Dearly beloved’s
Purple rain is here to stay
“It’s cool to get on the computer, but don't let the computer get on you. It's cool to use the computer, but don't let the computer use you. Y'all saw 'The Matrix. ' There is a war going on.”
“ if the elevator tries to bring you down-Go CRAZY”
“Dearly beloved / We are gathered here today / to get through this thing called ‘life’; Things are much harder here than in the afterworld.” – Let’s Go Crazy, Prince.

When Big Bands Played on every station 📻
When big bands ruled the world, with live broadcast each night. A slow world. A sentimental world. A world that believed in God. In LOVE. A world after the war that appreciated the small things, the community and most importantly family above all else. What a beautiful world that was of values. If we could only add progression to old school morality then maybe one would have less suffering. A book I read often from the 1950 states “if suffering made the world wise, a wise world it would be” after the world wars what a wise world we were becoming. If progression could meet slowness, like the Italian say “the art of doing nothing” what a peaceful world we would have. Big Bands brought in peace in a time the world didn’t know the end, each night the news goes off, did a love one die? Is your family now just a Jayne or Joe doe somewhere out there? Well forget your troubles we are all in this together- here is Glenn Miller and his Big Bands singing it’s a blue world, the moonlight serenade begins for a hour where you forget your troubles and melt in with the big band. Once the war was over those late night broadcasts became coming home dances. For a moment to me that was a beautiful world. Radio Days. Glenn miller and his orchestra playing live lifting spirits. A beautiful world that must had been for that moment. To be alive and to be appreciative of every second God Has given you.

I am currently reading Oscar Wilde’s most famous works as an attempt to broaden my cultural consciousness. The book is a collection of poems, each wildly different and varying in length. My top three favorites (not in order).
