” If TGIF is Thank God It’s Friday, Then today must be SHIT, Sure Happy It’s Thursday”
Throwback Thursday 2015-11-26
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:
Let the Rantings continue!!!
“Screw you guys, I’m going home!” Eric Cartman
What Ever!
You were smiling
Feeling charming
And quite beguiling
The sun was shining
This was supposed to be
A great day
For a song or a play
But then it turned out to be
Something else completely
It turned out to be
One of *those days*
Struck you in the face
Run over like a ten ton truck
And disappear without a trace
What the fuck?
Feeling like a schmuck
Completely out of luck
Standing in the rain
Without an umbrella
Almost going insane
And not from singing a cappella
So I say “What ever!”
And take my leave

“I’d like to be able to travel anywhere in an instant” Jason Behr
Word Wide Wednesday Presents, Porvoo, Finland, Part Six
The colours
Of the old town
Will turn
An upside frown
Into a huge smile
When staying a while
In the historic city
Of Porvoo…

The colours
Of the old town
Will turn
An upside frown
Into a huge smile
When staying a while
In the historic city
Of Porvoo
Listen to the poll
And take little stroll
Pick up a doll
And do a little dance
Take a chance
On the wide expanse
Of the historic streets
Of Porvoo
Posted in Quote A Week Tuesday & Poetry
“There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship” Thomas Aquinas
Quote A Week Tuesday #3, Part One and Two
Today is time for two of my favourite quotes, and as usual, quite something to relate to:
The old adage “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer” (Sun Tzu) can easily be translated into “With friends like that, who needs enemas” (The Adventures of Ford Fairlane).
In my youth, yes, believe it, I did have one, it was often hard to know whom to trust and I grew a shell around my person, trying to keep disappointments outside. As I have aged, no not grown old, rather wiser (if even possible :P) the protective exterior has somewhat cracked and trusting people a little more has become easier. Not too much mind you, but just enough! That being said, a little mistrust never hurt anyone?
Meanwhile, enjoy my “little lesson in life” in part two:
“Trust dies but mistrust blossoms” Sophocles
Mistrust is such an Ugly Word
My poor little mistrusting thing
Think ,what joy a friend may bring
Together sharing your precious blings
Laughing when playing in the swing
Trust is a difficult thing
You say quicker than the clock could ding
I am afraid of the sting
Even if it means alone I would sing
Your world may not always be on a string
And you may not always be the king
But if you want that bell to ring
Spread out far your wings
And in the chorus you may sing
In honour of Caturday and all cats everywhere

“Time spent with cats is never wasted” Sigmund Freud
Caturday, 2015-11-21
Cats in stripes
Cats all white
Cats that are black
Cats which are gray
Cats in a six pack
Cats who are stray
Take one home
You’re never alone
The time spent
With your cat
Even if a chat
Is never complicated
And never wasted

“We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?” Marianne Williamson
Fabulous Friday or Ode to my Shiny Shoes
My shiny golden shoes
No time for the blues
Singing and dancing
In my shoes of fancy
My lovely golden shoes
Act as some kind of muse
They might be flashy
But I feel quite dashy
I may not be Howard Hughes
And I don’t need any booze
With minimal financing
I am out celebrating
Thank Goodness
For Fabulous Fridays!
