The Animals, Tattoos and Music.
The Animals…
Were an amazing pop group.
Their rendition of House Of The Rising Sun was undoubtedly one of the best.
Then they supposedly faded away.
I never knew the reason that they faded away, and just came across one reason, it makes an interesting story.
Many pop groups coined their name.
The Yakuza…Japanese mafia were one of the main reasons the group disbanded.
When I was in Japan, I was warned about the Yakuza. I went for two periods to a Buddhist temple on Mount Fujiyama. The Yakuza hustled foreign people to provoke fights.I didn’t meet any and was very protected by a group of Japanese including the monks and always had a crowd of people around me.
They infiltrated the Temple I visited on Mount Fujiyama and followed Buddhists around playing hymns on transistor radios to provoke. heard they destroyed foreign businesses by burning them down…
Fortunately, I never met any. They identify themselves with tattoos, and wore orange robes. Extortion was their main business, and they are extremely dangerous. Maybe my spirit white tiger animal protected me? Also, Yakuza have tiger tattoos but not of white tigers…yellow ones.
What animal spirit would you choose? We have two Wolf spirit guardians here, one tiger and a part dragon. For what reason would you choose an animal spirit?
What animal would you choose to be if you were an animal?
Do you have any tattoos? What is your opinion of tattoos? I’m glad I didnt have one, the main reason being they don’t look good on aging skin.
Animals love music too.
So, most of all, enjoy the discussion. Post memes gifs, music, trailers, and chat with friends.
Stay off politics and religion, please.

Bring Back Humour….A Trip Down Memory Lane
What has happened to the cheerful people that I used to meet?
I seem to listen to a lot of complaining. Few seem really happy anymore.
The buses don’t run on time, they are overcrowded, the roads are up…bills are high,
Etc., etc.,
I used to watch TV programs like Allo Allo, Benny Hill, and Little Britain, occasionally. Life was fun.
Now, I see younger people tap tapping on their phones, walking along, on the bus, no interaction or socializing.
So let’s be light hearted and laugh…Some of your priceless gifs and memes are here to chuckle over.
Forget your troubles and join in, chat, post music old favorites, movies.
Most of all enjoy.

Please stay off of politics and religion, except our beloved resident preacher.
Time Of Our Lives….
Time Waits for No Man.
Time Flies.
Our lives are governed by time.
We cannot have a day without light,
light without dark.
Winter never fails to turn to Spring.
Can we cross time barriers?
Sometimes,we can…
We can have premonitions or experiences of de ja vue.
❤️🕊️🌹🌙🌖🌘🌎🌓⭐️🪐🌝
And sometimes we can cross time limits to go back into the past to change our future…a rare but possible experience.
You may believe in reincarnation and glimpse a past life or remember experiences.
It is possible when travelling to go forwards or backwards in time. Australia is ahead of us.
We also have the technology to travel into space or even to create a Time Machine.
The stars that we see are in the past, and we have even had glimpses of the beginning of our universe. Everything is recorded in the universe, every thought, action or deed.
When you meditate, do you go back to a happy period in time or visualize the future that you wish for?
Live every moment, and do not waste the time that you have. Use time wisely.
Many poets have contemplated on time. W H Davies wrote…
What is this time to stand and stare…without a care.
Few in today’s fast pace have the time to even watch the changing of seasons, especially living in cities and under the pressure of work. But time is also to enjoy.
How do you spend your time? Work? Play? Hobbies etc.?
Post gifs, memes, and music mentioning time. Chat with friends.
Remember, no politics or religious comments. Most of all, enjoy.

Superstition V Magic 🧿🧿🧿⛩️⛩️⛩️🍀🍀🍀
I would have said I was NOT superstitious; however, I do adhere to some superstitions.
If salt is spilled, I throw it over my left shoulder to ward off bad luck.
Brides should have:
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
A black cat crossing my path I consider lucky.
In Italy, a black cat is unlucky.
Do you consider thirteen unlucky?
I don’t like walking under ladders.
Horseshoes should be the right way up. This way up, the luck will run out.
Magic is a person’s influence to make something happen.
Religion is a belief in a supernatural power.
In Buddhism, by chanting, you control your environment. That is called Esho Funi, and is a strong force by a determination.
Are you superstitious? Have you ever cast a spell? Played a Mantra? Picked a four-leaf clover? Worn a lucky or protective ring? Crossed your fingers? Picked a pin up to have good luck? Wished upon a shooting star?
Remember no politics or religion, please.
Post memes, gifs, trailers, music, and chat with friends, cross your fingers for good luck.
Enjoy
