Giving Up Social Media?

RJ Walters

No, I am not one of those old people who is against everything invented in the last 20 years. Nor am I a person who spends the typical 2 hours a day clicking through my social media accounts. I am a user but only to a very limited degree. But, maybe even that is going to change. I certainly understand the importance of having instant communications between a diversity of people across the world. They say Facebook has brought people together. It has billions of users so that must be the case. My problem with social media is that there … Continue reading Giving Up Social Media?

Seeking a Joyous Journey – The Secret To It All

RJ Walters

I know most writers save their ultimate secrets until the end of the story. But, if you haven’t figured it out by now, I am different. I am going to give you the ultimate secret to life right now. ;) Always Open Your Mind To Different Possibilities. To me, being closed minded is the ultimate in stupidity. Yes, I realize that many of us are just too fearful to think there might be another way to live our lives. For some, it just takes a giant leap to actually make changes. I could say those people are in a rut, … Continue reading Seeking a Joyous Journey – The Secret To It All

Augmented Realities – Frank Lloyd Wright – Westcott

RJ Walters

Augmented Realities #2 is based on a photo of the Westcott home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It is near Columbus Ohio. It was built in 1908. In the 1940s it was converted to apartments. Finally in 2004 it underwent a complete restoration to take it back to the original design. I give you my “Alternative Reflection” of what it is today.

Seeking a Joyous Journey -Rules

RJ Walters

I am one of the many people who regularly watch NCIS on TV. There are so many NCIS’s now that I guess I need to expand that sentence. I’m talking about the one with Leroy Jethro Gibbs. One of the things I like about him is his rules. I don’t know how many rules he has, but his team seems to know them all. When I was trying to find a format for this new project of RJsCorner I thought of Jethro and his rules, so I thought I would start my set of rules on having a joyous life … Continue reading Seeking a Joyous Journey -Rules

Introducing Augmented Realities

RJ Walters

Augmented Realitiesis a new category for me here at RJsCorner. It is meant to allow my creative side a little more leeway in my life. Most of the posts in this category will be where I take some of my favorite photos and expose them to artistic apps to turn them into “art”. Of course art is in the eye of the beholder, so I will wait for your judgement on whether I am doing a good job. The first installment is a picture of me taken at a cafe attached to the Westside Market in Cleveland. It was taken … Continue reading Introducing Augmented Realities

Poetry at RJsCorner??

RJ Walters

I have always been fascinated by poetry. But in my early years I was taught that poetry was for sissies and no young boy wants to be a sissy. As typical with many young people, I was introduced to poetry by Edger Allan Poe and particularly “The Raven”. The words of that poem certainly painted a vivid picture. Most of Poe’s works were dark in nature, but as I learned that is not what poetry is necessarily all about. It’s hard to put a definition on poetry. It seems there are about as many definitions as there are poets. Some … Continue reading Poetry at RJsCorner??

March 31 – Sunday Snippets

RJ Walters

I know you are expecting something about the Mueller Report here but I am staying away from that until the dust settles some more. I don’t personally need to jump in on all the speculation. I’ll let other wallow in the mud for a while to see what sticks. But, it really won’t change my opinion of the guy in the Oval Office that much either way. It’s just a matter whether we add “treasonous” to his label or not. “Biggest Liar, Most Self-Centered, Most Spiteful, Most Ignorant, Most Untrustworthy, Uber Narcissist, Sexual Abuser president in the history of our … Continue reading March 31 – Sunday Snippets

Sunday Snippets – March 24, 2019

RJ Walters

Oh No!! – Not Beto I see where a one-term Texas Congressman has declared he wants to be president! Is this what our presidency has come down to? Yeah, he like Trump, has made a big flash in the pan so to speak. I have heard that he is a bigger narcissist than Trump! He does outrageous things like riding a skateboard and jumping on any lunch counter he can find. He could at least take off his shoes before he jumps on the counter so the waitress probably making minimum wage doesn’t have to spend hours cleaning up the … Continue reading Sunday Snippets – March 24, 2019
