Time flies...

On this day in the year 2000...

... by this time...

... mom had already been taken to emergency for the last time.

I just realized that, looking at the clock.

Awakening or death...

Milestone....

... and I missed it...

Well, that was supposed to be all she wrote... I kind of had a thought in mind that I would end this blog on the day when no one stopped by to visit, whether it be a visit by choice or completely at random. That day happened yesterday, December 5, 2014. After 1,735 days of this blog being in existence, with 55,000 or so views during that time frame, there were zero (0) pageviews yesterday, according to the internal Blogger stats. This has never happened before. Interestingly enough, according to Sitemeter, there were no views on December 4th or 5th, not even me. However, StatCounter indicates there were four visits on December 4th and three visits on December 5th, all showing up as Googlebot, with duration of three of these being 30 minutes 13 sec, 22 minutes 39 sec and 49 minutes 33 sec. Upon further review, these were archived posts from 2012 to 2013, 2011 to 2012 and 2010 to 2011 respectively. What is the big Google machine up to? I have no clue.

My head hurts. My head has been hurting a lot lately during and after work, even heading into the weekend. I have been made to feel small and incapable. I feel deflated and defeated. If it was a job that I completely sucked at, I might not feel as bad. I need to change something in my life, and yet again, "life" means "job". That's just the way it goes. It seems though, that the decision has already been made for me, and I will need to look for something new very soon. The strange thing is, thinking on that whole idea that life turns in seven year cycles, it is coming close to that time... I just wish I knew what to do this time.

You never know...

 

Goosebumps....

 

Great song from back then... (Always good to sing along to...) Kind of hard listening to this at first, but at some point... goosebumps...

Reunion...

I'm glad I came across this, as I've seen the short version a few times. It's always nice to have a more complete picture... Well worth a watch.

Pretty cool. But not quite as cool as this...

One Tin Soldier

As I have mentioned many a time before, music and food play a big part in my memories, when there is not much else that seems to remain in the memory bank. This song, I remember from when I was a little kid, but I don't think I knew it was a Canadian band that sang it until it came up a few days ago. I do remember that I liked it, and, for some reason, I still do.

 

Always been rather fond of...

...percussion...

A guy and a pink what?

A pink tutu...

An American's take...

...on what is and will be a sad day in Canadian history. He was an unarmed soldier, guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier at the National War Memorial.

 

Lest ye forget...

Lest ye forget.

 

The land of 3am...

 

"I feel like a wet noodle blowing in the wind on a rainy day."

I came up with that a short time ago this fine morning, upon travelling to the land of 3am not sleeping, funked up thoughts. It has been a while since I have visited there and shared what I found.

I don't know

.... what I'm doing. No clue whatsoever.

One day of the year....

when it is acceptable for me to have my photograph taken...

 

Not done yet...

And even though we are no longer directly involved... aren't we?

Sad days...

... indeed...

(More here.)

Are you?

Had saved that a couple weeks ago for one of those nights, but as I sat here in the kitchen just now after enjoying leftover turkey dinner, alone in a quiet house, this came to mind...

From one of my faves.

Happy Thanksgiving.

 

I have become...

...one of those people who post cat videos... instead of typing actual blog posts... 
 

A beautiful relationship...
