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. |

The only people that say "it's how you play the game that counts", are losers. Unless I missed something, the scoreboards are full of scores, not ratings or opinion polls. If you play by the rules, you either win or lose. If you don't play by the rules, you are cheating. So, If you stink at golf, don't play Arnold Palmer to win. If you play for the fun of it, play Arnold Palmer and waste his time. |

I like Forest Gumps answer, that he thought life is a little of both. Then again, I like Skip's answer, that he didn't give a f. Whether on not we chose to thinks so, we pick our paths in life. |

Just woke up from a dream of me laying down, not sleeping. A car alarm was triggered outside, and I realized I was in a pool of sweat. Why does the temperature in this apartment vary so much? |
01/29/2006 09:38:18 Jim I love you Becky | Sun |||||||||||||||||||
We're taking off in maybe around 18 hours. Wow...I'm all jittery! I hope this will be a great adventure. Too much snow could ruin it. |
01/29/2006 09:16:21 Jim Hi Renee | Sun |||||||||||||||||||
Great to see your alive and kicking! Did you know calling our cell phones is a local call to you and its free to us too? Remember 20 ducks? lol We've been either feeding our neighbors (the alligators) or getting bit by ants, or poisoned by poison ivy. We haven't been saying much on this blog because nobody ever seems to go here anymore. Becky and I are getting ready to visit some friends in Forrest Mississippi. They want to market this site. I really like Mississippi for some reason, but we'll be going through Alabama and Louisiana on the way. It should be fun! |

Very mild compared to other mega resorts, but it had its strong points. Future World seemed outdated, but International World was very nice. At the parks closing, they gave a spectacular fireworks display. A 20 foot earth with a TV screen around it floated in the lake. It showed people singing on it, then it opened up. It was awesome!!! |

5.5" x 11" door knob fliers cost 4c each, in lots of 20,000 = $800. Advertising door-to-door, its possible to hang 330 per hour per person. 660 for 2 people. 20,000 would take 60 hours to hang...or 30 hours for 2 people to hang. |
01/23/2006 04:35:43 Jim Sitting up, late this night. | Mon |||||||||||||||||||
Thinking about coming back to Vegas. Thinking about all of the favors I've done there. One good deed every day can add up to the thousands after years go by. I'm saddened that I'm not worth a free phone call during the holidays. Some think this planet might be another planets hell. This planet is simple and beautiful. People make it hell for each other. John Lennon couldn't spread the truth with his song (Imagine). People just keep blowing each other up, stealing, politicing land away from others. If only people could see, the harm they do others hurts themselves. We only think we are individuals. We can't see that we are components of a single life force. |
