GEORGE CARLIN'S REFLECTIONS ON LIFE- A MUST READ.
Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.
A Message by George Carlin: The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?

The Palm Beach League welcomed eight new players to four teams after open tryouts at Seminole Palms Park in Royal Palm Beach on Sunday, March 3.
The top pick was 24 year old Matt Zelgewicz, a West Palm Beach resident, who was chosen by the Create-Core Badgers, the only 18AAA team participating in the draft. Zelgewicz was impressive as a pitcher-infielder, showing ability with the bat as well as with the glove. He played college ball with Division II Georgia Perimeter after high school in Augusta, Georgia. He demonstrated a live fast ball and displayed a fine arm in infield drills. His best position when he is not on the mound is third base.
Rodolfo (Rudy) Plasencia, 34, and Brendyn Rojas,19, were both chosen by the 18AA Thunder, which will debut under veteran manager Mike Soulen. Plasencia was a youth league star in Miami and has a lot of Adult League experience in the South Florida Baseball League of Broward and Miami-Dade Counties. Rojas showed versatility, as an infielder and outfielder, and swung the bat well. Rojas now lives in West Palm Beach after growing up in the Miami area. .
The Expos added two pitchers to their 18AA squad when they chose 21-year old Magdiel Cortes of West Palm, and 35-year old Chad Webster, also of West Palm. Cortes played at Forest Hill High School., American Legion Post 12, and saw action with the NABA Palm Beach Pirates. They added a versatile veteran in Danny Means, a 46-year old with lots of Adult League experience, including a season with the Cheetahs last fall.
And, the Dodgers picked up two players in hard throwing pitcher Jedremy Badovick, who can play first base, third base, and outfield as well. Badovick has previous Palm Beach League experience. The Dodgers also claimed 20-year old infielder-outfielder, Leighton Davis, of Lake Park.
