Janis Joplin...................Summertime

Just paid last month's................

 

.................electric bill.  Yeow.  Apparently the cool-make machine was working on overtime.  Last time the bill was this large was like last July. Hmmm.

Summer vacation.......................

 

Fifty years ago...........................

The Beach Boys..................Endless Summer album

 

Since it appears that......................

............... there are no initiation fees or membership dues, I'm joining the summer of Scruton club.

Still one of the all-time great movies...

In that way, Meatballs is exactly like life, or at least life at a summer camp. There is no script. There is no structured three-act story with a perfect ending. It’s a hot mess of half-remembered snippets, tales that are likely exaggerated, and a whole lot of stupid antics in-between that go nowhere.

But till that morning..............................

Janis Joplin........................................................Summertime

 

Hazy, lazy days............................

Betting on the rocks..........................

“Every deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being misunderstood.” 

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?”

“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” 


-Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Is hardly a waste of time......................

"To lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time."
-John Lubbock
