 I asked the silver one on one

tell me who I am

lines on your finger says

you wouldn't understand

I asked the silver one on one

tell me what's the score

lies on your picture says

you wouldn't need much more

in the meadow

I asked oblivion just for fun
tell me what to say
climb up the mountain boy
and look the other way
I asked a million questions
of the world I want to be
and the signs I remember
who's the one they got to me
in the meadow,
looking for life in the world
everything's fine
in the meadow

ceiling's so high
life might be listening
so we better take our time
we asked a wonder one on one
please tell me what to be
call down the miracles
and save yourself for me
we asked a river one on one
please tell me what you see
I see forever
and it looks like you and me
in the meadow

looking for life in the world
everything's fine
in the meadow
ceiling's so high
life might be listening
so we better take our time
in the meadow
looking for life in the world
in the meadow
everything's fine
in the meadow

Ceiling’s so high
life might be listening
so we better take our time
in the meadow
in the meadow
looking for life
in the meadow
feeling so fine
in the meadow
seeming so high
life might be listening
life might be listening
so we better take our time
in the meadow

The Holiday season is now upon us and I want to share a little tid-bit that placed a smile on everyone’s face that heard this story….

 

My dad is in his late 50’s and he’s a pretty big guy and to look at him right away you feel intimidated. His hair was once a nice dark brown but over the years it has turned snow white and with his groomed full beard now the same color when you look at him he reminds you of no other than the famous Santa Clause.

 

He has been a long haul trucker since as far back as I can remember…and still is. Yesterday while having dinner in a restaurant out of state on a run with another driver buddy of his he got the sweetest gift I think anyone could get…a note written by a little girl named Sarah on a napkin.

 

As the parent’s of the little girl went to leave the restaurant the little girl dropped off the napkin at my dad’s table and walked away. Smiles were exchanged and my dad’s was soon replaced by a look of confusion.

 

He picked up the napkin and on it written in pen was a message that read…

 

‘Dear Santa,

 

I have been an amazingly good girl this whole year; please don’t forget my cell phone this year.’

 

 

He smiled and turned it over and continued to read…

 

‘P.S. It was funny seeing you in normal clothing, I bet Mrs. Clause is home washing your Santa suit. Merry Christmas.’

 

Sarah

 

She drew a little Christmas tree on it by her name to end the message on a napkin.

 

My dad shared this with his buddy and of course the waitresses had to read it and my dad said that was the first time he had seen so many smiles and even a few tears in a single place at one time in a very long time.

 

Indeed a child does know how to make a person smile…and spread the joy. He was so ticked by this he called home told my mom, called me…and I could hear the happiness in his voice from this scribbled message on a napkin. It couldn’t have come at a better time as my dad’s fighting a rare disease and its been kicking his ass as of late so…to this little girl Sarah…I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the happiness you gave to all that this message has touched and I hope Santa brings you your cell phone because you are an amazing little girl and I hope you know it.

Chuck Taylor All Stars, or Converse All Stars, also referred to as “Chuck Taylors”, “Converses”, “All Stars”, “Chucks” or “Cons”, are cnvas and rubber shoes produced by Converse. They were first produced in 1917 as the “All Star,” Converse’s attempt to capture the basketballshoe market. Chuck Taylor, a basketball player and shoe salesman for Converse, improved the shoe’s design and became the product’s spokesperson in the 1920s.

 

Converse Rubber Shoe Company was started by Marquis Mills Converse in 1908 in Malden, Massachusetts. In 1917, the company designed a shoe called the All Star. The shoe was composed of a rubber sole and canvas upper and was designed to be an elite shoe for the professional basketball league. In 1921, a basketball player by the name of Charles “Chuck” Taylor joined a basketball team sponsored by the Converse Company called The Converse All Stars. Taylor held basketball clinics in high schools all over the county and while teaching the fundamentals of the game, he sold the All Star shoes.

 

 

As a salesman and athlete for the company, Taylor also made improvements to the shoe he loved. His ideas for the shoe were designed to provide enhanced flexibility and support and also incorporated a patch to protect the ankle. All Stars were soon worn by a variety of professional basketball players and became the envy of all aspiring basketball players. Soon after, All Stars were being worn by athletes in the Olympics and during World War II, American soldiers began to wear All Stars while in training. In the 1960s Converse began to expand their company and open more factories and by that time, Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars were being worn by 90 percent of professional and college basketball players. As the years went on, the shoe gained more popularity and became a favorite for numerous groups and subcultures.

 

 

In 1923, after Chuck Taylor made improvements to the shoe, Converse decided to incorporate his name onto the ankle patch that displayed the Converse All Star logo. Then, in the 1930s Taylor’s signature was put into the design, which is how the shoe became known as the “Chuck Taylor” All Star. When first created, the Converse All Star had three main styles - a monochromatic shoe with a black canvas upper and black rubber soles, an all white shoe with blue and red trim, and an all black leather and rubber shoe. It wasn’t until after World War II when Converse decided to make the toe guard, laces and outer wraps white, which gave the appearance of the iconic black and white Converse All Stars of today. In the 1957, Converse came out with the low-cut “Oxford” version on the All Star and soon after started to produce the shoes in multiple colors. Today, Converse makes the Chuck Taylor All Star in a variety of colors, styles, prints and fabrics.

 

In 2003, Nikebought Converse for around $305 million. While Converse dominated the U.S. sneaker market from the 1920s until the 1970s, it began to struggle due to competition and lack of funds. In the years following, Converse filed bankruptcy multiple times and fell into further debt and eventually sold to Nike. Chuck Taylor All Stars as well as Converse’s other shoes began to be manufactured in foreign countries like China, Vietnam and Indonesia. Longtime Converse fans were against the change and some even stopped wearing the shoes. Nike’s manufacturing took place in Asia and many people took a stand against the sweatshopsmanufacturing of the shoes. Many also feared that Nike would change the look and status of All Stars and over-commercialize the shoes. A group named Adbusters started selling a knock-off shoe called the Black Spot, which covered up the logos of Converse with a black spot. Nike has not changed the look or advertisement of Converse since the buy in 2003 but controversy over Nike’s ties to Converse still exist.

 

Throughout the years, Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars made a shift from athletic sportswear to casual footwear. Originally an elite basketball shoe, the Chuck Taylor All Star evolved into the shoe of choice for many subcultures. The shoes were popular among many groups throughout the decades including greasers, athletes, punks, grunge rockers, alternative rockers, surfers, rappers and skaters.Today, Chuck Taylor All Stars are worn by countless people from all cultures and styles and the shoe continues to be an iconic style marker.

Purple haze all in my brain
lately things just don’t seem the same
acting funny and I don’t know why
Excuse me while I kiss the sky

 

Purple haze all around…
don’t know if I’m going up or down
Am I happy or in misery?
Whatever it is that girl put a spell on me

Purple haze all in my eyes
Don’t know if it’s day or night
You’ve got me blowin’, blowin’ my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time

 

Help me; help me
I don’t know
can’t go on like this

 

Blow my mind…

A fascinator is a headpiece, a style of  millinery. The word originally referred to a fine, lacy head covering akin to a shawland made from wool or lace, but mostly feathers. The term had fallen almost into disuse by the 1970s.

In the early 21st century, the term has made a comeback, but the meaning has slightly changed; it is now used to describe a delicate, vivacious head decoration worn mostly by women. A fascinator may be worn instead of a hat on occasions where hats were traditionally worn—such as weddings—or as an evening accessory, when it may be called a cocktail hat. It is generally worn with fairly formal attire. Fascinators have become popular internationally.

A substantial fascinator is a fascinator of some size or bulk. They have been mentioned in the press, due to Queen Elizabeth pronouncing new standards of dress required for entry to Royal Ascot.

 

Bigger than a barrette, modern fascinators are commonly made with feathers, flowers or beads. They attach to the hair by a comb, headband, or clip. The fun, fanciful ornament is often embellished with crystals, beads, or loops of ribbon, and attaches via a comb or headband; some have a small, stiff, flat base that can be secured with bobby pins.

They are particularly popular at premium horse-racing events, such as the  Grand national, Kentucky Derby and the Melbourne Cup. Brides may choose to wear them as an alternative to a bridal veil or hat, particularly if their gowns are non-traditional.

There is unrest in the forest,
There is trouble with the trees,
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their please.

The trouble with the maples,
(And they’re quite convinced they’re right)
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light.
But the oaks can’t help their feelings
If they like the way they’re made.
And they wonder why the maples
Can’t be happy in their shade.

There is trouble in the forest,
And the creatures all have fled,
As the maples scream “Oppression!”
And the oaks just shake their heads

So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights.
“The oaks are just too greedy;
We will make them give us light.”
Now there’s no more oak oppression,
For they passed a noble law,
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

Though true black roses don’t exist, blooms that are the darkest red can look black. Giving someone black roses would mean the death of a relationship or idea. Black roses symbolize death and sorrow and are often used at funerals. Thou the meaning of black roses can be misunderstood.

 

 

Some, however, suggest that black roses could symbolize rebirth or the beginning of something new.  If these unique dark blooms interest you or would thrill a loved one, consider choosing the mysterious and beautiful Black Magic rose for your next arrangement.

 

 

 What do white roses mean? White roses symbolize innocence, purity, loyalty and sincerity. White roses are also the most popular bridal roses or wedding roses. Giving white roses says that you believe that your intentions are pure and that the recipient is worthy.When white roses are mixed with red ones, it conveys the feeling of love.

 

 

“If I could have a rose for every time I thought of you, the world would be empty of them.”

 

“Why does a rose represent love…..when a rose always dies?”

 

 

“The fragrance of the rose remains on the hand that gives it.”

 

“The rose speaks of love silently, in a language known only to the heart.”

In Flanders Fields

by John McCrae, May 1915

 

 

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

 

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

 

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

 

Veterans Day is a federal holiday honoring military veterans. The holiday occurs on November 11th each year. In 1921, Congress passed legislation honoring veterans every November 11. In 1926, it was changed to Armistice Day and then in 1954, President Eisenhower changed it to Veteran’s Day. The date was chosen to commemorate World War I, which ended on November 11, 1918.

 

purpose of Veterans Day and Memorial Day are often confused. Memorial Day is for honoring military personnel who died in service to their country. Veterans Day is for thanking ALL men and women who have served honorably in the military during times of war and peace.

 

There are currently about 25 million living Veterans. Over 48 million Americans have served in the military during war and peace since 1776. Every year, about 80,000 veterans are buried in one of the cemeteries of the

More than 260,000 people are buried at Arlington Cemetery. Veterans from all the nation’s wars are buried in the cemetery, from the American Revolution through the Persian Gulf War and Somalia. Pre-Civil War dead were reentered after 1900.

 

The Virtual Wall- All 58,196 names engraved with honor on the Vietnam Memorial. Includes biographic information and audio remembrances on a wonderful Web site. “…Never forget the names, the names, the names - for they hold the answer.”

Let us stand up! Let us remember the fallen! Let us always be thankful for those who gave all so we could live how we want! Let us thank God and our military!
