Jesus cared about the poor, the sick, the needy, the downtrodden and the worker. It’s a love thy neighbor sort of thing. I would also think it’s also a matter of happiness too. Any political system that does not emulate that these days is not one worth being a part of.

Live From New York, It’s Saturday Night Live’s 50th Anniversary
Saturday Night Live is a venerable television institution. This long-running sketch comedy and musical series has been on American TV sets via the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) for fifty years. The first episode featured comedian George Carlin, Billy Preston and Janis Ian.
SNL launched the careers of John Belushi, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Jane Curtain, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Adam Sandler, Jason Sudeikis, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, Keenan Thompson, Will Ferrell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Molly Shannon, Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers and many many more. At its core, it is a variety show that satires what is going on in the culture.
It is a show that always makes you laugh at first and then makes you think. Each episode has a host and a musical guest. The music is as important as the skits if you ask me. Tonight, the show will celebrate its anniversary, looking back at all the talented people and crazy stuff they have done all these fifty years. Congratulations, Lorne Michaels and company, for your amazing achievement.
This Is A Good Description Of Me
I am aged, I am white, and I am cheesy as cheddar. Yep, this is me to a T!
I Bought Eggs, I’m A Big Spender
I bought a dozen eggs today. I’m a big spender. Eggs are expensive these days even from Aldi.

The Canadian Flag @ 60 Years
Today is Flag Day in Canada, and this year marks the anniversary of the Canadian Flag that was first flown above Parliament Hill in Ottawa in 1965. To Canadians everywhere and those who are Canadian at heart like me, it’s a special day. May this maple leaf symbol of freedom, strength, and sovereignty fly forever.
Something About My Future Posts
My future posts will be respectful, but more of what’s going on in my head. Some of it will make sense, some of it won’t. Like many of you, I am trying to figure out what’s going on. Know this, my heart and head are wired differently and that’s awesome, I feel. I am not up for debating stuff, all I want to do is blow off some steam when I want to. Thanks for putting up with my rantings. There are more to come.
