It is 12:46 in the morning. I woke up and am sort of fuzzy in the head. I like that feeling, the feeling between sleep and awake. This has to be one of the most random blogs in the universe, sometimes I have some very important things to discuss and other times it is utter nonsense. Currently I am getting a lot of traffic over a two year old post regarding NASA. NASA said they were going to have an important announcement which turned out to be nothing, a few days ago they said the same thing and somehow I am drawing traffic to my old post regarding the "new" announcement. Heck, the old one turned out to be nothing.
This is the third iteration of this blog, I have posted somewhere around 3,000 different articles. I don't even remember them all. Only about 1,100 remain as I destroyed the first two versions of this blog. I lost control over the blog a long time ago, it is it's own creature, random thoughts from a random person. LOL. Along the course of this trip I have acquired readers, some who know me and others that came here for whatever reason. Hello Robbie.
My most read post was on Pastor Carol Daniels. I guess some people might assume that post was more than it was. I cannot make that claim, her death touched me and I wrote about it. I didn't know it would touch others. One person left a comment asking me if I was trying to make money or notoriety because of my posts about her, heck, I didn't think anyone other than my loyal readers would ever see it. We don't control who reads our blog, just as random as I am. Her family contacted me a couple of times and I have yet to come to grips with that. I wonder if they kept reading my stuff and think how disappointing it must be for them as I have no more insight into the case. I wish I did.
Now for some randomness and something to remind you why we all matter. You see, a young lady in Austin, Texas, proved how awesome we can be. She makes donuts; but, more importantly she cares about others and is as crafty as they come, a real problem solver. She loves a challenges and rises to them, she tests herself. I promise you will enjoy it.

Now, as I am dreamy, lets post some music. Have a great week.
YouTube - Dr. Hook - Sylvia's Mother. That song is actually from the first record album I ever bought. A song of sadness.
YouTube - Ringo Starr - Back Off Boogaloo. My favorite Beatle and the first 45 I bought was "It Don't Come Easy", his first hit after leaving the Beatles.
YouTube = ROCK AND ROLL HEAVEN RIGHTEOUS BROTHERS MIKE
YouTube - Curtis Mayfield - Diamond in the Back. The Pimpernel hated Disco; but, was into funk. In the 70s a friend of mine asked me if there was funk after death. LOL.
YouTube - Curtis Mayfield - Pusherman Too good to funk up.
I am going to link to a song that I hate. The Commodores had a lot of good tunes and this one I hate. I had to light a dance crew back in the 70s and this was the song they danced to. It is stuck in my head and I never liked it. YouTube - The Commodores-Brick House. It is the dumbest songs I have ever heard. And worst of all, Lionel Richie, someone who actually has talent, sang this. Let us wash the bad taste out of our mouths with something better by him.
YouTube - Commodores - Sail On. One of the best break-up songs ever. Very insightful. Let us not judge him by Brickhouse.
YuoTube - Hello by Lionel Richie
YouTube - The Hollies - The air that I breathe [1974] Original Version [HQ]
The most spiritual song I know is by the Hollies. YouTube - THE HOLLIES - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.
I want my Robbie to contact me and tell me she still likes my choice in music. I don't get enough feedback on this blog. It should be a two way conversation. Tell me I suck, tell me I was pithy. Whatever, more music as I am still sleepy.
YouTube - George Michael - Father Figure
YouTube - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (Live)
YouTube - My divorce meant losing everything. ROFL. The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon
YouTube - George Michael - Freedom! '90
YouTube - Flash and the Pan
YouTube - Animotion - Obsession

I heard Brick House as I sat in my office today. It made me think of you. Probably always will, now. You need correction, though, dear one. Walter "Clyde" Orange sang lead on that one, not songbird Lionel.
The songs you share here, they crack me upside the head sometimes. Sylvia's Mother? I immediately hear the anguished "and the operator said forty cents more..." Sad! I smiled at Boogaloo. Do you think others remember these?
xoxoxo, loved one
Robbie
Dearest Robbie,
What a lovely song you have gifted me and at such a lovely time. I miss my Julia, my heart is ripped and cannot be repaired. I think about her since she died last year and have nothing but regret for not having sent the letter and reached out to her. I did not know she was sick and wanted to respect her and not surprise her.
I will thank you again dear lady for having helped me through a tough time. I am sorry that we cannot be together more. You still need to decide when you want to go to Vegas.
Giant hugs for you, my friend. Things we didn't do an haunt us forever, but things we CAN do have power to heal.
