DIANE ARBUS KNEW HER STUFF...

Child with Toy Hand Grenade (NYC) 1962

Almost forty years before the World Trade Center Tragedy in New York. She predicted (in her art) where America was headed. Nobody listened...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR. ROY!!

All my love and respect,

PATTI SMITH WOULD BE A BETTER U.S. PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP OR HILLARY

Listen to the powerful words. Pay attention to the honest images. Certainly puts Trump and Hillary to shame big time. When will we ever learn?

VOW OF SILENCE ENDED: WHAT'S UP WITH FACEBOOK?

I don't get the popularity of Facebook or Twitter. It's all links (no original poetry or writing), and the same thing is going on with the aftermath of the 2016 election. Ten words or less, and we're supposed to believe the intelligence and sincerity of people that don't want (or care) to invest the time in composing a meaningful post?

How much easier to click on a link that makes little or no sense? This is sad. Does anybody do any actual research anymore? Oh, and the whole "Friends" issue: I seem to recall reading a Facebook post about a a fortysomething depressed woman that stated she was going to kill herself.

Guess what, people. Even though she had hundreds of  Facebook "Friends" - she was encouraged to take her own life. Which she ultimately did.

Jesus Christ on a cracker:  I think I'll stay at Blogger. At least I'll be able to stay alive. At least I hope so.

I'M TAKING A VOW OF SILENCE TODAY

BLUE DAYS

I am alone now
And the sky is without clouds:
We are very blue
