Once Upon A Time
By barefooted on Tue, 03/29/2022 - 12:02pm |
Mister Smith taught me:
Play with your words; let them sing -
Just don't let them go.
So I guess I won't.
Even when I don't know what
The melody is.
But I know the song,
Because he sang it to me
With his deepest breath.
Somehow, the notes meshed ...
Friday's orchestra of one
Heard by everything.
I dared sing along
Because he invited me
No punctuation
When I think of him,
I'm led to thoughts of others
Who, like me, loved him.
Once upon a time.

Vince McMahon Retires
Michael Maeillo isn't here anymore, so there's no post about what is pretty big news.
Vince McMahon retired amidst a hush money scandal that revealed some pretty misogynistic stuff from his past, including forcing oral sex on a wrestler. Stephanie McMahon, not the brother Shane, is taking the reigns and her husband Triple H is in charge of creative.
The programming did a dramatic 180 towards much more entertaining in the past few years as a result of competition from All Elite Wrestling. There was a segment during the recent SummerSlam event where Brock Lesnar moved the ring with a tractor, to fulfill his "farm boy" gimmick.

No! He created us to be free, and he asks us to be mature and responsible persons in life and in society.”
