Song Analysis: Someday Never Comes

This 1972 hit song by Creedence Clearwater Revival is essentially a commentary on how, when it comes to things one ought to know and know about in order to make a fulfilling life out of one's existence, such revelations seem to be the very things that are kept secret from you, that nobody wants to let you in on.

Parents, teachers, and church may freely divulge the basic lessons---morals, math, spelling, social customs and etiquette, accepted historical facts, science---while still keeping the more intimate knowledge among themselves and their close friends and associates
...meaning one has to take it upon themselves to either research or somehow figure out, on their own, certain secrets of the world that most are not willing to share (not only that, but "you'd better learn it fast" and "you'd better learn it young"---before your life completely passes you by).

Or, maybe, the reason a parent might tell their child "Someday you'll understand" is because on-one's ever taught them anything essential either, so they honestly don't know anything themselves, and thus have no secret knowledge of their own to pass on.  But, since their kid is so dependent on them as parents to teach them what they don't already know, the parent has to cover up their own ignorance by a "kick-the-can-down-the-road" type of response, sort of trying to creatively give their kid the "runaround" without making it too obvious as to what they're doing.

A reformer is someone who would put his cat on a vegetarian diet because they believe the killing of any conscious living being to be "murder"

A crusader is someone who would prevent a child from tasting chocolate, lest that child become addicted to sweets and later become diabetic or accrue dental problems

Some dingshit has his "microbus" parked sideways in the parking slot (right under my window), with his long ass-end sticking out part-way into the lane of traffic.
Considering the speed limit in this alley apparently ranges from 35 MPH to 40 MPH (all 45 feet of it, from off a main drag to the side street with a branch library on the corner) I'm surprised his megavan hasn't gotten clipped in the rear the whole time he's been here.

Why do people own such large private vehicles anyway?
Because they don't mind spending the rest of their life savings on gas?

As for the alley traffic:  Isn't accelerating, then suddenly stopping or slowing down 3 seconds later a bit hard on the engine?  Or also on the brakes?  Or transmission?

The Beatles had no problem getting a #1 hit with EIGHT DAYS A WEEK, as people in the mid-60s were far more literate than they are today (even on a grade school level), and just knew it was "Eight Days A Week", not "Ate Days A Weak".
Back then, they just KNEW.

I think this January 2019 has studied "The History of Januaries Past" textbook and is well aware that January is not supposed to comprise 45-degree (F) weather---that a REAL January is made up of frigid cold, snow, sleet, and blizzards
...and is a good disciple of seasonal protocol.

C'mon folks, just give the guy his "wall" so that we can all just move on ...
$5 billion.  For most of us that humongous amount of money would be a lifesaver.  We'd be in "seventh heaven" and "total paradise".  Pretty much all OUR worries and concerns would be caught up on and put behind us.  It would be the "good life" for us all the way.  We could start actually LIVING for a change and focus exclusively on our own interests and on making a lifestyle of our own choosing, free from interference from all those pesky invasive outside elements.

But to the U.S. government it's but mere chump change.
When you tally the amount our government routinely wastes on assorted frivolousness, like (for example) granting millions of dollars to universities for various absurd research projects---stuff along the lines of "studying the sex lives of gnats" or "how many beers can a chimpanzee consume in one sitting before reaching the threshold of being considered 'legally drunk' in human comparison" ...not to mention the 2009 corporate bailout of major "too big to fail" companies (initiated by Bush Jr. toward the end of his term, then carried out by the Obama administration shortly after Obama was sworn in), this $5 billion President Trump is asking for to "start building a border wall" doesn't seem like that big a deal after all.

Sure, a bit grandiose and ineffective as any kind of long-term panacea (it would probably take months before construction even begins on it, and even 5 years later it would stand not even half-completed, if not almost abandoned)
...still, a grand gesture of a desire for continued sovereignty on the part of a segment of the U.S. population just the same.

For this reason I think all those concerned should just lump it and vote in favor of financing this President's "wall", however impractical the idea probably is, and end this bullshit partial shutdown and get things moving right along once more
...before this country's algorithms and ecosystem gets any more thrown off-kilter by all this continued systemic atrophy.

I'm so-o-o-o-o-o bored with where I'm living
...think I'll take a trip.

Let's see
...how about heading out to Winnipeg?
Easy enough place to get to.  Columbus to Kansas City, turn right 90 degrees, head north
...or Columbus to Indianapolis, turn 45 degrees to the right, head northwest to Davenport, then straight west to Council Bluffs, THEN turn 90 degrees to the right and head north all the way in.

I have little money to my name, no passport---but what the hell.  I can't even afford a goddamn passport.  If Canadian Customs tries to stop me from continuing on to "the home base of The Guess Who" I'll just flip those gestapo fucks the bird and keep going.
Who do they think they are anyway?  What gives them the right to deny me my right to travel wherever I want in this world?  To restrict my freedom of movement?  What makes Canada so special it's so deserving of some kind of "national autonomy"?  Or to determine me to be "too undesirable to" freely enter their country?  It's just land, towns, cities, and roads and highways----same as anywhere else.

Maybe I should figure out how to sneak in through the woods, or through a back road.  Avoid those tyrannical egocentric gestapos .......

                                        Hobson's Choice
Think how many different products there used to be on the market.
Think of all the products you used to buy on a regular basis that don't exist anymore, that are no longer even manufactured or produced.

Then think about the current consumer market in its present form
...how many varieties of toothpaste there are
...or how  many types of shampoos there are
...or how you get to choose either the regular Oreo cookies or Club crackers or the fat-free or low-sodium versions
...or even how challenging it is to simply buy new batteries for your remote control or your flashlight
...or, even, standard DVDs or Blu-Ray DVDs

I just want to buy toothpaste to clean my teeth with
...I just want to buy shampoo to wash my hair with
...and if I can't handle the ingredients in Oreo cookies and Club crackers in their original unadulterated form them I'll just have to learn to do without them.
