Just Roll Tape

How bout this.  Texas becomes its' own nation. Again! There has only been one U.S. state that was once an independent country, which was officially recognized by the United States.  The Republic of Texas was just that from 1835 to 1846 prior to joining the Union.  At that time, it was truly A Lone Star Nation.  Every now and then some Texans get feisty and say it just might be the way.  If it does ever happen?  Get your Texas Passport or U.S. Passport (with a Texas Visa Permit) ready if you plan to cross the border into The Republic of Texas from Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, or Old Mexico.  Texans don't take kindly to illegals from the United States. eddyEd

So you go to bed one night - and when you awake - all of a sudden you find yourself ten years in the future.  FUUUUCK!  Where did all that time go?  How could this happen?  It's ten years after we went to sleep?  Are we still sleeping?  Surely we're still asleep, right?  Wake Up.  Come on wake Up !!  WAKE UUUUUP !!!!!!!!! eddyEd

Can you imagine the deer in headlights' look on the face of the world if we found out that the God of the Christian bible was 'not' who he appeared to be.  At all.    Talk about the biggest grift of all time.  eddyEd

Next time you walk out of the house headed for the car.  You might want to consider taking an umbrella.  Even though there isn't a cloud in the sky. eddyEd

So, you just found out the world has created a vaccine that will release you from the need for sleep.  For as long as you live.  Do you become a midnight rider?  Do you proceed, so you can gain more 'awake' time in your life to do as you wish?  Create more.  Work more.  Travel more.  Everything more.  Or, do you become an anti-vaxxer?  You ought to be getting tired right about now. eddyEd

How bout this.  There's a meal that the world will hold up as the most wonderful meal.  And it has your name on it.  What's in it and what's it called? eddyEd

Have you seen the stars tonight? Your listening to eddyEd.

One bright sunny southern California afternoon not too terribly long ago - I met up with the legendary Joey K at a somewhat otherworldly watering hole called “The Encounter Cocktail Lounge” in the Los Angeles International Airport. Turns out, the iconic atomic architecture themed building is the perfect pitstop between flights or as a destination unto itself. In either case, it is worth the adventure if you are ever in that part of the world.
On this particular afternoon, we began our conversation innocently enough after just a few strong libations between us. But by the time we climbed out of the conversation rabbit hole that afternoon - we had covered a number of subjects from being famous to eyebrows and a whole host of things in between. The conversation ‘and’ atmosphere produced some words to live by. When we were done we executed the perfect WEST LA FADEAWAY. Let’s “Just Roll Tape 20” …..

One very snowy night driving from Boston to Keene New Hampshire with Joey K at the wheel (because after all - you always Let Joey Drive, right?); we encountered full-blown blizzard hypnotizing moments - one after the other - where we weren't quite sure if we were still on the road.  Or still in the car.  Clock time never seemed to match our recollection when we tried to recall the drive later that night at 'A Cup Full Cafe' in Keene.  But it did produce amazing coffee talk inspired as is often the case by the legendary businessman, Joey K.

Take the incomparable Joey K and his grasshopper mensch, Edward Hamlin.   Mix in multiple trips to The Atlantis Paradise Island Cove and Poolside Cabana where they served themselves and others with loquacious conversation cocktails during many a day and night.  And hopefully, that will satisfy even the most discriminating eavesdroppers.  "Whatchusayin?"  "Yeah, ya see"
