Winter Sun Sunday

Well I managed to get up reasonably early today, after Tinnitus being real bad lately. You try getting to sleep for 6 hours, and fail, just getting more and more exhausted. So I’m pleased with that, though it doesn’t keep the pain monster away. Random pain on random parts of my body, but let’s move3 on. I’m sure random people will be glad I stop sending emails in the night from my phone, I’ve only just worked out how to do that, it was the side effect of Tinnitus.

So today it’s bright and sunny and dangerous too, the hill has ice on it, so I need be careful, I hurt my back and I was like a 100 year old for a week, this was before my daughter shared her flu. So altogether maybe 3 weeks of not being my usual self, and I can hear what you are saying so stop it, I still have ice cold lettuce in the fridge and I will slap the back of your legs with it, so behave, behave not beehive, you’ve been watching Nannie McFee again.

It feels and looks like skiing weather, blue skies and a crispness to the air, maybe snow soon. In the woods by me the kids all go sledging in the snow, its a bowl shape perfect for sledging. Since we’ve moved nearer to the woods I haven’t been there as much as I should. It’s 7mins walk away, and I used to walk the family dog there when I lived at the family house 35 years plus ago. Perhaps I’ll pay more visits this 2020, I did put a sex scene in those woods, it’s in Chapter One of Tears for a Butcher, which I’ll probably never finish, not unless my Korean copy typist turns up, so you are all saved, not unless you are a Korean copy typist.

There’s not as much pedestrian traffic here as at the old house, so less inspiration walking past, though a man just walked by is a very long silver coat walking his dog. He reminded me of a hot dog from Costco, all ready to be covered in sauce, which reminds me Costco is great, the settee behind me was from their online offerings. I’m contemplating what this room will look like once the curtain rail and curtains go up. I’ve been like an Amsterdam Prostitute sitting in the window in my stockings and suspenders as I sit here writing stories for you all. A year as a writing whore, on full display for the passers by as I sit here in my chair. Though all that’ll disappear this week as the curtains come down on me, exposed no more. And me wanting exposure so I could sell my wares, my stories, no smirking or the wet lettuce will come out, Larry Grayson taught me well.

Talking of Larry Grayson I met his friend Pop it In Pete in the Post Office, I bought a stamp so I could send a greetings card to my big daughter at University. Some things do need to be popped in the post after all, it shows you care and went to the effort, support your Local Post Office. Though to be honest I am an email man, obviously because I don’t care, see I said it before you could, remember your ear is very near me. That’s how our dad reminded us he’ll slap us, 55 years ago and more.

Yes, a bit of Winter sunshine lifts the mood, but if you go outside you return like like a 90 year old asthmatic or dirty phone call person. And yes making heaving breathing phone calls on the internal phone call system did add to the fun on the night shift 40 years ago. There’s a lot more I could reveal but not today, makes me sound like a lazy stripper. See words create pictures, it’s like cinema for when you haven’t got the 2quid to go to the Grove cinema. I used to get 2 quid off my dad and I went to see a film, that was 45 years ago or so, I think it was on Sunday’s too.

Now I need to eat now, and I heard that too, how could he eat any more, he’ll explode like a balloon. You are so cruel, just because you are 80 countries away you think you can mock me. I’ve seen your dirty habits, reading The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker, in Persian or Arabic or Chinese or whatever languages, and wherever you are. And you thought it was a Business Studies Title, something about marketing across the trades, I had the last laugh, it’s a comedy about a street of shops with a very dramatic ending. I bet you don’t even know what a 29288 really is. Go on clever dicks in Kardasian, is that a country or a people, anyway what is a 29288, is that a Kim thing, the North Korean Kim thing?

So while I go and eat, and maybe I’ll explode a bit after my beans, you go and do some homework. What is the meaning of 29288 in the book and in reality. And the winner gets a prize. They can come and speed type Tears for a Butcher, I just hope your not a Sumo from Japan.

p.s. I just spotted South Korea reading, so hello to the Blue House

As you know I love my News, it forms a chattering cement that binds us, if I steal a line from The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker. I used to watch the News with my dad when he came home from the Steel Works, The District Iron and Steel Brasshouse Lane Smethwick.

He’s curse the “bastards” as he had his dinner on the back of a broken down barn chair as he sat in his armchair. “Did they sweat?” he’d ask as vacuous people spoke on tv. 400 degrees was what dad was used to, as he verbally lashed them and gave them the 3rd degree, as pretty people sung like the 3 Degrees. Dad was very clever, his teacher even said “one day Casey, you will hang”, but in 1930s Ireland you went to work at 14, and dad became a Blacksmith.

Though dad was so proud of his own 3 Degrees, Oxford, Cambridge and Birmingham, those were the Universities the kids went to, so those vacuous people on tv could kiss his arse. Yes, I’m the “failure” with 1,535,000 Words over 18 books and 30 years of writing after my University 20 years of BBC Radio 4 listening. But I know I was loved, in fact I was the “pet” out of the 6 children. So News and dad went together, and yes I’ll direct you to read Padre Pio and Me again, it’s on the site somewhere.

Which brings me to today’s talk, Michael Casey News Editor, I follow the news, and when tinnitus keeps me away, often, I go on my phone and read the lastest Trump saga. How can somebody so corrupting have become President. He is as guilty as Hell on many fronts, but the corruption of power has overtaken the GOP, this is not me speaking as a liberal, it’s just so tragically true. Having to pay back 2million stolen from a Vets Charity, a judge said this not me. Leaking military plans before the Iran hit, so some made money in military stocks. These are just 2 items, I won’t go one, just hit Trump on your phone, and read 5 items on the news from various news outlets. It is all so sad and tragic, the Presidency has become a mafia like ponsi scheme, this is how the world views Trumpland. One last item before I move on, we read a blackmail item, 25% on your cars Europe if you don’t back me. A bully is a bully is a bully, whereas USA used to be a beacon of Hope, now its a dime store, all because nobody has the balls to stand up and remove him.

History is another big thing of mine and as kid I stayed up all night when Nixon was ousted, so I was so tired when I went to school. Now I’m really moving on. Would I have Harry and Megan in the news, I’d try and avoid it. In the DM online there is acres of stuff about them, and nonentities, such as a 1/2 sister all try and make money out of their connections. This is really sad and tragic. It was obvious Megan would not stay, just as now that Harry has had the lid lifted via his wife, he looks back in horror. Just walk behind your mum’s coffin in the street. This was a mistake then, no matter what great tv it made then. I just hope he can find peace for himself and his new family, though the omens …

Now what would I put in a radio news report, and radio is better than tv, the pictures do get in the way of the facts. Also if you watch/listen to the same news item, the radio version always has more power. Try it for yourselves and you’ll agree with me. I’d put a music item in, as music is the greatest thing ever, I don’t need to watch Stuart Copeland’s new show on the BBC to know this. So as news editor I’d have a 2 min slot for a music item, more if I were allowed. A piece of music is like a touch, a kiss, a pat of comfort on the back, or even full on sex. But you’d need more than 2 mins on the radio for it. Yes you are ahead of me, a news report with a quickie in the middle, that would be mind blowing.

Speaking of sport, as I was listening to the radio in bed today, as I caught up with my Tinnitus lack of sleep there was a wonderful Cricket report, I’m not a cricket man. Cricket is confusing, when you are out you go in, when you are in you go out. And everybody is playing with their balls which they rub so much the colour comes off the ball and stains their whites red. Anyway ask an American to explain it to you, he’ll cry. So this reporter, he must have been BBC the way he explained the match was like listening to poetry, whoever he is I hope he never has a sticky whicket, and if he does I hope it gets better and does not leave a red stain on his whites. So I’d have eloquent reporters poetically describe whatever sport there was. A thing to note though, on TV a reporter must know when not to speak and let the pictures speak for themselves. Bad sports reporting is terrible, its totally inarticulate, like the unedited version of Trump that we never see. An Australian reporter was interviewed and said she was horrified by Trump, because he was almost in his dotage, repeating himself, you only get the edited version on Fox.

There is always a fun item, to lift people out of the dumps now that all the Christmas alcohol has been finished. Yes I’d insert a short piece of my own, if you are guest editor on BBC Radio 4’s Today it’s too good an opportunity to miss. So I’d read out my LinkedIn Profile piece, perfect for those going Job Hunting this New Year, and yes you an all find it on my sites.

There is also a tradition of Thought for Today, a semi religious piece, so again I’d write or free running speak my own opinion. So here’s my Faith Piece. God Loves ALL of US, that’s the fat silver haired writer in shades from Birmingham England, or anybody just as smelly, just as fragrant, just as fat, just as thin, just as clever, just as ignorant. God will have anybody, you don’t have to be worthy, he’ll go out looking for the good the bad and the ugly. He wants everybody, he doesn’t care what you eat or how you eat it or when you eat it. Or even what day of the week you pray. He is your Father, your sister, your brother, your mother. Curse or Pray often, just keep on talking to him. And if you can’t pray he’ll be the shadow on the wall, he’ll seep though the shadows, he’ll be that grain on sand that sticks to your feet. He’ll be there to greet you at the end of the road, for he shares your pain, your love. He just wants all the pieces of the jigsaw to return to him, for without all of the pieces he is incomplete, for in the end Love is Everything, every single piece of a heart, and when the end comes all of us are with all of him. United in Love.

Well I hope that’s good enough for all of you believers of every sort, the XYZ of Faith, Faith is a liquid so it finds its own level, and when joined there is only one God. So I think I’ll finish for now. This has been Michael Casey News Editor, if I can have a New Year’s wish. Then Trump goes, Pence takes over with Mitt Romney as VP. Then Pence is forced to resign too, and so Romney gets to be President. Though that would be out of this world, which reminds me Romney looks like Captain Pike in Star Trek Discovery, so switch off this radio and watch Star Trek, which is where I started 50 years ago.

you can tell all your FB friends and MEDIA where to find me

then maybe I’ll get a media deal or a slot on Russia Today and FOX

so I can corrupt everybody in equal measure

The Little Things Kids Do

The Little Things Kids Do ©

By

Michael Casey

As I sit here tonight I’m happy and tired and yes in pain, that’s always part of me too. But it’s the happy part I want to rejoice about, the thing that lights up my very soul. A kiss on the cheek from my small daughter as she goes to bed. That kiss and a smile from her big sister is worth more than gold, and will probably be the memory as my eyes shut for the last time, and it’s God’s turn to put up with me for all Eternity. Tonight I’m watching a new K drama too, The Fiery Priest, which has all my favourite ingredients, Martial Arts, a Priest , I have read all the Don Camillo many times, and Padre Pio is somebody who I’ve annoyed often. So it’s looking good.

No doubt I’ll tell you more about my new Kdrama as I watch it, and did you know there were so many devout Korean Catholics. But it’s the things kids do I’ll try and talk about before I go to bed, though I wish I was in a warm country so my arthritis didn’t make my joints pain me so much. It’s the damp in UK that is bad for arthritis. Though this week it’s the 5^th anniversary of my unplanned quadruple heart bypass so I’m happy to still be here. My big daughter said write 27 books, she did not realise I’d write so much and so fast, but like I said before I won’t rush as much. My girls have 1.5 million Words to read, but by saying 27 books, as in 27 dresses the film, my big daughter was really saying “don’t die” .

Children do things that make you happy and bring hope and fun to your life. I’ve been a hausfrau for 10 years now, I did do a bit of teaching for a year, but we just swopped roles and I became a  hausfrau, which means I’ve spent more time with my kids that 99% of dads. And yes illness came along too, after decades of physical work. All I every wanted was a family, and it is better if there is somebody at home for the kids. You drink less beer, have less holidays, have a lower life style, because there is only one income.

However your kids are nurtured and are not “latch key kids” , I can remember my own dad saying how important it was for children, and yes I believe he was right. If you want it all, then somebody suffers, and that’s usually the kids, though I know this is not a popular opinion nowadays. I also have had plenty of time to Write.

So I’ve been a baby sitter and meal maker and gay dad, gay dad means a dad who knows about fashion, just in case any of my readers scattered I over 70 countries get confused by the expression. It’s been fun, and I actually talk to my own kids, have a relationship with them, my small daughter tells me that some kids don’t talk to their parents, I don’t know is it because it’s “uncool” or what. So I’ve been fortunate, and lucky too, because the way my Health turned out I could have been dead in the street 5 years ago.

So I’ve had time with my daughters to have a influence on them, to form them and direct them. And no I never treated them as kids, I just talked to them naturally. It amuses us when people say  “and what do you want to be etc” as they talk down to them, and patronise them. Just so you know they are more intelligent than you, they should be patronising you. Intelligence is Speed of Thought, not age, nor volumes of learning, so please Grow Up Teachers, they are your equals. Though they are too polite to say it, but I am not. Most people think I am a Security Guard, what you wrote that? As if I’m a Moron, a stupid person, not the religious “cult”, if I thrown that back at you. And yes 1,535,000 words don’t write themselves, so I must just be “gifted”, another taint. 20 years of Radio Listening and reading 1000s of books, and 30+ years of writing, that makes me “gifted”, MIAOW>

But back to kids, they are a living memory of your life, and if you have 1000s of photos you can browse through the memories, such as playing badminton by the dustbins in the garden. Such as posing in a box marked “made in China”, which makes us smile, as they ARE half Chinese and Bilingual too. Though Korean is heard a lot in our house too, as I read the subtitles. You have summer photos, and snowmen photos, and building the doll’s house photos, all kinds of photos. Perfect to save and to use to embarrass them on their wedding days. Yes I realise because I had my kids when I was old, I may never seem any wedding day, so time is precious, silly photos are important too. And so I pray for more years, and yes I pray for that 2^nd wife, a Korean girl. Because it’s me clinging on to hope in the dark of the night as Tinnitus keeps me awake. The clock has hit Midnight now as I talk to you, so I’ll finish and post this, just enjoy your kids as much as you can. Yes you’ll be broke as you spend your Pension on them, but what else would you waste your money on. Life is family and kids and then the Undertaker gets you, so die with a smile on your lips, as you curse your arthritic hips.

Can you keep a secret?

Can you keep a secret?

just reading the Press before bed

and Trump tells everybody prior to the fact about his plans

did any profit from this and buy WAR SUPPLY shares?

Prior to his hits on Iran etc

This is worrying, and if true is alone justification of his removal

which we won't "see" as Press are being put in one pen like sheep

IS THE LOVE OF MONEY SO GREAT IN USA

that Country comes last, and PROFIT first

It's enough to make you cry

Careless Talk costs lives was the sign in UK in the war

my dad had to be a fire watcher at night 1944/1945 when he arrived in England

But Trump spills the beans and has made 15,000 + lies to date

But still Evangelicals reckon his an angel.

maybe he is, the Angel of Death

Death or Reason, Honesty, Integrity, and Transparancy to name just a few

And as for having a Belief? He only believes in his own reflection.

the picture below is where all my beliefs began, in 1920s Kerry Ireland, it's not a pig sty, it's where my mother was born. No doubts the faith of a child.
