The night before, the night before, the day of...


And we all know what that day is… if I gotta tell you than, YOU DON’T KNOW! TOO BAD! Moving on… How many of the numerous fonts do you use when you write on this techno marvel anyway, a much more important topic, since the other thingy comes yearly and this is something one must decide daily or at least every once in a while, hmm? I think that I have chosen maybe a half a dozen in the over thirty years that I have been using a computer. And you all probably know unless you have the latest and greatest of the word programs you don’t even get any; get you minds out of gutter; I mean, any of the other choices of the newer sleeker models offered, ya know? I just tried to count mine and I got lost after 250, who knew? Must have been in one of my updates…CRAZY! Now if I was a calligrapher, for you kiddies, the art or skill of producing beautiful or artistic handwriting, yep by hand, no computer necessary, and that’s right, you got it new and attractive fonts! Guess that’s another art form that has bit the dust, sadly. Take music, I can recall when there was a time when it was pure tones, no beat box or computerized sound enhancements or magnifications so brutal to the unplugged ears that we rarely know what the ‘stars’ are actually trying to profess. Yes, a time not that long ago, it was just sounds that could be made louder, just by using microphones and we understood every word. There was even a time when acoustic guitars were the norm, and not just on a TV station nicknamed, ‘VHF unplugged’. Yes, children in the olden days we could even understand each and every lyric as if it were poetry, you know the thingy your English teacher tries to explain in her/his class? Oh, I suppose that sounds as if I am old and I am sort of… outdated to most of you youngins… But try the older tunes and fall in love with the words… And than come back and know that what your grandparents enjoyed was not so bad after all…and tell them it is so. A great way to converse over ‘the holidays’, hmm? Another try it, you may like it. Oh and converse is; drop the phone and texting; it is opening up of the hole in your head that sound comes out of and articulating words, forming sentences and communicating, try that, you may like that too! I am growing tired and I am more than sure that you are too, and so I will do what I do best and be the first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear? PS Hopefully no friends were insulted in the writing of this night's blog, since I plead ignorance and illness and whatever else allows me get away with not falling prey to the keeping up with the latest technologies and still hold my head up high! SO THERE! (I just stuck my adult tongue out at any haters, boy me and Bieber have them, hmm?)
