Opinions and Thoughts of LightHouse Dann Verner - Just as he is!

Here is a statement released by Richard Wright and published on the Facebook Group, it is in regards with my previous post at the bottom of this page.

OMG! Now They Want To Use Saint Patrick's Day As A Media Bitch? There comes a time when a movements urge and persistence destroys their cause in the eyes of a logical person. First let me state - I am not homophobic. Now, here is my beef.  In just about all public agenda's the Pride Movement has stolen the actual meaning by claiming prejudice or alienation. This applies to ALL political area's, every type of public gathering and lately parade's.  Today, it is The Saint Patrick's Day Parade's. For those who are not sure of the true meaning of this "celebration", here is Wikipedia's answer: Saint Patrick's Day  or the  Feast of Saint Patrick  ( Irish :  Lá Fhéile Pádraig , "the Day of the Festival of Patrick") is a cultural and religious  holiday  celebrated annually on 17 March, the death date of the most commonly-recognised  patron saint  of  Ireland ,  Saint Patrick  ( c.  AD 385–461). Sai...

Milli Vanilli Was Not The Worst So, we all know what is happening on this gorgeous planet. We all say things have to change. We all pledge to assist in saving the Earth. Then, we all jump into an over horse-powered vehicle, attend the drive through at Tim Horton's, light a cigarette and scratch the itch that damn polyester sweater gave us. Wonder what is up with that? This old LightHouse has some good news and some bad news for you all. The good news being that no matter how much damage we cause Earth Mother, no matter how much garbage we dump into Her ocean's, no matter how many chemicals we spew into Her air – She shall repair herself. She does not need us to assist Her in cleansing Herself. Earth Mother knows what She is doing. She was doing this long before we decided we are the superior ones. She has cleansed before. The Ice Age, The Dark Age, The Black Plague, Smallpox, Earth quakes, Tsunami's, The GREAT Flood, Pompeii, Milli Vanilli an...

Within the confines of my mind there lays a wandering gnome who is constantly challenging my perception of life in general. For story-line purposes we shall call the gnome, “Dann”. He has two fellow debater's, Shakie, the Dark Thinker and myself, LightHouse, the Light of Reasoning. Just today, for instance, Dann asked us if it is worth it to live such a solitary life. This led to a huge dissection of my existence and what purposes I have used to justify being so. Shake would say: Yes, my social life is almost non-existent. Yes, I am often lonely for adult companionship. Yes, I live on one third of the poverty level set by Revenue Canada. Yes, I am reclusive. LightHouse would enlighten: My non-existent social life is spent conversing with many dear friends many hours daily. Either via social media sites, emails, phone calls or my blogs. Often friends pop by, I do not need to advertise their visits. I am often lonely for the compa...

LGBT Pride or Pride In General OK, here we go ........  Firstly, I am not homophobic. Secondly, I take pride in living a life that serves as a role model for others. It is getting to the point whereas I am almost convinced to stop watching my television.  For many months I watched and listened as City Hall spent more time trying to dethrone the Mayor, other then running our beautiful city. This media ruckus still continues, but, alas, like everyone else I have grown immune to it.  Now, God Bless those trustee's that had the courage to begin the discussion concerning the nudity at the Pride Parade. This is a topic that can be very volatile and biased.  Personally, I expect a lot of angry feedback from what I am about to author. I have lived on this planet for fifty-six and a half years, of which I have spent thirty-four of as a resident of Toronto. I have NEVER approved of the Pride Parade. Like our Mayor, I have never, nor shall I ever, attend such. No...

First off - Congratulations to Canada for the Gold Medal!!! OK, let's see - - - first the Olympics was all about the rainbow flag shit, not about the sports.   Now, the world see's Canada as a place were alcohol is hand in hand with sports . What is WRONG with this picture? Sports promotes an active and healthy lifestyle, whereas booze destroys health, spirit and families .  I just do not get why it is necessary to get drunk to watch a hockey game - especially at 6am. How many kids are waking up on Sunday morning to drunken idiots staggering in the home? I was brought up that Sunday was a family day - big Sunday breakfast and ending with the family meal at supper. I drink, usually in exces s, but, I just do not get the coalition between healthy sports and destructive alcohol. SMH!  Hug your kiddies people, but use mouthwash first. .... Geeese! OK, now everyone who is intoxicated can be mad at me - but you do know that I speak a truth.  Now, take y...

"Been a long time since I left adolescence" It seemed like a marvellous plan at the time, me leaving home to become a roaming long haired leaping gnome. The Elders tried to warn me of what lay ahead on the path called life. I never did listen well. I would walk many a charmed path and I most definitely crawled through many a briar ridden uphill struggle to reach a life lesson. I have no regrets, but the ones I am tormented by. The darkness within for the many wrongs I mastered. I can only suffer in my own guilt till such a time as I face The Judgement and plead my case. Living my most memorable years from the late sixties till present day, I have Blessed my soul with meeting over ten thousand souls - visited many places and if Jimi Hendrix was to sing to me, "Have YOU ever been experienced?" I would reply "Yes, yes I have." I began dabbling in drug culture at the ripe age of ten. Shocking as it sounds, truth so it is. Times were changing then. Co...

Here is a little Facebook status that I just had to re-post because it needed to be said. I am not homophobic - I am simply stating that an International or, actually, any sporting or entertainment venue is not the place nor the time to do such things. Stealing the spotlight does not do well for striking your mark................ Quote: "When did the Olympics become a sexual thing? I refuse to watch them because I am SO SO sick hearing about the rainbow shit. Where are the heterosexual flags OR BETTER YET - LET'S MAKE SPORTS ABOUT SPORT AND NOT WHO IS SCREWING WHO. SO SICK OF THIS PRIDE SHIT, GETS OLD AFTER A WHILE. FIRST CANADA DAY, NOW THE OLYMPICS. THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE FOR EVERYTHING. WE DON'T EVEN HAVE A STRAIGHT PRIDE DAY! NOW WHOEVER WANTS CAN GET AS MAD AS THEY WANT, BUT I AM SICK OF IT TAKING OVER ALL SOCIAL AND SPORT MEDIUMS." "no offence meant for any body - my beef is where and how they are doing it. It steals the spotlight from the games t...

OK, I will try to say this with out sounding like a bigot ........ All over the news is this thing to make it ok for those of you who are illegally here in Toronto, (apparently there are 400,000) to go to shelters or food banks. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE???  Does the news tell everyone that if you are born and raised here and  receive Child Tax you cannot get help from the Salvation Army here in Scarborough? Do they ever show pictures of Canadian born children hungry??? Ontario is sliding so far down hill with its politics and catering to others that we are now a national joke. We will spend millions on gay pride, wastefully spend money studying why cement falls off the Gardiner Expressway - (which, as my 9 year old pointed out, is caused by gravity, that is what makes things fall, so there the mystery is solved). The money spent studying the poor could be better spent feeding the poor - AND I DO NOT MEAN THE POOR WHO ENTERED AND LIVE HERE ILLEGALLY. I MEAN THE POOR WHO...

Reminiscence   – yes, do it! For within our past lays what is within our future.  We learn from our days gone by – be it good or not so good – life lessons for the wandering soul, the stay at home persona and the youth on the grow. You humans are flawed and this is a trait best served on the platter of knowledge with a side order of “Now I knows”. Who has not gained experience from hindsight? Who has not risen after falling into the murky waters of “Oops!” In my half century plus upon this Atomic Mother Earth, I have fallen, crashed & burned, swallowed the acrid waters of defeat, wallowed in the churning pools of success and danced within the jaws of Satan himself . Many an occasion have I believed my end had finally arrived, (as it did seven times), only to discover that although I danced in His jaws, I walked with The Original Hippie, or as you humans have named him, the Son of God.  I am not a ‘holy’ man by any means. I have a belief in The...
