Going Ape

Sigh.  The leftists are rattling their shame/authoritarian/ridicule chains again because ape was used in a, to me, satirical joke.

You may have read of it, how it was claimed racist, a show was cancelled and other punishments heaped on the jokester.  Typical petty self righteousness from our comrades to the left.

This is typical to detract from more important events  Such a waste of time and energy.

Yes ape has been used in a derogatory manner.  It is a trigger I suppose.  So I can't go ape for something huh?  In a pig's (another popular slur) eye. 

Real hate/prejudice can hurt and divide.  We must rise above for the most hypocritical racists are called liberal.  They say one thing and do another.

Beware also the ad hominem trap.  Lefties love to incense us and cause us to lower ourselves to their level.  It's different than pointing that out.  Be logical and factual.  Gets em everytime.

Physical ridicule on the other hand is common, such as caricatures.  Decide if it's funny or biting -s-.

So going ape is same as going wild.  It can mean enthusiasm or violent obsession. 

Of course terms adapt to snide remarks.  It's a choice and we should all start with ourselves.

I choose to go ape for Freedom in the sense I am enthusiastic and indefatigable concerning our Liberty.

And again, look around at what else is happening when a sensationalist story, well, goes ape/viral.  Observe events and see what is being obfuscated.

Apish behavior is in the purview of buffoons and poltroons.

Going ape?  Let your conscience be your guide.

100 Years

Memorial Day gets me to thinking about family and history.  We each play a piece of the mosaic from yesterday til tomorrow,  Once in a while I wonder about what will be remembered of today.

I know I'm doing what matters right now.  I'm not in some tizzy about leaving my mark on history.  I've done that with the kids.  They will remember me.  We often share memories of their growing up.  Some of the stuff is truly only noteworthy to us.  Trivia to others might be a warm or even silly remembrance to us.  After we pass, the mems will get gradually dimmer at least for such things.

Most people will cross over with some family, friends and associates remembering them.  That's ok.  It gives renewed meaning to living for the moment.

Some might die alone with no one. I hope we can reach out to them for we are strangers only once. They will never be alone again.

I look at family pics and some though dim are fresh enough to me.  My GreatGrandparents and their siblings for instance.  There are portraits of ancestor also.  These are only known through family stories and historical accounts.  Yet the were alive, vibrant and lived lives with people round them and interacting with such and events.  Perhaps they wondered too.  Or maybe they just lived, did what they could and passed on as the next generation took up life.

100 years from now one of my descendants might well look at a pic of me and think as I have.  Or a legend might grow if something I do now carries on.  But they will be there because I am here.

As quoted from Lord of the Rings 'History becomes legend.  Legend becomes myth.'  Great and small things.  What Dad did to Founding a Republic and much more.

Perhaps you'll make something of this.  Certainly make something of yourselves.

Remember.  Live for today and plan for tomorrow.

100 years will take care of itself.

Having Light we pass it onto others.  This was our school motto.  Let it be so.

Tom Tom

I believe the drums are sounding.  Some still distant, others nearer, but they portend upset.  There is quite a stir over the arrest of Tommy Robinson.

As usual, I'll offer my short 2cents.  I encourage you all to find out about him and what he is about.  I only add caution to beware of leftist press and obviously looking where this is not censored.  Yes censored.

His name is a pseudonym that, no thanks to the leftist press, has been rendered useless.  He was protecting his family because there is a hit out on them, not just him.

 He has for 11 years been exposing child rape/grooming gangs round England. The government has been covering up.  They are not happy with his efforts and have imprisoned/censured him before.  Now he is in for 13 months, immersed in a system where jihadists have prison gangs and might well murder him.

For some time socalled migrants have been multiplying.  There are no go zones and places where sharia law abides.  It is jihad by immigration.  Just as the child rape and the murders are jihad as well.  It is all about creating chaos.

The elitists wish to inundate the west particularly to make catastrophe.  Then they can do away with republics, make democracies and mold them into a collectivist miasma.

Tommy Robinson, among others, stand in their way in the UK.  They are our brothers and sisters in Freedom.  They deserve our support.  For in the US there is concerted effort to make us disarmed, gelded drones as well.  I needn't explain.  I have before and it is all around.  Again look and see. 

There seems to be a worldwide outcry about Tommy's incarceration.  Within an hour he was arrested, tried and condemned.  Just like ISIS etc do.  Just as collectivists everywhere do.

England is becoming what they fought in WW2.  Those folks would spin in their graves.  And worse, the English are silenced by a topsy turvy gov/legal system.  What else is it as sharia grows and even self defense is illegal?

If you receive this in occupied places, demonstrate, organize and foment an alternative.

Is not the protection of our children paramount in a Free society?  Resist the slide to oblivion.  Rise and seek Liberty.

FREE TOMMY ROBINSON!

Theater Energy

Ugh.  I'm lying here sweltering in the heat.  Actually it's the humidity.  Both that and temps are high.  So I conserve strength.

This kind of weather can be debilitating even fatal to those vulnerable.  Look out for neighbors especially the elderly.

Keep one's movement to a minimum.  Choose the best time for activity.  And when necessary, go forth.

Acting for the stage is similar.  Sure on cam works the same.  But that is in spurts of action.  Energy is needed to effectively portray the action.  A good actor makes it seem effortless.  Yet nonetheless it is energy expended.

The stage means one is always 'on', when in front of the audience.  Actors must husband their energy.  Depending on the scene, the given circumstances may demand little or a lot.

Offstage also depends on cues, what's next.  Some actors stay in character while others don't.  There are varying lengths of time between appearances.  So, acting accordingly is up to the individual.

One might be somewhat ill, however the show must go on.

I remember one such occasion.  I'd sit offstage and rest.  Then as time drew near, I'd wind up the springs and go forth.

Can you see the parallels to other activity I'm driving at?

Remember the show must go on.
