My day... Written well bed ridden

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

image.jpegGood days start with breakfast

Don't have a name for these, but you are welcome to suggest one. It's a wrap of bacon with an egg inside topped with green onions, and this time havarti cheese (usually I opt for an old cheddar) 400 degrees f for 18 mins followed by a 2 minute broil. Serve with toast.

image.jpegNice day for some breakfast outside, my wife's aunt is visiting from out of town

image.jpeg Took them to an antique shop where I came across this weird AF Mickey Mouse? record player

image.jpegFunny what classified as 'antique'. I guess semi racist stereotypes have always been apart of sci-fi, from Yoda being a rip off of a Tibetan scholar (Tashi has an uncle who works at a university translating Tibetan scriptures into English, talks very much like Yoda, very wise is he) and Ferengi's from Star Trek (Ferengi being the Hindi word for foreigner, and has all the markings of a shrewd Indian trader)
I thought of @hanshotfirst and @artedellevita when I saw these. I'll be honest, I've never watched more then the first half hour of episode one of the old new trilogy. I hate the digital remastered versions that Lucas released in the 90's I think CGI is the biggest downfall of the series, I was so glad to see BB-8 was a real robot and not just a green screen soccer ball. Should I give the old new trilogy, episodes 1-3, a chance? Episode 7 I thought was okay, except for the CGI characters and the fact it was a replica of A New Hope... But I digress... Where was I?

image.jpegantiques, quite right 😉 Found this little globe/piggy bank from the 60's. What makes it so special? Tibet is shown as its own sovereign country, not a part of China. I would love to start a campaign of drawing Tibet back into history books and maps. They are not a conquered people, simply a repressed nation under a foreign totalitarian regime.

image.jpegNext we took them to a farmers market, it's a huge market with tons of vendors of crafts, foods and fun. 3 dollars for 5 minutes in a bouncy castle. Bear sat for five minutes just watching the other kids jump :/

image.jpegNext we drove to Stratford, and had a lovely stop on the way at a conservation area, for a picnic and to stretch our legs. Bear and I walked around THE WHOLE lake (20 mins) then had a petit nosh with the fam. I'd forgot my phone so I took this before we left. @jaybird you may note the sky is pristine 😄

When we got to Stratford we found a place to sit while Theo played. Then this caterpillar made my wife jump, but Theo thought it was cute, because he's very easy to convince. 😜

image.jpegCan't go to Stratford without a picture of a swan, think that is a law 😇 It's a beautiful little place

So bed ridden, eh? Yep, got home and Theo had fallen asleep in the car, so I carried him inside and being a little exhausted myself decided to nap with him on my chest. We must have slept for an hour or so, when I woke up I was drenched in sweat, he's a little furnace when he sleeps just like I am. I think it may have given me heat exhaustion, because when I got up my stomach was frazzled.

I tried to eat my wife's lovely dinner of Okra, potato salad and chicken wings, but for the first time in... Ever? I couldn't eat more then a few bites and left the table. I retired to the porcelain throne, and not to be to graphic, backwards bidet 🙁💩 So now I lay in bed, not knowing if this is a bug or just a case of a long day.

So that's what's up. On Facebook, Twitter, Reddit,even bleedpoetry.com could you find this wild and docile reality? Is this what steemit should be? Really? Is there any whales or originators that can come forward and answer me?

Are my photos the best? No, probably not, my wife probably got better shots because I tend to forget my phone, and I'm not about to spend $1000 dollars for a few extra megapixels.

Do you want honesty? Originality? Humans with personalities, flaws and all?

Here's a poem I left as a comment on @neverapen's post the other day. I found it under my paste button and rather then discard it or make it its own post I offer it here:

'I felt bad to have lost a finger, till I met a man without an arm'
Old Adage.

Beautiful face
Poisoned personality
Maybe if your face was flawed
It would balance you out mentally.

'How does it feel to be, one of the beautiful, people'
The Beatles

She had acne scars
And webbed toes
A heart of gold
Tarnished daily.

'Capitalism has made it this way'
Marilyn Manson

All the money to fix
To snip, nip, tuck and shave
Carve, sculpt, lift and suck
Freeze
Till only an abomination
Unnatural remains
Rotting.

Which photo makes me look the best? A), B) or C)? Are Episodes one through three worth it? Should an alien be made a bumbling idiot with a patois and dreads? Should you have to pay if your kid doesn't bounce while in the bouncy castle? Are caterpillars cute? Breakfast?

This has been a long day, almost as long as this post😂 Hope your having a lovely Saturday night. It's closer to 9:30pm, here at least.

Thx Kim, which ones?

I love your "Bacon Breakfast Rings" haha there I gave them a name! And I love the little record player as too!
Glad you and your family enjoyed your outing ☺️

Beats my best effort of "breakfast food cup thingies." Have a lovely Sunday.

you had me at an egg wrapped in bacon ;)

Without the 'topped in melted cheese' I don't think they'd be half as good.

The breakfast meal looked so good, I'm salivating. The breakfast table pic had me looking at the food and thinking how awesome it would be if I was eating one of those lol. Sounds like you and your family had a very busy (and fun!) day. Those antiques looked really well cared for and Theo is adorable. I was confused if you also call Theo Bear? But anyway, picture C :)

'I felt bad to have lost a finger, till I met a man without an arm'

I read something in a quote book that's similar: "I had the blues 'cause I had no shoes. Until upon the street.. I saw a man without feet."

Theo's full nickname is boo bear, but I like calling him Bear for short. And those Bacon Breakfast rings are quick and easy, great if you are serving more than 6 people, all you need is a well oiled muffin tin.

Cute nickname :) And I might be trying the bacon breakfast soon.
