WHAT???? LOVE his voice.
And love the whole look.
I saw this young kid a few months ago….totally old rock n roll. He had wild hair….shirt open and hip huggers on.
You know he had to be slim and beautiful to pull this look off.

Hi Friend 🙂
LOVE Leonard. So Unique and so talented.
Beautiful Sunday music.

What editing software did you use?

Hello, do you know if there is access to scribbles and bits somewhere? I miss them.

Hello Amanda, and welcome to Thoughts.

The fact that you mention ‘scribbles’ must mean that you were once a member of the old thoughts and took part in the writing challenges? What with one thing and another I’m afraid all that came to an abrupt end when ‘Thinkr’ took pride and place over thoughts after it closed, and most of the old thoughtsers didn’t like Thinkr and left for other adventures.

I started a writing group on Thinkr https://thoughts.com/groups/writers-lounge/ I set simple weekly challenges in the hope that the writing spirit could be rekindled, but in truth it never did – mainly because there was not enough people on the site and certainly not enough who showed interest.

Thoughts.com re-opened a few months back and all the groups and blogs which were already in place were carried over to the new version. You can join any group found under ‘Groups’ and there is one dedicated to poetry if that’s your thing.

I could start a ‘scribbles’ challenge within my own group but it would need regular input to make it worth my while. I’m not adverse to re-kindling the old scribbles – in fact I would love it, but in order to thrive, a group needs people, lots of people, and right here and now the trickle of people, new and old, is very slow and most newcomers just want to write blogs which is fair enough.

We probably competed on the Word Salads, I was the one that always did them in order and got the WTG rewards, I forgot how he did that, I miss Pastor Mike.
I signed up for Thinkr, but I didn’t write much. I have not written much creatively, because of work and school, but I have been seeing word salad over and over and happened to check out thoughts again.

Not competed but participated in together. <3

Me too, did you read my post, do you remember who I am?

This song brings back memories. I had to stop playing it because it made me cry. Not really sad tears…just made me think of my handicapped brother.
When we were young…we would travel to South Dakota in the summer for family reunions and other things. And we had 2 station wagons and all 9 of us would pack up and drive. And in the Station wagon my brother drove….he would play this tape. I think I knew all the lyrics to their songs because he would rewind and play them again and again.

This was the moment when Queen showed to the world that there was something more to popular music than the bog-standard rubbish we had all got used to hearing. The song and methodology in creating it was a seminal wake up call for listeners and musicians alike. The song never shows its age and has a timeless quality that all the classics possess.

I love the moment in “Wayne’s World” when they’re driving in the car listening to this song and start freaking out during the rock opera sequence.

i hope Brandall doesn’t eat the strawberry or she will lose her price and his “help” will not prove to be very helpful. Will we learn in another episode?

I like to think that Brandall would keep to his word and not dishonour it by munching away at Andrea’s strawberry. I have no plans for writing a continuation – my pictures are single stories, a captured moment in time. And of course, my readers have their own imaginations so I will leave it to them to decide what happened next.

These are rather silly but ‘seriously’ funny!

Not sure what this is from, but I love the picture and the words.

It is all from my own imagination. I create picture composites/shape creations for my own amusement. It’s a steep learning curve but I’ve been doing it for years.

There have been many wonderful theme tunes/songs for TV Dramas, too many to recount until you hear them again. The one that has always stuck with me and became my all-time favourite is the theme from “Game of Thrones.”

Simply wonderful composition!

Yes, there are some really talented people working in the entertainment industry making impressive stuff.

Over here we call that a flash flood. There you are minding your own business when all of a sudden the expected rainfall turns into a biblical deluge and you look around for the nearest canoe!

I’ve seen a few in my time and unfortunately, I happened to be outside for most of them.

We’re not supposed to get tropical style weather in the UK. . .but we do.

YOU have got to be kidding me???? I put this song in my queue maybe a year ago? I have the “Frank Sinatra” channel on my favorites and this song was played and for some reason it moved me. It seemed to teeter between tragic and joy. And when something seems so different to me I have to figure it out. Which is why I wrote the song down to listen to later when I could figure it out.

Here is another one that seemed beautiful to me….but he actually uses the word demon in here a few times which seemed odd to me.

My take on it is that he is telling his beloved that while demons may smile for a while and give her the idea that they are her friends, he will be around to protect her from being damaged by them. A vow to take care of her for ever, as long as he is allowed to be around. (Shrug)

It is an interesting take and not what most love songs refer to usually. 🙂

Wasn’t much of a Vanilla Ice fan but I could always appreciate a good dance tune. And this falls into that category.
Did you where the neon? 😉

There are times – especially at the beginning – when this song sounds too much like “Under Pressure” by Queen. Maybe they did a deal with the copyright holder to use the material?

I know a lady that knows that song by heart
It’s on her like a tattoo.

Did you create the image first and write the story for it or vice versa?
Wasn’t there a “Photo” challenge on old Thoughts where someone would post a photo and people would write a story for it?

I don’t usually have a story in mind when I create photo composites, some of my work hangs around for months because I get creatively stuck and see no end path. The image above is a prime example of this. The statue, mushroom, and girl, all formed part of a completely different picture that I’ve been mucking around with for ages. A few days ago amid a wave of inspiration I changed the backdrop and thus changed the concept entirely. With a fresh idea in mind I was able to finally finish the project and be done with it.

I found it to be a good idea to include a brief written overview describing the scene rather than just plonking the picture in a post with just a working title. My descriptions, which can be regarded as ‘fly by,’ give a flavour to the image and direct the viewer to a train of thought that I had after contemplating all aspects of the finished picture. They say that every picture tells a story, and that’s as true today as it was in the past. I hope that makes sense? It did to me as I wrote it.

And yes. . .there was a photo challenge on the old Thoughts which I regularly participated in. The challenge was to write a story about a picture that the setter (Pastor Mike) would post. Everyone would then go away and think about a story that fitted the photo. It was a very enjoyable time that I remember, and the writing community was huge back then with all sorts of people participating each week.

Makes complete sense to me…every picture does tell a story…or could tell a story. I only say that because at times I just take random pictures of beautiful scenes that don’t really have a story. But if you’re going to add objects and create a scene….yeah….theres a story in there somewhere.
Made me think of an art teacher I had when I was YOUNG. For this particular assignment we had to hand him our blank sheet of water color paper and he would scribble/blop/swoosh a strange design. And we had to create something from that.

Pastor Mike sure had a way of bringing people together and keeping them motivated.
