NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

We offer observations on the human condition from a 21 year old mind trapped in an 81 year old body.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Leave a child alone for a few moments and she will find a way to play with her hands.

Money  problems lead to personal problems.

Some are born to greatness, others are born  to seek the Republican presidential nomination.

Some walk with measured steps, I don’t.

I never place  hands in back pockets, some do.

Mitt Romney reminds me of the little man atop a wedding cake.

The wealthier is one the more one whines how poor people take their money.

To be poor is to accept the life given and do the best one can.

Young girls tend to have same hair style as friends.

Many use butt to push open door, I don’t.

Study people to know thyself.

Je crois, alors je suis, I think, therefore I am.

I suspect five men will  decide providing health care is a violation of freedom, but compelling seat belts in cars or car insurance is not.

My word is my bond, I am Depression born.

Like so many of immigrant stock, I exist as an American, the past is lost to me.

Our child lives in our adult mind.

Success is easy to handle, adversity compels heroism.

There are those seeking  riches of money and there are those seeking riches of heart.

If you dislike certain behaviors don’t do them.

Legs stretched,  arms folded on chest, the man is declaiming about something with passion.

I prefer judging myself to others.

There is a moment in any group when one has permission to gaze away.

Some fear their inner voice. It is the best friend one can have.

Age reduces my need to use hands when speaking.

Father feels pride when teenage girl makes interesting point to adults.

It is amusing watching two chomping together in unison.

A rat has been our companion for millions  of years but we  will not rat on anyone.

I enjoy sitting in coffee shop thinking about life as life passes me by.

Athletes hug in victory, why not in defeat?

Nightmare: A pert blond who appears on Fax News is president.

Mitt Romney is a gift to all comedians.

Height in America translates into higher paying jobs.

If my napkin blows onto floor, I pick it up. I am Depression born.

Gazed at photo of students protesting, all obese. I guess marching for something enables them to march for themselves.

I wonder where the concept of a “baker’s dozen arose.?

I always have an internal debate on how many napkins to take.

I never hold a newspaper up to my face to read it.

Parents carry child on hips like their gorilla ancestors.

Trains convey mystery of a voyage, planes do not.

I usually stand when placing sweetener and milk in coffee.

We seek company of others to affirm our self.

I have never worn a red shirt to work.

I only read daily newspapers at home, in New York, it is on subway.

Ron Paul never met a wealthy person who needed tax cuts and other such welfare payments.

If God is truly on OUR side, we will never fight another war.

Americans love reading about princes and princesses. Why did we fight a Revolution?

Some moms rub child’s head as she talks.

Today in America we dream more about money than love.

Mystery of Life: What do aliens really think of inhabitants of planet Earth?

Some chomp and rub hands, I do not.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

To be human is to wonder about fate. Fate doesn’t

My heart is with all life forms in universe.

Woman alone in morning reading book. Solitude and peace on face.

To live with hate in heart is not to live.

Good deed, helped old lady by opening door.

Mystery of life: Cars parked outside business establishment, but no one inside.

I wonder if there are forms to fill out to enter Heaven.

My Depression mind thinks in terms of pennies saved.

A blond haired woman in tight jeans is, by definition, interesting.

Elderly women love patting head of bald men.

Young Americans are not interested  in American history, that is anything before they were born.

I am furious at those lacking compassion for oppressed people.

I gaze at my hands which reveal age wondering if age ever halts in other ways than in death.

Some listen with ears, some with eyes, some with both.

Due to cost, I left my dentist for one  who is cheaper.

I met a teacher who wanted to cut costs by firing government employees, he was shocked to realize that teachers are government employees.

I am satisfied with day old coffee.

I purchase a lottery ticket expecting that I MUST win

I have a hunch that in Heaven skin color is of no importance.

Some slumber in realm of  love, some in realm of anger.

I wonder how aliens consume nutrients.

If I am not my brother and sister’s keeper, who am I?

Some believe God speaks to them. I  speak to myself and don’t pester God.

It is an art to figure out which lane moves the fastest.

I miss picking up newspapers on subways. It is an art.

In the modern Republican party there is always a fourth act.

Some believe their pain surpasses your pain. Pain is pain.

Some dwell in the house of childhood, that was then, now is now.

I am a stranger sitting among strangers.

As women grow older their ring remains long after he is dead.

Rich get capital gains, I get their bill.

Some walk through the Valley of Death, some walk through the Valley of Life.

Some shuffle eggs to side of plate, others just mix things up.

I wonder how alien life forms interpret our TV signals.

An elderly woman at a table with elderly men makes certain the table is clean when they leave.

 

If you want to embarrass Rick Santorum, quote him.

To see through the eyes of a child is to see love.

To see through the eyes of an 80 year old is to see death.

Capitalist Credo:  I got it, you don’t, fuck you!

Christ preached the doctrine of, “I am my brother’s keeper.” Today, the Republican party preaches the doctrine of “I care about myself, you are on your own.”

Most women when rising from seat adjust their jeans.

Private life in America should be kept private.

I wonder where the concept of a dozen arose and why?

Know thyself and you will never lack the company of a good friend.

I have never worn a red shirt to work.

Most seek company of others to affirm their self.

We invoke God to justify actions which go against His teachings.

Some loving mothers rub hair of child as they talk with the child.

To be human is to worry about one’s Fate. Sorry, Fate does not worry.

Americans so enjoy reading about princes and princesses. I wonder why we had a Revolution.

Mystery of the Universe: What really do aliens think about Earthians?

I inhabit a world in which my music tastes are fifty years out of date.

One can only truly believe an idea unless one has doubts about it.

Rick Santorum believes he has God on his side. Unfortunately not in his mind or heart.

Americans demand perfection from other nations. For themselves, …..

I can never figure out how or why most Christians claim Jesus Christ as their Savior.

There is no substitute for a soldier with combat experience.

I was informed by a student he has the right to sit with folded arms gazing at the clock. It says so in the Constitution.

Pander Road is the most well traveled by Republican candidates.

Americans are lost in the wilderness of time.

Barack Obama can keep his mouth shut for the next several months, just let Republicans blather on and on.

After one cup of McDonald’s coffee, my taste buds rebel.

There are times to be fearless and times to fear.

I never see ads offering to help thin people become obese.

A day went by without Rick Santorum telling about his coal miner grandfather.

She enters, gazes around the diner, leaves. A missed romance?

I rarely shake my head to indicate agreement with a speaker. I am a one nod person.

I wonder if God sleeps.

A painful memory should be allowed to sleep in the past.

We live today, but our minds spend  time in the past and in the future.

I am constantly told to “have a good one,” but no one tells me what constitutes a good one.

People claim to love Jesus. That is not the question, the question is: does He love you?

I await an ad that says:  ”No Sales Today, Just Regular Prices.”

Little children wave at me, and I always wave back.

Some rub hands on entering a diner. I don’t.

In the end, the most important statement one can make is: “I am alive.”

An elderly man stumbled into the bagel shop, gee, I am glad not to be an elderly man.

I was born a Jew, i will die a human.

I would love to be reborn–as me, that is.

Religious people cite religious documents in order to behave un-religious.

To love another is to forgive another.

We pass laws abandoning our liberties and call it, the Patriot Act.

I am continually amazed at the indifference by youth of world affairs. Heck, they  are not even interested in their own nation.

I prefer in people, anger to indifference.

To give without seeking a return is to be a child of God.

Keep one’s face to the sun, not to black clouds above.

Age combined with weight makes heavy the exit from a booth seat.

People around me grow younger, I grow shorter.

I hate being near the door which when open allows winds of cold to enter.

I always carry a spare eye glass case.

Some move hand while waving, I keep it steady.

Elderly women place napkins on their husband’s plate.

I constantly receive offers of: “cash now!” Trouble is I have to give it back–with interest!

Authenticity in personhood is an admirable trait.

Some stride side to side, I don’t. I always walk straight.

I feel lost without pen and  notebook.

To study war is to learn about ignorance, stupidity, and the fatality of violence.

Once upon a time in America females actually worse dresses.

I make promises to keep. Others don’t.

Some day I will hobble, but not today.

I could never become a member of the Republican party, I am a rational thinker.

Some learn from mistakes, most prefer repeating them.
