Tunes Tuesday – Bon Jovi – Livin’ On A Prayer

This song tells a story of a couple who are going through tough times. I think the central message of living on a prayer is what many experience as daily life. Prayer and persistence through trials can make the difference. Bon Jovi released this in 1986 and he sounds as good today as he did back then.

Breakfast At Olive Bean

We tried a new breakfast spot this morning. Olive Bean has a good menu of scratch made food featuring breakfast and lunch options. They have a gift shop too and soda fountain. It’s nice going to a different place to expand your horizons.

YABAR – Yet Another Blog About Reblogging

OK, perhaps I am just overreacting and making a mountain out of a mole hill about this reblogging thing.

Here are a couple of ground rules for my followers…

  1. DO NOT reblog personal posts that include family and other personal pictures.
  2. Ask for permission if there is something original I have written that sounds academic or poetic or something that could be used to advance my life and career.
  3. Other posts are OK including my music posts and other posts about current events, culture, etc.

Maybe that will eliminate unnecessary drama and angst on my part. I really wanna play well with others and perhaps have some of my stuff get the eyeballs and ears of others across the blogosphere.

Wayback Wednesday – Tears For Fears – Shout

Some days call for a song that can speak to the frustrations of life. Sometimes you just need to shout. This is from Tears for Fears 1985 album Songs from the Big Chair. 

If you need to shout good people then just shout.

Dark Chocolate and Bubble Gum

Some days you are dark chocolate, other days bubble gum. Then there are days when you are in a licorice sort of mood. After all that you might end up at the dentist. Candy can reflect the state of mind you are in at any given time. Hopefully we are all sweet instead of sour unless sour candy is what you are in to.
