Hello? Is anyone there?

I wonder often if people are reading this particular blog or not...I know i have had over 10,000 hits on the Yahoo page, but then again i only made that page public a year or so ago...this page is pretty much public since i made it, and I think there have been 140 or so visitors, although the map thingy says not, so they must be repeat visits.

If you wonder about the music videos i post, many times they are just ones i fancy in the moment, although like i was saying at work today, you know you are old when all the really memorable songs you know are around 40 years old...bummer man.

I wonder if when some young tough guy walks by my car while I am sitting there if there is any recognition that I have done a lot of things, things that maybe he hasn't even though of, or perhaps hopefully will never experience. Assassination of a president, his brother, and a civil rights leader; watching almost live TV of men bouncing around on the moon; being invited to see a weather satellite launch over the Pacific; flying a long circuitous route to Europe from the west coast because Russia was the enemy; knowing that gasoline will always be there, and under 50 cents a gallon, and freaking out when it hits 75 cents a gallon (now that wasn’t that long ago either); making hot passionate love on a beach, losing your class ring, and having the police show up and tell you to get dressed and get off the beach, the beach is closed. So maybe that’s why I tend to relax listening to “older” music,,, it takes me back to those things I recognize now as some of the good things I have done. Hopefully there will be a time when I listen to Lenny Kravitz and have good memories as well…I know I have started…
