Pokemon Go AWAY!!!

So, this Pokemon Go sensation, phenomenon is the first I've seen of it's kind, unless you compare it some sort of giant Easter egg hunt that happens every night now. I'm all for getting out of the house, but I've been out of the house now for years, literally! Now, I have to worry about running into one of these people, again, literally. 

I overheard one guy last night saying, "Well, it gets you out of the house, and the best part is you make new friends!" I can assure you, I AM NOT one of your new friends. The next time you run into me, or cross my path and make me wait for you to find your imaginary critters, remember we ARE NOT friends.

One particular group was sitting on some steps waiting for the next virtual projection. I was soaking wet from the day and the fact that the sprinklers had just turned on soaking me even further. Needless to say, I wasn't in a very good mood after that rude awakening. 

So, as I walked passed this particular group of zombies, I asked, "What are you guys doing? I mean for real, what are you doing?" One of them said, "Go on Man!" 

I said, "Go On? Go On? How 'bout Pokemon Go On, as in GO AWAY! Why don't you join the choir, or something. Heck, just sing a song instead, or start a band if you want to get out more and make new friends." It was at that moment one guy started singing, "Sing a Song" by Earth, Wind, and Fire. I began to laugh, and pointed to him and said to the group, "See... there's a guy that understands what I'm saying!" His buddy next
to him gave him knucks, and I'm sharing this with you, KNUCKLEADS!!!

Films, Motion Pictures & MOVIES!

Immediately, by my use of the term "movies", you know I am not a Film Snob.  I also did not grow up in the era before "movies".  Even as I write this, Blogger is questioning my use of the term by underlining it with a red squiggly line, but that's what I call them, movies!  So, sue me if you don't like it. People used to only see celebrities in still shots printed in magazines before the age of television.  Then, they would go see them at the "movie theater", after hearing about it on the radio.  Nobody ever called them Film Theatres, did they?  The word "film" is really a description of the medium by which we are enabled to view "movies" rather than it being a description of the experience of watching still pictures transformed into motion.  So, I'm sticking with "movies", but I am not opposed to calling them motion pictures.  For the "purists" out there that insist on using the word "film...

STEM STEAM

Over the last ten years, I've met and gotten to know several students at UGA. Some of you have become parents since I met you in your earliest adulthood. Some of you will become parents. As such, and whichever the case may be, you might want to follow this educational development as the years progress. Arts & Sciences, to me, represent an historically neglected symbiotic relationship. In fact, much time has been spent trying to separate the two, as we also do with politic s and religion. Our nation was founded on such a symbiotic relationship, and while one side aims to separate the two, the other side wants to force feed one to the other. The key is in balance, whether it is between Arts & Sciences, or Politics & Religion... one thing our earliest leaders were about was tolerance to those of varying opinions (predominantly Christian, but not necessarily) and who come not to cause physical harm from their differences. Some these days argue it is harmful to offen...

It says, I don't cause trouble, but I will correct it. If it is within my power, I will correct a troubled situation, as I did last night while enjoying some semi-solitude, at one of my favorite spots while doing this puzzle pictured. After all, they don't call them frat "boys" for nuthin'. Aptly put, they are boys, not men that tend to grow older, but often times, their behaviour remains boyish, which can be admirable, if you're not a childish, obnoxious, asshole. Of course, living in this college town of my Alma Mater, the University of Georgia, I have been able to recognize certain behaviors before they are exhibited. Different from being prejudice, it is more of an educated guess that something may occur that is less than desirable for the peace loving people of the world, like myself, but I am not a Peace Junkie believing firmly in an Army motto a soldier wore printed on his t- shirt one day several years ago, while I was, of course, sitting at the bar ...
