SUNDAY WISDOM

Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.

RANDOM CHRISTMAS QUOTES

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. ~Norman Vincent Peale


Christmas is a time when you get homesick - even when you're home. ~Carol Nelson


He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree. ~Roy L. Smith


Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind. ~Mary Ellen Chase


I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. ~Charles Dickens

SHAKESPEARE, YES SHAKESPEARE!!

JUST IMAGINE FOR A MOMENT THAT THE MOBILE PHONE HAD BEEN INVENTED SOME TIME AGO.


WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS IF THEY HAD BEEN WRITTEN AS TEXTS AND LIMITED TO 160 CHARACTERS?

HOW DO YOU THINK THIS WOULD HAVE TURNED OUT?

1. From fairest creatures we desire increase,
2. That thereby beauty's rose might never die,
3. But as the riper should by time decease,
4. His tender heir might bear his memory:
5. But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,
6. Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,
7. Making a famine where abundance lies,
8. Thy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel:
9. Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament,
10. And only herald to the gaudy spring,
11. Within thine own bud buriest thy content,
12. And, tender churl, mak'st waste in niggarding:
13. Pity the world, or else this glutton be,
14. To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.

THINK ABOUT IT DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT IT MEANS ORDINARILY?

HOW TO MAKE LOVE

Ingredients :
4 Laughing eyes
4 Well-shaped legs
4 Loving arms
2 Firm milk containers
2 Nuts
1 Fur-lined mixing bowl
1 Firm banana.

Directions:
1. Look into laughing eyes.
2. Spread well-shaped legs with loving arms.
3. Squeeze and massage milk containers very gently.
4 Gently add firm banana to fur-lined mixing bowl, working in and out until well creamed. For best results continue to knead milk containers.
5. As heat rises, plunge banana deep into mixing bowl and cover with nuts, leave to soak (preferably NOT overnight though) 6. Love is complete when banana is soft. If banana does not soften, repeat steps 3-5 or change mixing bowls.

Notes:
1. If you are in an unfamiliar kitchen, wash utensils carefully before and after use.
2. Do not lick mixing bowl after use.
3. If cake rises, leave town.

Hey LOOK what I've been given!!!

Yeah look at what I've been awarded, by AZZITIZZ

This is an extra special award to me because it sums up the way I feel about blogland and all the peeps that have a little peek in at my world. They've given their precious time up to come on my site and whether they comment or not they deserve respect and I treat them with that and consider them to be buddies at worst and great friends and better at best!

Thank you Azzi, it really does mean a lot!

Ok I get to pass it on too which is great, you all deserve it but as in any true democracy some more than others.

(1) AUTUMN STORM - Wonderful site and really good buddy.

(2) CHEEKY FACES - Rants and Raves equally well. Very friendly.

(3) EMMA - Lovely person, do anything for anyone.

(4) JULES - Collaborator Extraordinaire. Most precious buddy!

Please visit all their sites and find out what I mean for yourself.

Seems a suitable time to say that after a couple of weeks of disrupted blogging due to work pressures and affairs of the heart, I will be back and visiting everyone by tomorrow, I have been amazed by the visits I've had from everybody who I haven't actually visited and I want to sincerely thank every one for taking the time and trouble to visit.

Quick plug for my other three sites, never miss an opportunity!!!

There's the One a Day (with Jules) a photoblog site that features just one picture a day from either Jules or myself and you can find that here.

Then my photos are displayed here.

Finally for the slightly seedier side of life and definitely NSFW there's The Gutter Press. Here.

CATCH A FALLING STAR!

So I was looking at some pics from 'my friend', yes the one that inspired Foreigner posted last week and the chat was about sunsets and clouds and trees and a few other 'sloppy' (?) images and I mentioned this song and said it was not my cup of tea, nor was I a fan at all of the 'old crooner ' that sang it.
Oh once again how wrong can one be just look at the words for a start!

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Never let it fade away

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Save it for a rainy day

For love may come and tap you on

the shoulder some starless night

Just in case you feel you want to hold her

You'll have a pocketful of starlight

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Never let it fade away

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Save it for a rainy day

For love may come and tap you on

the shoulder some starless night

Just in case you feel you want to hold her

You'll have a pocketful of starlight

(Pocketful of starlight, hm,hm,hm,hm,hm,hm)

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Never let it fade away

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Save it for a rainy day(Save it for a rainy, save it for a rainy, rainy, rainy, day)

For when your troubles start

multiplyin' and they just might

It's easy to forget them without tryin'

With just a pocketful of starlight

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Never let it fade away

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Save it for a rainy day(Save it for a rainy day)

Save it for a rainy day

Then I found this video, - The Sensational Perry Como sings a special Frank Gallop arrangement of 'Catch A Falling Star' - with hilarious results! On one of Perry's TV Shows from 1958. This video footage is taken from the compilation VHS - 'The Best Of Perry Como Volume One', originally released in 1991....It is superb, press the button before you criticize hey!!

THANKSGIVING>>>>>>>>>

TO ALL MY AMERICAN FRIENDS JUST ONE THING TO SAY. HAVE A GREAT THANKSGIVING. THAT'S ALL!!

NO MORE BLUE TUESDAYS EITHER!

I know I haven't been round very much lately, I've been busy with the Guitar Festival but there is another reason. Doesn't falling in love with someone you've never met take some time hey? Well it does when you spend as long on the phone as we do!!
No it's not an excuse to reveal all, you will of course all be the first to know if anything happens.....after all I've always been open with you haven't I?
Oh just look at this as an excuse to post this video, because I love Foreigner and the words mean absolutely nothing to me or her ok!!!
(So Foreigner fans you were expecting to see these lyrics weren't you? Well let me tell you when one line of that song is true then you will be right!! - Watch this space!)

JUST FOR YOU PRECIOUS!!
