One of Those Things

-

 I’m too old to sit around and worry about what people think.  It’s just one of those things.  I got of social media for a long time and decided to try it on FB again.  But I learned from last time.  As my wife says, just keep it simple and decided to let my blogs speak to those who want to read them.  Some people make social media a platform, but I’ve decided what I have is of limited interest.  If others want to friend me on my new account fine, but if I cared about hits I might be concerned.  But I write mostly for my wife and family, otherwise I’m not sure I care.

I’m just too old to care.  I let my Spirit Guides worry about numbers.  My task is to just keep my brain thinking so I just don’t atrophy.  Keeping my brain active is enough for me.  I interact mentally in what I read without the need to feel like I comment on everything.  I have a very simple philosophy about religious things and believe all that matters is Human Life.  I can’t make it any simpler than this.  

If I wanted to do theology, which I have, I could make it very complicated.  But a simple theology is best if it could be understood by a five year old.  I’m an old hippie believing still in Peace and Love, which might be quite old fashioned in today’s complex world.  I could say if I don’t find Peace and Love then just move on.  But when I find it I want to keep it.  

Yeah, so I am an old hippie.  The first time around I made a lot of mistakes and decided to make my points here in this blog and move on.  Once in a great while I’ll argue with my wife but not too often.  I’ve learned life is too short for arguments.  I say what I feel needs to be said and move on.  So, this is my thinking this morning as I smoke my Angel pipe with some Balkan tobacco.  My coffee this morning is Stone Street coffee.  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...
