“By Thursday morning, we’d gotten over the worst of it” William Scranton
Throwback Thursday 2015-12-03
Today is time for a walk down memory lane again and dig into the archives of Rantings Of A Third Kind since the beginning of time. Well at least from the beginning of this blog 😛
Here are a few featured today:
Put Me in a Box, Why don’t You
Let the Rantings continue!!!
“Life is not simple, and people can’t be boxed into being either heroes or villains” Jessica Hagedorn
Put Me in a Box, Why don’t You
I may no be the hero type
Or match your idea of a villain
You think I am a complete zero hype
Because I caused you a chilling
Just because in your grand plan
I did not win the grand slam
Stuff me in the smallest locker
It isn’t such a shocker
It’s not the obstacle, it’s a mild hindrance
I will seek and find the entrance
Just because
I can never be part of the conventional stock
Always and forever thinking outside the box
“Enjoy life sip by sip, not gulp by gulp” The Minister of Leaves, The Republic of Tea
Tea, Earl Grey, Hot
Slow down
Listen
To the world
Around
Forget
That strife
Just Enjoy
Without a ploy
The simple pleasures,
Purest treasures
Of life
A cup of tea,
Plain and simple
Easy as
Your A, B, C
Soon you’ll see
A dimple
On your cheek
Will sneak
Breathe in
Breathe out
Relinquish
All doubt
Nothing to it
You can do it
Relax a while
It is no guile
Soon enough
The moment
That should have
Forever lasted
Has passed
You are back
On track
Remembering,
Hoping
The moments
Between now
And running out
To the
wide open
Would last
Longer than
A token
“An Apple a day keeps the PC away” Gun Roswell
Ode to My Mac(intosh)
You let out a hum
As I turn you on
I am Flushing
As I am pushing
Your on switch
You light up
Without amok
It’s electric
Almost magnetic
I feel the itch
I am ecstatic
Cannot wait
As you bait
To touch all
Your buttons
Like a glutton
I will call
For you to deliver
As I wait and shiver
Reaching every height
Through your interface
The globe
To integrate
Guess it was love
At first byte

Poetry & Photography
“Man, I really love Vegas” Elvis Presley
“Elvis has left the Konebuilding”
Jingle bells a-rocking
Elvis comes a-knocking
Gold lamé suit
Dancing to no ones’ flute
A real cool dude
Definitely no prude
Rocking around
The Christmas tree
To a cool sound
And and impish glee
Twist and shout
No time to pout
The jingle bells
Put their spells
Now the rest of us
Mere mortals of dust
Jamming with the king
And wholehearted sing
But oh how time flies
Now it is time to say
Our fondest good byes
Flying back to the skies
“Ladies and Gents,
Elvis, has left the (Kone)building”
Posted in A Quote a Week Tuesday
& In honour of the month of December
If it’s December 1941 in Casablanca, what time is it in New York?” Howard E. Koch
Quote a Week Tuesday, 2015-12-01
This week’s Tuesday quote seemed appropriate for the occasion. After all, today is December first, and just yesterday, it was summer, oh what a bummer?
Time flies when you are having fun?
Or is it just another pun?
Hoping to see the sun
Even though it’s December one
“How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before its afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness how the time has flown. How did it get so late so soon?”
Dr. Seuss
Photography and Poetry
And, yet another homage to Coffee ;P
“I can’t imagine a day without coffee. I can’t imagine!” Howard Schultz
Monday with(out) Coffee
What is a Monday
But a slow day of Sunday
Without coffee
It’s just a faded copy
It’s just what you seek
So, don’t hesitate
Go ahead, start the week
With a fresh, clean slate
Make your way
To the coffee maker
For a while stay
After all,
You deserved a break
“Come to the dark side, we have coffee”
Not without my Coffee
I freely admit it
I am addicted
To the finest organic suspension
One of the greatest inventions
Coffee
If gets me up in the morning
So read this forewarning
To save yourself from scorning
Do not get between me and my
Coffee
If you want your day
To be inventive and stay
On top of the world
Life delightfully twirled
Coffee
Take my advice
Don’t think twice
Pour yourself a cup of java
It beats the hell out of guava
Coffee
Your fellow human kind
Never looked so fine
The world filled with love
If everyone joined in a cup of
Coffee
“Coffee – the finest organic suspension ever devised. It’s got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it”Captain Kathryn Janeway
The Four Options Of Coffee
1) Good
2) OK
3) Drinkable
4) Yak
How to recognize bad coffee:
1) Looks like tea, doesn’t taste like tea and certainly not like any coffee you’ve ever tasted!
2) Sticky gooey stuff sticks on your tongue: Looks like tar, tastes like tar!
3) Your face twitches in a funny way: Not funny good, but funny bad.
4) Coffee with milk: Except when it’s ice coffee, with lots of coffee, a little ice and hardly any milk.
You know it’s an excellent cup when the coffee is:
1) Black.
2) The spoon melts in it before you manage to stir.
3) You have a burned after taste in your mouth for several hours after your last cup of the day.
4) It’s ten o’clock in the evening and you are still drinking it.
Note: Why you would actually stop drinking coffee at any hour is beyond me!
The Daily Post Photo Challenge: Transition
For this week’s challenge, share an image that depicts transition. Let life itself be your muse.
Part Two: Autumn Foliage
“Summer ends, and Autumn comes, and he who would have it otherwise would have high tide always and a full moon every night” Hal Borland
Autumn Foliage
The colours are of plenty
The wind cooling gently
Nature filled with changes
Much like the turning of pages
