Whatever's On My Mind At The Time...

GUESS WHAT???...MY CORN IN MY GARDEN HAS REACHED THE 12 FEET TALL MARK AND IS STILL GROWING...hurray for me....

• Very funny Scotty, now pleeease beam down my clothes...(I hate it when he does that)...
• We are born, naked, wet, and hungry... THEN, things get worse...
• I don't suffer from insanity, I ENJOY every minute of it...
• It IS as bad as you think...and they ARE out to get you...
• He who laughs last, thinks slowest...
• Horn broken, watch for finger...

  Hey Robert...My special comrade in music loving, break-dancing, awesome bowler nephew, that has amazingly bowled several 300 games!!!!!...YES, he REALLY HAS!!.. Robert, how long has it been since I've given you a dollar???..:) ...

  I have so many talented and gifted nieces and nephews, that I just never get to see enough of... I only hope they all know how proud of them I am... and... well, if you don't know, I'm telling you now...

  I miss Kelly and Summer!! My nieces that live in California...They are priceless and beautiful...

  The smoke alarm is the DINNER BELL in our house.. tis true! I swear, it never fails, about 5 minutes before dinner is ready, the smoke alarm goes off, EVERY TIME, WITH OUT FAIL... Not because I have smoked it up or anything mind you..HA!...When they are hungry and waiting I hear this...WHENS THAT DINNER BELL GONNA GO OFF???? Gotta love it... The problem is, if there is ever a fire and that smoke alarm goes off for reals, they're all gonna think it's time for dinner!!...

  

  You know, one of the BEST pranks to pull is to put a rubber band on the hose nozzle at your kitchen sink...Then, quietly go sit somewhere and wait...You won't have to wait for long because someone ALWAYS wants a drink...and then you hear this...AUGHHHHH, what in the @%#@...It is so exhilarating!..but then, of course there are the paybacks and they are BRUTAL...but thats okay...one minute of WINNING is worth 5 minutes of running like...well, you know...

  When I hear..Prelude No.7 in A Major, As the Deer, and Anything from Phantom of the Opera, played on the piano...it is the sweetest to my ears and heart...Nothing calms me down faster...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...Hey, maybe you guys can get my daughter Em to make you a tape of her playing those for me, so the next time you see me out of control, you can slap me down, and plug it in and watch a MIRACLE happen...

  My Babe Ruth baseball card: Before I knew the value of his face (!), I had the card stapled (yes stapled!) to my bulletin board at work, for good luck. My sales guys would come up to me and say JOHNSON, WHAT IN THE H@## ARE YOU DOING???? My response, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, DON'T TOUCH MY CARD. GO OUT AND SELL OR SOMETHING... They'd just walk away shaking their heads... What else can you do with someone that STAPLES a Babe Ruth card to a bulletin board??!!...

  Even more on Babe. After I found out the value of his face, I had my card out on the table looking at it, trying to figure out a way to make it up to him...When all of a sudden, I was right in the middle of a sibling disturbance. Apparantly, slushies, red ones, were what just happened to be in their hands at the time of their great distress with each other, and before I even knew what was happening, slushie went flying through the air...Poor Babe's nose now has a red glow to it...Poor Babe, he gets no respect...

  I cried the rest of the day over my Babe card...Mangled with staple holes, and splashed with slushie...Don't worry though, it was only a 1982 Big League Chew Bubble Gum card... But, it was still my Babe...Not quite the good luck charm I thought it would be... at least for Babe...

  I love sitting right smack in the middle of my cornfield...I go there to think...What is really great now, is that the corn is at least 12 ft tall, so if they come looking for me and I don't answer....they can't find me...too bad so sad...

  You know, there is nothing that makes me feel more warm inside, than to be around my son's Youth Group family...The kids are so incredibly awesome...they all have such respect for each other and they take care of each other...And boy can they pray!!!!....I love it when my son leads us in prayer...Even though I started it with him...they have taught him how to pray in the most effective and wonderful way...and what is MOST awesome, is that they ALL do it, and they all respect each other for it...There is nothing more precious than our children...Thank you Lord...

  I'll tell you one thing though, the next time I help out at their carwash, I'M BRINGING A SUPER SOAKER!! And pray for me if you would, that the man that brought the old pickup that had been sitting under this HUMONGUOUS dripping tree for AT LEAST 100 years and had a pile of green algae an inch thick, doesn't show up again with his OTHER TRUCK, like he said he would, when its MY SHIFT when we have the next one...~smiling a lot~

  When things are just too much, If I can just hold my babies, or my kitties, it makes everything alright...

  One of my favorite past-times is to buy a pack of Bubble Yum and proceed to chew the whole thing ALL AT ONCE... Just take one piece and chew it, add another, and another,and keep going until you have the WHOLE thing in your mouth, this doesn't work until it is SO HARD to chew and it's drooling down your chin.. and THEN start blowing these HUMONGUOUS bubbles... What's even MORE fun, is to do it while you're on a road trip... HA! Watching the reactions of everyone as you blow these HUMONGUOUS bubbles, and watching them try to keep up with you to see what happens, IS SUCH A HOOT!!! And, of course as you can imagine, I never let them down!!... (yeah I know, I can be such a child...)

  My sister can light up a room by just being there... But... when she smiles... oh my gosh... she shines like the sun and the warmth fills your heart...

  And my brother... the minute he walks into the room, he has me laughing WITH SNORTING, nonstop... I wish I could bottle him up and have it on hand so that every time I needed a pick-me-up I would always be one swig away from a snort...

  Do you have ANY idea what happens to a Drama Queen when she sees her "little man" (who incidently is now 6'2")getting the workout of his life by his Football Coach?? and THEN... she see's him stop everything to smile & wave at her??...

  Or how about this... When my daughter was in the hospital having surgery to remove her gall bladder, her special someone - Tom, and I, were in the waiting room waiting for her to come out of surgery. He had made it a point to come 80 miles to be there by her side. We were talking and I thanked him for being there for my daughter and loving her. His response?... He looked me in the eye and softly said "What's not to love?"... It was at that moment, that I saw how much he loved my daughter...

  Then... I was at Em's, and Tom had brought his guitar. We finally convinced him to play for us. I sat back and got lost in the soft soulful beautiful music he was making, but what got to me even more, was what I saw... Em had her head on his knee while he played, she was looking up at him, he was looking down and her, and it was then that I knew how much they loved each other... and I will never forget that...

  My favorite shared sentiment... Carpe Diem - Sieze the Day... Enjoy life while you can...I will...I do...I am...

  True positive is the energy of my heart, mind, body and soul...it brings me to life, keeps me alive, and drives me with electrifying force... and there can be only one....

  Why is it, that the things you don't want to ever change, are the first things to change, and you find you have no control over it... And the things you do want to change, seem to be the last things to change, and it's because you do have control over it?...

  Hey there John Hogue, The Author... if you are reading this, then that means you DID come up for air again while in the midst of writing Book #10 !! That also means that an internationally known Rogue Scholar/Author, world authority on the works of Nostradamus, neighbor in the Pacific NW, fellow lover of Alanis & White Zinfandel, fellow hater of rejection, comrad in the art of perception and the use of humor to tred through life... took time out and stopped by... which in my opinion, is just way too cool!! Thanks JH and I wish you nothing but great things for your 10th...

STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT, FIRST STAR I SEE TONIGHT, WISH I MAY, WISH I MIGHT, HAVE THE WISH I WISH TONIGHT.... I'VE ALWAYS HAD STARS IN MY EYES, AND THE MOON IN MY HEART... A NICE BIG HARVEST ONE, THAT IS FULL OF WONDERMENT AND LIGHT...
