CRISPINS CRITTERS

[AU24K]

For Scott
Joke of the Day

My advanced form of Meditation..........

1. Take a deep breath.

2. Picture yourself near a stream.

3. Hear the birds softly chirping in the cool mountain air.

4. Recall that no one knows your secret place.

5. You are in total seclusion from the hectic place called the world.

6. The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall in the distance fills the air with a cascade of serenity.

7. The water is crystal clear.

8. You can easily make out the face of the person you are holding underwater.

See? Youre smiling already.

Yes, My Brother,

That made my day!
(all except #8 )

I can take you to a location or three that I know of that has the first 7.....

I think that I've even got pictures and short "YouTube" videos somewhere in the interwebs....

Screw the interwebs!
It ain't the same thing as really....

BEIN' THERE!

Thanks Brother!

My little buddy really did it today. Bases loaded Casey at bat.... Hehe....he drives it deep left field, scores 3 runs, he gets a double out of it! Last inning, runner on second he smacks it to deep right field, runner scores. We win 8-4. He hit in 4 out of the 8 runs, gets MVP today WOOOHOOO!!!! I'm so proud!!!! Heck I'm even proud when he strikes out. He's playing ball and having fun that's all I care about!

How fortunate you are to share time, guidance and love with this young man!

Be sure to discuss that he may not always bat a thousand.

Life has a way of proving this precept.

Prepare him for failures along the way.
Teach him to seek ways to improve.
Teach him that he can achieve anything that he desires.
Teach him how to win graciously.
Teach him to lose with dignity.

Teach him your Values and....Well, I guess you got this, Bro!



Always my Best,

Scott

thank you so much! I appreciate your comments. As a soldier I have taught my boys my core values. We have 3 rules to live by and they can repeat these rules at a moments notice. The little guy has learning disabilities, but.....

My rules
Never leave your dive buddy
Always believe in yourself
Never quit

His teachers have been amazed, but he struggles. They liken him to a Pitbull. He won't quit! Funny.....that was my call sign on Active Duty..... Have I passed on my values? Yet to be seen, but they are tried daily and my boys what was that line from " Outlaw Josey Wales?" Oh yeah Must endeavor to persevere. I'm trying buddy lord knows I'm trying. Thanks Scott for the encouragement. Hey, number 8 is funny haha

A quick thought of my "rules."

#1 You can quit when you die.
#2 You are not allowed to die.
#3 You will always be your Brother's Keeper. You may learn his name later.
#4 If there are any questions, you will read the rules again.

HOO-RAH!

Best,

Scott

The gist of my Presentation concerns VA PTSD Facilities in Georgia and Florida.

Showing their locations, (Only 3 in Georgia)
Another layer showing Vet population by Congressional district, the next shows my proposals for potential locations for PTSD facilities based upon Vet population and the lack of facilities in the area.

I used the matrix of a 50 mile distance....

I then plan on presenting ways to further pursue the information that I've gleaned to present to District members of Congress to consider for Bills.....

My Professor is in awe....

I'm hoping to pass this class.

And Where's Rodney?


Best,

Scott

 

[AU24K]

I found myself lost again, looking through pictures of events and Family, also looking for Rodney....

I have a picture, somewhere, within this box of photos.....


I really don't like to look in this box...
The "Picture Box...."

Though what I may find again may remind me of times passed that were enjoyable,
It always eventually leads to tears....

Here's a blast from the past!

Me.
Just received my MOS, assignment, and my first night in Germany, after the long flight......
After learning of my duty station, etc.

View attachment 1306712
"Say WHAT? WHERE? Really?"
"OK! I'm down for a fight and ready..... 'All In' Captain! Let's do this!"



And then, later....

View attachment 1306714
Some things I can remember... That's a Michelob that I'm holding.
Somewhat difficult to find in Germany in the 70's.

I still have dreams of this time period........Most are not pleasant.....

Can you say, "Adapt?"





Some may claim that Ole Scotty is superficial, But, in reality,
I'm lost....

My post may confuse you at times as to where I may stand upon current issues....

Good. Now we are both confused. But let's talk about what we're confused about....

Ole Scotty may just be insane after all!

"Define your interpretation of insanity, Sir...."

A common thought of a genius or a madman?

How 'Bout you? No? Didn't think so.
Me neither....

Still, a common and frequent thought....


A bunch of old White guys playin' some music. Guess you had to been there to feel it.....
NO MORE EXCUSES, Scotty It's...

SHOWTIME!




HEY!

Get yer a$$ up and bust a groove! Dig?!
It's Saturday night and I'm gonna graduate in a week!!!!

Y'all get funky and I'll take care of the academics, OK?

What's in your bowl?

PARTY ON!

When I awake tomorrow,

I will jolt full up. Again.

And face the day.

I got this, Y'all!

Please,

Just like "Picasso in the books."

And,

Always,

Honor a Vet!





Meaning?

Well, yeah!

Look at her guitar!

A what"

C'mon, Y'all...

Best,

Scott

Hey ,managed to get the computer to load T-Net again ,not sure how but messed with lots of stuff..

Gettin soft ,over did something... and only minor details carried out today.
V.F.W. trauma ( brain) and others at a function this weekend I should be at like last year to try to help a while.
Tomorrow I'll try to pry ,or just go. C'mon coffee power .. and call on reserves from marrow.

Hang in there 2 G.F. .
Reads like Jr.'s kickin it!
Don't know his mind but some disabilities are real ,others are simply different but un recognized wiring's.
Kickin it in ball means he can power through some ruts just fine.
There are folks can't swim or crack a ball . They are not labeled disabled though that depends on ones perspective.
Enough money and the nonswimmers can run around in an empty pool.

Better have lots of faith if going to sea though.

Book learnin vs ouch I ain't goin that way again. Or ,so that's how that works/worked and street smarts have their place too.


Scott ,if you are up for travel that affects which point to follow first.
If lookin to take root ,where ya wanna be in five years?

Not worried about government takeover at all. Not much more they can do to make things worse. Two parties both squeezing the working class as much as they can to satisfy either the rich or the lazy.

Friend,

I'm not sure where roots grow best for Scott....

Here in Georgia, I have stayed the longest.

Many places I have been.

Many more places I haven't been....

Seems I'll always be a ramblin' Man....



Best,

Scott

Hmmm...

"Sinner? Saint?"

Am I the only one to see what you've done here?

From the album, "Saints and Sinners,"



Best,

Scott

A "Theme" happening here or what? You know I get a piece of the action, right?
RIGHT??"

"Here I Go Again"

I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again

Tho' I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go...

An' I've made up my mind,
I ain't wasting no more time

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time...

But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go,
Here I go again...

[AU24K]

Ah! Time increases as an enemy....Again

In a few hours I'll meet again with my Professor, concerning issues I have noted in the last 16 hours that I have been working on my Presentation.

While getting loaded the last coupla hours....

Sleep?
Tonight?

Nah....

Best,

Scott

For real!

I just now couldn't think of what day it is.

Right now. Today....



Must mean that I should study harder, while I can....

Scott

It really wouldn't matter in the mountains, would it?

 

[AU24K]

Let's get real. Old timey....shall we?




"Informer"

[CHORUS:]
Informer
You know say Daddy Snow me, I'm gonna blame
A licky boom-boom down
'Tective man says Daddy Snow stabbed someone down the lane
A licky boom-boom down
Informer
You know say Daddy Snow me, I'm gonna blame
A licky boom-boom down
'Tective man says Daddy Snow stabbed someone down the lane
A licky boom-boom down

Police-a them-a they come and-a they blow down me door
One him come crawl through through my window
So they put me in the back of the car at the station
From that point on I reach my destination
Now the destination reached was the East Detention
Where they whipped down my pants and looked up my bottom

[CHORUS]

The bigger they are they think they have more power
They're on the phone me say that on hour
Me for want to use it once to call my lover
Lover who I'm gonna call is the one Tammy
I love her from my heart down to my belly
Yes Daddy Snow, I'm the coolest daddy
The one MC Shan and the one that is Snow
Together we are like a tornado

[CHORUS]

Listen for me ya better listen for me now
Listen for me ya better listen for me now
When I rock the microphone, I rock it steady
Yes sir Daddy Snow me are the Article Don
When I'm at a dance they say, "Where you come from?"
People then say I come from Jamaica
But I'm born and raised in the ghetto
That's all I want you to know
Pure black people man that's all I man know
My shoes used to tear up and my toes used to show
Where I'm born is the one Toronto, so

[CHORUS]

Come with a nice young lady
Intelligent, yes she's gentle and irie
Everywhere I go I've never left here at all
Yes, me Snow roam the dance
Roam the dance in every nation
You'd never know, me Daddy Snow
I am the Boom Shakata
I'll never lay down flat in one cardboard box
Yes, me Daddy Snow I'm gonna reach to the top, so

[CHORUS]

Why would he? [repeat]

[MC Shan:]
Me sitting round cool with my dibby dibby girl
Police knock my door, lick up my pal
Rough me up and I can't do a thing
Pick up my line when my telephone ring
Take me to the station, black up my hands
Trail me down 'cause I'm hanging with the Snowman
What am I gonna do, I'm black and I'm trapped
Smack me in my face, took all of my gap
They have no clues and they wanna get warmer
But Shan won't turn informer

[CHORUS]
