I Am A Ding A Ling

Every year i go banging,
on these blasted bells,
sometimes i wonder,
if I'm in a Chinese hell;
what, with all the ringing
that stays in my ears,
i wonder if i won't hear
it down through the years!

And yet, i think of the children,
the homeless that i've helped,
and i can't help feeling
a little proud of myself.
I think of the presents
kids never would have had,
and the tears i've seen streaming
from a mom or a dad.

Maybe it's a little silly,
but, i've made my choice.
I will serve the Salvation Army,
work hard, and rejoice.
And when i'm cold and tired,
i'll remember just one thing,
The fruits of my labors
make me glad I am a ding a ling!

posting

Was meandering through the blogsphere and i noticed that many blogs are not being updated terribly often. Same goes for my one wordpress i started over 3 years ago.

But i wonder, if you have the blog, and the ability to monetize it AND build friendships, wtf would you NOT do so?!

I mean, heck, i could sit here and twiddle my b(shirt!) all i want, but if i'm not Creating something or at least learning something, why did i do anything at all?

You know what would be totally f(*ding) cool? A mobile/intelligent phone friendly blog that people actually have fun reading!

hmmm, i better do some research, huh?

Ode to a food drop

Left over vegetables,
meat, close to date;
day old bread,
dressings, second rate.
Some rotten fruit,
some beat up sweets,
this is your idea
of feeding people on the street?

Maybe if your charities,
actually were getting funds,
instead of ANOTHER golf course
or a million gadget cellphones:
Maybe, if you just tried,
to keep the jobs here, see?
Maybe I'd believe your church,
or take your faith seriously.

As for me? I'll be silent,
remain in my firesides.
I'll seek my justice with God
and to keep my own tides.
I'll look for the best in man,
the noble, the Godly too.
I'll pay attention to hope,
and continue to ignore you.

Celebration

this is it                                                            freedom
an Epiphany                                                     from
a celebration                                                    tyranny
a beginning                                                      done
a winning                                                         frowning
chance at                                                        sinning
all of that                                                         responsibility
joy we can be                                                 acceptance.
this is the way the world begins, world begins,
this is the way the world begins....
With a choice, a smile, and hard work!

Ode to a chicken sandwhich! written 11-17-10 at noon

Oh sweet chicken breast,
oven roasted, by my own hand!
Delicate, light, delicious;
fairest boob in the land!
On kaiser roll, toasted,
bereft of fat, or salt,
with spicy brown mustard,
and romaine as the default!
Definitely exquisite,
in your simplicity!
Oh how you make lunch,
simple for the kids and me!

Random Moment

Phartknockers!

Just kidding.

Actually, considering i was contemplating the value of Allen Ginsbergs works, no, i wasn't!
:)

New poem! Irrational Fun!

Irrational Fun!

If common sense were common,
or so i'd like to say,
people might actually be happy,
and chase the blues away.
If people paid attention,
perhaps they would find,
sometimes it's FUN to be uncertain,
or go plainly out of your mind!

FINALLY

Still can't get my bloody youtubes to show up on this carn-forsaken thingamabob! But at least the corhole thing is finally posting to facebook!
I WILL get my adsense and amazon fixed, by pickle! And i will get this doggone thing to get my twitter feed, so help me hannah barbara!

Bargains! Yum!

There is an awesome store near me,
with dented and overruns.
It's great to buy groceries,
when you're budgets overdone!
Bargains, oh Bargains,
Greenvilles hidden gem!
You saved my pride, and hide,
I vow to shop again and again!

Some days, the kids are...

Some days, i'm as happy as a clam being a dad, and others?
I feel like it's complete bull (shirt)!

Take today, i couldn't be more pleased that my two youngest are trying to contribute to a winter pagent thing for school...but....
They are so godawful ADD that i can't get them to focus on the forsaken project!

JJ has stuff kinda going...but Airk, oh heavens help me!

I love them dearly, and i want to scream!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
there. I feel better now.

Bonkers, Bugger, and balderdash!

You know, some days i olook at all this SEO stuff, and i just GAG!

I wonder, how much of this is being fed to us and how much actually freekin' works?

The problem, for me that is, comes down to having to monetize my blog to help support my family. I therefore have a "0 Sh(irt)" policy when it comes to SEO people. I'm saying "show me the money!"

What are you doing to help create passive income for your family?

Adsense

Hmmmm....
I thought i had an account, but can't find hide nor hair of it.
I hope they can fix this quickly.

Leave me a post, do YOU have adsense on your blog or website?
How easy do you feel it is?

Lorum Ipsum

You know, sad to say, i have never even Bothered looking up just what that means?

I do know it's Latin.

Do you ever wonder why we bother doing silly things like putting Latin quotes into templates? Why not the scores of a baseball game? Or better yet, a poem!!
