Sundown

Sundown and…The last carnival

There are wonderful sunsets to behold, sunrises too.

There are songs about sundown, sunsets, and dark skies.

But a great deal of planning should be made for our final journey.

I used to take photos of cemeteries in different countries. I found headstones fascinating: some are beautiful, some traditional, and some humorous! Some have beautiful angels. In many countries, to save space, some are buried standing up. In India, widows used to be burned alive in public so that they could join their husbands.

One gets a good idea of cultures from headstones or the person that lived.

I used to cycle through a cemetery to work for two years. I was stopped as not allowed. It was full of trees, birds, bird song, and flowers - an overgrown wildlife space in the middle of a huge sprawling city, and traffic free.

I then took a back route over tree roots along a disused path. It was so peaceful, even a pleasant place to walk.

Unlike many people, I don't find cemeteries eerie or creepy, even at night.

Have you thought of an epitaph? If so, would it be serious or humorous? Tell a story.

I hope my faithful Collie awaits me should I go to heaven.

Post songs, music, images, gifs, memes, and videos.

Most of all, enjoy.

Respect all who post here….No politics or religious indoctrination, please.

Love songs for robots, and our approaching new world

Love songs for robots

Is the new vision of a virtual world, something to be enthusiastic about?

Was your life better before computers?

I look back on living in the countryside and walking my collie, life seemed more enjoyable, had few possessions, lived on a barge and a farm.

I loved tv in those days, now I don't have one.I used to love comedy, like Benny Hill, Fawlty Towers etc., and plays. Loved westerns and thrillers, not sure I enjoy many of todays sci-fi movies.

I cant imagine walking round wearing goggles in a virtual world.The world we have can be better, and it's reality, not always perfect.

I looked forward to normality after lockdowns and covid, but that never really happened.

I like the world we have/had - when times are good nothing better.

A day on the beach, on a boat, with friends. Dinner parties, parties, chatting with friends,

When tv first came out people sat in a dark room watching it, eating sandwiches with friends.

I like games too…Backgammon,Scruples,

Monopoly.

Used to play Dungeons on my first computer, so games might be good.

Perhaps we should improve real communications with other people on a day to day basis, rather than spending so much time on a parallel universe?

Reading for pleasure appears to almost be  a lost skill by many.

I overheard two teens discuss reading.

1/ I read a lot…I felt pleased.

2/ So do I

(great),

1/ I spend a lot of time on A M A Z O N.

(Help!).

Should we so readily be channeled into a metaverse

So, let's discuss our favorite movies, books and writers, past times, chat, post memes, gifs,

and music. Many here love music, gardening, the beach, and constructive and enjoyable communication.

Respect other commenters…enjoy your chats.

In The Pink

Don rose-colored specs today…we are in the pink…

In recent years pink became a popular color, so anything pink goes today, diamonds, and blonds: post…. memes, gifs, videos, songs with the word pink, blond or diamonds, images, idioms.etc. 

have fun.

Are diamonds really a girl's best friend? A dog is a man's best friend. I think I prefer dogs to diamonds.

So let's be in the pink.

Press YouTube to play.

How did pink become so popular? Was it Marilyn, Barbie? The old adage was pink for a girl, but it seems to be for everyone and anything these days, and even hair.

Is blond an advantage or disadvantage? Are blonds dizzy?

I believe blonds are underestimated?

Lots of hair colors are attractive…Blond Red, Brunette, Pink, pale blue, green.

Perhaps the most famous blond was Marilyn. She was well loved.

Remember no politics or religious comments and respect all commenters.

Enjoy!

Hello darkness my old friend

Our world is one of duality

We cannot have light without dark, day without night, summer without winter, sunrise without sunset.

There were wonderful quotes about darkness and also light, and songs too.

If you are as bright as the sun there will be no darkness in this world.

Even a stone at the bottom of a murky pond can produce fire.

I will admit that on many occasions, I have been afraid of the dark. I also remember my dog barking manically at something I could not see. Was he dreaming? 

I welcome the mornings, the light and the sun, and the sun on my skin, tho in Australia, with the night skies, it was never truly dark, yet once on the moors, It was so dark I could not see my feet. And the sun in Australia could burn in ten minutes.

I love to watch the changing skies, sunrises and sunsets, starry skies and the light of the moon.

Around my house, I have chandeliers, and beautiful lamps, mirrors that reflect light on cosy evenings, candles too.

Remember, no political or religious comments, post memes, gifs, quotations, music on opposites, light and dark.

Most of all enjoy!
