The “GREATEST” or great in many areas?  Are you known as an expert in one field that only grows over time or have you spread those pieces of yourself in many different realms?  Those that are the greatest in one field are known by those who follow such a field and sometimes even those who look in that area but over time others might step over that expertise. Yet those who are great in many fields touch many life’s in all different ways. These individuals become smaller puzzle pieces that when linked together might just become a bigger picture then the GREATEST at a later time period.   Maybe it’s my lack of greater focus or just interest in so many aspects that have lead me to the path of the later.  G-D willing my pieces won’t be so scattered that the image of Bud Rebel fades faster then those of GREATEST but if it does well at least I was there in many worlds for the moment(s).

Is this the latest trailer (below) that will trap you into a movie theater. Only showing you scenes that glue your eye’s and ears to the screen enough to purchase the tickets. Never revealing the scences that might just pull you away enough to wait till it gets on Redbox or dare I say Netflix? Only your viewing will know but for now you are totally sucked in with the best cheese in years.

Take me to a place I never saw coming and keep me there with characters that entice me as they portray a different if not darker side of me.  Movies such as the Fight Club,  12 Monkeys and Six Sense are just a few that have been added to my collective soul as well as a whole collection I have found on NetFlix. The latest if not greatest (for now) is 3 % which takes me to THERE !? so many times that I feel I can’t afford to stop watching.  Yes, I have written a piece on this show in a previous blog but it’s worth mentioning again and again because it stops being that show which is again and again.  You never see “IT” coming and when it does with such complex characters throughout you truly care why as well as what is next. Netflix continues to have shows that have done this too me including Stranger Things, The Dark, House of Cards or Fauda and now 3 % added to my addiction.  Take me to the place and life will never be the same at least until a new show/movie arrives.

This is not how I actually look but this is how I often feel like an alien in a person’s body. For while others are expressing their emotions immediately I hold back as if I’m waiting for the invasion to occur. Day after day I keep working as if my life depended on it by them discovering what my true identity is. My mind keeps thinking as if I had an alternate brain on a different planet.  Come to think of it maybe I am an alien in a human body.

FOOTNOTE- When I was a child I often pretended this was true because I had a special bump in the back of the ear that I felt other life could communicate me if they wanted. What if it was really true?

If you never saw lightning and it was put in a film you would say that it was the worst CGI effect you’ve ever seen.  I’m sure the director would shout “Cut!  What the hell is that supposed to be the audience isn’t going to believe it. Give me a break that is so fake!”  Yet when one is struck by this fake effect it feels awfully real and the sound effects afterwards make a believer out of anyone.  So the next time you see a movie with poor CGI think of the night sky and maybe you will believe again.

There is something about a still picture that a whole movie can’t tell.  It’s that one image which stays with you way after any credits have been read.  Even as technology moves us further into video formats the photograph holds us together longer.  Just as one reads a book and makes an image in their head a picture tells a story only we can unravel.  It captures a moment in time that allows the viewer to make their own history instead of having it being told to them.  Pictures continue to shine years after they have been taken because our minds allow them to be bent in any direction we want.  We can be told or we can tell by the pictures that remain.

The United States will never regain control in Vietnam, Native American’s have lost their lands around the world, Mexico is not regaining control of the Alamo, England has lost colonies around the world and you have lost with Israel isn’t it time to WIN. Regain a future of peace and prosperity for your next generation based on using the monies and talent given to you by the world to develop businesses and world class schools so you can take a stab into success instead of death. Battle Israel and the world in the economic sphere.  Let the free markets determine who is to win as you give your people a real chance for success and growth based on work not violence.  Just as it appears North Korea is giving up on conquering the South for a better economic future shouldn’t your future be brighter as well?  Palestanians you’ve lost the war now it’s time to win the peace and prosperity for your people.

You may be right in the initial moves of a political chess game and we all know that the fake news we’ll hilight the words over and over again but “I’m sorry” is better for you then you think.  For example the remarks from “Kelly Sandler” about John McCain being dead even if they were private and said in just should be something that is regretful.  I respect that you stand by your staff and Kelly shouldn’t be fired or even demoted for an off color remark but an apology could help.  For when someone says they are sorry not only to do they help the person who feels wrong but cleanse themselves as well.  I’m sure the press won’t let those 2 words go but the public will and Kelly Sandler’s won’t be distracted in her work to make America Great Again two words at a time.

Trust me I’m not suicidal and don’t wish anyone’s death…well except for some murders, rapist, drug dealers and that guy who gave me my last haircut but sometimes a shot goes just the right way.  Especially the one you drink and the one you sing (see below). Here’s a shot the goes straight to heart … that is your rhythm heart.

Everyone is accepted today except for me! They say that we should be free to be whoever we want to be and I just want to who G-D made me?

See I’m happy just being me without any additions or deletions and that makes me a freak today.  My history books are filled of stories about how in the past people used to judge others by the way they made themselves look and how awful that time period was and maybe it was to some degree but it appears we’re going off a different cliff today.  Individuals who want to stand out and get attention are pushing us to the edge of violence a line that appears to be closer to reality everyday.  I know this is the real reason why I’m a freak today but maybe the idea of changing one’s looks and getting attention should return because now a days those that seek attention will stop at nothing to get it.
