People say I’m lazy dreaming my life away,
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me,
When I tell that I’m doing Fine watching shadows on the wall,
Don’t you miss the big time boy you’re no longer on the ball?
I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go….
Such an arresting photo.
34 years later and America`s insane, obsessed gun culture is still succeeding in justifying itself. A culture made worse probably, by the proliferation, and exponential increase in their size, capacity, power, lethality. And made even worse by paranoid, fear-based, money driven politics, shouting and noise.
Imagine, indeed.

Hammer D…over and out. Shine on.
Heard a story today. A young Lennon was in class, and the teacher asked the students what they wanted to be when they grew up.
Eventually, the teacher got around to John.
Teacher: John , what do you want to be when you grow up?
John: I want to be happy.
Teacher: I don’t think you understand the assignment.
John: I don’t think you understand life.
Every time I’m in Calgary & drive by SAIT I remember that night and listening to the news in my car radio after I left my class.
Phone rings and I know it’s a buddy of mine wondering if I’ve heard the news. I had. We were all in the living room turning channels for any report.
