“Still a man hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest“

Paul Simon

Simon & Garfunkel had quite an influence on me growing up. Even though I haven’t heard any of their songs in almost 40 years, I can still recite many of the lyrics. The song that these words came from was called “The Boxer” from their album Bridge over Troubled Water released in 1970.

I kinda think that this quote is more relevant, at least for me and maybe for all those octogenarians still alive, than it was some 50 years ago.  I simply can’t stand to turn on my news feeds to see  we have taken another step to oblivion. Where I used to spend an hour or so reading the news of the day I now spend about 5 minutes. That is all I can take now. In order to keep my sanity 

I Disregard The Rest…

I kinda think that is my new purpose in life but then again, maybe it has been all along. “Disregard the rest”… yeah, I think it is.
