The few, the proud ...
***************************************
Why is it that almost any man in uniform looks so GOOD? I mean, I'm almost willing to overlook the crust in his eye, the yellow of his teeth, the peek-a-boo from his nose, almost anything, if he dons a uniform.
Now, let me qualify my thought. You CANNOT wear a state-issued correctional facility's uniform if you are a RESIDENT of said facility, but if you're an employee, this also applies to you.
Anyway, I don't have a type per se, but I do notice a man in uniform, from CHP/LAPD to FedEx/UPS. What can I say? I'm human.
Also, tall ppl bug me sometimes. Just because you don't notice I'm standing right there, doesn't mean I don't exist. When you finally notice me, do me a favour & don't make the glance downward to see me more of a lengthier trip than need be. Poo poo Magoo on you!
Remember Magoo? Ahhh, I'm nostalgic now.
Why can't I meet someone like Mr. Rogers? He seemed to be a humble man who was a pastor, but didn't preach, but rather ... taught. I know he taught me quite a few things & I still think the virtual visit to see how crayons were made is a highlight of my youth. Plus, adults speak at kids rather than to them [I'm guilty of this m'self at times], but not Mr. Rogers. He always tried to ask for my opinion & as I scrambled for an answer, he seemed to read my mind!
I wanna live in the land of make-believe. DAMN! That man had such talent & I didn't realise it 'til I was much older, 'cuz even tho' I thought I recognised the voices of various characters on the show, it wasn't until later that I discovered most of the voices were Mr. Rogers, or one of the 4 or 5 cast members. True acting ability, without trying. That man & the rest of the cast deserved more recognition.
How did I begin typing about Mr. Rogers? In everyday convo, my topics are quite tangential, but alas, I suppose my mind goes where no man or woman dares to go.
I decided to blog at least 1x a week, because really, I can find THAT much time. So, I will consider this a major work in progress & will see how it goes.
Btw - In September, a wonderful novel full of rich characters & adventures will be released. I'll post more info. once I get a link & such.
Off the Cuff
I spend my life
thinkin' off the cuff.
No more stuff
do I want in my mind.
At odds with one & 2,
why do people do what they do?
Why do they say what they don't do,
rather than meaning?
Have some meaning
learn from weaning.
Why take a message,
if you don't want to be the messenger?
My brain oozes out of my ears,
because sometimes off the cuff
ain't enuff.
