through the copy of the Quran I have on the shelf and end up coming down with the plague! But, if I did come down with the plague, would I be stupid enough not to burn it? Of course, this is only speculative. Isn’t this a war on literature? My co-worker Phil (hence the title Phil-osophy) made a point that something like 1.2 billion people on Earth believe in the Hindu religion. So, wouldn’t being punished for exploring their beliefs, to better understand them, be a little harsh? It’s kinda like turning your back and ignoring the others. Or, as Phil put it, basking in ignorance. Some of the

Silver Linings Playbook Review

Being the sexiest man in the world gives you room to be bat-shit crazy Image Courtesy of Flickr.com and edited by the author For years, my mother had been telling me to watch the Silver Linings Playbook with Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence . It would have nothing to do with the fact that people always say I look like him. But, Mom’s interest in my watching it was more-so along the lines that I act just like he does in the movie. My wife, Angela and I watched it together and she totally agrees. I had stuck a picture of Cooper on my dream board a few years back as an ultimate goal of one-day becoming his stunt double. I can definitely take a few hits for minimum wage. Hell, I’ve been doing it my whole life! So, what ‘s the Universe telling me through this movie? To take my medicine, or that I need a wife just as crazy as I am? Who knows . The world is a shit-show right now. Everyone seems to want to point fingers at everyone else. Who’s responsible. And this is not a shot at my

Fidelity Investing Advice for Everyone

Image
Whatever your level of experience with money, it is always good to get back to the brass tacks once in awhile. That’s a reference to the strip that goes down on the concrete, before laying the carpet, for all of you white collar workers out there. No matter if you have a hard time saving or if you already have a decent nest egg, you better take an interest in your money working the hardest and making the most for you. The worst mistake to make with money is letting it sit idle and unemployed. While there is something to be said about the safety in keeping a certain sum tucked away, in a safe or in the form of bullion, I don’t want to get lost in that argument. With that, take two percent post-tax and hide it. Let’s move on. I am in no way a representative for Fidelity but I have become an advocate. I’ve found Fidelity to offer the most comprehensive structure for growing finances available. I can say that because I have tried nearly every platform out there. Etrade, Robi
