Everyone Goes to Heaven

Sometimes I wake up and find that a few things are just a little off kilter. Just waking up is an effort - you would think that after seven decades of existence that waking up would be a normal habit by now. But maybe it is just an age thing. Maybe that "get up and get at 'em" thing is past my prime. Too many different things come to mind at this proverbial fork in the mental road - 1) 70 years! really? - Where did it all go BUT I really don't have those kinds of thoughts - I have always been keen on my place in the age venue thing. 2) Still seventy years - whoosh!! 3) I don't really think I have hit my prime yet. I used to watch Jimmy Fallon every night - what energy that guy has! And the places he goes to on his show doing things Johnny Carson would never do & Carson was Funny!! My parents would watch him in the living room while all the kids were asleep - except me, sneaking into the hallway to peek through the door to watch "Here's Johnny!!" - But Fallon, kudos to the King of Being Incredulously Funny. Unfortunately, I have stopped watching Fallon not because he has done anything wrong or pissed me off or anything along those lines. I cancelled my television cable subscription. I am sitting and living totally off the Internet like all the smart people are doing these days. Yeah, I could still watch Fallon but I am finally catching up on all those shows that I have missed in the streaming paradise: Fleabag, Sprung, Suits.. Meghan Markle! Oh my goodness, Harry - I guess that should be Prince Harry. Wow what a show!

And talking about Prince Harry. I have been watching Netflix shows since I moved out of my ex-wife's cottage way back in 2012 that we bought together in 2000 after years of arguing about whether to stay in the Valley after moving out of Dallas in 1992. So much for my "stream-of consciousness" thought process.

My first Netflix show was Shameless! What a great show - I loved every minute of it except when Emmy Rossum left - it was still good, but she was the glue on that whole show - no offense to any of the other actors on that show - they were all fantastic. hmm, I wonder if they will have a revival? I hear BBT is trying a comeback - The neuroscientist is looking for an entry there but I think she and all the rest will get nice little cameo appearances on that revival. And, let's face it, I don't think the revival can ever match nor surpass the original.

Shhhameless! I watched that show by using the CD package - yeah, the one where they would mail the CD to you and you insert the thing into your PC and you watch the show and then you mail it back to them. So like once a week I could watch the show. I did that for about two years until my next PC did not have a CD-slot. But, the main reason I used the CD's was because I knew if I used the streaming platform, that I would never get any work done... much less go to work. I am addicted to the tube - I always have been - I always will be - except now the tube is on my PC, streaming Netflix and Prime Video and Hulu and whatever else I want to buy with my hard-earned money.

Well, I have to close here - I am pushing 1:20pm and I have yet to eat anything - I promised my brother I would buy him lunch... egads, he is going to eat catfish - the last time I ate catfish was at a restaurant off Spicewood Springs Road in Austin back in 1976. None of it stayed in my system... It was the last seafood I ever ate. It was ghastly as it was rejected in speed of regurgitation rates and seems to be worse than what I have been watching Princess Di do on the series "The Crown" on Netflix. Bulimia. How sad. Prayers to anyone who suffers from this illness.

Anyway, I will pick this up tomorrow. Have a great day and remember - Everyone goes to Heaven. Yes, I know I did not touch on it at all today but this is my belief system that gets me through each and every day. Some people live to watch TikTok, or watch videos online of some of those funny pet vids or what their adorable precious child did on camera or whatever the next fiasco uttered by the "I hate this politician-of-my-choice" and however stupid he or she or they are.

Till tomorrow then, and may God bless you and if you are atheist, then just have a great day, and come back tomorrow. Even atheists are going to Heaven. I firmly believe it.

p.s. In Bible Study, a lady questioned me about that belief and asked me if I thought there were any murderers in Heaven to which I replied, "of course, there are" and there are because everyone goes to heaven.
