Is This the End?

-

 There has been a lot of attention given to the Middle East in recent days.  I won't get into the politics of it, nor am I taking sides.  But instead I am saying these things must be.  But why?  I can understand why the world is on edge about the Middle East.  I don't know if it helps anyone for me to say I'm not worried about it.  After all, what does MY opinion really matter?  I just might be crazy, but hear me out anyway.

Crazy people might not be crazy unless they seek to do harm.  If I'm crazy, at least I'm harmless.  My own Spirituality won't allow me to do harm, even though I have crazy thoughts.  Some of the most Spiritual people are the homeless who walk around talking to themselves.  But I digress.  Let me get to the point.  Don't worry about it.  Okay?  Now the first thing you might ask me is why you shouldn't worry about the Middle East?  

Because it must be this way.  I could get into deep waters in my own Spiritual thinking, and I won't go there.  The world is being set up for Divine Intervention.  How do I know this?  They said this about WW II and then the Six Day War in 1967.   How is THIS war different?  Because I believe it is.  Others are saying it too.  They guess.  I'm saying it's different this time.  The world is ready for Divine Intervention.  Say I'm crazy.

Maybe.  But if you want to stress about something over which you have no control stress away.  I can't prevent you from stressing about it if this makes you feel any better.  I'm just saying I won't stress about it.  I follow the news closely and I can get stressed by most anything.  I had a heart attack and simply refuse to have another one.  It's why in part I smoke a pipe.  I refuse to get stressed by the world, so I live in my own Ivory Tower, because I can.  

I know how to live in Ivory Towers and live in my own palaces.  I know how to do this.  My own Spirituality says to not worry about these things.  Divine Intervention is coming soon.  And if I'm wrong?  I've smoked my pipe, relaxed, and waited with everyone else.  But at least the things of this world won't bother me because I believe.  This belief relaxes me about anything I see, read, or hear.  Call me a crazy old man or stress.  The choice is yours.  My choice is made.  Stress coukd kill me.  

So could a pipe kill me.  But at least I'm happy with my pipe and you can be happy in your stresses, if that helps.  You can worry all you want.  I don't care.  But I can say what's coming.  Why?  Because I'm a crazy old man.  But I have my way of dealing with it all.  I'll smoke my pipe as I am writing this morning and refuse to let this world get me down.  You can be as I am or simply stress as you wish.  Today it is a no-name Cadian style pioe I don't smoke all that much with some Tropical Export as I sit by the pool at my son's house and relax.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
