Think Free. Be Free. Are We? Celebrating Our Independence.

FYI, my dictionary’s “archaic” definition of INDEPENDENCE: “2. Sufficient income for self-support.”

I love my country, but sadly, we are not all independent by the original definition (as in 1776). We need REAL change – beginning with corrupt politicians and misspent tax dollars.

THINK about your independence today as it was meant to be … CELEBRATE that we live in a country where change is still possible. Cheers and Happy Independence Day to all!

That was my Facebook post this morning … and yes, I believe it, I do think we can change, but … where are the “fine, upstanding citizens” who will implement the overdue changes, AND, are morally true and understand that FREEDOM is not MORE laws – it is more INTELLIGENT and “pure” laws?

We live in a country of idealistic statehood …

Happy 50th Anniversary-The Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie”! BFYP’s Mike Korgan, Producer

Memories, Music & Mike!

It’s International “Louie Louie” Day!* “OK! Let’s give it to ‘em … right now!”

Alright, granted, I’m writing this less than two hours before midnight (beer in hand), but I posted early this morn on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter – what?! You didn’t see it?!

And here, I thought everyone followed Blast from Your Past … Riiiight … like everyone follows your social networks, too. Wow, we are all soooo self-absorbed these days. I’ll follow you, if you’ll follow me. LOL!

Let’s trip down Memory Lane to a simpler kinda life. What a magical musical time, the Sixties.

Need Holiday Dollars? Sell the Clutter in your Closet!

In September we talked about Boomers buying and selling their youth. Let’s take it a step further … what’s in your closet, garage or attic that you can reminisce over for a few minutes … and then let it go?

I ask because I’ve had to do that recently. Let’s face it – times are tough and some of us are looking around our homes with dollar signs layering over the memories. Is it time to de-clutter?

Whether it’s an act of necessity or simply a wish to un-clutter fifty years of stuff, there may come a time when you fondly run your hand over a fave teddy bear or beloved G.I. Joe action figure and say, “We’ve had a good time together – let someone else enjoy you.”

Remember George Carlin’s 1986 shtick about stuff? “That’s the whole meaning of life, trying to find a place to put your stuff.” Do you just have a “pile of stuff with a roof on it”? lol According to George that’s your house, of course.
