Merry GO Round

Is getting up, waking up a sign of aging? I can think of my parents who used to wake up at a very early time in the morning, as in 4 to five A.M. While other people will get up at 6 or 7 A.M. depends on what occupation they have. Yeah, I'm there aging gracefully and gratefully just like everyone else on planet earth. Nothing last forever! Nobody does. Even Cindy Crawford. Excuse me! Melon extract. She's just pretty and make up can do wonders to her face.There goes the story of the Melon Man.We all know that there is no such thing as Benjamin Button or Forever Young. They are all fantasy and fiction generated by genius authors of books and made into spectacular movies and directed by great directors with million dollar budget.

Three weeks of rain and some foggy scenes. Few hours of sunshine. What the hell this weather we had here in Canada? Oh know what? It's just like old times. AuTumn 'ya know. We need those showers every now and then so that the dams be filled with water supply for the time when we have to use them for reservoir and to generate snow. Think of a fridge and freezer altogether to make the whole earth fresh not barren and dry. 2012 is when nothing is sacred anymore because Science fills the void and Einstein made it happen that even though he is "autistic" he is a genius; he conquered time and space.

So the harmful idiotic weather has left us all suddenly when it was just so unruly lately. The last rude awakening of bad weather was yesterday when the wind howled and blew some twigs and branches down the highway. It tossed waves up and down the shore along South Island Highway. But my goodness, how many vehicles were parked on that side of the shore watching the waves roared furiously as it slammed its heavy water on the rocky side of the shore. Incredible mist out there too. Then a father and son put on their scuba diving suits without the oxygen tank, perhaps they will surf on the raging waves. Why not? That kind of high waves are potentially great for surfing and wave boarding. As you may know by now that foreigners would rather seek the all time high tidal waves along the coast of Hawaii and or wait for the great big storm in the island of Catanduanes to enjoy the grandiose waves. Yeah why not in Campbell River? During the storm, eh?! Shocking!?

Well, instead of sulk all day and night at your home and whine. Others have trouble whining and ranting they were the people who are diagnosed with SADs. What SAD is? Unhappiness? Too sad madam tussad? SAD is Seasonal Affective Disorder brought on by sudden seasonal changes. Depression. Individuals without close friends or any acquaintances to go and lead them or associate in times of need and distress. The unemployed have this kind of depression and sometimes can be categorized as melancholia if help is not attained nor no help whatsoever is given to that person.

Anyway let's make today a wonderful day of being with the Lord. The sun shines so bright and we must be thankful and happy. For we'll never know if the weather will be like that for the rest of the week. For the hobbyists autumn is the season of indoor quality fun games, sports that can make you active even without the necessity to get out of your comfort zone. Hobbies such as: sewing, embroidery, quilting, painting, cooking ethnic cuisines,scrapbooking, social networking, indoor gardening, thus if you have greenhouse that's okay. Play chess or scrabbles with your children. I know it would be hard for kids now to play the ordinary games such as those I mentioned. Because they would rather play these games and other computer games on facebook instead. Their companions are the computers, laptops and notebooks plus iPads whom they treasure much of their life, time and effort. How many parents are freaking mad about this technology? Millions?

We'll all wake up one day that although we are technologically modern yet the country that we are in belongs to somebody else already and that's one giant leap for mankind. One giant leaf for mankind and then cloverleaf happened. The cover was lifted off Yuri GAGArin becomes the hero and what's next? Gaga, radio gaga. Lady Gaga! California gold rush? Mckinley, Mackinze King, etc, etc, and the history of the world repeats itself.

Calamities, disaster, war and rumors of war, mass exodus,  your country becomes my country, my country becomes yours and the merry go round starts all over again. The south pole becomes the north pole. The west is the east and east becomes the west. Nakakapagod na.
