THOUGHTFUL THURSDAYS


On Thoughtful Thursdays we roll down the mellow road of peace and love, and take a relaxing stroll through the flower garden of our sweet memories and imaginary experiences.

Be real calm, dude,
Take it real slow.
Easy boy. It's okay fella. No one's gonna hurt ya boy. (It works on horses)
How ya doin' today? Are you feeling comfortable and cozy?
I hope so with all my heart, because Thoughtful Thursdays should be as mellow as a James Taylor song.
                                                     James looks a little different now.                  

I think you'd agree that ultra harsh, heavy metal music would not be in vogue for Thoughtful Thursdays. 
Although, Inner Siege,(^above^)is good for a different time.
I auditioned for this local band, but I was too old to keep up.
I don't want to spoil the mood of Thoughtful Thursdays, but the Inner Siege clip(^above^)REALLY, REALLY, REALLY...ROCKS!!!


Take my hand, and walk merrily with me through...what? You don't want to take my hand? It's okay! I'm a doctor. Come on, no need to worry. Now, take my hand, there you go!
AAAAAAHHHHH, that feels good!!!


We are riding the paisley choo-choo train of imagination, and joyous breathtaking wonderment, that propels us, ever so slightly, into the everlasting, swirling, universal kaleidoscope of all our fondest memories, desires, and really fun times, that have brought us sublime happiness, and made this semi-futile effort to recreate the deep, profound feelings that once permeated our hearts and souls so pitiful!



Remember this AWESOME Beatles song?!


Picture yourself in a boat, on a river,
(or is that, ON a boat, IN a river),
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies, 
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes,

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head,
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes ,
And she's gone.


Let's do what they said, okay gang?

I'm in, or on, a boat, in, or on, the Illinois river, and I see tangerine trees lining the banks in front of the old Steak and Shake.


I'm lying on my back, and I see marmalade skies.
What is marmalade? I'll Google it.

mar·ma·lade  

/ˈmärməˌlād/

Noun
A preserve made from citrus fruit, esp. bitter oranges, prepared like jam.
Synonyms
jam

It looks like this>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have to admit, it is a


mellow looking sky!


Somebody calls me...Daaaannny...Daaaaaannny....
Daaaaaaaaaaaaannnnny!!!

Now, I'm really freakin' out to the max!!

I look up, and there is this weird "chick," floating in mid-air, and eerily calling my name, man!

But, that's not the worst of it!!

What really creeps me out is her huge eyes, as big as dinner plates, and making all these complicated, colorful designs like a kaleidoscope!!!


Like, I'm scared to death, but she's callin' my name, so I answer her real slowly, and I'm sore afraid!!

Ye ye ye ye, yes, what do you wa wa, want?

Before she can answer, these gigantic, yellow and green, cellophane flowers start popping up from the river bottom, and tower over my head!!!


I can't stop thinking about this alien girl, whose kaleidoscope eyes are as blinding as the sun!!!

Then...all of a sudden...she's gone!!

You know, I'm not so sure this song is as mellow as I thought.
BURMA SHAVE

       One of my all tom favorite songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
