Only you can stop the zombie bee apocalypse
"Zombie bees" sound like the premise of a bad B-movie (couldn't resist) — but they're real. Biologists have observed honeybees in California and South Dakota displaying "zombie-like" behavior:
From Then Until Today
"From Then Until Today"
I wonder,
Do you smile?
When you think back,
Upon our yesterdays?
There's so much I wonder of,
In so many ways.
Do you think me childish,
In holding this grudge?
From which,
I refuse to budge.
Do you think me needlessly bitter,
In my opinion of you?
In my conclusion,
That you,
Were never true?
Did you make a mistake?
Were you somehow wrong?
Such a heartless coward.
You never were strong.
Stand up to your convictions.
Stand up to your word.
Unless they all were lies,
The words I heard.
So should you ever smile,
From some memory,
Of our yesterday.
Smile knowing it was lies.
From then until today.
You've no cause to smile.
Memories built on your lies.
If you question that,
Count the tears from my eyes.
And had I truly known,
This heart of you.
Well you just smile and know…
That I shouldn't have wasted,
A single day,
Of my life on you.

It Was Never Mine
"It Was Never Mine"
I feel that I have done
What is right
But I find myself wondering
Tonight
I have let you take your path
Let you have your view
Not stood in the way
Of you being you
I took the higher ground
When you chose him over me
And again I face
The mistake of me
But is it a mistake
Me being I
Or the time I chose
To cry
Am I wrong
In my slight
Am I false
In this fight
And who are you
To say the wrong or right
Who are you
Am I wrong
Or right
It isn't mine to say
What matters past today
It was never mine
Anyway

Don't go to Stacks on 23rd St, in Independence where Clem's used to be.
Stacks is a recently opened
restaurant is on 23rd street where Clem’s used to be. I would ask you not to give them your business either.
Recently a restaurant opened in Independence, Mo. on 23rd St. where Clem's used to be the new place is called Stacks. My sister went up there with a friend and the
manager and she had a confrontation and he actually dropped the C bomb on her
several times… Here is my sisters post
and several peoples responses. This is
not a Jack Stack BBQ.
Please don't eat a Stacks on 23rd St. I went there tonight
and while I waited for about 10 minutes for my food the owner yelled at his
employees telling them what pieces of crap they are and they couldn't do their
jobs. So when he gave me my food I told him "You are really a PRICK
yelling at your employees so the customers can hear you" he didn't hear me
and I had to repeat it. Then he called me a F-ing B-tch C-nt and that I
couldn't tell him how to treat his employees unless I wanted to pay them. He
then told me he was going to come out and smack me. I said come on. He called
me the FBC about 4 more times.
Marilyn Salazar The sweet part of this story is, my brother
Danny Gunter went down there to confront him and told him he better not call his
sister the C word. Love you Brother.

When I went up there he said "she doesn't need to be up
here telling me to run my business" and I said "but you realize the C
word is a very serious word that you don't just throw around", there was a
lot more said then his wife (I assume) saw my camera and said "he's
recording all of this, were done for the evening." and she closed the
window so we couldn't talk anymore. (But my dumb ass didn't record shit cuz I
didn't actually start recording... DAMN IT!)

A Fracture In Reality
"A Fracture In Reality"
A fracture in reality,
Light poured through.
Suddenly I could see,
I didn't know what to do.
I expected it to look different,
Not so strange a place.
Even though I looked upon,
A once familiar face.
Strange surroundings,
Unusual terrain.
I wondered if my wonderings,
Were all in vain.
Confused by hope,
Frightened of dreams.
A fragile world unraveled,
At the seams.

Jim Henson Company And Chick-Fil-A: 'Muppets' Makers Sever Ties With Anti-Gay Fast Food Chain
I was fortunate enough to enjoy these wonderful creations in my youth and now as a middle-aged man I can now also think of them as heroes.
Last Friday, the company behind beloved shows such as "Fraggle Rock," "Labyrinth," and "The Muppets," severed ties with Chick-Fil-A due to the fast food chain's CEO's opposition to same sex marriage.

Wolf Star
“Wolf Star”
Brought together,
By stellar drift.
An unnamed constellation,
Gravity yields its gifts.
A Wolf Star drifting distance,
Both to and from the stars.
A nebulous drift,
Follows from afar.
Were they once so close?
As gravity will push and pull.
Was it really close?
In the dark we often play the fool.
Both of time,
Times past and times present.
Laced with timeless memories,
We adore, fear and regret.
Is it a pending collision?
In the present or the past?
The dark distance,
Seems so vast.
Should the Wolf Star slow?
Would the nebula slow or advance?
Stars and nebula’s they move and drift.
Sometimes gravity allows the chance.
The Wolf Star moves along.
The nebula towed by gravity.
When the nebula fills the Wolf Star,
Only then will we see.

12 Killed, 50 Injured in Dark Knight Rises Movie Screening Shooting
This is beyond awful. My thoughts are with all those affected by this utterly senseless act...
A masked gunman killed 12 people at a midnight showing of the new Batman movie in a suburb of Denver early on Friday, sparking pandemonium when he hurled a gas canister into the auditorium and opened fire on moviegoers. [click for the full article]

In this dark and vacant world
I let myself believe in you
I have found in hindsight
That is something we should not do

I let you give me hope
When there was nothing there at all
I let you watch satisfied
As I fall

As I fall
And continue to do
And all because
I believed in you

The lesson is learned
It will not happen again
And to remind myself
I need only think back
To then

Dan Cathy, Chick-Fil-A President, On Anti-Gay Stance: 'Guilty As Charged'
I would ask (even though I really enjoy their food) my friends and family not to eat @ Chic-Fil-A, and then ask your friends and family not to eat there. I mean, I won't throw rocks at you or anything if you eat there, but I will think 'you dirty'.
The article I'm referring to:
Though Chick-fil-A has come under considerable fire for its documented support of anti-gay Christian organizations, officials for the fast food chain have remained mostly tight-lipped about the controversy -- until now.
In a new interview with the Baptist Press, Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy -- the son of company founder S. Truett Cathy -- addresses what the publication calls his franchise's "support of the traditional family."
Cathy's somewhat glib response: "Well, guilty as charged."

Drop the paper - Drop the pen
"Drop the paper - Drop the pen"
Drop the paper.
Drop the pen.
Missing words,
Will never change,
Where I have been.
Some missing words,
Or lack of insight,
Will not explain,
My lack of sleep tonight.
Though I can not put my finger,
On exactly what you did,
And I will never understand,
Why you hid,
What you hid.
I need to,
Drop the paper.
I need to,
Drop the pen.
But the missing words,
Can never change,
Where I have been.

The Land Of The Brave
"The Land Of The Brave"
By dawns early light
All you know
Fades into night
By the rockets red glare
It becomes clear
That nothing was there
Bombs bursting in air
So alone
No one anywhere
In the land of the brave
But there was nothing
Left to save
I so valiantly swore
Until I realized nothing
Evermore
Hopes and dreams naught but haze
Lost to one
In the land of the brave

abuse
abuse
Upon this body
You never left a mark
That would be worthy
Of remark
Is there exception
Or reason why
Some kind of explanation
That I cry
The rending hurt
An endless pain
Wondering thoughts
Of insane
You never rose
You never swung
But for lack of a bruise
Does that excuse
Flinching moments
The unyielding fear
So much lost
To endless tears
Not a single slash
Not a single bruise
Not a shred of evidence
Of abuse

One More Frame
"One More Frame"
He searches for a reason.
A quest for a cause.
An ending to a hopeless search,
Of why my life's on pause.
Pause.
No new pictures.
Only what came before.
One more frame could show,
What I can't take anymore.
One more frame?
What might there be?
But the price is so much more,
Than is left in me.

AUTO CORRECT FUNNIES
I know that
"I know that"
I set so lost.
Try to reconcile,
All the memories,
Impossible to file.
I know that I am broken.
I know that I am gone.
I know that I must recover.
I know that I am strong.
I wonder,
Against the knowing,
Against the visage,
That I am showing.
I wonder.
What is the point,
In moving on?
When you have reached the knowing,
That eventually,
Everything is gone?

~ Turn your Tortillas into Taco Bowls ~
Just turn your muffin pan upside down, spray with cooking oil and bake tortillas for 10 minutes at 375F or 180C.
If You Could Picture Me
"If You Could Picture Me"
I suppose when you become so tired,
When it becomes irritating to blink.
When the answers elude the questions.
When it becomes tiring to think.
When the hope is encumbering,
And dreams become a chore.
I suppose the answers are clear.
You just don't care anymore.
When tears become irrigation,
To imaginings that will never be.
I suppose that is what you would see,
If you could picture me.

Silly Little Dreamer - 2007
"Silly Little Dreamer"
The pieces fall together,
Like a rising tide.
A paradox unimaginable,
Events collide.
Moments linked together,
Believed by fate.
But now you know,
It must have been hate.
How could someone tell you?
Lead you to believe?
Then leave you breathless,
Lifeless,
No dreams to retrieve?
Each of us predators.
Nothing less.
Nothing more.
None of it matters.
What came before.
Silly little dreamer,
Where did you live?
They take and they take,
Till there's nothing left to give.
Silly little dreamer.
Where do you live?
You give,
And you give,
Till there's nothing,
Left to live.

If you are 30, or older, you might think this is hilarious!
{A PIC TO REMIND US OF THE ENDLESS ASTEROIDS}
If you are 30, or older, you might think this is hilarious!
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill.... Barefoot... BOTH ways...yadda, yadda, yadda
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
But now that I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it!
1) I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!!
2) There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!
3) Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe!
4) There were no MP3's or Napsters or iTunes! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself!
5) Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished, and then the tape would come undone rendering it useless. Cause, hey, that's how we rolled, Baby! Dig?
6) We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it!
7) There weren't any freakin' cell phones either. If you left the house, you just didn't make a damn call or receive one. You actually had to be out of touch with your "friends". OH MY GOSH !!! Think of the horror... not being in touch with someone 24/7!!! And then there's TEXTING. Yeah, right. Please! You kids have no idea how annoying you are.
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your parents, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, the collection agent.... you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
9) We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'... Your screen guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen.. Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!
10) You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!! Oh, no, what's the world coming to?!?!
11) There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards!
12) And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove! Imagine that!
13) And our parents told us to stay outside and play... all day long. Oh, no, no electronics to soothe and comfort. And if you came back inside... you were doing chores!
And car seats - oh, please! Mom threw you in the back seat and you hung on. If you were lucky, you got the "safety arm" across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the first place!
See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980 or any time before!
Regards, The Over 30 Crowd
