This Leap Year has not been one of the best.  Many predictable things that could have gone wrong have gone wrong.

On the positive, so far, we have avoided nuclear war and total destruction of the Human Race. Yet, the Doomsday Clock is now ticking in seconds, not minutes.

If we must have a Swan Song, and I think we should have one, then I choose the song by Jack Bruce who died soon after singing it.

Are we going wrong?  Well, of course, there is no doubt about it.

And sometimes, when one knows that doomsday is unavoidable, still it is pleasant to listen to those who sing about impending doom, but who knows why.

JACK BRUCE is amazing.

This is his greatest song.

Of course, we KNOW that we are going wrong. And, even if many of us know it, yet we cannot change it, and we will just keep doing the same wrong things.

It’s in our very nature to go wrong if going wrong makes us feel good.

We even romanticize about our going wrong.

Someday soon, as we continue to go wrong, then we will need to pay the piper.

And the cost will be incredibly high.

But please don’t say that Jack Bruce did not sing about it, years ago.  Because, he did.

Who knows if Jack Bruce was making some sort of political statement about the world, or if he was just singing about some trifling fling of his?

All we do know, now, is that we are going wrong.

And, we know that we are going wrong, faster and faster.

And, we know that there will be severe consequences, both for us and for our children.

Well, anyway, I think that Jack Bruce was an amazing singer and that this was his greatest song.  He sang his heart out knowing that this was his last song.  I very much appreciate his effort.

Poor old Jack Bruce....

HE DID SING HIS HEART OUT.

HE DID SING HIS HEART OUT .........    HERE!

GREAT MAN FROM SCOTLAND..........

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME......

He was dying, but he still sang his heart out.....Not so easy to do, maybe.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

Amazing, I think.

His last song.

His last song.

JACK BRUCE!

JACK BRUCE!

I do love JACK BRUCE.

JACK makes me feel good!

Not Yet!

Maybe it is.....SLEEPY TIME?

JACK BRUCE...

An amazing singer from Scotland.

Amazing.

I just think that it's so unfortunate that there are so very few people from Scotland on TV, just because....I wish there were more like JACK BRUCE!

I am thinking about the LOVE you laid on my table...in the kitchen.

You were doing the dishes.

I crept up behind you.

I grabbed your bosoms and we made it on the table in the kitchen,

And the shrimp gumbo went akimbo.

Those were the days....

Almost before most of you guys were born, I was buying OSELTAMIVIR, for gd's sake!!!!

Those were the good old days when Tamiflu was a very new antiviral drug sometime around 2002.

I DID buy a few doses.....

BUT, where are those doses now?

Those doses which I bought, foolishly, are now sleeping with the fishes....someplace.

In my opinion, Jack Bruce is more effective in combating most viruses than are most modern antiviral drugs.

And so, this is why I link this music.

If you want to combat some sort of virus, any virus, then Jack Bruce is the Man.

Just my view...

Poor Jack Bruce....He was born under a bad sign....yet still good!

Your keyboard is the biggest health hazard in your life.  If you don't clean it then you could contract something deadly and might not live long enough to look like a freak.  And you've got a Windows key missing.  

I have 10 keyboards.

Every keyboard of mine has at least three keys missing.

I hate the Alt key.

And I hate the two other keys next to the Alt key.

Windows is disgusting.

Have you ever seen a Unix Keyboard?

The reason I removed the three keys is because I hate inadvertently hitting one of these keys which will remove many hours of work editing, for example.

I LOVE Gates, in his new reincarnation as a humanitarian.

But, years ago, I hated Gates.

==============

By the way.....

These days.... I have great admiration for Bill Gates.

He finally got the light.

More power to him.

Also, Gates has a wonderful sense of humor.

========

=========

NOT JOKING....

Bill Gates has truly become a great man.

He has reinvented himself, just like Madonna.

But, Madonna is not helpful to the world.

This is the principal difference between Bill Gates and Madonna.

What I am clearly intimating is that, in the classical music world, JS Bach is so far above any other composer. No other composer can hold a candle to him. JS Bach is heaven sent, and everybody who knows anything about music knows this.  Even Vivaldi knew this.  Vivaldi felt depressed every time he listened to JS Bach because Vivaldi realized that his music was total craaaaap, compared to that of JS Bach.

And, in the world of the likes of Led Zep, Jeff Beck still is even above any other band.

How do I know this?

1. I look in the mirror

2. I listen to Jeff Beck and realize that he is peerless

Someday, when the dust has settled, then everybody will realize just how great Beck truly is.

I am sure this is true.

Hopefully you do not have over 100 multiple personalities such as this lady has: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/sep/30/kim-noble-woman-with-100-personalities

 

Could get pretty expensive to outfit all of them....just saying 

These days, when I gaze in the mirror, I am convinced that I am Jeff Beck, minus the guitar.

Jeff Beck is my true hero.

I love this guy.

And, now that I am not cutting my hair, each and every day I more resemble him.

Somedays, I stand in front of the mirror and just play Air Guitar.

I find it soothing to my soul.

As I have previously stated:

JS Back is NUMBER ONE

Jeff Bech is NUMBER TWO

I think there are more people with multiple personalities using one user name; we are certainly at least two, although one of us is an Orangutan. an inter-species incorporated transubstantiation resulting from a metaphysical singularity.

 

~o:37;

One of my personalities, in truth, has a different eyeglasses prescription than mine. 

For example, four years ago, my eyeglasses were just fine.  And then, one of my other personalities visited the store and was fitted with a different prescription.  And now, after that, I can't see no more.

Is it really possible that one of my alter egos has different eyesight than I?

If so, then this will explain why my reading glasses are completely USELESS!!!

Really <deleted> off about this, too.

I waited so long, during the lockdown, and now it turns out that four months of effort has been completely wasted.

I don't care about the expense, particularly.

I just want to be able to read clear text.

Last week, Saturday, I ventured out to buy some cheap reading glasses.... Bt.1600.00

But, the right lens is not right.

So now I must return to have this corrected (pun).

But, this is not why I am updating!:

April 20, I decided to not cut my hair.

So far, so good.

I am on my way to having about one foot of hair on my head.

One inch every two months, I think.

So, by the time we get a vaccine, then I should have about one foot on my head.

(I never thought that I would have the opportunity to grow my hair long, again.  But, now is the time.)

My hair looks long but not yet freaky.

Wait another year, and I will look like a freak.

I cannot wait!

Well, at least I'd have free milk for my coffee.

You might even be able to churn it into butter for your toast.

This might have been funny if it wasn't possible for men to lactate, but they can.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_lactation#:~:text=Human male lactation,not occur under normal conditions.&text=Spontaneous production of milk not,occur in males and females.

It might seem funny to you if you were to suddenly begin producing milk, out of the blue.

Do you know that males also can have breast cancer ?

And no it won't need a miracle to have male lactation as it is called . It is rare and under specific conditions , but it can occur .

Male and female are not much different biological wise .

Yet, completely different in some respects.

Sometimes it's too late......

Let's all stop worrying.

Everybody is under too much stress!

I beg you.....

Just......LIE BACK.......and......UNWIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND.....

Just experience the moment.

Instead of thinking what's to come.

Live in the moment.

Live while the night is young!

But when I do remember the hopes I used to have
My face lights up and I crack a little smile
When I reach the end of my workin' life
I'll sit and say 'I wonder was it all worthwhile?'

In my opinion, nipples on men look good.

So.... Nipples on men are just for decoration.....Right?

Recently, a student asked me if men's nipples can produce milk.

This is a question that I was unable to answer.

One can never say never.  Maybe, someday, my nipples will produce milk, and then this will be a true miracle.

So, I am wondering, for example, are there any real men in the Farang Pub who are able to produce milk?

The other question might be:

If we are unable to produce milk, then why would nature give us two nipples?

Maybe you might think that sex differentiation happens AFTER nipples are formed, for example.

But, this is just a guess.

Anyway, if my nipples could produce milk, then I could milk this for all it's worth, and I would never need to work again.

-----

Sometimes, my nipples get sensitive for no reason at all.

What about yours?

I just hope the good Lord knows....

What this life is all about...

'Cause I'm in the same position...

As when I started out!

Ain't got time for doubts or fears
Ain't got time for shallow tears
Ain't got time to bare my soul
Because I still got a hard way to go

BUT, I got time for plenty of hot showers...

Showers are almost free of charge.

Love them!

Makes me feel relaxed and human, almost.
