The Life and Times of Jim |
Hi, there. I'm Jim. Welcome to my phlog! This site was written for Las Vegas, then LouisVille. Now, it seems to be about anywhere. In these phlogs, you'll see a lot of my personal notes and pictures. I like to post my observations here to remember life and celebrate it. I'm not religious. I don't pray for good fortune. I'm ecstatically grateful for the gift of life and I think our time should be remembered and not taken for granted. I'm not a writer. I think pictures tell stories so much better than words. I love just about everything in this life, and, I guess that would have to include you. So, if you've seen me, don't be surprised if your picture is in here somewhere. Of all the critters, people are absolutely the most interesting. |

Doomsday predictions are so cool. The Mayans supposedly predicted a doomsday event will be occuring on 12/21/2012. Catchy, isn't it. It kind of has a ring to it. While this may be true, a lot of people thought dooms day was going to be 01/01/2000. And then again, a lot of people thought Nostradamus predicted the Chinese would start WWIII in the 1980's.We didn't see much happen, but that doesn't mean something terrible isn't going to happen. Of course, some natural event is going to wipe out most life forms on this planet. Of course it is. You've seen dinosaur bones in museums and fossils in your own back yard. Even the rocks in your driveway appear to be melted by something. Ever notice that most animals on this planet have the same organs? We're all either survivors, or as I'd like to think of it, children of the last "Doomsday". Like they say, life for billions of years has always found a way. As a whole, it is smarter than we will ever be. I doubt our brains are capable of handling the "truth". The end-of-the-world as far as you are concerned is much more predictable, and will probably come much sooner. Every 80 years or so, all life on our planet is recycled. If only we could remember where we came from. All fear of death would go completely away, and the "end-of-the-world" would seem more like a spring shower. At least, thats the way I like to think of it. I like to think we have and will go on forever, |

Dorothy said "There's no place like home", but I'd bet if she thought about it She would have realized There's no place like OZ! -Jimism Its Christmas,
and it was a beautiful day here in Wexford, Pennsylvania. We could have been depressed, being thousands of miles away from our loved ones, but this holiday hasn't worked out like that at all. Its was a unique Christmas. We ate some left overs from last nights BBQ, and went to Walgreen's a to buy one of those cheap massagers. We got a few text messages. We IMed a little. We even did a web cam. We didn't open any gifts.
I want everyone to know, that was what we expected. These contracts have given us experiences that we would never have gotten if we spent Christmas in Las Vegas. Life has provided the greatest gifts of all. We've seen this United States, from San Diego to Seattle, from the Florida Keys, to Washington DC. We've traveled the country collecting memories that some may never acquire. This could have been my 30th Christmas in Las Vegas. But this wasn't just another Christmas. This was an exceptional Christmas. Our memories are what we'll store in the top of our closet this year and I'll share them with you on this web site as the years pass by. To all of those at home, We miss and love you very much !!! From Far Far Away - - - - Merry Christmas to All - - - - |

This movie is a real sleeper. Its the bomb... I mean that literally. I liked the last 4 minutes, when the Earth loses all electricity, and it cuts to "The End". Keanna Reeves never got to use any of his talents. I suppose, maybe, why I didn't like it was because it cost $13 a ticket, a small bottle of Coke cost $4.25, the chairs were uncomfortable, and the screen looked smaller than the one in our bedroom. |

Twasn't me that hath dribbled out such trite information. I would rather be smitten, beaten with palm frawns, and yes, even flogged with wet towels whilst showering in cold water. Ahhhh.....To be older. Isn't it GREAT!!! We're down to our last few programs at work. The halls are empty. The cubicals are bare. Our emails are checked, hoping none will be there. This is indeed, the season to be WAH. We're a foot deep in snow on this 21 degree day, and it takes 20 minutes to deice the windshield. Becky's smacking down a Philly Cheese Steak, while deciding to watch "Benji the Hunter" or "Beverly Hills Cop". Me, I'm trying to figure out what to do with my self. I'm getting cabin fever. I just checked out how much it would cost to fly and stay in New York for 5 days and 4 nights, during New Years. Believe-it-or-not, it would cost $1,700 for two people. The hotel is across from Madison Square Gardens. hmmm. |
