Absurdly… Offensive?

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Black Humor Black Humor 4

These jokes are patently offensive (above & below) but will they become the next victim of the P.C police? I offended myself by putting them up because they can “hurt” unless you understand that they are meant not to but reach for a funny bone where it couldn’t easily be found. Yes, those around us who are hateful might use them in their vile rhetoric but could others full of love make such jokes as well without being added to their list?  Should “jokes” be banned because they’re over the top or because they’re truly not funny? I guess in the end it depends who is telling them, where they are told, and what is the true intention? For that reason maybe let our funny bone be free to laugh at what it wants and let our legs walk out when it’s not moving.

FOOTNOTE–   I apologize in advance if anyone is hurt by this humor or if anyone laughed and felt they shouldn’t.  You can laugh though because I’m the one telling the jokes and my heart is truly full of love even if these “jokes” are full of laughs.

Rebellion Began

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Rebellious 2

I never really fit in with any one group growing up as I was far from jock, fashion king and wasn’t even nerdy enough to fit in the category, yet that was just the start of the walk toward rebellion.  For when everyone in “my group” thought one way I decided to try and think a totally different way just to see where the grass was really blue.  Yet the show “Jewtopia” took me over the edge as every stereotype expected of those within “the tribe” had me open my closet to reveal I was truly a rebel.  I might except most of the faith observation but trust me I don’t fit any of their categories or for that matter any other category one might try to pigeon hole me in. For  I am Bud Rebel a  rebel with many a cause!

Jessica Jones

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

Jessica Jones

Jessica Jones might be one of the greatest cinematographic achievements on Net Flix  today with the camera actually becoming a part of the action.  You can also add a whole bunch of stars to the performance of Krysten Ritter who is one of the most fascinating characters on any screen.  Even if sometimes you wonder if a scene is necessary or a bit too much you can’t stop watching for what will occur next.  Warning once you start watching it might be difficult to make any other plans.

**** Jessica Jones

FOOTNOTE-  Warning– Although I feel this show is great piece of art it definitely swings against many of my moral and political views and for those with similar views. It’s worth skipping these scenes trust me.

FOOTNOTE of FOOTNOTE – I will only add to my notes not delete them but after episode 6 and 7 I think this show has jumped the Shark and maybe my T.V habits. It’s falling fast from it’s original premise.

CORRECTION–    Episode 8 has made me feel bi-polar as I jumped with the Shark back into the series. It made up for many of the misses in the previous episode. I guess I’ll stay tuned.

CONCLUSION-  Season one well worth your time  even if you can’t fast forward some of the over the top, politically correct and boring scenes.  For the artist achievement is brilliant!!

Imagine – PLEASE SHARE- Save the World

Posted by Bruce - in basic judaism, Blog, Faith - No Comments

Imagine 2 Imagine 3

PLEASE SHARE IF NOT THE POST THEN THE THOUGHTS

I’ve written probably thousands of posts over 5 years (or so) but this is probably the most important because if it was read and observed it would literally save the world!  The strange thing is I try to be original with my ideas but this is one thread that is written about in all different faiths and even those of little faith yet never fully weaved because many including myself forget the stitch.  “Love others as thy love thyself”.  Imagine if these 6 words were strictly observed we would see just a few of the following (below) and the world would truly be saved.  We should follow all the rules that get us closer to this ideal and I believe we will truly be worthy of the welcoming of the Messiah and G-D’s true message to us all.

1. NO MASS SHOOTINGS-  No one could kill another if they truly loved them as thyself.

2. TRUE LOVE FOR THYSELF-  If we love another then we must truly love our self

3. LOVE ALL LIFE-  From the day of conception of to the day of passing we would cherish all human life and would not allow means to take one away before their time.

4. NO RAPE/SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND IF…  How could we put someone we love through an experience that we wouldn’t want to go through ourselves?

5. END OF BULLYING/RACISM/POLITICISM/PREJUDICE AS A WHOLE- There is no way to hate and to love at the same time.

6. NO SOCIALISM AND NO POVERTY-  People wouldn’t be jealous of another’s success and those with success would truly try to spread the wealth.

7. TRUE FORGIVENESS-  Grudges and vindictiveness would end and we would forgive as we would want to be forgiven.

8. GREATER WEALTH-  For some it would be in their pocketbook but in others it would be in their heart and soul.

ETC, ETC, ….ETC

FOOTNOTE–   I know for now it is just a dream but if in our own way we all (including myself) did a bit more then this one path would be brighter every day for all those that walked.

Would You Stay

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Money falling from sky

If money was basically falling from the sky would you take the time to stay? Even if you know the resources you bring to the table can’t easily be replaced would you look for a lounge chair instead? Some still stay in their positions not for what it gives to them for they have enough but what they can give as an individual. These might be called workaholics but maybe they just want to stay so they can still be here. For even if you have all the money in the world it still takes effort to be deserving to stay in this place or get a key to the gate. Work might be just the key they need to keep going even if  others decided they’d rather leave.

California Curse

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

California Earthquake California Mudslide

I usually try to have pictures that are related to the blog post I’m writing but as it relates to California Disasters I’m afraid I would need several pages of just pictures.  For California has the disasters  that others have had to endure man made and born of a higher authority just not in one area.  The list includes earthquakes, mudslides, wildfires, terrorist attacks, mass shootings, riots and I’m afraid I’ve just got started. It appears to be a beacon of what can go wrong in one state and how one might try to recover.  California makes the headlines but all for the wrong reason(s). May G-D help the people of California find a different path with less to write about and live with.

No Argument ALLOWED

Posted by Bruce - in Uncategorized - No Comments

 

 

 

TOLIET SEAT DOWN

I consider myself to be an open minded person but there is some places where no arguments are allowed.  Toilet Seats need to be down when not in use!  Trust me the water is not so pretty to look at even when flushed and who knows what germs and smells might leak further in the atmosphere.  There is no room for compromise keep it down until it needs to go up!

socks folded

Yes, I know the dictator is speaking but socks needed to be folded. This is a poor example of what should be done (above) but at least it’s a start to decency

Toilet Paper Under

I don’t have a clue why this is my rule except that it is toilet paper under! It’s a tradition brought back to my family as long as their was paper in the house.

FOOTNOTE-  Although there is no room for compromise it appears that I’m only the only one listening to my decree’s.

Kathy Griffin more despicable then ever….

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Kathy Griffin 2

I saw an even more despicable side of Kathy Griffin then I expected as I tried to listen to her being interviewed by Howard Stern.  If I believe after listening to this interview that she shouldn’t be blacklisted then I think I passed all tests of the 1st amendment. Here are just a few (below) of the comments that turned my dial.

(1) Kathy Griffin was paid by Donald  Trump when he was being roasted.  I heard of biting the mouth that feeds but how about cutting the….

(2) She had absolutely no remorse for her actions not even to Baron Trump who was eleven years old when he saw this grotesque picture of his father.

(3) Mrs Griffin tried to portray herself as a victim instead of someone who is either completely out of touch with reality or someone who jumped over the line.

(4) Her vile portray of being a person who was victimized because she was a woman was the last straw with channel changer.

Kathy Griffin- Let her work and ….

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

Howard Stern Kathy Griffin Michael Richards

I still find Kathy Griffin’s “joke” concerning the President despicable enough not to repeat but that doesn’t mean I don’t believe she should be “blacklisted”.  I’m not going out to buy a ticket for any of her performances but I believe other adults can make there own decision on who they find entertaining and that mean’s people such as Michael Richards should be able to make a come back as well.  Talent does and says some completely stupid and reprehensible things but that’s what we can expect in a free society.  There should be some consequences for people that jump over the line such as Kathy Griffin and Michael Richards but blacklisting must not be one.  We have room in society to let everyone speak even those that we have to change the channel for.

FOOTNOTE-  After the interview on the Howard Stern I saw that Mrs. Griffin has no real remorse for her actions and claims that she is the victim another reason if I was given a $1000.oo to see her I’d lose the monies and I like profits.

Loyalty to the EXTREME

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Dog loyality Dog Loyality 2

It is loyalty to the extreme where it appears your 4 legged friend wants to be by your side ever waking and sleeping hour.  Although you may believe it’s for the snacks and fun times they actually stay with you through the rain as well as a storms of your life. Maybe there so loyal because they don’t really understand us as a whole and only see our cup as 1/2 full all the time.  As extreme as it is it’s good to know someone is always there for you even if she/he has a tail between their legs.
