FACEBOOK WEALTH

 I must be thick as a brick.  WHY would someone on FACEBOOK place a snap of loads of cash in their home?  Brag or just wanting a gang of thugs to drop by and take the cash.

One wonders how all of the cash was got.  On second thought, I do not want to know.

Given that I love being a part of a trend, I rather thought it would be nice to place a snap of my pile of cash on FACEBOOK.  Mind, the buggers who come to steal me cash are going to need strong backs and wheelcarts to haul away my fortune......

FACE BOOK STATUS

The comments found on FACEBOOK.  This comes from one of me friends in the UK....

I know nobody will read my status but sometimes, when I'm bored, I get wrapped up in a sleeping bag and lather butter all over myself and slide around the kitchen floor pretending I'm a slug..

To which others added;

I cannot afford butter or a sleeping bag so for me it's a trash sack and used cooking oil!

Me too!!!! Except I like to tie a 10 gallon stock pot to my back and pretend I'm a snail sometimes.

Lol!! I had the funniest visual!!!

LOL!! (slugs secretly creep me out....shhh...)

want to c that take a video k love u

FACEBOOK CONFESSION

Am gobsmacked at some of the posts on Facebook.  This photo appeared as a share on my friend's page recently.  It was too good to pass up and I had to post a comment.  "Gay for Pay" I called James, after another of his mates told he did not know James was 'gay'.  Right, James is the sort of chap who is 'gay' to see a female,  He adores his lovely wife but has never been known to look the other way when an attractive female is in the room.  You might say he 'adores' all women.

Unlike James, this old geezer is not fond of older men........

Mind, I never met a Ben Franklin I did not like.

I have never been 'politically correct' and wonder if some might think it was in bad taste to have a little 'gay humour' on Facebook.

FRIENDS KEEP OLD GEEZER GOING

James

Chandra

The problem with geographical moves and living a life style that places no value on holding onto loads of possessions, is the arrival of one with little to offer but the wealth carried inside of one.

The old geezer showed up to visit me mates in such a state.  James and Chandra collected the old geezer and made very welcome.  For not having seen in ages, the bonds of friendship on their part were strong to the old geezer.  How lovely and very fortunate.

Mind, there be others but will stick with the story on this page for present.

Rumour has reached me ear that some in Hilo are not happy with the old geezer having left so quickly.  So upset a chap be that all signs of the old geezer are quickly removed.  Clothing has been 'donated' to a place not much cared for, mail is sent back and in general, the feeling seems to be that the old geezer has harmed the chap in some way by departure.  No clues does the old geezer have as to the behaviour of the chap.  I must just walk away and on...

There was a time when it was most important to post each and every day.  I am not doing that and more than like will have periods when the posts will not be many.  That is the way of it, dear reader, I must do what I must do to get me mind clear.

I am soon to depart for a place by the Oregon border, a very small town, although there is a Catholic church.  I will be safe, thanks in no small part to the efforts of another dear friend to.  I will no doubt be the better man come the end of summer.

No clue what the future holds for MOI.  I do know that I look forward to the future with undiluted pleasure.

I adore all of me 'friends' to me blog, each and every one who peeks in and from time to time emails the old geezer.  I get much from.

I have used the below filmed bit before and use it know as a way of salute to James, Chandra, Hilo Hattie, Steve, Anita, Andy and Justin.  AND to let the upset chap who wants to pretend I do not belong of this world a heart felt tribute.

'FACEBOOK' IS CLOSED BOOK

Having tried 'FACEBOOK' in the past, the old geezer thought he would give it a go again.  Odd how we tend to forget why something was left before, only to have to re-visit the mistakes made in past over and over again. 

When me blog was young, and the old geezer was desperate for readers, 'FaceBook' seemed like the perfect tool to capture the attenton of folks and get more hits for blog.  Truth be told, it worked.  And were one to be completely honest, the hits to me blog did go up again when 'Facebook' was re-joined.  The problem is how much time it takes to wade through all of the 'updates' that land on your 'wall'.  It hardly seems worth it.

The number of hits from folks has stayed constant.  The initial jump of hits from 'Facebook' is long gone and more seem to find the old geezer in a different way.  "Google" is still the biggest method used to connect to me blog, followed by folks telling other folks about the blog.

There was a clever chap who passed through the hostel some weeks past and he told the old geezer of ways to get folks aware of me blog.  Information passed onto was most excellent and am right pleased at number of folks now visiting me blog from places not heard fromin the past.  Russia, Poland, Spain, Netherlands and more locales in South America.  Who would think that one would be read in Chile?  Must be a language school or trapped miners.  The other day, there were 33 folks from Chile on the blog reading, and some stayed for hours.  Fancy that...

What drove me over the edge was a recent post on 'Facebook'.  Clever chap asked the question; 'why is Robert like a vampire'.  Clicking on the post took the old geezer to a page that made one answer mre questions to find out the answer to the question poised initially. One never did get the answer, as more and more questions about folks on 'friends' list kept coming up.   What a complete load of rubbish.

I rather think that me mates will still know how to connect with the old geezer.  'Facebook' will just have to continue to make buckets of cash without the help of this old geezer.

ITEM FROM THE PAST

PLAYING THE FOOL

This old geezer has re-joined the world of 'FACEBOOK'.  One was told ages ago that nothing put on the INTERNET ever disappears, it lives on and on and on.

Re-connecting with folks known has revealed some interesting things.  Folks do remember MOI and were eager to become 'friends' with again.  AND the mail came pouring in. 'I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD', 'HAWAII?', 'STILL TRYING TO CHANGE THE WORLD', and loads of 'remember this'....

The following piece was forwarded to from one who noticed that Chuck Leonard had accepted me invite to connect.  The old geezer thought him rather colourful;

                    MOI DOES CHAT SHOW

My dears, MOI is on Facebook and used it to flog his appearance on an INTERNET chat show. This is what was written as a note on Facebook before the chat show visit;

MOI has come to believe that YOUTUBE, FACEBOOK and personal website and others allow MOI to get message out about the road lived on and community a part of like no other way possible. It is that following that has got 'Silly Hall' sitting up and taking notice. MOI is not daft, is well aware that were it not for website and YOUTUBE view, the clever folks at 'Silly Hall' would continue to ignore.

Have said before and will continue to say, each and every person has the ability to make a difference. One need not be head of a non-profit or a preacher heading a faith based effort to convert souls to do that. Mind, in Fresno if you be 'faith based' 'non-profit' you get more attention from 'Silly Hall'. More's the pity that, as it scares folks off from trying to make a difference.

Hope that all known to this old geezer tune into chat show and give a listen. Do a call in if you feel angry. Do something. Make folks at 'Silly Hall', here in Fresno and elsewhere realize that it all starts with 'We The People".

MOI did the chat show yesterday with Chuck Leonard, a cheeky sort of chap who loves to see if he can catch one off guard with his clever comments. Mr. Leonard is clever, and can see how he manages to keep the upper hand in interviews he conducts on his show. MOI is no stranger to a camera or a microphone and neither scare him. Just as natural on camera as off....too natural for some.....but that is another story.

Chuck Leonard is a cheeky chappie there is no doubt and Mike Briggs, owner of chat show, tells that Mr. Leonard is the star attraction on the INTERNET chat show. Folks have told MOI that they watched the chat show and felt that MOI held his own and that the pairing of Chuck and MOI came off well. Lovely. Even if Chuck likes to poke fun at language use of MOI.........

My dears, allow MOI to make two observations about the chat show visit.

Firstly, CentralValleyTalk.com is owned and operated by Mike Briggs. Having not lived in Fresno since dirt was planted, MOI is not 'au fait' with all of the colourful characters that live here. Mike Biggs be one of the more colourful characters met. 

Mike Briggs and MOI are friends on Facebook, that is how the invite came to be to appear on the chat show. In chatting with Mike yesterday, this old geezer was much impressed with the sort of chappie he be. Mike told that he started doing much as MOI now does to improve his neighbourhood. Graffiti bothered him and he also started doing a patrol of neighbourhood. A patrol that got him taken in by the coppers who told that it was not acceptable to do that. Times change and it is now quite normal for Neighbourhood Watch to do a patrol in neighbourhoods.
Mike tells that he has the INTERNET chat show to give one and all a forum to tell folks in Fresno what bothers them. To be true, in granting free access to one and all, there be some that even MOI backs off from. But, Mike believes in giving all an opportunity to be heard. Makes him a brick of a fellow.

Mr. Briggs is not out to do the government in, he lives the American Dream, owning a company and doing business in Real Estate. Mike told MOI that when he sat on City Council he felt his first year was the most effective, and the ones that followed only caused him to sell out soul to some degree to get things done. No 'whore to politics', Mike moved on, gaining attention in other arenas of political influence. Mike Briggs has pluck, there is not doubt and MOI admires him for it. There is hope that this old geezer is not seen as a complete nutter in Fresno. If so, sharing company with chaps like Mike Briggs suits this old geezer fine.

What bothered MOI most about the chat show yesterday was Chuck banging on about how horrid Susan Boyle looked. Kept making jokes about. MOI is of the opinion that Chuck saw it as an easy way to pander to his audience and not fall over self in admiring what has become a world wide phenomenon.

More's the pity. Chuck had opportunity to get his band of followers to accept that in these hard times, we need a hero of sorts........and Susan Boyle is. Mind, MOI is no beacon of beauty anymore, and to be true, Chuck Leonard is already beginning to show signs of wear. He should be more kind. It may well be his nature to rail against the main to prove a point.
MOI is unabashed in his admiration of the lovely lady from UK with enough pluck to float an ocean liner.
There you have it, my views on things...........not very 'EARTH SHATTERING' but...

My colourful past has a way of coming forward again and again.  Truth be told, the old geezer has nothing to hide.
