Do photos tell the whole story? I don’t think so. Do you believe everything you see? I hope not.

So, which one of these shadows of me best represents me. I know shadows are strange, and can look all out of sorts, for sure, but these are just funny when you put them next to each other.

hahaha – two different versions of my shadow … First is the one that is square shaped. Makes me look all squat and umm … large!

Now this was the way it was at first in my phone camera. It makes me look long and tall doesn’t it! hahaha I like this one better, but it is not squared.

Monkey – A Silly Story

Monkey – A Silly Story

Coloring page shows 5 little monkeys. Two are upside down at the top. Three have red flowers, and two are holding bananas.

I wrote this and posted it in November of 2015. I’d forgotten all about it, but as I was browsing around here I found it again.

I was feeling silly, I guess, and took a bunch of movie titles and connected them with a story line. Here’s how it turned out:

MONKEY

Harvey was taking a sightseeing tour one Night at the Museum in Philadelphia. As he viewed a life-sized diorama of a cemetery, with a large Tombstone, he heard an eerie voice. It was a Ghost, relating some disturbing news. It seemed The Man With One Red Shoe had captured a monkey, and was trying to start an Outbreak with him.

“What is the matter with The Jerk?” Harvey said, aloud. He suddenly had a vision of some Gorillas in the Mist, down in Brazil, who were enraged at what the man was doing. They were so close to Bringing Down the House on the man, but needed back-up help to stop him.

Harvey knew he had to do something, to save that little monkey, and the world. He Summoned, by text message, Donnie Darko, the Bounty Hunter, and his Army of Darkness, and begged them to go down to Brazil in order to stop the man.

Donnie Darko, and his Army of Darkness agreed to help, and he was Gone in 60 Seconds, to go on this mission of Saving Private Ryan (the monkey’s name) from this tragedy. Along the way, his army of Young Guns marched with him, down Revolutionary Road. He told them the Ugly Truth of what was going on, and they would have to stop the man by using Necessary Roughness as their weapon.

It was a long journey…it took them 9 1/2 Weeks to reach the area. They kept marching From Dusk til Dawn without stopping. When the army got there, it took only 8 Seconds to The Hour to stop the man. They’d gone all Raging Bull, kicking him all the way Back to the Future where he was never seen again. The monkey, and the world was saved.

Drain

Drain

I don’t really know Morse Code, but I tried tapping some sort of rhythm anyway. You know, just in case.

Sometimes I see a skinny little leg, other times an eye peeking out of the drain.

I talk to him several times a day … he says nothing.

He’s a big feller, for what he is. But he’s shy.

I don’t know how old he is, but can’t be very old. His kind don’t live long lives.

I figure he’s lucky to be living in the drain here, instead of someone else’s drain.

Someday soon I will lure him all the way out. I will catch him for re-location.
