Turn the page...
Remember those old BOOK + RECORD stories, where you'd stick a 45 on a turntable, and then a narrator would read the book to you? When the person reading or reciting the text came to the end of a page, there would be a little bell or a tinkle or a signal of some sort telling the listener to go on to the next page... It was genius, really... I have a handful of those little records, still. Not too many, but a couple!
DING!!! (Now turn the page, and let's see [and HEAR] what else is happening!!!)

If you enjoyed any of these songs, please consider PURCHASING a copy (physical or digital) especially if the performers are still alive and need to eat! The streaming services are convenient, but the artists get next to NOTHING for peeps just listening. We've got to make sure we support the ARTISTS!!!
Speaking of support, don't forget to check out my PATREON page! (link below! Seriously! It don't hurt nothing to LOOK!)
---P.S. - My portions of this piece, including the vocal recordings, artwork, and text, are cc0. The audio collaged elements that I stole from others are THEIRS, and I don't have the right to sell those. Therefore, this piece is being released for educational purposes only and is not for sale...

Final Day of 2024 (31 Dec. 2024) by RFY (HF)
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
This is it. Last day of the year. Tomorrow, the world begins again. (This is a somewhat arbitrary designation, and I recognize that, but symbolically, starting a NEW ERA on 1-1-2025 seems...nice... (Not the exact phrase, but I'm reaching for a more colorful descriptor, possibly a metaphor, but I'm coming up empty!?)
Garbage In / Garbage Out
Healthier. That's one of the goals. I have grandkids now, so it would be helpful for me to stay around long enough to see them grow up! Thus, I need to keep better track of the BODY (whether it's the entirety of my existence or just a temporary way-station...). The kids are alright... (Who?)
I'm also going to be more methodical about my creation and archiving activities. I LOVE making stuff (drawings, stories, audio nonsense), but it doesn't do much good to have 100 drawings sitting in a folder on my laptop, when they COULD be floating around on the inter-webs making people laugh (or making them say, "I could draw something better than that!" You probably could, and you definitely SHOULD!!!) There are a great many outlets for my bits and bobs, and I need to be more active in my sharing activities... (I've been a BIT better lately, but not as productive as I COULD be...)
ARCHIVE FEVER!!!
New directions, new focus, new intentions... To quote myself from this morning's journal entry: "My intention for the new year is to be more intentional..." Try to avoid sleepwalking, but push HARDER to do some DREAM WALKING!!! And, thrillingly, Mariah has tomorrow off from work... I guess it's some kind of holiday or something...
You get me?

"Mental T.V. Projection" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created with a no-longer-supported, free app on my phone...] I read an old Silver Surfer comic (back when it was a NEW Silver Surfer comic) in which the space surfer was tricked by an evil agency into providing entertainment for a crowd of unscrupulous voyeurs when his brain was hooked to a machine that projected his dreams for freaks to WATCH... I think we're about ten minutes away from this being real life... (The dream watching bit... Pretty sure the Silver Surfer is still fiction...for now...)
