Too much or not Enough

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

uneven-scale-1  uneven-scale-2

I either take things too seriously or not enough.  There are times when everything appears as if it belongs on an SNL skit or other times on Law & Order. Here are just a few examples (below) of the unjust scale in my head.

TOO SERIOUS

  1. MY MISTAKES- The mistakes I’ve made sometimes harbor in my head much longer then anyone’s head.
  2. WORK- I’ve worked for most of my life and only recently have discovered the importance of some rest and relaxation (just some)
  3. TIME- Fear of wasting time has made even moments of relaxation restless.

NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH

  1. MY ACCOMPLISHMENTS- I don’t seriously contemplate what I’ve achieved in my life and as such keep moving as if nothing occurred in the past.
  2.  G-D’S ROLE-  Taking the time to figure out how each piece is forming a greater picture is something I seriously miss out on.
  3. POWER- I’ve only recently discovered the influence I have on others especially loved ones whether it be by words or actions.

Even I’m excited about this fashion news “the dress that Marilyn Monroe wore when she sang happy birthday to President John F Kennedy is up on the auctioning block”. It’s not only a dress but a part of a mysterious history that leads to many a conspiracy theory. What is amazing is how well this dressed has been preserved after so many years and what price this dress will receive on the auctioning block in November.  I can guarantee you one thing the person who buys it will probably never wear it and if they do it will be far from any foods or liquids.

Putin & Donald Trump

During the Commander in Chief Forum Donald Trump has repeated the lines that he believes he could get along with the Russian leader Vladimir Putin, a powerful leader who strongly differs with us on the Democratic will of the people.  What would this truly mean in a Trump administration?  I believe it is you stay out of my territory then I’ll stay out of your territory  while we concentrate on those areas we should work together on such as ISIS and Radical Islamic Terrorist around the world.  If the U.S could work with Stalin a ruthless, savage dictator to eliminate a more murderous threat “Hitler” then maybe we should see how far we can push this relationship together today instead of continuing to pull it apart. Russia is far from the power it was during the Evil Empire days so maybe giving them a bit more room to flex their muscles will help us pull back some muscles where they’ve been pulled out to far.  They say it’s best to know your enemies before your friends but maybe trying to make enemies of the past friends might be the Trump plan that pulls out America’s Aces.

Apple IPhone 7 – Too Technical

i-phone-7

There was a time when a new I Phone was an event that the world waited with anticipation but today it’s just a bunch of technocrats.  For the I Phone had innovation that even those who weren’t phone savoy were enticed to buy one but today it’s just little tweaks that only those who are true Apple Addicts will get excited back such as a fancier camera and new port for the ear phones.  It’s time to put Steve Jobs memories into reality and create Apple products that truly create a revolution for all technocrats and even us regular people.

Met’s VS Cincinnati – My Win Your Loss

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Philosophy - No Comments

Mets VS Cincinnati

As I watched my Met’s beat Cincinnati and hoped St Louis would lose as well I realized a key factor in most of our life’s, for us to win someone else must lost.  It can be a simple bid where Joe Shmoe wins Jack Shmoe loses or even this blog piece where you read what Bud Rebel says but then have to ignore Brat Rebel (sorry Brat).  Even in “group efforts” one will be designated the leader while others will lose that opportunity.  The key therefore is to try to make your wins better for others then if someone else was victorious. It could mean giving an extra dollar to charity,finding a way to build greater success in your work place, or just being more fun and happy then your competition. Don’t feel bad this isn’t just a homosapien trait as one animals meal is another’s life.   Competition makes us all a bit better and hopefully knowing that your win resulted in another’s  loss will do the same as well.

Judge Clinton -PLEASE READ & SHARE

Blind Justice Hillary Texting

For justice to work it must judge an individuals acts as if doesn’t see the person who is accused of committing such an egregious act.  We should not pass judgement on someone because we like or dislike their personality, whether they will be beneficial to us or hurt us but whether what they did is wrong no matter what or who they are.  It is also important that we don’t temper our judgement by those who prosecute such a case in the public (Donald Trump) or private light but the facts of the case. Therefore the key is not  to balance this person supposed actions  by what favors us or even society but whether justice is truly for all. With these facts in mind I want those that support Hillary Clinton for President to review just these 2 facts (below) and decide whether there vote for her would be truly just.   There is more evidence but this is a good start in making sure your eyes are truly covered.

(1) DESTRUCTION OF EVIDENCE- If I  person was subpoenaed to turn over emails and they destroyed it instead. Would you consider that a crime?

(2) LYING UNDER OATH- If a person signed documents stating that they received briefings on classified Information but later told the FBI they don’t remember. Would you find that too absurd for reality  How about if they  claimed that after spending almost her whole life in government service that she didn’t understood a C stands for classified.

You are the judge and juror for our society but let us not forget if one is above the law then we are all below that law.

Paralympics 2016- Reality Check

Paralympics 2016 Paralympics 2016 2

Pound for Pound these are probably some of the greatest athletes on earth and the depth of their struggles to get where they are is something we all should emulate but that doesn’t mean it’s entertaining to watch. For those that knows these athletes and have similar struggles I can understand how important these games are but for those who have been blessed without these limitations it honestly can be a bit depressing to watch.  For it shows us how fragile our bodies are and how at any moment their limitations can become hours.  It is a reality check but sometimes we would rather check out and change the channel. The Paralympic Games show men and woman’s ability to conquer disabilities and their ability to watch a different channel.

When did I…

Old Man

When did I get old?  Not in actually age but in the age my children see me.  There was a time when my children would be excited to tell me the most mundane activities of their day now it’s as if they think I can’t hear or am so old I wouldn’t understand. It is if we come from a different planet although we have lived in the same house. I continue to feel, look  (just a few gray hairs) and act young (at least to my dogs) but in terms of my children I probably appear like the man in the picture above.  Oh well I guess there helping me plan to be his age.

Easy to hug!

No matter how tough and unaffectionate you might appear to be just the look of baby,dog or cat will change your ways as if you went under some holy water.  Even the look of such cuties can change one’s heart but why does this occur. I believe it is their innocence that takes us back to a better place where we felt uncontrollable warmth and affectionate for others without precondition. May their looks continue to shine through your heart and soul even if it’s  a tough day so those around you will feel your warmth as if they could bark, meow or just plain giggle.

Tuesday Terr-

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Tuesday 2

It’s the Tuesday after summer ends which means back to school and work.  Either way it will be a Terr Tuesday which could lead to Terrific or Terrible.  A Terrific Tuesday will occur even if the traffic is a bit heavier (a whole lot of bits) because it might mean more excitement and activity at your work location.  A Terrible Tuesday on the other hand could result from exhausting traffic and endless work that continues to pile up. I guess it depends on which Mea Monday you choosing. The Monday that adds value to your whole as it is is meaningful or the Mean Monday that is cruel to your relaxation you enjoyed over the weekend.  Which of course leads to a Wild Wednesday and as you know Wild can be crazy or just insane.  Ow what will this week bring?
