What Is That?

April 23, 2014

A father and son sit on a park bench and enjoy a quiet afternoon together. The father keeps asking the same question over and over again much to the annoyance of his son.

This video sends a powerful message. Have patience with those you love, both young and old, because at one time or another, you were or will be those people. One of the most touching videos I’ve ever seen. ^

Lyrics

In times long past
Lived a Man of green,
And his footsteps brought life wherever he’d been.
In the deepest wildwood
Was the place he was seen,
And the people did love
And protect him.
And they saw his face change,
With the turn of the Wheel
Of the Seasons,
They heard his voice sing.

(Chorus)
I’m the Horned God,
I’m the face in the trees,
I’m the breath of the wind that rustles the leaves,
I’m the Green Man
In the wildwood I roam,
Cernunnos, I’m Pan and I’m Herne.

I shall be as the Dark Holly King,
Darkness and cold
In my cloak I will bring,
And on Winter’s nights
To me you will sing,
Till the air around me starts changing,
And on the noon of the solstice
I’ll give up my crown,
To the Light
And the Mighty Oak King.

All Summer long
I shall rule just and fair,
Bring your crops to fruit
With the light that I share,
With fire and water,
From earth into air,
But the Wheel it keeps
Steadily turning.
And on the noon of the Solstice
I’ll give up my crown,
To the cold and the Dark Holly King.

T’is now modern times
And the Summer is here,
The Winter has gone
And the air it is clear,
On a fine day I walked
Through a woods I live near,
When a battle I spied
Through a clearing,
Two giants of leaves,
One light and one dark,
Even now the Wheel it is turning!

Large And No-Longer-In-Charge Mayor Provides More Fodder For Comedians – My Thoughts

November 20, 2013

Rob Ford:Toronto

Toronto’s Mayor, now stripped of his non-statuatory powers by city council continues to grab international headlines and provide free fodder for late-night comedians.

Why is Rob Ford still the Mayor of my city? When will this circus at city hall end? When will Mayor Ford finally get help for his problem? I keep asking myself the same questions, every time I go online, turn on the TV, listen to the radio, pick up a newspaper, talk to my colleagues.

It must be extra tough being Mayor in a city the size of Toronto, which really should be its own province. And, when you add on vast quantities of booze, a crack pipe, coaching football, maybe a little sex and a lot of public drunkenness, a video rant and god knows what else onto the mayoralty agenda it makes it even tougher. Eventually the addiction, the destructiveness and the lies catch up to you and everything in your private and public life unravels.

In a few months alone, Mayor Rob Ford brought dishonour to public office and our city. His actions continue to embarrass Torontonians and provide still more joke fodder for late night TV comedy. On The Tonight Show, host Jay Leno called the mayor ”God’s gift to comedy” and mocked Ford’s statement to Fox News last week that he one day wanted to become prime minister.

Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Conan O’Brian and David Letterman continued to mock Ford on their shows this week as they have done since Ford admitted to smoking crack cocaine earlier in November. ^

Nasty Pants, Little Red Rooster

April 16, 2013 | Nasty Pants, Old English Red Cap Rooster at Murray’s Farm | Cambridge Ontario, Canada

Watch the video.

Campaign to SAVE NASTY PANTS

Nasty Pants is my favourite rooster at Murray’s Farm. He has personality and character, intelligence and wit. This video may persuade my best friend Murray to save Nasty Pants from the slaughterhouse. Hopefully this celebrity rooster will live out the rest of his life on the farm. The farm would not be the same without him, for me at least.

Thanks for viewing.
