Quick haunting note from a German writer for the late night . . .
Franz Kafka said: "The meaning of life is that it stops."
It just doesn't seem that way sometimes during a City Council biz session.
And so we pick things back up with a quick look at another victory celebration that will now be retired to the dustbin of forgotten history just like all those people who gathered in front of Union Station to dedicate Liberty Memorial - A monument to the "War To End All Wars" that didn't even come close. Now good, bad, young and old in this photo - They're all dust . . . Even if some of them had a good time by standing on top of the old school train station amid the festivities.
And so the 1985 Kansas City World Series victory parade becomes not quite so important, even if it looked far more fun than today's corporate sponsored and spy cam captured festivities . . .
Hopefully, and for better or worse we'll have more for the morning update as time marches on . . . STAY TUNED!!!
Keep it upbeat, not so melancholy. More boobs and NEVER forget the smooth or the funny.
ReplyDeleteMore than anything, KEEP THE FIRE.
"The meaning of life is that it stops."
ReplyDeleteOne of my best friends died suddenly, & unexpectedly, Sunday. He was found sitting in this chair ... gone.
RIP
Michael "Hollywood" Sawyer
1961 - 2015
He was a 6'5", 300 lbs, half Italian, half Anglo, loud & proud, larger than life ... gone.
Probably wanted away from you.
ReplyDeleteByron killed him with his stupidity and since he was half Italian he probably called him a Nazi one to many times
ReplyDeleteMichael "Hollywood" Sawyer? If he was a friend of yours then I'm glad he's dead.
ReplyDeleteMay he rot in Hell.
You need to find out what's in the water that makes everyone in the Kansas City area such assholes.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of your friends death Byron
ReplyDeleteThe article makes a good point. That the time you live in will be forgotten by future generations only seen in photos. But those photos also tell us that people of the past are not as different as those today.
A friend of mine put it best: life is for the living
I thought of you Tony when I read this quote from another great German writer.
ReplyDelete"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed."
You certainly do that. But who said it?
HITLER, BUDDY!!!
Sure, repeatedly told lies might be believed by the LIAR as much or more so than by others. Who can't forget these jewels? "I did not have sex with that woman"; "If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance", and "None of the documents were classified when sent to my personal server".
Deleteah, the 80s the good old days. when white was mighty.
ReplyDeleteLiked the old 9 footage, thanks TK.
