Coffee and a Smoke

-

 Yesterday I wrote about the collapse, of sorts, of the banking industry.  Then yesterday afternoon there was some coffee left over from the morning and I was drinking some coffee and smoking my pipe with my Cherry tobacco.  Then it occurred to me I could write about a 150 care pile-up on a Michigan freeway because of a freak snowstorm.  Or I could wite about it being alligator mating season here in Florida, but we have too much to worry about as it is.  So as I was drinking some coffee and smoking my Cherry tobacco, I asked myself as to what I could write about today.

I label myself as a misanthrope.  For those of you who might not know what that is, it's a person who doesn't like people.  But the fact is, I'm not really, because there are times I actually like people.  But I like to be alone, like I was yesterday afternoon drinking my coffee and smoking my pipe--alone.  Those who know me will say I am nothing like a crotchety old guy.  I just hide my true feelings.  My wife says I can't even do that.

So, I think of myself as being something I'm not, but I do like being alone a lot.  My wife says if she didn't encourage me to go out, I would just spend time by myself.  She's right.  I wouldn't know anything about anyone if not for her.  I just keep to myself.  But I'd make a lousy misanthrope and I will be the first to admit it.  But maybe I'm a secret misanthrope like no one knowing Clark Kent is really superman, except for the rest of us who REALLY know.

But I enjoy a good cup of coffee with a pipe.  I have snuck a little Rum in my coffee from time to time thinking no one knows I have done this, but everyone does.  I've only done that a couple times and everyone knows when I do.  There was no Rum in my coffee yesterday.  I will sit by the pool as I did yesterday, and smoke my pipe and once in a great while I backside thinking a pool party with a bunch of people would be nice.  Then I come to my senses, or sober up, as the case may be.  A misanthrope would never think such thoughts.  Actually, I make a lousy misanthrope, but don't tell the other misanthropes; they wouldn't accept me.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

Kind Of

 I’m kind of anti-social, but in my thinking it’s for good reason.  I’m pretty shy about my Angels.  They define who I am.  I seek to protect them as much as I can.  I’m willing to share my space, but only with a few.  Other than this I’m quiet about my Angels and it’s why I prefer solitude over many.  They say opposites attract and in my case this is very true.   I’m attracted to outgoing people.  In this regard my wife and I are opposites.  I can force myself to be an extrovert, but this is not my nature.  I prefer a quiet life of mostly solitude.  In this day of the Internet people are either outgoing or they will be alone.  I am happiest with a mind that doesn’t think too much.  But stress can give me overload.   I need diversions from life to keep my mind from overthinking.  This has been a problem for me for most of my life—even from a very young age.  Too many people and too much input causes my ...

About Good Vs. Evil

-
 My Angels told me Satan wanted to create and God wouldn’t let him, when I asked them if there were physical unions in heaven.  But here on earth creating is good.  God allows us to create all we want, within limits.  But in doing so we do the will of God knowing He is the Giver  of all life.  My Angels didn’t tell me this, but it is my thinking that we have to recognize God is the Giver of ALL life.  This is why every human life is sacred and why only God can take a human life. This is why God will overlook any sin but the taking of Human Life.  This is my theology from my Angels and why it is so important that we control both our hatred and our anger.  This is why there is the taking of human life.  Satan knows this too and why there is evil in this world.  Without righteousness humanity wouldn’t exist. This is why I believe God won’t let the world be destroyed.  There will always be wars and rumors of war, which is why livin...

Pipes and Other Things

-
 If anything happened to my pipes or my new cabinet or anything else I might own, they are only things.  I can live without things.  I don't drink enough alcohol to be an alcoholic, for example, so no, I don't need alcohol.  I'm writing this today as a reminder as to why I smoke a pipe.  I smoke a pipe for meditative purposes and for relaxation.  There are  no other reasons why I smoke a pipe.  I am not addicted to my pipes or the tobacco I put in them.   It is a known fact  that cigarette smokers smoke cigarettes because they are addicted to them.  I watch a lot of YouTube videos and one video I watched was about tobacco commercials from the late fifties through the sixties.  Those commercials sold cigarettes as pleasure and enjoyment with no mention of nicotine in any of the two hour video of ads.  The emphasis was on what cigarettes could do for you.  A lot of research and planning went into the filters of cig...
