l.p. - luminous pondering - hmm...

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? ;-) ...just making sure now...  ...just keep watching  THE NEWS  And you may also wanna check out:

 No... NO WAY...  This... pattern wasn't part of this template?  Or was it? And I ignored it!?  WHAT THE HELL...  The certified symbol  -though inanely simplistic-  of the antichrist:  the cross, upside down...  ALL ALONG THE SIDEBAR!?  A sidebar depleted of its features;  so many dead links there  (dead ends, like antichristic behaviour is, really!)  so I could be excused to have not even  LOOKED there - certainly not looked twice!  Those hyperlinks I could easily wipe out,  with the back of the hand, then -  AND I DID JUST THAT!  Hence the debut, here, for 2025,  of the new template for this particular blog;  the Antique template.  That other template?  Taken out, extirpated from here,  swapped away with the back of the hand indeed  just as the Antichrist will be  by The Returning Christ  THE AWESOME & AWE-FULL JUDGE  SON OF GOD  REDEEMER - of...

  After causing me all manners of annoyance,  YouTube actually put together  THE PERFECT MUSIC to describe MY 2024...!?  AND HERE IS THAT PLAYLIST:  NEVER MIND THE FACT THAT  THIS "MIX"... SUPPOSEDLY "MY MIX" WAS NOT READILY EMBEDDABLE  NOR SHAREABLE IN ANY WAY -  I HAD TO RECREATE IT PIECE BY PIECE...  while I was at it, of course, I made some changes;  added some MEGA-LONG videos  -you'll see, near the end -  and subtracted that one odd pick there:  I AM NOT AL PACINO, YOUTUBE!  I HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH SCARFACE!  I DON'T SNIFF COKE!!! AND, BY THE WAY...  But that's another story

 Those... ominous semi-predictions  came to be true, pretty much...  ...so, now...  what can be hoped for  OUT OF 2023?  The preceding was brought to you by  Things To Come ... +++ 

 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 ...

 OR NOT TO GET VACCINATED?  THAT IS THE QUESTION  RIGHT NOW!!!  ugggggghhhhh... QUACKS!  can't trust a thing they say!!!  One quack prescribed something  to an elderly patient - it killed the geezer!  It's always a 50/50 chance -  just like with the vaccine!!!  I better prepare for the worst  and hope for the best - as I always said! 

  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...  ...

 BLACK SUPERMAN?  You better think things through... DC!  ...UNLESS...  DC firmly embraces this  "Multiverse"  thing they seem bent on  and have two or three  SUPERMEN  flying around - all at once!  "VAL ZOD"  "KAL EL"  the CW scrawny version  and, maybe...  Sunshine Superman?  Bizarro?  Or that Calvin guy - sure!  AND, of course, ME! 

 French-Canadian comedienne asked, today, on her  Facebook wall... ''peut-on vivre sans amour?''  MEANWHILE, old friend Judy posted an(other) enigmatic pic  that gives an idea of what her Saint Valentine's Day  might be all about; she got flowers, chocolates and  a card - about FRIENDSHIP.  Hmm... keeps me wondering if they've been left alone  by their respective hubbies?  But that's beside the point...  WHAT ABOUT LOVE?  The thespian is clearly asking about HUMAN...  INTERPERSONAL... PHYSICAL/EMOTIONAL... SEXUAL LOVE!  Is that TRUE LOVE?  Or is true love... a spiritual experience?  A communion of souls!  WHAT IS *TRUE LOVE* 

  ...once again... after Facebook, Whatsapp, YouTube,  a 1001 others that have come and gone  (or simply changed their policies,  tinkered with their toys/settings  or simply made things different  FOR NO GOOD REASON AT ALL...)  Blogger  sux.  Why did you do it, Blogger?  WHY?  Yeah...  Don't answer that! 

 

  So... We're hearing that Patty & Gal  didn't do so well in their redux...?  *WW84* isn't all that it  could have been/promised to be?  Maybe it is due to it  having only ONE song from 1984  in its entire soundtrack - and it isn't what it should have been: ...it is this:    WOW.  That was... underwhelming!  (In spite of the daring bits there,  for its day and prudish age;  such as the protruding ones  seen in this shot, screenshot  for your convenience  (since fickle YouTube might  take it down any second now!)   ...boobies? (Even if only side boob shots) in a MUSIC VIDEO from the Eighties?!?  And all staged in the midst of some kind of sado-maso lesbo scene...?!?  How did this get past the censors, back then?  How did it get uploaded to YT... NOW?  #ButThatIsAnotherStory No, really...  PATTY should have gone  WITH THIS SONG INSTEAD:  It tells the same basic ...

So maybe you're under quarantine right now  and feeling bummed out... blasé beyond belief...  irremediably bored to death?  (Bad choice of, ah, expression to use here;  at this particular time... Mea Culpa!  But hey - it's not like COVID-19  is an instant death sentence ~ it is not !  Odds are you'll get through it -  if you even get it; which you might not!  OKAY - let's move on ... )  You could sing the  INDOORS SONG,  for instance:  Think about it - no one will hear you sing along!  ... if you do not do anything stupid like video  capture it and share it on social media!  You may also want to go out for a walk -  oh yes, you can still do that!  As long as you remain distant and unreachable  at all times - from anyone you may encounter!  (Don't want to brag here... but *I* have  always been a Master at social distancing  ---...
