Back in December of 2012 I blogged about the ‘Words of Wisdom’ area businesses placed on their marquees. Just like me, everyone has a comment about something. So, once again, I decided to comment on their wisdom. Since the pickin’s were slim, remember we are in that transitional time of year, I decided to include the video of a popular song. Think of it as an added bonus.
LIVE YOUR LIFE SO YOU WON’T HAVE TO HIDE YOUR DIARY
Unfortunately, some people need to hide their diaries regardless. The more I thought about this, I realized the reverse was also true. If you led this boring-ass life, you really have nothing to hide. No one’s going to want to read something that lame. Take my life for example. It’s relatively quiet; normally a snooze fest. I even get bored. I kinda’ like that though. That’s why I like writing so much. I can “Fictionalize” any “Memoir” therefore transforming “My Life” into a wonderful e-book. My problem is that I actually want people to read it. So if you haven’t picked up a copy yet -please do so. Just click that book cover icon over to the right.
OUR ROADS ARE HOLIER THAN THE NEW POPE.
Yes, I realize the Pope has been around for close to a year already, but, like I said, the pickin’ were slim. Originally, I placed this in my ‘blog ideas’ file a while back and decided now was as good a time as any. The bad news for Traverse is that the Road Commission has probably already run out of money from the long winter to even think about fixing those potholes. Eighth Street between Woodmere and Boardman is beyond awful. This works quite well for Juniors Tires, a local tire realtor. Their location is smack dab in the middle of pothole hell. Coincidence? I think not. Since I’ve already been there once, it just doesn’t matter.
On to that song I referenced in the title.
Pompeii by the band Bastille is awesome. Well until it gets killed by the radio and we get sick of listening to it that is. But for now, it’s way awesome. Even more awesome is this video I found. The song is performed live with a violin orchestra. WOW – COOL!

I also decided that some of the lyrics could be potential marquee material.
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Alone or separate, either way those lines rock.
Enjoy
P.S. At post time Roy’s General store had something very fun on their marquee. I really don’t think it would be qualified as Words of Wisdom by any means, but it is … informative?!
WE HAVE GALVANIZED NIPPLES
