Day of The Prez

"I never did give anybody hell. 

I just told them the truth and they thought it was hell."

<> Harry S. Truman <>

Truman was a boss, ladies and gents.

True story.

A Word From ~ e.e.cummings

i will wade out
                        till my thighs are steeped in burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
                                       Alive
                                                 with closed eyes
to dash against darkness

War is older than Mankind...

...But it's younger than Grace...

Happy Memorial Day...

In this world you will have trouble...

  
The world 

it can be so beautiful...

...but oh how quick it is to punish us 

when we think we know the depths 

of its cruelty...

A Word From ~ Flannery O'Connor

"There is something in us, as storytellers and listeners to stories, that demands the redemptive act, that demands that what falls at least be offered the chance to be restored. The reader of today looks for this motion, and rightly so, but what he has forgotten is the cost of it. His sense of evil is diluted or lacking altogether, and so he has forgotten the price of restoration. When he reads a novel, he wants either his senses tormented or his spirits raised. He wants to be transported, instantly, either to mock damnation or mock innocence."

MLK Day

 "...And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land. 

I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land."

Moving On

The Election is finally over, a reason to celebrate in itself.

May the President take seriously the trust America now puts in him. 

Because America will elect only who it deserves.

God bless America.

Favorite Couples Part III || Walter & Hildy

One of my Top 10 favorite films, His Girl Friday is nothing without 

the dynamic duo that is Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell.

The banter...oh my, the banter...

So many wisecracks, puns, and insinuations zing by whenever they start at 

each other; their dysfunctional relationship is a riot to watch. 

A few stills to illustrate their passionate relationship...^-^

>>>=<<<

Walter Burns: There's been a lamp burning in the window for ya, honey... here.
Hildy Johnson: Oh, I jumped out that window a long time ago.

Passages I ponder...

 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, 
against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
