Stunning Last Sunset On Last Sunday On Last Day Of 2023 At Apollo Beach Tampa Bay Blessed Home - IMRAN™ What a magnificent moment. What a stunning end to the stunning last sunset on the last Sunday on the last day of the year. What an interesting, complex, challenging, yet blessed, and incredible year 2023 was. Grateful to still be standing, and walking, and talking, and joking, and breathing, and smiling, and working, and eating, and writing, and creating, and composing, and traveling, and loving, and dreaming.... because the best is yet to come! K2 and Kennedy, enjoying the chilly and windy weather, join me in wishing you a Happy New Year.

Meet Joe Platt, The Walking Case Of Irony Personified - IMRAN™ You will get a kick out of this. Share any examples of you experiencing something like this. You and I know atrocious grammar (not just typos) is sadly far too common even among people born into English speaking households here in America. But it gets funnier when they try to educate others. You see me often comment with humorous literally one-liner comments on posts. They're written to fit in one visible line on the FB app comment window. But meet Joe Platt, the death angel of irony and grammar. He saw my half-line comment poking fun at a wannabe-alpha male's gun-shaped swimming pool, but decided to show how "edumacated" he was (as an ex-girlfriend beautiful Catherine Ginter jokingly used to refer to such people). Glancing at just the first two posts on the dude's page was more than I could handle. I had to have some fun. Enjoy my reply to him! "Joe Platt, I try to minimize words in comments on most posts to fit in a one-line view on the app. Perhaps you've occasionally seen a newspaper headline or a magazine blurb, which forego full sentences for brevity. (Forgive me if that was too long a sentence for you). But, if you REALLY want to discuss grammar..... let's take just the two posts at the top of Your page and I can try to educate you a bit. The word is "crybaby" not "cry baby".... And you mean that your "child is TOO wild" and not "child is to wild". 🤣😂 Hope your kids are taught by someone more qualified than you. I guess they don't teach actual grammar... OR irony... at Hodgson Vocational where you went. Probably went there to learn how to clean gun-shaped swimming pools. LOL" Hopefully that was the last idiot I have to deal with in 2023!

Thought For Food: What’s The Least Used Part Of Your House? - IMRAN™ I don’t cook, and I often eat out whether alone or with loved ones. So my dining rooms and dining tables tend to not be used for actual dining regularly. 😃 In my blessed NY home of 30 years my full-glass dining-table is actually covered with piles of about 2000 books & magazines. It’s a miracle it hasn’t shattered under the load. Every NY trip I browse and read about 100 as I eat or just flip through them. but then a new supply arrives. The magazines are winning the battle for space. 😂 Thankfully I have more space in my gratitude-filled Florida home. Plus, I don’t receive much mail and only a few magazines here. So, the dining table here is far less used, sometimes used as a temporary place for my cameras and tech toys. I didn’t even bother to change the not-my-style colors the previous occupants had it ten years ago! But, in general, I’ve stuck to my resolve to avoid making it a massive horizontal library. I usually eat at the kitchen counter, where I have an Apple iPad Pro, a Microsoft laptop, and a Neat vertical Teams frame. That way I can multitask and attend parallel meetings … even as I gulp down but still enjoy whatever food God has blessed me with. I avoid doing that “mini-office” cruelty to this dining room. If I have made a nice steak or had some great Japanese meal delivered, that kind of meal I’ll savor on the dining table, simple and sparse as it is. Sometimes though I’ll just mix things up a bit, to change some colors and add some variety. I just took some random pictures of my current mood and theme for it today. Just because it’s the least used part of the house, that’s no reason it can’t look good, right?

Tampa Bay Times Editors Shoot & Kill Grammar After Writing - IMRAN™ Where’s the grammar police in this newspaper? Talk about false accusations of murder. Tampa Bay Times’ news summary had this doubly unfortunate news blurb today, December 27, 2023. “Homicide in Largo: Pinellas deputies have arrested two teenage brothers after shooting and killing their sister on Christmas Eve.” In one sentence, the writer or editor managed to murder grammar, and to accuse the police of murder too. 😳 The real news was that two (pathetic juvenile armed) brothers had a fight about Christmas gifts. They had guns (essential Christmas ornaments in that family apparently). They had a shootout after one brother shot & killed their own sister (a mother of two kids) at gramma’s house. And… later… the police arrested the brothers. Then the writer murdered grammar. Cops didn’t murder a woman and then somehow arrest the brothers as the story is written. 🙄 © 2023 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #news #tragedy #GunControl #writing #editing #grammar #humor #newspapers #crime #police #editors #guns #tragedy #IMHO #commentary Pinellas County Government Pinellas County Sheriff's Office #wordplayTampa Bay Times Editors Shoot & Kill Grammar After Writing - IMRAN™ Where’s the grammar police in this newspaper?

Fly / By / Wire - IMRAN™ A helicopter flew by while I was walking on the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. I quickly whipped out my shiny new iPhone Pro 15 Max. I managed to capture the chopper perfectly framed between the massive cables of the bridge. Geeks and pilots have known the term “fly-by-wire” for decades. That's since modern airplanes began to be flown with electronically-controlled surfaces and systems. No editing or processing was done. It really was a stunningly "Blue Skies" day! Like that aviation phrase, this photo’s title is also an homage to flight, as well as visual wordplay: Fly/By/Wire. © 2023 IMRAN™ #Architecture, #autumn, #Aviation, #bluesky, #Bridge, #BrooklynBridge, #engineering, #Flying, #Helicopter, #IMRAN, #Manhattan, #NewYork, #NewYorkCity, #pilots, #puns, #wordplay, #travel, #travelogue,Fly / By / Wire - IMRAN™ A helicopter flew by while I was walking on the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan.

Just A Simple Home (Un)Cooked Meal - IMRAN™ Just kidding on all fronts. I don’t cook so it’s both not-cooked and uncooked. Nothing simple about Japanese foods like sushi and speciality rolls. But they are easy to order at home as cooked or uncooked as you want. Of course, wasabi, ginger, great Kikkoman soy sauce, and a bubbly Pepsi are essential to my enjoyment of it. Japanese, Pakistani, Pakistani-Chinese, and French are among my favorite cuisines. I had no time for breakfast or lunch because it was one of the most Manic Monday days I’ve had in a long time. Ordering food delivery of a few favorite dishes was the order of the day … and the order of the night. © 2023 IMRAN™ #food #Japanese #IMRAN #photography #bokeh #sushi #sashimi #fish #cooking #puns #humor #wordplay #home #dining #style #foodieJust A Simple Home (Un)Cooked Meal - IMRAN™ Just kidding on all fronts.

Another Aerial Picture Perfect Chill Canines Tranquil Tuesday Winterish Windy Stunning Sunset Terrific Tampa Bay Blessed Dockside Delight - IMRAN™ It was a windy almost winter-like cold day on Tampa Bay today. The dogs accompanied me to the dock to catch a sunset and see some dolphins (video later). I had realized what a gorgeous sunset the cloud patterns to the west were going to create. As the DJI M3P drone took off, I had it shoot a bracket of 5 rapid-fire photos. The drone combined them in-flight to create this gratitude and magic filled selfie and portrait with the perfect sunset as a backdrop. I polished up the HDR (high dynamic range) in Adobe Lightroom Classic & Photoshop, and added my watermark. Can you see where it is? It is not on the perfect blue water, nor the magical golden clouds or perfect azure sky. © 2023 IMRAN™ #aerial, #ApolloBeach, #Architecture, #Beach, #BeachLife, #DJI, #drone, #Fall, #Florida, #GermanShepherds, #GSD, #Home, #IMRAN, #landscape, #Lifestyle, #seaside, #Sunset, #TampaBayAnother Aerial Picture Perfect Chill Canines Tranquil Tuesday Winterish Windy Stunning Sunset Terrific Tampa Bay Blessed Dockside Delight - IMRAN™ It was a windy almost winter-like cold day on Tampa Bay today.

Kennedy & K2 Know How To Pose For Perfect Portraits - IMRAN™ These German Shepherd Dogs somehow know how to pose for perfect portraits and photographs. I did not position them in any way. They’re naturals. I was literally walking back home from a quick walk. As I looked over my shoulder to see where they were, I realized it was such a PAWlaroid moment. I thought for sure one or both would move in the time I pulled my iPhone out and turned on the camera. But they both held their poses perfectly still until I had clicked. The awesome weekend weather and colors of Tampa Bay waters, sky, and palm trees made a perfect background. I got the plant near me to the right to capture the straight line it made with the dogs. © 2023 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #Florida #TampaBay #GSD #dogs #GermanShepherds #gratitude #weekend #autumn #seaside #beach #animals #petsKennedy & K2 Know How To Pose For Perfect Portraits - IMRAN™ These German Shepherd Dogs somehow know how to pose for perfect portraits and photographs.
