FOR: gaybratbieber.com AKA: tom jones and liberace. Throw more panties!
During a personal
milestone in any individual's life, birth and death for example, it is a time
for absolute peace. But the brutal common media does not respect this… unless
of course it’s about the cameraman or the commentator’s personal life. Then
perhaps (not likely for long) might they appreciate the need for absolute
privacy. With all of this celebrity sucking, don’t count on it. This deep
snooping will not abate.
Let Mandela, Prince Phillip
and others of good note pass away on a quiet note, you morons among the common
media. Consider. Consider your own relationships to the personality of the
infinite and then consider how would YOU like it if everybody stuck a camera
and microphone in your face during your last moment of prayer… you bloody morons.

We are the words we hear. We are the words we speak. Speaking is a way of sustaining mental health. Agree or not to agree doesn't matter. Engage and allow your humanity to be engaged. Eventually you may discover peace through words of grace.

Finding a Family
After 40 years someone in my immediate family found a broom and found me. About which I, as a great uncle, uncle, brother etc, am pleased.

Close the zoos.
They are not the healthy environment for any animal. Send the animals back to their familes, their natural territories. Let elephants prance with their cousins. Let the tigers find their prey.
Open more museums and science centres for children and the rest of us to understand the globe we live on. Punishing animals for our minor entertainment and little edification is worse than inhumane.

One day in California by the sea I heard the voice of angels laughing and when I looked upward at the tumbling clouds a face appeared. Wise and etched with compassion. Not a grim countenance but a hint of a smile which that day helped me to recover. That same day I heard – and I’m quite sure – that “still small voice” which spoke the one word which also helped me. That word was “persevere” and that face was yours.
And having persevered, I met you. Thank you for everything since then.
Enjoy your youthfulness and during those moments when you are frightened, perhaps you will recall that “There is no time. There never was. Just your relationship to the truth… and perhaps for you the extreme and intense peace of knowing.”
As always dear: best wishes. - Harry

Honey Did I Miss You?
Honey did I miss you?
Where were you?
Where were you?
I was alone, alone.
Waiting. Waiting. Where were you?
Did you pass me by? Pass me
by?
I was there, waiting. Waiting.
Honey, did I miss you?
Be beside me. Beside me. I need you here beside me.
With all our science, which is good science brought to us by
your neighbourhood geek, can’t we find another response? A response to conclude
this outrageous inciviltity?
Yes. Yup, there is an answer.
The sleep bomb.
Use drones to drop and fumigate these
bastards with the consequence of their immediate sleep… and make sure they wake
up with a hangover and go home whining to mommy.
Happy and Prosperous New Year to all and sundry - (whomever THEY may be).
Having watched a few episodes of Duck Dynasty I was inspired to create my own whistle call.
Background: In case you didn't know, Duck Dynasty is based on a real life entrepreneur whose family is making a fortune selling duck call whistles.
So here's my fortune coming along: I have invented (patent pending) a 'Crat Call.' Very simple: next time you're dealing with (either in person or on the phone) a bureaucrat, and are getting much frustrated, just blow my Crat Call. It sounds like a troublesome and ineffective series of grunts related to your worst bowel movement.
Blow it long and hard.
Send me a cheque. Or am I supposed to send a bill first? GST? HST?
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth,
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Excuse our trespasses as is Your Way,
That we may excuse them who trespass against us this day.
And help us not to be led into chaos and temptation,
And deliver us from ignorance and conflagration.
For thine is the kingdom,
The power and the glory.
Here with You,
For ever and ever.
Amen.

EASY ANSWER FOR THE STREETS
All of us can stop the killing of minds from drug sales by making one quickie change in the law: All solicitors of crack cocaine, "rock, powder" etc. will be charged and jailed. Any voice soliciting, needs to get off the street. That will stop the suppliers - Hell's Angels who send their kids to private schools while poisoning your children with $2 hoots. Stop the solicitors. Charge them. Jail them ... and if we had any guts, charge the Hell's 'Angel' every chance we get no matter how many Super-Valu's they control or how many laundries they use to wash their dirty money.
So we survived December 21st. Say good-night to the Mayans. We can survive the wrath of the Hell's Weanies.
AND THEN MY LOVER SAID:
He asked me to write him a poem on the spot so here it is:
All ways,
Your ways,To my happy surprise Young men awakening wise.
Last summer, strolling through CrabPark,
I encountered people carrying paper plates of hot food and then saw the
cue, at least 100 strong. Having time to kill I opted to join the freebie
feed-in and just as I did was informed by a young woman that it was for abused native
Indian lesbians only – some sort of support protest against deadbeat or violent
men. I felt a little foolish for not noticing that the line-up was indeed all
women with dark hair. (But I suppose the hot dogs might have been a giveaway.)
Oh well, something good did come out of this rebuke of my
presence in line there. An inspiration I can only describe as profound and
meaningful descended upon me with the weight of a pregnant dove. In keeping with
my deep sense of social justice for all, next summer at Crab Park I will be
hosting a freebie feed-in (pulled pork) of my own: for stuttering, beakless Jewish
homosexual grandfathers with hairlips. (No ringers please.)

Today’s
hero is Malala. This 15 year old spoke out on behalf of the girls and women of
her homeland and around the world where they are oppressed and refused an
education. A member of the Taliban crept up behind her and shot her in the
head. Thankfully, she is recovering. The creep who shot her hasn’t been apprehended
yet. Maybe we should look behind his mother’s skirt? Or the robes of his
Taliban pals? In what dark dimension of thought do those a-holes actually
consider the shooter a hero? SPECIAL NOTE TO TALIBAN WANNABES: A free course in Suicide Bombing is now accepting applications. Come and meet your fellow fanatics on a remote island off British Columbia's beautiful west coast where privacy is assured and free bombware provided. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime event!
While rows and rows of nicely attired soldiers, cadets and
veterans all handsomely parade in front of cenotaphs around our country this
Sunday, would it surprise any veteran or members of veterans’ families if the
Veterans’Affairs bureaucrats were throwing an in-house Bureaucrat Appreciation
Party for their effective stonewalling of veterans’ services? The party bill,
of course, to be picked up by the taxpayers who are naive enough to believe
that their taxes are there to assist these war heroes and their families.
With so much largesse to be had, maybe the
‘crats would also appreciate their own uniform to parade in? Maybe a flashy
t-shirt emblazoned with a bird-flip in the shape of a cenotaph? I have the design here. To order, given your
usual time schedule, I’ll place inventory in all sizes in my warehouse of
mothballs.
