Welcome to the site that keeps on changing. I was going to just have a blank white screen as that is how I am feeling these days. Take it as it is. I figured that would confuse people and so here are words. Read them or not. Do what you will. The last site was actually two sites for anyone that remembers and I was going to do another site within those two sites. Well; we'll see what happens. I may change this again in a day, a week, a month... who knows.
So for those who have stumbled on this site and are wondering who, what, and why. This is a website for Tom Foley the musician and not Tom Foley who ran for governor in Connecticut. Tom Foley the musician, whose site you are visiting, will be presenting recent and latest music on this site soon. Stay tuned for that.
Now I know you want to ask about the picture. I'm sure you are thinking what the heck is that all about. Well, this is the way I want to be... at peace. Unfortunately I am not as I'm sure most people are. With everything going on in the world from countries in political turmoil and war including Libya, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan and with the economic crisis going on in the world from Greece, Portugal and our own mess here in the United States.... it just seems to be a bit much these day. People are losing confidence and losing their jobs (as well as their sanity. And so I am kind of projecting; not the way I think I am but the way I want to be... at peace.
Anyway who knows me knows that I can sometimes be at peace but not these days. RIght now I am smoking a cigarette and trying not to bite my fingers. Does anyone feel like I do? Do you feel that the whole world is like a train heading to a cliff and nothing is being done about it. It really makes you wonder who the leaders of the world are and just how inept they are.
On a slightly positive note, there are always good people to help others. I do what I can and hope others can do the same by helping anyone or any organization when possible. I think focusing on small details like one's personal life (paying bills, planning a get together with friends, making sure your life is organized better, etc...) and trying to make a difference for someone no matter how small helps remove any negative and discouraging thoughts. All we can do is try.
So hopefully soon we will be seeing some music (again). And hopefully more people in the world try to think positive and be positive so we can rearrange our priorities and feel better about ourselves in the world.
Someone should really contact MSNBC and the History channel about their content on television. MSNBC seems to be obsessed with murder and jail. Last year on the fourth of July they played programs about people being murdered all day and at night they played that "Lockup" series about being in jail. That's great MSNBC. So special that you played murder and jail all day to celebrate our country. And trust me here on this one.... I am no MSNBC basher who watches Fox News. There is no political bias in one direction. This is not about politics (especially since I am an Independent and really can't stand either part - Republican or Democrat). I'm just tired of MSNBC playing murder all day. Murder, murder, murder. That's all MSNBC cares about. And the History channel (also the Discovery channel) seem to be playing end of the world shows constantly. It's either dooms day programs, the world after people are gone, the earth being hit with meteors and much... much more happy themes. I guess fear sells. MSNBC and the History channel are taking a page from the Glenn Beck show. Sell some good old fashioned fear and you will get ratings. I say just stop watching. Ignore. Avoid. I'm at the point where I'd like to see a channel that has puppies playing or a nice fish tank. And this is coming from a long haired, black leather jacket, foul mouthed musician who likes to get loud sometimes and drink. Yeah. I'm stressed. Aren't we all.
It's time to listen. Listen to yourself breath. Take some time out to be thankful. Each morning I wake up and kneel down in my bed, lean forward, close my eyes... and thank the universe for what I have. This is something new I've been doing. It kind of feels like a meditation. Try it. I think the whole world needs to take a break and listen to silence, be thankful for what it has, and go in peace.
