Social Distortion-Story Of My Life

🎶In class I dreamed all day, about a rock 'n' roll weekend...🎶
🎶So I sit at the edge of my bed, I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw love song..."🎶

Have literally just listened to this song, so of course it was the first thing to come to mind when I saw this image.

House Rep. Melanie Stansbury, said Trump is in the Epstein files numerous times.

His rape of 13 year old Katie Johnson is documented in the files.

Trump is scared. He forced the FBI to scrub his name from the Epstein Files.

This saucy little #ZebraFinch was so curious about me, laying flat on the ground to get this shot, that he moved closer to check me out! Personality in spades.

A close up shot of a tiny Zebra Finch on a gravel path. He is looking directly at the lens with his head cocked to the side in curiosity. His bill, the sides of his head, his talons, and a part of his wings are a bright orange, while the rest of his plumage is black, white, and grey.

Holding close and letting go;
This juxtaposition,
This ebb and flow.

I did not expect that she'd want to go.
I was not prepared to be left alone.

In 2011 my world had exploded. I was broken. I went home to #Barbados to recoup. I sat alone on the sand in the rain. Suddenly the #sky opened up to reveal the #sunset over the Caribbean Sea. It felt like something I'd been searching for; it felt like hope.

The Caribbean sea can be seen at the bottom of the frame. At the top is a very dark cloudy sky with one area opened up to reveal a bright orange sunset.

In an attempt to raise my spirits, a thoughtful friend got me this to add to my collections of both vinyl and of all things Cure– The Cure Acoustic Hits double picture disc set. About as good as a therapy session, in my opinion.

For #MacroMonday, one from last Spring. When it's cold and dreary out, I like to go through photos of warmer, more colourful times in attempt to distract from the gloom. So here's a #tulip. 🌷

Breaking my own rule about one song per artist for this final post.

Day 30: Depeche Mode, It's No Good, from the '97 album Ultra. A song that still hits hard.

Day 28: Sober by Tool

Not their best song but still a great song, and their first song that I heard on a demo tape in 91 then on 93s undertow. The song that made me a fan.

Day 27: I'm Afraid of Americans, David Bowie, from the 1997 album Earthling.

Not only is this an absolutely fantastic song, I never cease to be amused by watching Trent Reznor chase Bowie through the streets in the video.

#BirdOfTheDay theme #OnTheEdge.

Yeah, I'd be contemplating for a good long time before jumping in that green lake too.

Cue The Cure, From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea (aptly somber mood music). 😂

This rebellious little #mallard #duckling went rogue. He was contemplating taking a swim without mama and the other ducklings. She came angrily quacking at him, and he rejoined the rest of the group, defeated. 😂

Day 26: Why by Annie Lennox, the first single from her first solo album, 1992s Diva. (Talk about coming out of the gate running!)

I have a particular emotional attachment to this song. It's amazing how some songs can help get you through the darkest of times.

This little dude chose to hang with me mornings in Barbados, along with several other species.
Okay, there may have been crumbs from breakfast involved but I still say they enjoyed my company!

Day 24: Jane's Addition, Three Days, from Ritual de lo Habitual, 1990

This was meant to be their final album, and Lollapalooza '91 was meant to be a one-off festival serving as their farewell tour. Neither ended up that way. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is Christopher a fierce panther now that he's 2yo? :) I bet he thought he was a Very Mighty kitten.

My Dee was 1.5 lbs smaller than his sister and littermate. Now he's 21 lbs.

Another for #BlueSkyArtShow #small and #Caturday.

When you're tiny but don't know it, and think that you're a big ferocious predator!

(Flashback to 2 years ago when my Christopher was a 1.5 lb rescue.)
