MANESS MUSIC MONDAY

MANESS MUSIC MONDAY

IT'S LABOR DAY, SO MANY MORE FOLKS WILL BE READING MY BLOG TODAY!

WHY?

Because you're all home, and ain't got nuthin' better to do! Ain't it grand? 

So I need to write something GOOD for a change!

But what? What, what, what?

B.J. Thomas once said, "music is the universal language and love is the key," so I will speak to you in the universal language of music.

This is a cool video, it will make you happy on this Labor Day!

Click it on...please! 

My song at the bottom was written for my BFF, Cheryl Merritt, who is the nicest person you would ever want to meet, this side of heaven.

She is part of my YouTube family.

If you are not a YouTuber, it may be difficult for you to understand what a YouTube family is all about.

I'm not talking about EVERYONE on YouTube, only a small group within the vast YouTube network who encourages each other, cares about what is going on in each others lives, and love each other in the way creative people have done for centuries in circuses, vaudeville acts, musical troops, and theater groups.

Although we have never met, Cheryl has encouraged me every single day with her uplifting comments! (Excluding the days she was sick, or watching her grandchildren, and doing important stuff like that.)

Through her comments and messages, I learned she rode a pink bike and has a lake on her property in Texas, so I wrote the song with this in mind.

However, when I made the music video the first time, there was no picture, so I could only show the words with no picture.

Thank God for answered prayers, HE fixed my movie maker thingy and now you can listen to the song...AND see my beauteous smilin' face...AT THE SAME TOM! 

I took some liberties in writing the song by saying there are boys hanging around her lake wanting to hug and kiss her...she is happily married, and wouldn't allow that, in addition, she is a gun collector and would most likely blow away any unwanted intruders on her property! LOL! 

You would just fire a few warning shots in the air, right, Yellow Rose?!

So, here is the song for my BFF...with VIDEO INCLUDED!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!

HAVE A HAPPY LABOR DAY EVERYONE!!

DON'T BLOG WHEN TIRED!

I REALLY SHOULDN'T DO MY BLOG WHEN I'M TIRED, BECAUSE THERE IS NO TELLIN' WHAT I MIGHT SAY!

However, I really can't wait to do it until morning, because I'm singing a solo at church, and I need to practice when I wake up.

No time to blog in the morning.

So I'll share my thoughts with you now, but I warn you, I'm double dogged tired!

♫Here we go gathering nuts in May...nuts in May...nuts in May...here we go gathering nuts in May...so early in the morning!♪♪

Since it's Sunday, I need  to be sane and sober...AHA, but it snot Sunday...it's Saturday night at 7:50 PM and I'm pretending it's Sunday to fool my avid readers!

♪♫ OH, if the river was whisky and I was a duck...I'd swim to the bottom and never come up...that is of course unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed!♪♪♫

When I watch the history channel, and it shows how vast the universe is, and how tiny the earth is in the whole scheme of things, it makes me feel kind of like I don't even exist, but when my granddaughters run up to me for a hug, I feel like I DO exist, and I don't know why God gave me this great honor.

" Frog in da pond spells John,
Kick in da back, spells Jack,
3 straight rails, and a crooked panel,
Spells John McDanl!"

Did you ever notice that the people who say dogs don't go to heaven are kind of cold hearted, even for saying it? 

I've read the bible many times, and there is not one scripture that says dogs don't go to heaven. It does say the wolf will lie down with the lamb.

What do wolves and lambs have over doggies?

"Well, uh, but Jesus didn't die for animals, only for people who believe in him," they'll say!

My answer to that is God can do whatever he wants! Just because he didn't spell out exactly how he'll bring us together with our beloved pets doesn't mean he won't do it! 

I think people that say our pets won't greet us in heaven also enjoy telling kids there is no Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, or Tooth Fairy, all of whom I firmly believe in!

I'd like to introduce my friend, Harvey.

♫ Every time I go to town,
The boys keep kickin' my dog around,
I don't care if he is a hound,
They better quit kickin' my dog around!♫♪♫

Have I been drinking?

Absolutely not, I simply get a bit loopy when I'm tired.

Imagine if tomorrow, everyone's insurance was taken away and we had to pay cash for everything. 

Medical expenses would drop to a fraction of what they are today, lawsuits would be for only a few dollars instead of millions, car repair prices would go down hundreds of dollars, because everyone could only pay from what they had on hand, instead of from the vast, enormous wealth of the insurance companies.

I think there would be a lot less lawsuits, fake medical claims, and fraud of all kinds if there was very little money available to the "victims."

Of course, I'm really tired so take whatever I'm saying as "crazy talk, man"..."you're talkin' outta your head, brother"... "have you been into the loco weed, dude!"

How did ancient peoples do this wall...hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

​ Again, in Peru, this massive fortress displays a knowledge of stonework that modern man is simply unable to duplicate. These walls of stone are cut and stacked in ways that boggle the mind, fitting together so precisely that even today the seams are so tight that a piece of paper or a razor blade can't fit between. All stacked without any mortar, held in place through sheer engineering. The stones can weight up to 360 tons, yet were carried from over 22 miles away using... we don't know. We don't know what carried these stones that far, we don't know what could lift them up in the air and on top of other massive stones, we don't know how they were cut in irregular puzzle shapes and then stacked together in such perfect precision. 

         Could it have been ancient aliens?

Hmmmmm?

I warned you I was tired!

Have a great Sunday!

SILLY SONGS SATURDAY

Silly songs I loved, and dumb songs that  irritated me, from days gone by!

Our first example is a song that set my teeth, and brain, on edge!
The singing was nasally, the words were childish (yummy,tummy), and I was embarrassed for them! 
However, they made millions, so they didn't care what I thought! 

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy...I got love in my tummy...



My second entree is a silly classic, that is far out, creative, and pioneers the use of the sped up voice, that was the key to Alvin and the Chipmunks music!

Purple People Eater

Let's reluctantly move on to my turd, I mean third, selection, that shows how important it is to choose the correct name for your baby!

NORMAN

The 4th classic tune begs the question, who done it? 

Who Put The Bomp in the Bomp Bomp Bomp...



I really liked this next one, because it gave me the feel of being in the Australian Outback, living with the Aborigines, and playing with my didgeridoo! Whatever that is!

This silly song tickled me because of the way the dude sings honey (it sounds like hoe-ney), and the woo hoo's being sung in the background!

Wolverton Mountain

My favorite of all of these songs is the one below, that proves we can't always judge something or ANYONE by their looks!

Choose to be happy today!

It's your decision!

Unless something real tragic happens to you, like a major car accident, or your pet python passes away, or you get audited by the IRS, or about a million other nasty unexpected things that may befall you today! 

Maybe even in the next few minutes!

Other than that, have a happy day!

FAN FRIDAY

This is the face of the sweetest man I know!

Michael Tomlins (AKA Gounderus) is a Christian man who I am praying for every day.

He has brought so much joy to his fans on YouTube, who truly love him, and adore his videos.

He has gone through some tough times with his health and financially, but now has an opportunity to improve his situation, and do what he was meant to do...bring happiness to others!

You probably don't know him... he has two young daughters, a lovely wife, lives in New Mexico, and is a good Christian man. If you are one of my Christian friends, please pray that God helps this kind, gentle man to get this job he so rightfully deserves.

It will be a regular role on a T.V. show, and he is a wonderful actor and comedian! 

Look at this:

Isn't he great?

Has there been a time when you REALLY needed a break? 

Michael needs our prayers, if you would lovingly open your hearts for this sweet man, and send up a little prayer for him.

That's all I ask.

THOUGTFUL   THURSDAY

17,045 pageviews!   17,045 pageviews! 

17,045 pageviews! 17,045 pageviews! 

17,045 pageviews! 17,045 pageviews! 

17,045 pageviews! 17,045 pageviews! 

I guess I should be happy, but I'm paranoid and suspicious!

I'm not angry, and I don't want to come across as being ungrateful...I'm just confused and perplexed.

Where are all of these views coming from?

99% of the time, the only person who comments on my blog is Cheryl (Yellow Rose) Merritt. (Who I really appreciate and care about...a lot!)
Check out her sweet blog by clicking link below:

http://mimcherylanne.blogspot.com/2013/08/my-friend-micheal-t-aka-gounderus-from.html?spref=fb

So where in the H-E-double hockey sticks did 17,000 page views come from?

I am beginning to suspect that there is one individual who keeps clicking on my blog over and over again to make me feel better.

Seriously!

Out of 17,045 page views, I should have a lot more comments, or followers, or something! 

I see other blogs that have hundreds of comments from dozens of different people, and I usually only have one comment from my best friend, Cheryl.

I don't even get any haters! 

I believe there is a real conspiracy going on here, and I will not stop until I find out what person, or creature from a strange alternate universe is behind it!

17,045 pageviews have to equal at least a "good job," "your blog stinks," or "you're stark raving mad, Danny!"

Soooo, whoever it is that keeps clicking on my blog a hundred times a day, PLEASE STOP IT!

I know Cheryl is not the one doing this, because this started before I knew her, so who else could it be?

If you are from another dimension, and trying to communicate with me through pageviews, somehow...GIVE IT UP!

I would rather have one legitimate page view, than 17,000 phony pageviews!

Wait a second! What if it's just a glitch in the system?

Maybe my pageview thingy got cross wired with some popular person's page view thingy, and I'm getting his or hers view count!

Okay..let's get down to the nitty-gritty.

If you are reading this blog, PLEASE 
make a comment in the comment box.

It's not hard. Other folks have done it.
Cheryl does it every day!

Just saying Hi would be great!

Furthermore, if you are the one that has clicked on my blog 17,000 times because you feel sorry for me...CUT IT OUT!!

If you are a highly intelligent creature from a far away galaxy 500, trying to get my attention...cool it! I'm not interested!

Finally, I would love to see a few hundred comments on this blog today,
or only one view, besides Cheryl Merritt, that would end this puzzling puzzlement.

Thanks, and God bless!

OUT OF THIS WORLD WEDNESDAY

Here is the day we've been waiting for with eager anticipation!

Gary has successfully completed 4 of the 5 tests he has been given, with the loving help of Yellow Rose...which is perfectly within the ancient rules.

Let's review the tests, shall we?

1. Riding a pink bike across the Gland Canyon on a tightrope.

2. Outsmarting Glirkzilla so Gary could pass by him in one piece.

3. Surviving the Swamp Of Death.

4. Scooping pink elephant poop in the allotted time.

HOWEVER, the 5th and final test would be the most difficult of all! 

It would test his strength...mind...and HEART!

Gary is transported to the uniquely strange mountains of the planet Glirka.

They resemble "Devo" hats...remember? Upside down flower pots?

As he comes closer he hears what sounds like singing.

It's the voice of Yellow Rose, helper and comforter of all Glirkazoids in need.

As he raises his two long stemmed eyes up to where the sound is coming from on the mountain, Gary sees the most horrible, unimaginable sight he has ever seen! 

Yellow Rose is stuck in the web of the nasty, vicious, venomous, Gliderspider!!

Her powers are not able to work while entrapped in the negatively charged fibers of the web, SO GARY IS ON HIS OWN!!!

Gary is astounded that Yellow Rose is singing, even though she is facing imminent death!

Then he begins to understand the words and melody. She is singing the Sweet Yellow Rose song to give him strength and courage! 

Gary begins to feel more confidence, energy, stamina, fearlessness, power, intelligence...and most important of all...LOVE for Yellow Rose, than he has ever felt before!

He suddenly remembers a song his daddy taught him when he was a little baby...sung to the tune of The Itsy Bitsy Spider:

♪♪ Don't fear the Gliderspider, oh, don't you scream and shout,♫

♪Just climb on the web and punch him in the snout,♪

♫After you've punched that spider in the nose, ♪♪

♪He'll leave you alone and release Yellow Rose! ♫♪

A very prophetic song!

Gary also recalls that if a Glirkazoid rubs the juice of glirkaberries all over his little body, he will not stick to the web!

A glirkaberry bush is nearby, so Gary smears the juice of the berries all over his body, hands, feet, and...everything!

As swiftly and quietly as possible, Gary begins climbing up the mountain, and then climbs up the web...closer...closer...closer...until he is right behind the hideous, terrifying, Gliderspider!

He taps the spider on the shoulder...uh...I don't think spiders have shoulders, but he taps him somewhere.

At that, the gliderspider turns around, and Gary gives him a hard punch in the snout!

All of a sudden, the spider releases Yellow Rose! Then Gary and Yellow Rose begin to slide down to the ground on a strand of spider web!

Now, safe from harm, Gary and Yellow Rose stare into each others eyes.

Yellow Rose can feel emotions for Gary that she's never felt before.

Gary comes in closer, puts his arms around her...and...brushes some spider webs off her back.

Gary says, "Now, isn't that better, Yellow Rose?" 

Yellow Rose simply sighs.

Well, well, well...Gary has completed all 5 tests and has won the honor of entering the gold, diamond, and emerald encrusted Chamber of the Supreme Glirkheads!

What do they want from Gary?

Is it a secret mission?

Will Yellow Rose accompany him there?

Is Gary gay, or just stupid?

Join us next week for the grand finale!!!!
