Clinton Said It; Obama Said It; Is Trump Doing It?

NOT TAKING SIDES ... just sayin' We sit on the cusp of global war all the time ... we don't actually know how we would react OR how we want our leaders to react should a foreign nation attack ... What happens if a nation (large enough to do this) has been secretly plotting for years to invade us, like forever since WWII, biding their time ... waiting, waiting, waiting or even a sector of a nation an ultra wrong wing group ... with people already in place in-country sponsoring others over the years to also enter ... I personally want a government that is anticipating this. Call me paranoid but I want a government ready for every contingency. I don't feel one bit bad for wanting my government to arm us to the teeth ... SECRETLY. I want a government with flies on EVERY wall across the globe. Nukes in space? I will draw that line ... I'd love to see ALL nukes go away but kids that ain't happenin' and if you think it is? Go back to sleep, you're dreamin'.

On the other hand, just cause I gotta closet fulla guns don't mean I gotta blab it all over the neighborhood ... ya' see? But we have had people creeping over our borders for ages and ages and ages ... we need it to stop ... we don't need families being ripped apart ... I MEAN SERIOUSLY who in the f*ck do we think we are taking children from their mothers at the border? UAC my ass ... if you take the kids "into care" you oughta take their Mamas ... PERIOD. Deal with Daddy. I dunno the answer but I know the answer is NOT ignoring border security and immigration. I mean y'all really think we can stay strong as a nation if this keeps up? We need immigration but we need to be able to control immigration and do so humanely ... showing the world there is a right way to do it but a strong way. 

 

 

BEFORE I DIE ... Got the T-shirt and Google

BEFORE I DIE -- I should make this a series ... I'll bet I have a lot to say about a lot of things before I die and I am sure I'll keep finding things I want to do, say, be ... that is just human.

All in all, I have lived a pretty good life. Not the best. But oh SO not the worst. Never been rich LOL BUT never been poor (y'all do know what poor is, right? broke as you are, you ain't been there kids), suffered great losses but never lost my entire family, a child ... to me that is unimaginable ... my mind just cannot go there, I've seen a lot more than most and not as much as some and certainly enough that I am content with my memories. 

I've done just about every darned thing I ever truly wanted to "try at least once.  2/3 of my life my mantra was "I'll try anything once, twice if I like it" ... and that was like from birth LOL and I did peddle to the metal, balls to the wall, wide open if I had the vaguest notion "that might be fun" I was in ... danger didn't matter, hurting others was negotiable and it wasn't illegal unless you got caught.  From my first sip of Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill to Patron shots at a very "dusty" party in the 80s, running drugs from south FL, to use your x-rated imaginations. I do not exaggerate when I say that in my life I have left no stone unturned in my pursuit of fun and sin and summa y'alls Mamas and Daddys can attest to that. 

I've done rocks no mountains, rivers no waterfalls, sailing no yachts, jumped off of and out of enough stationary and moving objects to satisfy my limited curiosity, driven a Lamborghini Diablo death defyingly fast at Road Atlanta (now that was HOT), learned to crochet, quilt, scrapbook, paint, throw pottery, weave a blanket, take and print beautiful photos (the old fashioned way), play tennis, backgammon, chess, a mean hand at poker and Operation.  

I have saved a life and had mine saved (more than a few times) and still wondering why ... I have lost everything more than a few times and come back stronger each time. I've loved and lost and loved again ... and again... and again ... a really lot Robert well two Roberts, Rick, Eddie, Gary, Mark, well y'all get the picture ... LOL. I'm tellin' y'all it's been a great ride!!!

I've now conquered more fears than I live with and I have returned home to my King, my Father my only true ally Jesus. the one person who has ALWAYS HAD MY BACK (even more so than my Mama) ... so for general purposes, I'm good. It's all good. BUT (always that but) with my advancing health condition there are a few concomitant items on my bucket list LOL. One is Google.  I ran across this image of one of Google's data centers.

I think I'd like to tour Google LOL ... and not with a tour guide, with someone who will answer questions LOL ... have you ever wondered how "in the hell do they do that"??? How do they get all that information, from wherever it's hiding and where does it reside in the interim? or does it ... does Google just magically grab it from somewhere and how in the hell do you search BILLIONS of pieces of data in nanoseconds ... I MEAN SERIOUSLY I'm not kidding here ... Furthermore, how does all that information get from some unknown place to me much less my f*ckin' phone??? And how do we sort the wheat from the chaff?  That's just insane to me. 

I kinda get it if I login to a specific place ... kinda ... no hell no I don't get it at all ... LOL. So Google if you're snooping you are on my bucket list LOL. Now that I am closer to death than not it's occurring to me how much I DO NOT know as opposed to how much I know ... somebody's surely said that before LOL ...
