20,000 PAGEVIEWS, OCT. 21, 2013!!!!!

Thank you, EVERYONE! I am so happy, and a little bit humbled to receive this honor!

I was born 63 years ago in St. Louis City Hospital, and I'd like to thank my Mom and Dad for that!

Nancy, Dee-Dee and me were not in the picture yet.

I began writing as a wee urchin, when I wrote the celebrated poem, "Dogs" by Danny Maness...which ended up in the scrool newspaper!! (Having my sister Dee-Dee working on the scrool newspaper may have helped a bit. Even though she denies that any nepotism occurred.)

Throughout the years I continued to write silly songs, a couple of anti-comedy books, grocery lists, and Glirkazoid to English translations of their laws and decrees.

As I stand here on this imaginary stage, and look at the faces of all of you who have made 20,000 pageviews possible, I can't help but ponder, "what were you guys thinking?!!"

In conclusion, I wrote a little tune to commemorate this special day in my lice, and to thank all of you for your support and encouragement!

SILLY SATURDAY ON SUNDAY

I was so caught up in Cardinal fever that I forgot to post part 4 of my 5 part tutorial on "How To Avoid Making Really Bad Comedy and Music Videos!

Here is part 4 for your edification and stuff!

Okay, maybe this was a bit funny!

HA HA HA HA!

Even if I have to laugh my own self!

WORLD SERIES SATURDAY

The St. Louis Cardinals are heading for the World Series!!!!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

I stayed up too late watching the Cards win, and the post game stuff, to write my blog! So I'll say it all in pictures!!

Thanks to everybody for being sincere and believing in the Cardinals, and the spirit of Stan The Man Musial!!

FAN FRIDAY

I'm a big fan of Kiel Villeneuve, who created his Rhymesauce channel on YouTube! The link is directly below.

 You can thank me for turning you on to it later!

http://www.youtube.com/channel/UChfpEGCHu9njv2GNQG5sAcA

The photography in his videos is absolutely stunning, but the most powerful thing is his creative wordplay that he does to a rap beat!

I think the video below is a breath of nostalgic genius, as he weaves in the names of music icons from the past with a subliminal dual reference to a "needle," while his perfect timing of every word to the beat is mind blowing!

Kiel's trip to the zoo is something very special, in the way he links the animals to contemporary animated features like "The Lion King," and "Happy Feet,"  with such a lighthearted, super cool flair!

Monty the Gambler "has a fuller house than the Olsen twins!" Priceless! That's what

Kiel says in this next video, which is a comprehensive view of Las Vegas with a good story. All in 2 minutes!!

If you enjoy fun, intelligent, entertaining videos with exceptionally cool music and brilliant lyrics, Rhymesauce is for you!

Speaking of FUN!!

I REALLY hope you take the time to check out Kiel's videos in this blog! He is a great guy, and did I mention I think he's a genius?

THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY

Rebecca Sedwick

What a time for communication,

Instant messaging, across the nation,

Across the world we send our words,

Even if they're quite absurd.

No matter if the truth is said,

We just push send, then scratch our head,

And wonder if we should have sent it,

And question if we really meant it.

The main thing is, it got there fast,

So we can't worry about the past,

That was so 5 seconds ago,

So, let it go, just let it go.

Could we look into their eyes,

Without electronic disguise,

And say the rude things to their face,

About their clothes, their looks, their race.

It's so easy to abuse, 

To start a fight, and feelings bruise,

When done out on the internet,

We don't even break a sweat.

A girl was only 12 years old,

She was bullied by those mean and cold,

She brought her own life to an end,

Because somebody just pushed send.

OUT OF THIS WORLD WEDNESDAY

Gary hopped a cargo ship to save his little buddies,

They were kidnapped by the Badazzbeast, 

Who is ugly, mean and cruddy!

Pure in heart was Gary, he was a special guy,

Dressed as a Fartzfuffion, he looked just like a spy.

With a Mexican Sombrero, Scottish kilts,and flippy flops,

He fit in with Fartzfuffions, so they didn't call the cops.

While searching for the Glirkazoids,

He used his 7 senses,

Then he pulled out his GPS,

And wee-weed on the fences!

(Glirkazoid Peeing System/ Winker)

Gary found out that his friends were locked up way up high,

On the Mountain Of A Thousand Deaths,

By that Badazzbeastie guy.

Gary knew that he'd need strength,

To fight, and punch and wrastle,

So he ordered "belly bombers,

From the neighborhood "White Castle."

Little did he know that
Glrrrl((()))##++yowow77 was watching him,
A super hero sent to help,
When things were looking dim.

Will Gary win the victory and save 222,

Of his little helpless Glirkazoids,

Because he is true blue?

Will he need the help of

Glrrrl((()))##++yowow77,

Always ready for a fight,

We'll have to wait and see next week,

I bid you a goodnight...or morning...or afternoon..whenever you read this.

TRAVELIN' TUESDAY

Travelin', travelin', travelin' on,

The highway, singin' my song,

A song about my pet platypus,

 And everyone thinks I'm a wuss!

My platypus seems so sweet,

With his cute duck bill and webbed feet,

Yes, that's the way everybody feels,

But they don't know about his heels.

His heels have stingers filled with toxin,

If you get stung, just pray the Doc's in,

Cause you will be in excruciating pain,

From that cuddly guy who seemed so tame.

I used to be like my platypus, Perry,

Was all nice outside, but inside was scary,

I'd laugh and smile, and be so engaging,

But if you crossed me, I'd start in raging.

I'm older now, and a lot more mellow,

Most everyday I'm a gentle fellow,

Angry thoughts may sometimes linger,

But I can't fight, I've lost my stinger!

Disclaimer: No platypuusses were injured during the writing of this blog...in fact...I do not really own a platypus or have ever seen one in person. Enjoy your Tuesday my friends!

MANESS MUSIC MONDAY

My new YouTube video will explain everything!

Thanks folks!!

http://jmpradio.com/pods/gd/Podcast1007/ADD_Wednesday.mp3

SONG SUNDAY

I think we as Christians can relate to this song more and more as problems and trials fill our lives over the years, and can clearly see how God has helped us to weather the storms.

I'm going to church in a few minutes to receive spiritual refreshment, joy, and peace!

Thank you, Jesus!

SILLY SATURDAY

You guys know how humble I am, so when I say I think part 3 is the funniest of my 5 part tutorial on "How To Avoid Making Really Bad Comedy And Music Videos" I'm just being uncharastically honest.

Remember...you should NEVER try to duplicate anything I've done in my videos! They are dumb, unfruitful, and dangerous!!

Also, any rumors about me being gay are totally debunked in the video below, and I'm glad that episode in my life will FINALLY be put to sleep!

Of course, I have nothing against gay folks, it just so happens I don't walk that way!

So here is the video that will make you LOL! Yaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY

 It's easy being pessimistic when problems come along,

It makes a lot of folks get stinking drunk, light up a bong.

It takes more effort just to smile , be happy, optimistic ,

Especially when you feel like you are viewed as a statistic.

When someone's disrespecting an old friend that you may know,

Do you stand up and defend her, or just go with the flow?

You could say, "she really helped you, the time that you were down,

Try looking at her good points, there are plenty to be found."

The news reports from round the world are sure to make us cry,

We get depressed from watching people suffering and die,

However, if we turn off the T.V. and venture out,

We can help our friends and neighbors, the ones who weep about,

The rising cost of living, their aches and pain and heartbreak,

Optimism is what they need, but it's not a piece-a-cake.

To make them see there's always hope, and the Lord will send a blessing,

Anyway, what good is there in worrying and stressing.

The bible tells us not to fret on the things we want to eat,

Or the clothing that we want to wear, or the shoes upon our feet.

Your Heavenly Father knows in detail everything we need,

Seek first His Kingdom, and righteousness and we surely will succeed.

It's easy to be pessimistic and bring down all our friends,

It's hard to be an optimist and lend a helping hand,

To smile and laugh, build others up, even though we may be low,

We'll find it makes us happy too, and sets our hearts aglow.

THOUGHTFUL THURSDAY

Democrat or Republican,

On this we can agree,

That congress cares about themselves,

Instead of you and me.

They vote themselves a pay raise,

Fly their jets and take their perks,

Then laugh on a Caribbean cruise,

At all of us ignorant jerks. 

They close OUR national monuments,

And stop the White House tours,

But keep their golf course open,

While their liquor pours and pours.

I hear our Veterans may not get pay,

Their families have to suffer,

No benefits for heroes dead,

Could they make it any tougher?

America...America,

God shed his grace on thee,

And throw out all those greedy bums,

So we may all be free!

OUT OF THIS WORLD WEDNESDAY

Gary was not the mightiest, or brightest, of all the Glirkazoids that came out of the Academy, but the ancient ones knew he was the purest in heart!

That was the most important quality for a true hero! 

Gary was sincere and kind to others, and would not even hurt a phly, until he needed to defend the helpless from an evil villain! 

That is when he had the heart of a glion, and gained tremendous strength and power!

The ancient Glirkheads decided it was time for Gary to go on a sacred mission, to release those who were held captive by the wicked, ugly, Badazzbeast, on the planet Fartzfluffer!

The Badazzbeast had flown his spazeshipp to Glirka and kidnapped 222 young Glirkazoids to be his slaves!

It was Gary's job to bring all of them home safely.

It would not be easy!

First, Gary would need to hitch a ride on a cargo ship headed to Fartzfluffer,

find the abductees, defeat the Badazzbeast, and get the precious ones back to Glirka in one piece, uh, or 222 pieces...you know what  mean!

Could Gary accomplish this monumental task?!  

Aha! Let us not forget, Gary is pure in heart, and being pure in heart is the greatest weapon for fighting wickedness and evil!

Gary was able to use his infinite charm and finagle a ride to Fartzfluffer.

He then diguised himself as a Fartzfluffion, wearing a big Sombrero, a fringed vest, a plaid kilt, and flipflops...the traditional Fartzfluffion outfit.

Gary pulled out his GPS, and went pee-pee. (A GPS, Glirkazoid Peeing System, is what a male Glirkazoid calls his "winker")

Hey! Get off my case! Just trying to teach you the Glirkazoid tongue as we go along!

Gary was an excellent detective and tracker, and used all of his 7 senses to try and locate the poor little Glirkazoid captives!

When that failed, he asked some dude on the street corner, who just happened to know where they were.

Gary shuttered when he was told that they were being held atop the...

Dramatic music!

Mountain Of A Thousand Deaths!!!

Whoa! Will Gary be able to rescue his fellow Glirkazoids?

Will he survive the Mountain Of A Thousand Deaths?

Will he stop at a White Castle for hamburgers?

Oh, I hope so!!

Will he need help from Glrrrl((()))##++yowow77?!

Join us next week for the answers, okay?
