Child do you really understand the miracle before your eyes.
Sometimes you hear, “Why?” Technology gives you a choice.
The world around us is full of the technology that the world of old has never
known. Jesus and Ghandi would approve, Moses would thank the god he visited
with. I sit in the year 2026 and I am an old man and listen. I write and say my
goodness what a world I live in.
Child do you really understand the miracle before your
eyes.
I just saw a movie about what the government did and the parents of the child did not know what the government did.
In Ukraine the children of that era are using that intelligence.
What am I talking about?
When we bought our Commodore computer, we did not know
what the government was doing. We thought it was great that our children were
learning about computers and using games they were teaching children how to use
computers. As the evolution continued, I understood what was happening. At first,
I thought it was great and then in the year 2001 (twenty some years later I
understood). The government in the 1980’s were teaching our young adults how to
manipulate joy sticks. Using the joy sticks to fly planes , move cars, drive
tanks, handle machine guns and today to fly drones. We see the results in
school killings and war in Ukraine where drones and joy sticks are killing
Russian soldiers in kill zones.
Our parents just think that our kids are downstairs
playing video games. In the 1980’s it was our nation’s government grants to universities
and colleges and new computer companies to create games that children could use
and learn.
Now that I am old and the great leader does not listen. I told the world that the man was evil. I grew up with a grandmother, that taught me the great thought. I knew I stuttered and I cried and I played. My voice was quiet and not known. In my early teens I read the books of saints and wondered why the world did not listen. In the movies they had news reels, and they said and I saw Ghandi and Hitler, Ghandhi sitting and spinning cloth and Hitler standing tall and his arm stretched in his wicked strength. I saw the reels of war on islands, fire burning into the cave of mankind. I was young and I wondered why, I cried at night to sleep. Every night I cried and thought why and went to sleep.
I am listening to George Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue. It
is an American Jazz Piece for piano and jazz band. George created it for a full
orchestra. This photo below is Paul Witmans orchestra who played the first
concert of George Gershwin Rhapsody in Blue with George on the piano.
“Rhapsody in Blue is
a 1924 musical composition for solo piano and jazz band by George
Gershwin. Commissioned by bandleader Paul Whiteman, the work combines
elements of classical music with jazz-influenced effects and
premiered in a concert titled "An Experiment in Modern Music" on
February 12, 1924, in Aeolian Hall, New York City. Whiteman's band
performed the rhapsody with Gershwin playing the piano.
George lived a boyhood not unusual in New York tenements,
which included running around with his friends, roller-skating and misbehaving
in the streets. Until 1908, he cared nothing about music. Then, as a
ten-year-old, he was intrigued upon hearing his friend Maxie Rosenzweig's
violin recital. The
sound, and the way his friend played, captivated him. At about the same time,
George's parents had bought a piano for his older brother Ira. To his parents'
surprise, though, and to Ira's relief, it was George who spent more time
playing it as he continued to enjoy it.
In 1913, Gershwin left school at the age of 15 to work as
a "song plugger" on New York City's Tin Pan Alley. He earned $15
a week from Jerome H. Remick and Company, a Detroit-based publishing firm with
a branch office in New York. His first published song was "When You Want
'Em, You Can't Get 'Em, When You've Got 'Em, You Don't Want 'Em" in 1916.
It earned the 17-year-old 50 cents.
George was born on September 26, 1898, in the Snediker
Avenue apartment. His birth certificate identifies him as Jacob Gershwine, with
the surname pronounced "Gershvin" in the Yiddish-speaking community.
He was named after his grandfather, and, contrary to the American
practice, had no middle name. He soon became known as George, and
changed the spelling of his surname to "Gershwin" around the time he
became a professional musician; other family members followed suit[
after Ira and George, another boy, Arthur Gershwin (1900–1981),
and a girl, Frances Gershwin (1906–1999), were born into the family.
The family lived in many different residences, as their father changed
dwellings with each new enterprise in which he became involved. They grew up
mostly in the Yiddish Theater District. George and Ira frequented the
local Yiddish theaters, with George occasionally appearing onstage as an extra.
Gershwin's parents were both Jewish immigrants from the
Russian Empire.”

Can the world around me be conquered?
There is an amazing amount of color around me, at this
point in time. I am at a spot on this planet in a home in Marion, Kentucky. Why
am I here; well, some time ago I was born in Pasadena, California. My mother
gave birth to me at the Woman’s Clinic next to the Huntington, Hospital in
Pasadena, California.
I can hear things around me, at cat scratching, a movie
on TV and some ringing in my ears that sounds like a room full of crickets.
I will pause for a moment and watch the movie on TV. I stopped
watching the movie.
I am just sitting and I am thinking of fixing something
to eat.
The State of Kentucky voted for Donald Trump and Western
Kentucky would do it again. The laws say he cannot be our president again and
Kentucky would be happy with it; yes if he was president again.
I am watching movies and turning them off in the middle.
It would not surprise me if the man came to my door and said goodby.
Social Pressure is what happens to everyone. When I was walking
the planet with no money and loved it. The idea came my way to earn some money.
Social Pressure led to a job to earn money.
Today Israel is being left behind because of social
pressure. Iran’s under ground worms that are digging under Lebanon and bombing
Israel are being left alone. One of the reasons for the war in Iran was to stop
the worms that Iran trains to kill citizens in other countries. Because of oil
money Israel is being the scapegoat. Iran’s Lebanon worms are bombing Israel
and Donald Trump is helpless. Losing money and world social pressure is putting
Israel in a helpless situation.
I saw CNN’s reporters blaming Israel for the war in the
Gaza Strip and Lebanon. It is the Iran worms under those countries that started
the war. It was Iran’s trained worms that blew up the Twin Towers.
I have You Tube Premium. I just saw a biography of
Stephen King on that video Internet website. It is something everyone should watch.
As I was moving around You Tube, I saw some young adults doing
a cover of a Marty Robbins song. So, I went over on the YouTube Internet
Website and found the Marty Robbins Album called, “The Gunfighter Ballards and
Trail Songs”
I got up early. I made a cup of coffee and checked on my
wife. She is sleeping and the orange cat is laying with her. I sit and watch early morning TV. An hour
later I saw her awake, I asked if she would like something for breakfast. She says,”
Scrambled eggs and toast.” I get my cane my third leg if my leg buckles. Mostly
it is not necessary but sometimes my legs do not want to stay upright, and I
use the cane to adjust in the mornings. I make her scrambled eggs and toast. I
have some of the pizza she made Sunday. I read my book and watch TV. I take my cane
and go get something to drink and I take medicine. An hour later I checked on
my trash cans. My wife gets up and feeds the cats and I help her. I make a cup
of coffee and watch TV. My computer is working fine. I will write about the day’s
thoughts. About noon I check on my trash cans. The trash man has come by. I put
on my shoes, hat, and coat and go outside go down the ramp and up the driveway
go up the street and get my trash cans. I stop and check for mail. I get the
mail and I put the mail inside of my coat. I hang my cane on the trash can and
bring both cans down the driveway and place the cans close to our garage. I lined
up the cans on the grass where I had my rock pile at one time. I remove the
cane and carefully go up the ramp to our front door. I go inside and remove my hat,
shoes, and hang up my coat. I take my cane and check on my wife she is sitting
up by the bed. I go to the bathroom, wash my hands, and brush my hair.
Sometimes at this point and time I wash my clothes. I go into the kitchen and
make a cup of coffee. Wash my breakfast dishes, go into living room, and play
some games on my computer and surf the net and write some more. I sit and rest
and take a nap.
I awake and have some more pizza. Read my libby book and
drink my coffee. My wife gets up and washes her clothes, cleans a filter on an
air conditioner.
I take another nap. My wife says that I should do
something instead of sitting in my chair all day and she gets mad at me for
just sitting in my chair.
When I joined the Navy I swore to …
I Thomas Diaz do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
