All posts by Tony Burgess

Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

The Heat Is Melting

I found this on Facebook where Snoopy has melted due to the heat. It’s not far from the truth. Everyone is melting and little relief is in sight. We are also behind on rainfall which is not good for our plants and crops. The heat is on in many places and we need it to cool down.

The Daily Fight

I am not a violent man but I recognize that life can be full of confrontations and you gotta fight every day for lots of stuff. These fights don’t require fists but winning hearts and minds. It means working hard and fighting for what you need. You gotta fight sometimes for the right to party. Friends no matter what you gotta fight the good fight for freedom and liberty against those who are fascists. Keep your chin up and do what you must to keep life going.

A Little Change-up Can Do Some Good

Change can be good for almost anything. So, I felt like my blog needed a little refreshing and perhaps something familiar at the same time. I have spent time changing my blog theme which I haven’t done in a while. I am using the 2016 WordPress Theme with some custom CSS to make it look like I want it to look which is white/light font on dark backgrounds. It is in keeping with my whole dark mode motif I have everywhere I can. I hope you check it out and your input is appreciated. Keep on blogging good people.

Fireworks Past The Fourth

It’s Sunday, July 7th and fireworks are going off near our neighborhood. The Fourth of July when normally fireworks are supposed to go off was 3 days ago. No fireworks should be going off until New Year’s or perhaps Christmas. Come on people, give it a rest.

Project 2025 Is Pure Evil

This “manifesto” is cruel, and draconian. It certainly will impact lots of people on the fringes. I can’t believe anyone would be willing to support this proposal since it would in effect take America back 75 years or more. It takes a really sick person to want this to be enacted if they are elected. Project 2025 is nothing but evil and those who came up with it are horrible people.

Bed Time

Daily writing prompt
What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

Currently, bedtime is about 11:00 PM or so. I set the alarm for 5:50 AM but snooze until about 6:20 some days. On Saturdays, I normally sleep in and on Sunday we set the alarm for 7:30 to get up for church. It’s a routine that works for us.
