Dreams do come true....

I got Sean Connery covered in chocolate. I had to eat my way into it.

I hope everyone else had some of their dreams come true too.

(OK, it was a pair of Sean Connery DVDs, but they were still covered in chocolate!)

I'd like my for my Dad, who has suffered through a stroke and two hip replacements over the last couple years, to be in less pain and be able to get himself around a little easier. It's really hard for him to be unable to work and to do all the things around the house/yard he used to love to do. He really feels 'useless' and depressed at times. I wish he'd believe me when I tell him that all the things he gives to us now - his time, his love and his practical wisdom and advice - are just as important as doing chores and earning money. Maybe even more so. I'll just keep on telling him ...

And I wish that every awful upsetting headline was followed by one of peace and hope. And that people would focus on creating MORE peace and hope in their own little 'worlds', in their own families and communities. That way 'world peace' might just be a reality someday ...

I wish more ways could be found to meet our needs/wants WITHOUT polluting and destroying our beautiful planet. And that the powerful 'world leaders' - political, economic AND industrial - would see fit to help us make it so.

That seems like a real tall order, so I'll stop now. Wonder if Santa could fit all that on his sleigh ...

Peace and joy

For me? Less stress. X-mas, gigs, music to research, wedding to plan, kid to raise, 9-5 job...sheesh, I need a day off.

In general, pretty much the same...some peace for the world at large.

relief from debt!

When I was in the adult world, working a day job - this was a modest and manageabe issue - now that I am working as a musician, I will spend the rest of my working life atoning for past consumer-based sins! (not really consumer, college loans, mortgage, cars, and taxes are the biggest part of it). So maybe Santa will bring me a winning lottery ticket - not too much, just enough to get this monkey off my back!! Oh, and maybe enough to buy me a Glen Reid baritone guitar!

I would like that feeling of excitment when you woke up when you were about 5 years old and your parents were in bed while you sneeked into the living room oh so quiet and opened all your presents with your siblings. That was just the best.
       But I'm a little to old now, so for everyone to wake up on Christmas morning say thanks to who or what ever they beleive in and say thankyou for the day and smile the whole day through. That would be a great Christmas for many people I think, especially me but I'm working away this one but hame on the 27th so I'll make up for it then

Only just over one day to go now, that's if you live in England. Well I wish you all receive something along the lines you have wished for: be it a good man, great music ( or maybe it should be a great man and good music and peace in our troubled world.

What I have wished for may come true, there again it may not, but there is nothing wrong with wishing. Can't tell you what it is or it may not come happen!

Happy Christmas to you all, or I would prefer "Happy Holiday" as the Americans say, that covers all ethnic groups.

And thanks, Santa anon, for the Peace Badge, which arrived this morning, and I've been wearing it today. I suppose it's really the badge version of "From a Distance".

To quote Steve Martin:

"If I had one wish that I could wish this holiday season, it would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace.
If I had two wishes I could make this holiday season, the first would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing in the spirit of harmony and peace. And the second would be for 30 million dollars a month to be given to me, tax-free in a Swiss bank account.
You know, if I had three wishes I could make this holiday season, the first, of course, would be for all the children of the world to get together and sing, the second would be for the 30 million dollars every month to me, and the third would be for encompassing power over every living being in the entire universe.
And if I had four wishes that I could make this holiday season, the first would be the crap about the kids definitely, the second would be for the 30 million, the third would be for all the power, and the fourth would be to set aside one month each year to have an extended 31-day orgasm, to be brought out slowly by Rosanna Arquette and that model Paulina-somebody, I can't think of her name. Of course my lovely wife can come too and she's behind me one hundred percent here, I guarantee it.
Wait a minute, maybe the sex thing should be the first wish, so if I made that the first wish (because it could all go boom tomorrow, then what do you got, y'know?). No, no, the kids, the kids singing would be great, that would be nice.
But wait a minute, who am I kidding? They're not going to be able to get all those kids together. I mean, the logistics of the thing is impossible, more trouble than it's worth!

So -- we reorganize! Here we go. First, the sex thing. We go with that. Second, the money. No, we got with the power second, then the money. And then the kids.
Oh wait, oh jeez, I forgot about revenge against my enemies!
Okay, I need revenge against all my enemies, they should die like pigs in hell! That would be my fourth wish. And, of course, my fifth wish would be for all the children of the world to join hands and sing together in the spirit of harmony and peace.
Thank you everybody and Merry Christmas. "

I would like my loved ones and the people I care about to be safe and happy. As a little extra bonus, I wouldn't mind if everyone in the world could be safe and happy. And warm. Safe, happy, and warm. And well fed. Safe, happy, warm, and well fed. But not too warm. So I'd like the ones in hot places to be cool enough to be comfortable. So that's safe, happy, well fed, and comfortable. That's not too much to ask, is it? Oh, yeah, and I'd like them to be healthy too. That's about it, I think. Thank you very much.

But you know what? I am getting something much better instead -- my best beloved daughter is bound home for Xmas at the end of the week, and it looks like she will be pulling down a very successful first semester at the Conservatory, and my best beloved wife will be by my side, and her Mom's coming over and an array of really fine friends and about ten thousand Sea Monkeys. So all in all, I reckon I am doing okay, thanks!!
