YouTube Tuesday with Red Green

In the tradition of Josh from "Its Tiger Time" who originated You Tube Tuesday, and with prompting by Mary Hudak-Collins here is a twofer from  a hero of mine, Red Green.
I have been following Red since the early 80's and he never fails to make me laugh. Every character in the show is a pretty accurate composite of one of my Canadian relatives (sorry...you know it's true). Enjoy!











And I will leave you with this...the Red Green Hover Round ;)

I'm just saying :)

Why Not?

When I started this blog some 2.5 years ago I made it a practice to promote other sites that I found of value and worth you reading time online. As I found a voice of humor and otherwise nonsense I strayed from that practice. I now ask you to put on your serious face and read on (aside from the fact that this involves Alejandro Guzman).

If we simply spew words for the sake of splitting air to make sound, where are we and what have we accomplished? The written word is the definition of romanticism, and without it we would not have language, communication, progress or a future.

We have reached an age where we have come full circle. In the beginning, history was recorded through the sharing of stories by spoken tale and then there was language and the printed word. Of the two largest book sellers in the world [Borders & Barnes & Noble], Borders is now extinct and B&N is shrinking by attrition. With the advent of virtual books, be it Kindle, E-Pub, etc., the traditional printed word is vanishing. Where will we learn from and how will we record the future?

We live in a virtual world…and our knowledge and legacy depend on a virtual procreation of history.

And so I bring you Blognostics.net. The brainchild of Jessica Brant and Alejandro Guzman, Blognostics is a repository for the written word. Poetry, stories, compilations, opinion, what have you. It is a sanctuary for the written word in a virtual world. So, why can’t this be a primary site for knowledge? There is no reason if you believe…and contribute.
I have always understood that things like Google, FaceBook, Twitter etc. all started with a single follower and Blognostics.net is no different. It is in fact a repository of the written word whether fiction, poetry or opinion, and will ultimately be a place where people view history.
As a Blognostics member/viewer you not only have the privilege of being among an elite group, you have a responsibility to broadcast its relevance and existence. If you are idle in communication, you contribute to the ignorance and miss-information of your prodigy (WOW, that sounded important). You stand on the precipice of a phenomenon and why wouldn’t you grasp it with your last breath and run with it. 

Let us leave a legacy of culture, truth, and history from many points of view. Join Blognostics, support it, promote it, contribute to it and as a founding member…make it the very best place to be. 

If you are a member of Blognistics and you are willing to leave recorded history to FOX News…quit! You must go now and burn slowly in the netherworld for all eternity. If you are not…take up your pledge and pronounce it a place of value.

I’m just saying.
