Your life is the only one you’re gonna get. And I know that you know it’s not about the skin you’re in. You know it’s the spirit and soul of you. So, I’m preaching to the choir. But if you’ve … The rest of the story…
It’s so cool how fast little kids learn to talk. You’re so young when you start talking that your parents have to tell you about your first words. My mom told me I spoke way before I was a year … The rest of the story…
I’ve shared, a few times here on TonyFunderburk.com, how music can be good for your brain. And I’ve also talked about how music is good for heart healing. Like when I shared this info from a heart healing article: It … The rest of the story…
Choices choices. In this so-called “land of the free,” today, the highest office of government comes down to voting for one of two people (at least if you prefer to vote for someone who could actually “win” the election). An … The rest of the story…
Nope. It’s not fair that the days of your life aren’t perfect. Because what did YOU ever do (or not do) to deserve this mess the world is in? Right? But even though it’s not fair, here you are. Living … The rest of the story…
To say I thoroughly appreciate and enjoy digital technology would be like saying Pete Rose was a decent hitter. Or Michael Jordan was a pretty good basketball player. Yeah. Understatement. But I was big time analog before that was even … The rest of the story…
There’s nothing you can do about it. It’s a fact of life. And death. Yeah, you’ll be a short time here on Earth but a long time gone, somewhere else. Or, maybe you think that a short time here repeats … The rest of the story…
People are doing bad things. Despicable things. On a level that America has never seen before. And you and I have two choices for what to do. Do something. Or do nothing. In fact, the whole world can do something … The rest of the story…
As the “hallowed evening” fast approaches, I see souls scatter like startled roaches. Some parts of it are kinda funny. But most are like the “love of money.” Yeah, Halloween (Neewollah, as its known in Independence, Kansas) sure brings out … The rest of the story…
I enjoy listening to Elon Musk. Especially since he bought Twitter, which he now calls X, and allowed free speech on that platform. And he seems to truly love America. So, he’s got that going for him, too. Obviously he’s … The rest of the story…
As the poet (or some sort of writer or philosopher) said, “time waits for no man.” The seconds tick in the rhythm of your heart. And your heart beats out the minutes and hours of your days. Then, the days … The rest of the story…
Do you hope inside your heart that there’ll be better times ahead? And maybe, despite that hope you still have a foreboding sense of dread. I’d say those are both legitimate perspectives. And I’d also say you could legitimately feel … The rest of the story…
OK, a few years ago I shared a perspective on American independence that I connected with the political environment at the time. In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re in the throes of another political storm. So, I figured this would … The rest of the story…
Pete Rose died recently. I’m sure you know he was a famous baseball player who committed the cardinal sin of betting on baseball even as he managed the Cincinnati Reds. And if you know that, maybe you also know that … The rest of the story…
For several years I wrote a lot of short tunes that became jingles in advertising. And I wrote for all sorts of companies. If you lived in Colorado for any time during the past 20 years, and if you listened … The rest of the story…
For some reason I’ve seen several articles and memes, recently, with the same theme. Moderation is key. They seem to believe it’s the key to happiness. But I say moderation is key if you take it moderately. I know. Clever, … The rest of the story…
A Harvard Health Publishing report from back in 2011 said “one out of three senior citizens suffers at least one fall during the course of a year.” I know you’re too young to be the one out of three. But … The rest of the story…
Your government’s budget (and every other part) is NOT operating on or in a just and wise system. And if you ran your household like politicians run this country, you’d be a dead duck already. Dead duck. That’s kind of … The rest of the story…
Love when you can, cry when you have to. Be who you must, that’s a part of the plan. Await your arrival with simple survival. And one day we’ll all understand. One day we’ll all understand. Those are lyrics from … The rest of the story…
