3Hotdogs's JournalI was struck by a thread this morning about Kris Kristoferson's Bobby McGee.
"I'd trade all of my tomorrows for one single yesterday."
That one hit home in so many ways. She's been gone for eight years now and I couldn't stop thinking about those lines all day.
It also took me to the people around me now. Today, is tomorrow's yesterday. I want that line of song to guide me to be better to the people in my life.
Absurd temptation to buy shit I don't need.
I puzzled about this, coming home from a drive to pick up my grandson from school.
I want to buy stuff I have no need for.
1. A mirrorless camera. I am a fairly good photographer.... made some money off of it and enjoy it. I have a camera which I paid $2,800 for when it was new. It works good. A mirrorless camera would change nothing about my ability to take photographs. In fact, most of my favorite photos were taken with an iPhone 5.
Yet, I still want a mirrorless. I don't expect to buy one but it is still a temptation. I look a the adverts and wonder...
2. Electric bike. I would have no use for one but I want one. No. I will not get one but I want one.
I try to understand why I want stuff.
Do you get similar urges?
What I don't get.. Why ain't Pootie worried about our "red line?"
Or maybe we ain't got one?
So did the Russian ship sink?
Last night, some reports indicated that it was on its side and then sunk.
