Hey Bloggers, or whoever could be reading this blog. And this post happens to be about the Bank Loan Modification, which sounds like it has something to do with money, money and more money and also with modifying a bank loan. And by the way, has anyone ever heard of that mortgage meltdown that’s been in the news a lot lately that seems to have something to do with foreclosures and the meltdown of the economy, a recession and impending depression to where the Federal Reserve and Treasury seems to be bailing out the bailouts and can not seem to print up enough money fast enough to cover all of the national debt to where the government, or at least the economy seems as if it could be having one of those everything must go going out of business sales and everyone or at least a lot of people seem to be out of a job looking for a job. And so back to that bank loan, With those loan modifications, I imagine one can find a loan to save their home from that percentage and a mortgage thing. And if only one could bail at the whole world where housing, that basic necessity for human life, could be free and money would be required to exist as one of those human beings here on planet earth. No one is free when others are oppressed. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.
Music
I need to dance, for inspiration. Isn’t that the lyrics to some song somewhere. And music makes the world go round. And from what I have heard before, if one is troubled to no avail, one can always take to the dance floor to dance their troubles away, as music can make for merriment, maybe. And then welcome to the world of digital technology, the internet and the MP3 Search, where most of that music one can search for can now be found online more so than the local music store. And whatever happened to the eight track, cassette tapes and vinyl, those seemingly dinosaur mediums of long lore ago that have seemingly been replaces by modern communications technology, CD’s and those MP3’s. And hey, its seems like it can be a whole lot easier searching for that mp3 music on a MP3 search engine to be found on the computer anyway than trecking around town in search of that same song when it can now be found without ever having to leave home, or at least without ever having to leave a computer. And who are some of those artists to be found on mp3 out there such as Madonna, Usher, Michael Jackson, Depeche Mode, Joy Division, Shakira and a whole lot of other artists to be found in internet land. With MP3 searching, searching for that MP3 has never been easier.
Mardi Gras
Hey Bloggers, or whoever could be reading this blog, and on this day according to that American Gregorian calendar on the wall or desk, happens to be that New Orleans Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday party and celebration day and observance holy holiday. And it’s also snowing outside from where I’m at. And what can I blah blog about this day that has not already been said, where the colors and beads of purple, gold and green masks are to be found everywhere, except party and celebrate. And what there is to celebrate and party for I am not exactly sure, though here is a list of Mardi Gras events I found throughout my internet travels.
The L Magazine says there will be a Brooklyn Mardi Gras Parade somewhere around hipsterville Williamsburg, Brooklyn,
7:00pm – 11:55pm. Meet at the corner of McCarren Park and Driggs Ave.
SOB’s is having a Mardi Gras Celebration with the Sugartone Brass Band.
Brooklyn Bowl, that bowling rink in Brooklyn, is having a costume bash where they will be heading to that McCarren Park parade also.
And there must be a host of other Mardi Gras events to be found on the internet horizon, though my cyberworld travels are not taking me there now. Have a great Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday day.
Dell
Welcome to e the age of technology and computers, computer and more computers. And those personal computers seem to be all the rage these days and times where it seems as if every person has one of them, or at least every other person has one of them. And then there are those Dell computers, and I have seen those Dell computers around in coffee shops, businesses and homes everywhere. And those Dell computers rock. And then there is the maintenance of those printers that can come with those computers if one finds themselves using a printer to print out something from ones computers at some point or another. And then there are stores that sell those Dell Ink Cartridges. And it is great if one can find discount printer ink for replacing the ink in ones printer. And it can be even greater if one can find a store that sells different kinds of brands of ink for different kinds of printers. And what was life like before the invention of computers and those printers that go along with them. It seems hard to figure out how humanity managed to get along without these high tech devices. And what could life have been like a hundred years ago before the age of these modern electronics and devices we find in this world.
Time
Time, Father time. We all seem to meet him at some point as human being dwellers here on planet earth. And father time sees as if he can be a mystical figure, though he is also real. As who does not follow time sometimes, and who is not affected by the change in the time of days, week, months and years throughout life. And then there are clocks, the grandfather clock, watches and other time keeping devices that we seem to go by that tell us what to do at what hour each day sometimes. And there must be lots of other sayings about that word time. And one of them is how time passes us by so much that how often does one see those grandfather clocks anymore. And I remember those grandfather clocks from long lore ago, so much that they seem like a figment of my imagination. And to see one of those grandfather clocks today in someones room seems like it would be a trip back in time. And those grandfather clocks seem to be some sort of grand clocks, so grand that one can not miss them when they see them in a room.

And I found myself posting a blog entry about Haiti and mother earth a week ago or so as follows:
And according to that Gregorian calendar, it is Sunday on this day, day of God, the Sabbath, the day of rest, or is that Saturday. And yet I find myself blogging on this blog. And I have found myself reading, watching and listening to the news this past week of the latest natural disaster of an earthquake that has taken many lives along with it here on planet earth that has afflicted the city of Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. And it seems to be a tragic event with images of devastation that represent the fragility of life as human beings that seem as if they are taken from the apocalypse. And in those thoughts I thought to post some verses on the internet from that book the Bible in various translations in relation to life and death:
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.
A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
Man’s fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless.
All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.
Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?”
And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive.
Naked a man comes from his mother’s womb, and as he comes, so he departs. He takes nothing from his labor that he can carry in his hand. Even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?
No man has power over the wind to contain it; so no one has power over the day of his death.
Anyone who is among the living has hope–even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!
For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even the memory of them is forgotten
I know you will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living
for he will take nothing with him when he dies, his splendor will not descend with him
As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;
The wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
Man is like a breath; his days are like a fleeting shadow.
When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.
Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
As he came forth of his mother’s womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
And A Psalm
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
The business of birth, the business of death. Mortal man. We are all born to die.
SANYO
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine.
Technology. And everything, or just about everything in this world we live in these days and times seems to be about electronics and more electronics. And then welcome to the world of high tech technology where it seems as if everyone, or at least a lot of people are carrying around some sort of mobile high tech device gadget, fidgeting with it on the go. And then there is that photo of the SANYO Incognito that is posted in this blog post above. And from what I recall, Boost Mobile has one of those qwerty flip SANYO Incongitos. And with those SANYO Incognitos, you could be on your way to high tech communication city. Those SANYO Incognitos come with Bluetooth, a built in camera, camcorder, music and video player on them and you can also talk, text and surf the web on them. Now how about that for that Superman wrist watch technology of long lore ago. Who would of thought that one day this movie high tech superman technology could one day be a reality. And all this for a $50.00 a month unlimited plan with no contracts. No contracts with hidden fees and sky high numbers to be made up each month to pay, now that sounds awesome. With one of these phones, one can be on their way to social media city, as these phones seem to be all communications and more all the time.
Random Thoughts
Hey Bloggers, and here are more of those random thoughts that I find myself scribbling down on pieces of paper every so often in an attempt to maintain this blog with some sort of content whenever possible in my blogaholicness web 2.0 user generated contentness. And I am not exactly sure what to make of these thoughts:
Corporation. That word seems to sound like the word corruption, maybe. And for what reason? Are corporations corrupt? Is that the power and authority breeds corruption philosophy or something. And then for some reason or another, there were the words cursed at birth, the business of being born. The way one is born and arrives into this world. To be blessed or cursed at birth. Is it destiny, fate, numbers, the lottery. What are the odds to be cursed at birth. What’s that all about. And then again were thoughts; cards, the game of life. One can only play with the cards they are dealt with in the game of life. And what’s that all about I am not exactly sure either. And then there are those random thoughts scribbled of NYPD, as in I guess the New York Department of Police policies to be found in that city of New York, and Checkpoint Charlie on the highway asking for logbook and licenses stopping seemingly every single automobile in one of those road blocks waving automobiles over to the side of the road for what reason I am not exactly sure, except for the idea that one has a vehicle to be stopped maybe. And what comment is there to be said about Checkpoint Charlie, and that Checkpoint Charlie Museum to be found in that city of Berlin and country of Germany. “You are now leaving the western sector”, or something like that. And what, if anything does this have to do with a No Police State. Have a great random thoughts day.
Storage
Do you find yourself as one of those New Yorkers living in one of those closet sized shoe boxes with no storage space trying to be creative in the various ways to find more storage space short of stacking everything on top of each other, twenty shelves or more to a room. Or do you find yourself moving and in need of storage, or do you just need storage for some other reason or another not related to the aforementioned at all. Well there’s always Raleigh NC self storage. And judging from that title, it seems like one should be in or somewhere near Raleigh NC to use that storage. And so the idea of storage can be a valuable solution for those in need of storage space. And I think that at those self storage places one can get to their belongings in their storage space at most hours of the day and night when convenient. And having one of those storage spaces sure does beat having to have all of ones belongings stacked up to the ceiling with no where there could be nowhere to move or walk around those belongings, or having one of those storage spaces sure can beat simply having all of ones belongs piled up high on the sidewalk or what not. As storage spaces can be great for all your storage space needs.
Greetings
Hello, Greetings, Hola, Bon Jour, and just about any other language on can think of to say hello to. We all seem to greet one another as human beings here on planet earth at some point or another. And what better way to say hello during the holidays, or any other day than with Christmas Photo Cards . You know those greeting cards that can have one of those costumed printed photos of you on them. And I find it amazing in this high technology everything age the idea that one can have their own greeting card with a photo of themselves printed on it. And from what I know, you can choose not only holiday greeting cards, but other kinds of greetings cards with just about any kind of different theme on them one can think of maybe, with more than a few photos printed on them in just about any different color you can think of maybe. And those photo greeting cards can always make for great gifts and decorations around the house or ones dwelling. And what would the mantle be like without that photo card on top of it giving it that warm family and friends decorating feel. The photo card, it’s seems like it has come a long way away from the standard greeting card of long yore ago.
