First Fight-A BUD REFLECTION

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

THIS WAS A TRIP THAT CHANGED MY IMAGE

I’m sure when I was two I fought over a toy with my other siblings but that is past the brain cells that I’m currently carrying yet I do remember “The Fight on the Yellow Bus“. I must have been about 7 or 8 years old and the bus bully would decide which seat he wanted to sit in and if he chose your seat you had to get up. The only problem is when you got up you were set up for ridicule among your other classmates and I was receiving enough ridicule for my dribbling (not the basketball type) and my lack of self confidence. So when the bus bully pointed to my seat I decided to stand my ground.  This led to a fight in the back of the bus while the driver continued on his route. When the bus driver got to my stop I began to leave the bus with a bloody lip and new earned respect from the bully and my fellow classmates.

Deforesting and Ebola

WHAT PROTECTION FOR THEM?

I’m all for capitalistic expansion but not where death lies.  It has been suggested that the outbreak of Ebola is do to deforesting efforts, that have caused fruit bats to spread this disease where humans have not gone before. If this is correct we truly have to reconsider how we utilize the resources we use to grow our economy. Here are a few ways (below) we can consider to increase wealth without increasing death.

(1) Review carefully the animals that live in the terrain that we are consider building in  or working in (Gold Mines) . If these animals can securely be moved to different terrain then expansion can occur but if there animals can’t be moved and if there impact would be detrimental to the human population then other routes must be drawn up.

(2) If necessary build sky scrapers instead of individual housing units to enable the terrain around the area to be left alone.

(3) If Mining must be done workers must be fully protected as well as the animals that reside in those terrain (netting might be effective and/or robotic assistance)

(4) Company Officials that knowingly put their workers in harms way should face legal prosecutions for their actions.

Presidential -Dictator/Red Dawn Revised

Posted by Bruce - in arts and entertainment, Blog, Uncategorized - No Comments

red dawn 2

What if there was a President who’s poll numbers were sinking, who didn’t truly believe in constitutional limits of power but loved all the bells and whistles that came with the position but didn’t want to leave office when his/her time was up?  This should have been the premise beyond “Red Dawn” where the United States faces a takeover by an enemy power. This enemy doesn’t truly invade the country but is invited to come in by the “President” so he/she could reign way past their term in office and have the dictatorial powers that come with their new position.  Here’s how I would such an action pact thriller.

(1) The President attends a gala fundraiser with his/her most elite supporters from the press, actors and  business welfare participants in attendance. While thousands of ordinary citizens outside protest his/her policies.

(1) Several “terrorist attacks” occur in the United States including one inflicting major injuries to those protesting the President. The President responds by declaring martial law before the election.  The election is also “postponed” and other freedoms are severely restricted.

(2) The President invites a friendly nation to help deal with the unrest that is occurring due to these restrictions and a secret deal is signed.

(3) These are claimed to be”temporary measures” that are there for the common good and bring peace and fairness to our country.

(4)  A small town in Texas sees the true invasion occur right before their eyes.

Early Riser-AWESOME!

WHO DO YOU THINK GET’S UP THE ROOSTER?

I’ve always loved being an early riser, to be up before the rooster sings his little song. The morning time is my most free time when I don’t have to worry or think about what anyone else is doing or how their feeling because they’re usually sleeping. It enables the creative spirit to flow like a river stream down a fall.   Early Risers get things accomplished while others only dream about it.

Except More

 path

I’ve always considered that if you have low expectations that you can’t be hurt but could this also result in low returns? According to Joel Olsteen it does  and therefore instead we should expect more from G-D and then reap the rewards. It’s an interesting perspective but I’m wondering if you keep adding helium to the balloon in a closed room will it find a way to the window to escape? Another words just because you expect G-D to fulfill your wishes does that mean G-D will point you in the right direction. I believe while G-D works with your desires G-D might have a different path for you that might have many curves on the road and in a different spot. Therefore it’s important to ask G-D for help but know that by your good deeds the true path will come through that is truly right for you.

When we suffer pain it can be difficult at times to describe where it actually occurs and more importantly whether we should seek medical care? Maybe it’s just gas or G-D forbid a small heart attack. “The Pain Detector” will help solve that problem. This small hand held device will enable those to pinpoint the actual location of the pain and keep a record of it with time and date to send to your doctors office.   It also will enable you to register the duration of such a pain and contact emergencies services should it deem necessary.  Further developments of this product will enable you to release pain killers in the area that is inflicted.This device will work with your “Smart Phone” so the pain of the future will bring you the relieve you truly need.

Kindness

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

kindness

Where does true kindness come from and how can we truly determine if we are such a person? It is easy to be polite and kind to those who share similar traits but how about those who have done you wrong can you express that love to them? Yet  where does the line of kindness end and being a sucker begin?

Maybe a little Bible/Torah story might help expound on this issue. It is said when a few of the Jewish people built the Golden Calf that G-D’s lovingly protective clouds were withdrawn. Yet what we discover is that these clouds weren’t withdrawn but the Jewish people felt such guilt from that sin that they felt undeserving of such protection and love. Those who committed the sin directly and were unrepentant were ultimately punished but the rest were shown true kindness. Then isn’t incumbent on us to be kind to those that have wronged us giving them the opportunity to seek forgiveness through word or deed rather then perpetrate the hate? If on the other hand if they continue down this path just remember G-D gave us only two cheeks and maybe it’s time to show them the hand instead.
