Hmm... So, When Will It Be Our Turn?


ALL THIS TALK OF 99% VERSUS 1%...
And today, is Earth Day, is it not?
Got us thinking about some other perspective,
some other significance there could be out there
for those very same, exact percentages...

And here it is, courtesy of The History Channel...



99% of the species on the planet died out already!
WE ARE THE 1% ALRIGHT - THE 1% LEFT AFTER THE LAST GREAT EXTINCTION!

So maybe we can stop our petty bickering amongst ourselves,
cease all the silly little subdividing into classes and social groups
and, maybe -just maybe- we can TRY and d something
about trying and avoid
THE NEXT GREAT EXTINCTION...?
Hmm?

Lest it is more like the next great purge
of the good ol' planet Earth -
it gets disinfected every once in a while...?

Food for thought...!

(NOTA BENE:
the video here is but part ONE of TWELVE -
studying the seven biggest threats to humankind
(although the uploader calls them
'the seven deadliest treats to humanity' - cool)
so do yourself a favor
and look up the six others
on YouTube yourself!
Me, I'm just glad they cut part one off
just as Hawking began talking...!)

Sempre Por O Melhor

hmm... golden globes?

  Ever wondered why the hell they started rewarding  cheap TV without much in the way of standards of any kind  -often employing the same thespians, over and over again-  AND WHY did they ever decide to call these things  "THE GOLDEN GLOBES"  as this clearly doesn't always involve the whole damn globe  and there's no real gold to be dug up - nowhere!!!  The most prestigious award they have to give out,  truth be told, probably would be the  CAROL BURNETT (ACHIEVEMENT) AWARD  and they've given a grand total of... THREE TIMES  (including the one given away tonight: to 98 year-old  Norman Lear! Good thing they didn't wait any longer - eh?  As they could have given it to him last year: instead, they  chose to give it to ELLEN...!!! That's the video above...  The inaugural one -below- was Carol Burnett herself - duh)  Yeah, yeah - alright, alright;  they've got the CECIL B. De MILLE AWARD, too...  ...

hmm... better roles, she said?

 Recently (most recently; as that was... yesterday!)  on the award-winning talk show hosted by  KELLY CLARKSON (yeah - another "hmm" right there!)  this actress comes on (via zoom, skype or whatever)  and professes to have "fallen in love all over again with acting "  thanks to this new role that she nabbed... on this:  ...TOO BAD... the actual interview in which she  gushes so about it is just GONE...  It is based on a book - see?  One that is highly recommended ~ y'hear:  hmm... me, I still prefer  The Lumineers! But that's another story!  back to that actress though - EVE...  She recounts that she ALMOST QUIT ACTING  because all she was ever offered were parts of  "booby girlfriends" (I paraphrase...?)  (lest it was "bubbly GFs" - huh?)  (But no - I am pretty darn sure she spoke of boobs!)  and, still, she didn't quit... she persevered...  she made a name for herself while retaining ...

...

There sure is much to ponder these days...  INDEED! And it's making me... angry... hungry... hangry ! Hmm... Maybe some soothing music will help...? Hmm... I'll keep on adding playlists here, no matter what - *one* of them is bound to be playable, sooner or later, surely, eh? Ah - see? ;-)
