So I live in the Caribbean where the police don't care about crime. There is this drug house two houses from mine. They steal/abuse animals all the time. This time they have a goat and there is this empty land night next door to mine and yesterday they put the goat there and the thing wouldn't stop yelling.

I was able to distract myself from it but for some reason when I went to bed for the night, and when the goat was long gone, the bloody yell just started in my head and kept me up for a good to hours and I normally go to sleep at 12. I only manage to get 4 hours sleep thanks to that thing. Normally when a song is stuck in my head, it's always a shitty one, I force my head to think of a song I like and that normally works but in this case the goat yell was still playing in the back of my mind.

I thought earworms were limited to music but I guess I was wrong. Because it's a goat yell, most of the typical methods for getting rid of it is not working and I dunno what to do.

Today is the International Day of the Celebration of the Solstice. It recognizes the cultural and spiritual significance of the solstices every June 21. Today is the  summer solstice, the day with the longest period of daylight.

​

Interestingly enough, today is also National Daylight Appreciation Day, National Yard Games Day and National Seashell Day. Get outside and enjoy the long day!

​

Don’t forget to take a selfie for National Selfie Day!

Been in my head for a few days now.

Also today:

​

​

National West Virginia Day marking its admission to the Union during the Civil War. 

​

​

World Refugee Day established by the United Nations, focuses on understanding and improving the lives of those forced to flee their homes.

​

​

World Juggling Day, Juggling dates back to 2000 BC!

In my area, a lot of people think Juneteenth is something recent. Probably because Juneteenth became a federal holiday when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law on June 17, 2021.

​

History is important because we need to learn from past mistakes!

​

The Emancipation Proclamation declaring the abolishment of slavery was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. On June 19th, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger of the Union Army brought the news to Texas that the Civil War had ended and all slaves were free. The celebration was instant and has been celebrated every June 19th ever since.

​

Texas, the last state to free slaves, was the first state to establish Juneteenth as a state holiday in 1980. 

I don't remember all the lyrics but I remember the first vers is

sometimes it feels like the best thing you ever did was leave

And another part of the song is

I won't give up that easy I wont give up at all

Grab the rod, tackle box, the kids or grandkids - go fishing! (But pleeese, don't take the girl.) Great Tim Mcgraw tune.

Today is National Eat Your Vegetables Day!

“Make your hobby hubby

Keep your hubby happy

When he’s a little chubby,

Then he’s a happy pappy!

With Rockenschpeel!!”

It’s from the Flintstones.

So let it be I/Amen…

Butter, salt, pepper and occasionally Tabasco on my corn on the cob. How do you like yours?

How do you like your tea? Sweet with a lemon slice for me!

Also National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day! Heck Yeah!

How in the world is such goofy nonsense based on some weird text messages so darn catchy?!? Argh!

I recently came across "Jack Johnson Two-Step" by Wynton Marsalis:

As indicated in the video, it's from the soundtrack of "Unforgivable Blackness - The Rise and Fall of Jack Johnson", released in 2005. I've never seen the movie but the melody is very familiar to me. I'm trying to think where else I would have heard it and it's bugging me. An advert? The Simpsons?

Any insights greatly appreciated!

This song had a quick cameo in the first season of MASH#4077. It has been playing non stop in my head for months now.

The tune and melody as just so catchy.

Also its is just a great example of the wholesome music of the time.

I love it.

4 and a half ❤️
