Why Speak

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Why does a person speak to another?  I believe it’s for 2 reasons one to gain another’s perspective or to have another validate their thoughts in someway.  We don’t usually speak when we around company that we believe will  insult us for such words that come out of our lips. Which is another reason I miss my mom who actually listened to what I said before she made her conclusion as she saw them in a cup that at least had some water in it rather then one which was dry before I even opened my mouth.

Retro 80’s Weekend

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

I had 80’s retro weekend which brought back some awesome memories. From the discussion of the beginning’s of MTV with the original VJ’s to a visit down Rambo lane with a Pit Stop of  the latest installment in the theatre’s today. MTV changed the musical scene forever during this time period as artist were not just judged on the sound but the look and today has changed into something that is anything but music. MTV was the scene where every artists needed to be seen and today I’m afraid it’s a whole different picture.  Rambo was the anti-hero, hero who stood tough when everything around him was collapsing .The latest version (review coming out later) brought back some of those memories and added a few twists that kept the series alive for today’s market.  This was my time and looking back made it appear brighter then it did before.

100 For 1

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

 

I saw my first wild mink in my life and it had my thinking about the other 100 or so used in 1 fur coat.  I love animals but at the same time believe people should do what they want with their own hard earned monies $$$ so I’m not asking for any ban.   Yet for me 100 of these little creatures for just 1 coat appears to be way to excessive. Yes, this coat can be worn for many generations and it probably will keep you really warm but one leather coat and a few layers can do the same trick.   I’m only showing you 2 of these little creatures which you would have to multiply by 50 just for that 1 coat. I also don’t believe there is 1000’s of wild Munk’s that would starve to death if they weren’t hunted down and used  in coats.  It’s your choice but I choose life for minky friends instead.

Where’s The Phone

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Can someone tell me where the phone is.  I’m not actually talking about the device but the one I actually answer when I get something called a “call”.  With all these App’s around it I’m not sure where it went and I’m expecting an important call. Oh no it’s ringing now and I know it’s between my Facebook , Twitter and gDMSS Lite which I have no idea what the one is but I have it.   Oh here it is and I finally received the call for a new App I can put on my phone. Sounds interesting but where did the phone go now.

Rebel Thank You

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

It’s not the “traditional thing” to do when those come to pay respect for a loved one that dies but some of us must walk a different “thank you” path.  I understand people should go to see you during this difficult time because it’s “the right thing to do” and not expect anything in return for such an act.  It’s also difficult for a grieving party it might to thank anyone at such a point in their life. Yet I must walk on a different path. Maybe it’s the “Bud” part of me that wants to acknowledge all the kind words and gestures or maybe it’s just I feel this path is too rigid for me. So “Thank you for all your kind words, gestures and love for me as well as my family” during this difficult time we truly appreciate it even if I’m the only rebel to say so.

Non-Microphone Moments

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Some of the greatest moments are when our microphone’s are turned off.  When the remarks we might say are far from political correct as well as fail the sensitivity test. These are the moments when we are with our “real friends”and just blabber away as if we had not one too many but a bottle instead.  Non-Microphone moments are truly special because they are not made to make such a broad statement just one that comes out without really thinking.

Too Good

The Torah/Bible writes a great deal more about the tribulations which will occur if one “leaves the faith” then if one stays in the fold because let’s face it many who have it “too good” look to evil instead.  They get “bored” with what they have and desire some other “stimulation” which is down a path they know they shouldn’t travel.  G-D knows that when many have it “too good” that it can be a curse as history continues to prove  so G-D puts out the curses in bright red so everyone is truly warned.

Join A Community

You can start with faith but also join because it’s a true community.  Organized religion has gotten a bums wrap as the focus has been on the strict rules that are “observed” rather then the community it brings together in good as well as difficult times. This is a community that truly cares for each other not based on what one can get from another but by what they can give to each other instead.  As someone who experienced “this community” during the passing of my mother I fear that others will not have that warm helpful hand when they need it the most.  Organized religion may not appear to be “your thing” for now but trust me you’ll want and need their support someday so join this community for it’s hand’s need to be continued to be felt.

Elizabeth Warren Running Mate

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

So who will Elizabeth Warren pick as her running mate now that she has the Democratic nomination for President in 2020? What she hasn’t achieved that title yet well with the media in her tank it will tank a whole lot of Pocahontas arrows to take her down.  Whether they show such arrows is another story as well so let’s assume she makes it to the media coronation here’s who I believe are on the top of her list (below) and why.

(1) Cory Booker- Simple she wants to get the African American vote out for her and with Cory on the ticket then that will give her this edge.

(2)  Julian Castro- On the other hand she might assume that “African Americans” will come back to their party and try to bring out the Hispanic vote with this choice.

(3)  Andrew Yang- Finally she might assume that Mr. Yang’s youth and inexperience might be the “thing” that brings out the millennial in droves to her ticket.

FOOTNOTE–  Elizabeth Warren does have the “emotional appeal” that liberals are calling for as well as a populist message that they believe will hit the President the hardest so this could be their most logical choice as well.

 

Not Death

Posted by Bruce - in Blog, Uncategorized - No Comments

So if I’m hearing you correctly this murderer doesn’t want to kill individuals just put them to the point of where they actually want to die. For those that are near death can never speak isn’t that true? It appears that our Killer..well almost works in the hospital and makes sure his/her victims are kept quiet whether it be through a ventilator that isn’t needed, drugs that induce coma or worse yet a constant unyielding fear that they will strike again. Fear of not dying might just be scarier then actually RIP.
