in my life,part 4...

sometimes,i wish i was back in my childhood... growing up back in the late 60's,and the 70's,honestly was a real trip... the music was spectacular,and i miss those times,because i still listen to the music nowadays,and i get misty eyed... classic Motown,classic rock,and country music was simply great... anything from the Beatles,Rolling Stones,Led Zeppelin,and many other groups make me simply yearn for those times... remembering some strange and odd people,and simply walking around the city,on some days,makes me remember some great times... that time may be gone,but still sorely missed... living on five plus acres,and very few people around,and having acres of nothing but green fields to look at... remembering Bakersfield,and walking around the neighborhood,being a kid,at that time was just great... being a paperboy,once in a while,with my father,waking up at 2:30 am,going to Winchell's donut shop,and going to Dewars some Sundays,and sitting at the counter,and not forgetting spilling orange sherbet in the car,and on me,as it melted... going to New Jersey/NYC,for my graduation from high school,running fifteen miles on a humid and hot day around Sparta,New Jersey... going to old Yankee Stadium,and before that,on another day walking down Broadway,in NYC,on a hot humid summer day... what memories... i miss those times... i really do...

politics,and the NFL...

the FCC(Federal Communications Commission),and U.S. House delegate from D.C. are trying to force the NFL into changing the Redskins' name... the FCC has a petition before it wanting to punish broadcasters,announcers,and the NFL,under using the statutes of obscene content,in saying that the name,"Redskins",is a racial slur... in a related post,U.S. House delegate Eleanor Holmes-Norton(D-D.C.)has introduced a bill tying the (wanted)forced name change,into taking away the NFL's tax breaks that they get,from the I.R.S....
