Cosmic Question or Not?
We’ve all asked ourselves these questions many, many times. I answered them for myself, in the form of my “Inaugural Blog” (the one and only before this one). It was pretty much a mission statement in response to questioning my motivation to blog, to whit: I want to open eyes, unplug ears, awaken “the sleepers from their sleep and rouse the slumberers from their slumbers”. (Pretty slick if I can pull it off, eh?) Ultimately, I want you to go over to the window, open it, stick your head out and yell,” I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!” (“Network”,1976). I want you to look at the ugly side of life as we’ve allowed it to become. All those other things I said in my previous blog are still more or less true; some are still even valid, but they’re just commentary. As the great rabbi, long ago stated the sum of the bible in one sentence, he said, “Do unto to others as you would be done unto. The rest is all commentary.”
However, after reading, re-reading and once again reading my “Inaugural Blog”, I have taken the desperate effort of receiving coaching. (That will, I’m sure be a relief to some of you — those who were brave enough to read this, my second edition. after having read the first; and, also, to those of you who have courageously reached this point and are doubtless wondering if you should continue reading further — I can only assure you that further editions will only improve, if there is a forgiving God in Heaven. (Forgive me if you don’t believe in God nor in Heaven; I meant no offense; many of us see the Truth in differing ways and, after all, we’re all God’s children, yes?) .
And, let me tell you from the start, as if I had to tell you at all, I am almost completely computer illiterate, so at least for the near future please bear with me. This, too, shall pass.
I don’t really have a goal for my blog, I just want it to evolve organically, as I evolve organically, as we all evolve organically. I intend we are all in for a pleasant surprise. I hope you will join me in our journey into the Twilight Zone.
Thanks for visiting; please come back soon,

Thoughts by an Old Hippie Curmudgeon 
Hi. Just a quick tip. I do find the different fonts in the writing a bit distracting. Hard to know where to look and focus on.
I would suggest to play with some different layouts and try something plain and simple and see if it makes any difference!

Thanks for the input. I cut and pasted from my WordPad, and when I tried to edit it on WordPress it did all kinds of weird stuff: I’d choose a header size and it would apply it to the whole next paragraph; when I tried to correct, it would do something to the whole post. I even deleted it, copy/paste again, and again, until the deadline for posting was upon me, so I said WTF and posted it anyway and hoped for the best. Thanks again for the input; I just wanted you to know that what you saw was not intentional, just computer illiteracy in action.

I’m now following your blog and I hope to continue reading your prose. I too write my blog posts in word then cut and paste. Not always a perfected method but it works for some of us. Anyway, keep going. You are fun to read and soon you will no longer be able to claim to be computer illiterate.

Thank you for your kind words. They are very encouraging. I wish I had your confidence in my improved computer mastery, but it seems that the more I try to progress, the more I seem to digress. Just when I think I’ve got it, something else comes up to upset the apple cart. It’s very discouraging, but I shall persevere.
