granite park bench

i sat on the bench and looked down and there was this image. i could barely see it. most people don't see it. God is not hard to see. open your eyes to Him. look for Him. seek Him out...do this and you will have joy, peace and serenity.

GET REAL!

Taken at the Borders store in Center City Philly.

My emotion;

Anger & Laughter

The line won't be long...guaranteed.

Consumer Report

I love books and CD's.
I have been an Amazon.com user since it's inception when they used to send you a free gift just for taking a chance and ordering from them.
For a few years I drifted away....stopped reading as much and enjoyed the Barnes/Borders experiences which as an aside, I believe that Borders has a much better music selection then Barnes and Tower have ever had. So lately I have been buying books and music again and having the luxury of the internet able to price shop.

Let me tell you....I have the 25.00 annual B & N card and Amazon SMOKES B & N prices every single time.

Just ordered:
1 Citizen Cope Every Waking Moment
2 Kira Salak The Cruelest Journey
Amazon.com 28.00
Barnesandnoble.com 35.00
Borders.com 37.00

I went with amazon.com

motivation

so, what motivates you?
i am told time and time again that it's money
i don't believe it

my backyard

they are two different spiders

they live in my backyard

they are not friendly with me

they make their webs new everyday

the one spider has lived in the same spot for five years
unless, of course, this is a child of the original

i like them both

the ride home

this is what my ride home looked like the other day from the big city. the window of the train was smitten with the grime of the city. the city was cast with the shadows of the clouds and yet the thoughts of the gazer were of pleasant things.
Homeless people I know:
Yolanda- usually outside of the Rite Aid with a sign. Very nice. Sometimes is reading a bible.
Carl- Plays guitar for the transit folk for which I am greatful. He plays some great blues; Neil Young and Dylan. I am fairly sure he is an addict.
Rob- Rob is truly, truly homeless. We once bought a coat rack from him for 10 bucks. He is the most present of the three.
Willie- Willie pretends to be homeless but is really a serious alcoholic. I once ran into him in the bank making a deposit I don't give him contributions anymore.
One eyed-Jack- I think his real name is John. He's very cool.
They all live in the city viewed from the window. I sit and type at my desk in my house, they are uncomfortable with themselves...how do I tell them about Jesus?

Concert Tickets

So I have always wanted to see Paul Simon....I think he is an amazing songwriter. Me & Julio, Kodachrome, 50 Ways, Homeward Bound and the list literally goes on and on. I am picky about who/where/when I see artists perform. I like intimate settings for most performances. Paul has a new album out...I haven't heard it but I have read the reviews...top shelf like most of his stuff...I knew he would tour....ugh...over the summer, the Borgota (Atlantic City casino). Very $$$$ and the last place I want to see any artist. Then I see the announcement this AM....The Tower Theatre....the date he's performing is clear. I have a race to do ALL day during the sale.....I need a friend and fast.
