roger


roger rog·er [roj-er] interjection
1. Informal. all right; O.K.
2. message received and understood (a response to radio communications).
3. (often initial capital letter ) Jolly Roger.
4. (formerly used in communications to represent the letter R. )



Seeing as how I've never been in the military nor been a pilot, this word is one I never use. I think I've only personally known two people named Roger; one was an upperclassman back in high school and the other was a football coach in junior high. When I see or hear the word "roger", I think of this scene from the 1980 movie Airplane!.



Meet Your Meat

Eye opening...to say the least. If you watch, please do so all the way through. The ending is not only symbolic, but a dire warning.



The name of this video was "SAMSARA food sequence" and I wasn't familiar with the term; here's the Wiki entry for Samsāra, which means "continuous flow" and is the repeating cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth (reincarnation) within Hinduism, Buddhism, Bön, Jainism, Taoism, Yârsân.  In Sikhism this concept is slightly different and looks at one's actions in the present and consequences in the present.

Day After Day - Badfinger


From Wiki: The song was written and sung by Pete Ham and produced by George Harrison, who plays some of the slide guitar parts of the song along with Ham. The record also features Leon Russell on piano. As the song was unfinished at the time Harrison left the Badfinger album to produce the Concert for Bangladesh, the final mix was done by Todd Rundgren, who took over Straight Up after Harrison's departure.

Released as a single in the US in November 1971 (January 1972 elsewhere), it would become the group's highest charting single there, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart. It also peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1972. It remains the band's best-known song, most notably for the slide guitar solos. It went Gold in March 1972, becoming the band's first and only gold single. "Day After Day" reached number 10 on Billboard's Easy Listening survey. 

Because of all of the overdubs, Badfinger was hesitant to play this song live for years, since it was impossible for a four-piece group to reproduce the single production. However, the song was included in the setlist for Badfinger's 1974 tour.

A Fool For Fall

The results make sense, since I was supposed to be born in the fall.

You Could Live in Autumn

You are the type of person who loves to think long term. You are big on deliberation.

Autumn is the perfect time for deep thinkers like you. You enjoy the beautiful colors and the crisp weather.

You are a serious person, and you like that everyone is getting down to business in the fall.


You feel a surge of energy as the cool weather returns. Everything is better in the fall - clothes, books, movies, and food!
