Who would like to be as gorgeous or handsome as anyone could stand?

[Dongie]

Plus be the kindest doll or stud walking and talking. Always putting others first no matter how far it set you back?

Think about it. You are beautiful inside and out and care nothing for monetary gain.

It's great to know there are Romany content people in this world. Everyone except the asker. I wish.

[Juxtapose]

I was with you until you said put others ahead of me no matter how hard it sets me back.

That's going to kill you. The world is a bottomless pit of need, darkness and suffering. If you simply give all your light to that all at once it's going to be sucked out of you and you're dead. In more practical terms, you will work yourself to death or become a slave.

Angels if they existed could afford to be pure because they have Divine magic and won't be as easily destroyed as humans.

[Dongie]

But you are lifted. Blessed above all others. Don't you figure God would keep you covered?

[Juxtapose]

How am I blessed you think?

[Dongie]

Did I say you were blessed? Don't remember. And I'm distracted about this question that's stuck in my crawl.

[Dongie]

Oh, I see. I'm speaking, I guess, in terms of receiving blessings because you go above what is expected of your naturally generous nature.

[Juxtapose]

Well the nature of doing good is your largely on your own and nobody is going to really pat you on the back for it. You could even end up helping people who hate you, but you are in the background doing good because you believe in doing good.

I don't think anything has my back and I could die horribly at any moment. My safety is entirely in my hands and if I commit my life to virtue and don't take care of myself? Nobody will be there to pick up the pieces, I will be left all alone and if I ask for help I will be mocked.

[Juxtapose]

That is the burden of the virtuous in my mind. We are alone, because we are surrounded by evil.

[Juxtapose]

*you're largely on your own

[Dongie]

Oh, there is no good deed that goes unpunished. I'm living proof. From friends to family.

[Juxtapose]

Well you are not filled with hatred and you still seem like a good guy so.. good job. You have done well and if there is a supernatural being I hope it looks out for you.

[Dongie]

Oh, He does. I wished He'd lay some recompence upon me. Like a mil or so. He laughs.

[FunkyMonkee]

Debby Harry.

[Dongie]

I love Blonde. I have the dbl cd.

[FunkyMonkee]

Sorry, I read the question wrong.

[Dongie]

You meant Dirty Harry?

[Dongie]

I figured you placed her in that category. She was cute, loved her mouth.

[FunkyMonkee]

No, I thought the question was: "Who would you like to be as a gorgeous or handsome celebrity?".

[Dongie]

You like her, I see. Me too.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, she's gorgeous. I met her once, too. I couldn't believe she was that short!
There was a psychedelic folk band she was in in the late `60's Wind In The Willows. They only did one album that went nowhere so, they broke up.

[Dongie]

I kinda heard about that. I have loved her since 79. It was not my genre, but she became in mine. I like a lot if her songs.

So she chatted with you? What year?

[FunkyMonkee]

I think it was `78, possibly `79. Mostly, I just got her autograph. Most of the time, I was standing there chatting with her keyboardist, Nigel Harrison and Teddy Pendergrast's drummer. It was right after Teddy was in the car crash because I remember that being a big part of the conversation. We stood there outside the hotel chatting for at least an hour before Debby showed up. I only got autograph's from 5 of them, I think it was Clem Burke that either never showed or refused. He was pissed about the turnout at the concert. I don't see why, the house was packed! Even most of the balcony! At the end of the show, he threw down his sticks, jumped over his drums, ran up to Debby's mic and shouted, "YOU SUCK!!". We should've shouted back, "YOU'VE GOT OUR MONEY!!".

[Dongie]

You're fuckin with me? That ass-cheese. Ungrateful. It was after the release of her album right?

[FunkyMonkee]

You mean the third album, "Parallel Lines"? Yes, a few weeks, or so. It was at the Stanley Theatre which is now The Benedum Center. I've seen LOADS of bands at the Stanley! Devo, Cheap Trick, Todd Rundgren, Frank Zappa, Angel, AC/DC, Alice Cooper, George Carlin (comedian), Doug Henning (magician), I was supposed to see 10 c. c. there but, they cancelled at the last minute. Sadly, I can't recall the rest off the top of my head and, thanks to my ex-sisters, I lost all of my ticket stubs 4 years ago that I saved for decades! There was a lot more I saw at the Civic Arena.

[Dongie]

So that wasn't her first album. Hmm. I was supposed to see Cheap Trick, but shit happened, and I missed it. Craig, brain tumor guy, said the guitarist was a complete freak of nature. Well, I've seen him on youtube now. He doesn't look like he plays. You saw Bon Scott. You shit. He was my favorite from march 80 and he was dead. Jeff told me 6 months later. Jeff introduced me to their music after coming back from Tulsa.

[Dongie]

Alice Cooper too.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yes. He's a VERY nice guy! So is George Carlin!
After the Devo show, we stood at the stage door for well over an hour to get autographs. Most of us got tired of waiting and left! By the time they came out, there was only about 8 of us and, instead of signing autographs, they shoved right through most of us and only signed autographs for one or two people!

[Dongie]

Who?

[Dongie]

Cooper? Not Bon

[FunkyMonkee]

Alice was very nice.
Devo refused to give autographs.
I never met Bon but Angus nearly ran me over up in the balcony.
Another one I saw at the Stanley was Nazareth.

[Dongie]

Nazareth would have been cool. They really have 2 songs that are chart toppers. But they jammed. Alice is a solid Christian.

[FunkyMonkee]

Their entire "Hair Of The Dog" album was great! Especially the last song! And, another song which, I think, was on "Rampant" was extremely good, too. Yes, it WAS on "Rampant" Again, the last song.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yes, he still is! His dad was a preacher and so was his grandfather. His wife's dad was a baptist preacher.

[Dongie]

Whiskey Drinking Woman.
Love Hurts and Hair of the Dog were my favorite. I didn't get into the other stuff like those 2 songs. I wore out a 8-track and a cassette and have the cd of that album.

[Dongie]

I hadn't heard that about his dad. He's cool. I saw him on that show that was a spin off of Pawn Stars. That car guy, Danny. Counts Customs. He's gotta be near 80.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, they used to all preach to Apache Indians in Phoenix.
I'm pretty sure he's 74.

[Dongie]

Still vibrant. Doesn't drink did no drugs.

[StudyingAuthor]

Sounds boring (no offense.) I like being my halfway heartless, halfway ugly self. I like it.

[Dongie]

But you are not ugly. Not if that's you in the picture. You're far from it.

But my point was that in being that way, you would help everybody you encountered that needs it. You wouldn't be conceded, or selfish or in love with yourself. Your first concern would be for the welfare of others. You'd be one of a kind.

[StudyingAuthor]

Eh, I'm one of a kind already. You know like what Corey Taylor said in the heretic anthem:
A hideous man that you don't understand throw a suicide party and I'm guaranteed to fucking snap.

[StudyingAuthor]

And... I'm kinda right... I'm not the baby, I the darker girl holding the baby.

[Dongie]

You have a point. I guess we're all unique to a degree. I'd be happy just being goodlooking.

[StudyingAuthor]

Good for you.

[Dongie]

No, I would be happy. I'm neither happy nor good looking.

[StudyingAuthor]

Awww, well, even if you're not happy, I have some things that'll make you laugh. Like this...

[Dongie]

I take no offense Study girl. I'm just in a fowl mood.

[StudyingAuthor]

Aww, well I tried.

[Dongie]

That WAS funny.

[StudyingAuthor]

Oh okay... thanks.

[Dongie]

So what do you do, write down all that junk and that makes a link to post anything. Is all that right under the video or what,

[StudyingAuthor]

Yeah, I put all the links on a google doc lol.

[Dongie]

What's that?

[Dongie]

Or can u copy and paste by touching it a certain way.

[StudyingAuthor]

Sometimes I forget you're a bit older.
But it's a online document. And you just press the share button and and press copy, then send the link.

[Dongie]

Yeah, but send it how? Or do you really bring it with you?

[StudyingAuthor]

it stays on my laptop.

[StudyingAuthor]

I just copy it and send it.

[Anonymous]

When I was younger I did. But now I realize how many women out there are shallow users. I'd actually rather be ugly because that keeps those users away. 👍💯

[Dongie]

I know that feeling.

[handsomelad70]

Yes, though I'm about as handsome and boyish as a 71-year-old man can get.

[Dongie]

Finally. We have a fuckin winner. 71 year old knows how much getting old sucks. It almost makes living not worth it. After the fact.

[Charliefretz329]

I think I look good enough for my taste lol

[Dongie]

But you have a famous name. Just imagine if I was able to offer it. Damn.

[Charliefretz329]

Do I?

[DJB72]

Nope. Happy as I am

[Dongie]

I don't get it. Are you like the person I described? If not what do you have against being perfect?

[DJB72]

Perfection isn't a destination. It's impossible.

I'm 52 now. If I were "perfect" by today's standards then ten years from now I'd be screwed again.

Life is a journey. Good, bad and downright ugly. Why would I want to be something so superficial as "perfect" by this world's definition?

[Dongie]

Why not? Better than imperfect. I wish I could change every physical attribute of myself. Age too.

[DJB72]

The problem with being perfect is that the last time there was a perfect man, the leaders of the day nailed him to a wooden beam for pointing out their imperfections.

Sounds a bit too much for me...

[Dongie]

Look where He's at now.

[DJB72]

Yeah, but the pressure...

I'm not cut out to save the whole world. Especially by being crucified...

[Dongie]

Yeah, me either. That's His.

[DJB72]

Yup. But I'll follow Him to the day I die

[Dongie]

I know beautiful.

[NathanDavis]

no thanks
