Today is Bob Marley's birthday. He would have been 76. I'm going to smoke one for him today, in his honour. He is a legend and the king of reggae as well as my fave. Luckily for us he will live on thru his music. When I was in Jamaica a couple of years ago I went to the Bob Marley museum and honestead on Nine Mile and it was almost like a pilgrimidge for me and the drive there all of us in the van sang along aloud to the Bob Marley songs that were blasting loudly and we stopped off part-way ( it was a 3 hour trip each way all the way up into the mountains and at first I even hesitated going due to my bad back and trouble sitting that long but I also knew at the same time I would have had big regret if I'd gone to Jamaica and NOT gone there, being the big fan that I am, and I would have) and we stopped along the way at a small store and I bought 2 Jamaican patties and a 500 L pop and it was all just 5$ USD and here just the patties itself would cost 5$ each and at the site they sold ganja too and we all were smoking our doobies as we walked along on the tour and there was such a sense of freedom and camaraderie,too,and I also bought a "special" brownie too that had a reputation that preceeded it and they even warned us to not consume it there but to take it back to the resort and eat it there and I'm glad I did; even though edibles don't usually have any effect on me this one sure did: it was potent; it hit me when I was having dinner in the dining room one day at the resort(I'd only eaten half of it and saved the rest for later since it cost a fortune; 30$) and I started to feel really "funny" like you do when you're going to pass out and I almost slipped under the table so I quickly got up and staggered away off to my room and had a nap and slept for something like 5-6 hours, ha, ha! I also notice too for the past few times I'm outside smoking weed someone purposly locks the door and locks me outside, and yesterday I even saw the door opening and closing too so I have proof, whereas at first I thought it had just somehow self-locked, and logistics would indicate it would either be my hubby or the 13 YR old, but what an asshole thing to do! I'll have to just get a key made for the back door and keep it with me. That'll show them!!
I also said the other day how of all the singers that have died recently I miss David Bowie and Tom Petty and most and the 13 YR old goes, Why? You never even knew them! and I heard as well they're planning on making a re-make of that stupid TV show Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and I remember even as a kid that was THE *dumbest* show of the 70's and I didn't watch it then and I certainly won't be watching it now,either, and I keep hearing people mention a Tom Brady too but I don't remember any "Tom" on The Brady Bunch; just Greg, Peter, Bobby, Marcia, Jan, and Cindy and the parents were Mike and Carol, but I don't remember any of the characters named Tom unless it was a neighbour or some minor character I've forgotten. I used to watch that show every day after school. Someone also posted online how it's not true you can stick a toilet plunger on someone's face and I commented it actually will stick to a wall or your bare ass, chest, or back; you just have to wet it first. I know, I was a weird kid.There also used to be a time when I was younger I could assemble an AK-47 with my eyes closed too but now I can't even open a child-proof lid on my medicine bottles. Getting old really sucks! There's this Russian saying too: Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that they aren't really out to get you.
I heard a radio ad for Allstate insurance as well (I listen to an American station) and it was funny too as they said NOT available in all States ....and I was like What? it's called ALLState..... and when everyone else hears the name "Homer" they think of that vulgar TV show The Simpsons but I think of the Greek author that wrote those incredibly boring works The Iliad and The Odyssey that we were forced to read in highschool, and where it was soooo boring I couldn't force myself to get thru it( and I;m a person that LOVES reading!) so I read the Coles Notes ( our equal here to Cliff's Notes) which is basically a summary of a boring book you read which is a fast-track quick version of actually having to read the long, drawn-out boring thing so you can get it over with quickly and write your report instead(I did the same for Wuthering Heights)....only my teacher somehow knew the difference( apparantly there was a difference in the story in the notes than in the actual books...who knew? Just like how in movies often they change the ending from the actual original book, such as in The Scarlett Letter , completely different ending) and I made some smart-ass comment about who really even cares about some dumb old boring Greek story anyway, and it turned out the teacher was Greek and he got really mad.....ooops!! I figure Jesus was also the Original Hippie,too: the long hair, beard, sandals, and preaching love, peace,and non-violence.
To live is not the same as to have a life.
