This could be...
-- Bush, sailing off into the sunset, even though he doesn't know how to sail, still as befuddled and ignorant as when he arrived.
-- Barack Obama sailing into unchartered waters.
-- John McCain, lost, refusing to admit he’s lost, angry because he’s lost, cursing the ocean and his boat because they made him lost, angry and old.

I’m sitting up in our field looking at the view, pretty darned relaxed, when a hawk comes screaming in and strikes ten feet to my left, SCARING THE CRAP OUT OF ME! I can’t describe how fast it happened, how noisy the strike was, or how astonished I was to have this big hawk on the ground, right next to me, with a hardened glare in its eyes and a writhing vole in its clutches. Sweet Jesus! It then lifted off, allowing me to exhale, regain my senses, and begin to process this fantastic event.

If there were no pets in the world, all we’d have is each other. Ew, I would hate that. I mean, sure, humans are ok, but companion animals are a grace. Live without them? No thanks.

There was not much more to Petey than a smile and a rakish cap, so he overcompensated by giving people gifts in order to buy their love and admiration. Here he is meeting someone for a coffee.

It’s morning, you open your eyes, and this is what you wake up to.
To many men, this is still a dream.

I don’t know if this guy’s Are-you-kidding-me?! look is due to the salad, the salad dressing, using the wrong fork, the fact that nobody looks good in orange, or the Munster-like super out of date football helmet hairstyle.

Because I know what's best for moi, I’ve tried to do what I want all my life. I'm able to do this because I trust my own counsel, believe my own thoughts and embody those beliefs in my actions. So when someone doesn’t like what I’ve done, but I do, their dislike doesn’t denigrate the fact that I’ve done what I wanted to do, and have therefore pleased myself. All you have to do is please yourself. Really. I’m serious.

I’ve been thinking lately of a childhood friend. We keep in touch every now and then, and it’s always good to see him, but I haven’t for a while. Anyway, he’s been on my mind, so when I go and check the site stats this morning and see by his IP that he logged on last night, I’m not surprised. For me it’s just an illustration of the mental connections that we humans are naturally capable of, but treat as if they don’t exist. To those who would say it’s just coincidence, I say, Haw! I say, wake up. There’s more going on than you could possibly imagine.

She would be the belle of the ball!

Of course, her parents disapproved. That awful boy with the mask!

He was a deep sea diver named Dan. Here seen leaving the boat to pick up his date.

This story has such a tragic ending... Dan never made it to the ball. I know! Seems he was caught in a once in a lifetime über riptide, carried out to sea and eaten by Balkan Circle sharks. I know! Of course the Circle shark theory is still being tested while they look for pieces of Dan and such, but it seems, in the end, this magnificent story of triumph and hope becomes just another tragic tale. So sad. The end.

But it’s not the end! At the funeral, coming forth to cry over Dan’s empty casket was...his wife! That’s right, diver Dan was already married!
Her name was Glenda and she was a machinist at Thomson Bros. Lathe and Machine, shown here at work moments before she was told her husband was dating a young belle and had just been washed out to sea on his way to pick her up and probably eaten by Balkan Circle sharks. But that’s not the half of it! Without even turning off her machine, Glenda shot back that she knew all about the tarty little ingénue because Dan had asked Glenda herself to wear a white dress and get all dolled up for the ball, but Glenda had just laughed and said between sips of her beer, “Yeah, right." She did express a little interest in the shark thing. Then she went back to her mill. So I guess this is now the real end of this truly sensational story. Wow.

Two team invites in the same week! My my, puff puff. I got asked to play on a competitive men’s softball team for this Spring, and then a few days later got asked to play rec hockey this Winter with a team in a nearby town. In the same week! Girls envy me, all the boys are jealous.

We here at Keith Ryan Publishing have always tried to make you a better you, even if you couldn’t care less about being better or even knew that it was possible to change. We do this because a better you is better for the collective world, and since we are all connected, a better you is really a better me. See? So, how do you get better? You become more aware. You wake up. I’m serious.
November 17, 2008
How do you wake up? You examine your current life, you become aware of what you believe to be true, and then notice that these same truths are evident in your current life. These are your thoughts, your actions, your reasons for having done what you’ve done in your life (and will do for the rest of your life). Accept responsibility for having made it so. Think about what you’re doing. Think about what you’re making. That’s how you wake up.

To Larry, a D average engineering student, it seemed like a good idea at the time – a crazy jump over a concrete post – see how happy he is! But as was mentioned, Larry wasn’t a great student, and in using incorrect spatial calculations it turned out that his uppermost apogee, the exact moment where he lost speed, lost upward trajectory, gravity reasserted itself and he fell back to earth smack dab on the post he tried to jump, was the moment this picture was taken. Future pics showed Larry in the hospital for trauma, Larry’s girlfriend leaving him, Larry flunking out of school, and Larry working at the burger joint.

Todd vowed to get his $14,000,000 bonus out of the Wall Street bailout even if he had to kick the bum of every person who said he couldn't have it.
