OUT WITH THE TRASH

MSNBC & CNN have been buzzing all morning (4-30-14) about the botched chemical death of a human excrement known as Clayton Lockett. This four time felon shot a nineteen year old woman with a sawed off shotgun and then allowed and witnessed her being buried alive.

The liberal media will beat up the Oklahoma Department of Corrections for the mix up in drugs which caused this repulsive human a few minutes of physical suffering. The left media and race baiting pimps will likely play it's ever present race card. Finally,  the anti death penalty lobby will be elated to have a new poster child for it's cause. 

Should we not remember the victims suffering and a families loss ?  Should we not rejoice that a piece of garbage has been destroyed and will never commit another crime ?

 

LOST IN YESTERDAYS ...

Sometimes I find myself lost in memories of past days.

A news article of an historic event, the passing of a friend or relative, an old photo discovered buried between the pages of a half read book, a great black and white movie, or any number of other random things puts the past in my present thoughts. While some might consider such musings as a sure sign of aging, I find the hours reminiscing as a calming break from a reality increasingly full of unpleasantness. Since I have lived the vast majority of my life, the future is but a thin slice of time compared to my past. I realize the most beloved relatives, business and social triumphs, and love affairs happened in my yesterdays. However, while I long for many tomorrows, I realize that my most glorious and energetic times are probably gone into a misty past.

I believe remembering and savoring the memories of yesterday is as important as noting events on my schedule for the coming month. While I refuse to surrender one second of the present, and it's possibilities of enjoyment, I easily enjoy daydreaming  good times from the past. As I clippty clop along the final lap, getting sidetracked in thoughts from yesterdays is perhaps a refreshing and healthy meditation.
