This “simple” word can make all the difference and if you don’t hear it from your two sides maybe it’s time you become the catalyst.  Yes, everyone should warmly greet Y-O-U but why wait when you have your own mouth and tongue? This is especially true for those who have a tendency to feel secluded from the room.  If you start you also can finish so think of the power you set before you worry about what others should do. It’s a simple word but it can make all the difference in the world especially for one who has not heard it enough.

FOOTNOTE– When leaving you might want to make sure everyone knows as well.

It is not always the fight but the time and the place it occurs.  A fight during bedtime can make those sleep hours tossing and turning at a Cheetah rate while ones in the morning can drag on so your pace feels more like a tortoise. Therefore if you have to chose a time leave it in the afternoon when their is time for healing if not a Band-Aid. In terms of location the best place to argue is one that is not costly to attend. Do your best to avoid weddings, vacations and star location above 2 1/2 if at all possible. Fights suck but the time and location can add an extra painful bite into any memories or peace you’d want to keep.

One of these took my breathe away while the other had me looking at my watch. One story dwelled deep into character development while the other confused me on what was the essence of the characters.

“Wicked For Good” was more in the w category then the g as music, songs and characters fell short of what I expected. I must though give it credit for tying everything together in the end. While “The Beast In Me” took me on a rollercoaster of a ride exploring the mind of a psychopath and all those that enter his world (sorry for the spoiler alert).  The acting was compelling and the action kept me glued to the screen.

The Beast In Me -****

Wicked For Good ** 1/2 – The ending added my extra star.

There is no black and white when it comes to homo sapiens point blank!! How we got to this point must have occurred with someone who was truly black or white for the skin color of humans is far from one level to the other extreme. Yes, there are those that have albinism and others whose skin is color is darker then most but even those individuals are not black or white. We need to move past this point to a reality where not only are not people judged by the color of their skin but we actually have names that are real.

I’m laugh out loud funny even if it’s your subconscious that sometimes only understands the jokes. For, sometimes their so deep that ones own mind can only understand it at a deeper level. Sometimes my own conscious doesn’t realize how funny I am especially when the tomatoes are coming my way. It’s not fair that all jokes are aimed at the conscious so someone has to help the other side and that burden falls on M-E.  In other words I might not make it in standup but if your sitting down it’s funny.

FOOTNOTE-  Oh, that one hurt can’t you at least wait till their ripe.

Does one utilize the “medical resources” of today to solve an issue or allow the natural process to occur? In most cases most of us would utilize the medical resources to help heal a problem especially if it’s serious while supplementing it with some more “natural works” as well.  Yet when it comes to matters such a light cold, toe nail be crushed etc the natural process might just work out better. For, your body has it’s own defense and offense and by interfering with it you might lesson that impact with more serious matters. The body also has it’s own clock and by moving to fast that clock might not respond accordingly. Therefore on small matters (not of the heart) one should allow the body to work it’s helping hand and have your cell phone out if it doesn’t.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!! While we all have our personal struggles let’s take an extra moment to thank G-D for the bounty & freedom we enjoy in this land for coming up to 250 years.  We should also be grateful to celebrate this holiday with loved ones whether it be a large family/friend gathering or one with a special best 4 legged friend. Here are a few other things we should celebrate in this holiday season.

(1) Thanksgiving Cost– The cost for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner is less then it was a year ago.

(2) Thanksgiving Travel– It is less expensive to travel by our personal vehicles as gas prices are way down. To be fair I’m not sure though if this performance is as good with EV’s.

(3) Thanksgiving Peace-  We enter this Thanksgiving season with the end of many wars around the world

(4) Thanksgiving Health-  We can be grateful that “artificial flavors/Colors” are less likely to be  added to our standard dishes such as Red Die 3.

So please have the most wonderful Thanksgiving holiday no matter what your feast looks or taste like.

Revelation comes in sparks and spurts as last night was such a spurt. Here (below) are some components that have made me who I was and who I’m trying to be less of.

(1) PEOPLE PLEASER-  Many times I’ve put the interest of others above my mind even to my own mental and physical well being.  People pleasing was a 10 now it’s probably closer to a 7 with 6 being a realistic goal on my mirror.

(2) CONFLICT AVERSION-  I would avoid a conflict like the plaque now I’m starting to tip a toe in them and realizing I’m not getting burnt although I always made exceptions for politics and religion in this category.

(3)BULLIED- Even as I’ve aged the bullies have found their resting place with M-E even in subtle ways because words aren’t supposed to hurt M-E.  Yet my zingers have started to put them in their place.

(4) ENTERTAINER-  I do like to be the center of attention but now I can watch from the audience without dreaming about being on that stage.

It was supposed to relax M-E but instead opened up a pathway that should have been left closed. The massage pushed further into parts of my skull and released horror from within that I never knew I possessed and soon possessed M-E. First, a simple headache that lasted way too long and a solution that became demonic in nature. It only got worse as I somehow became addicted to this same masseuse and even the pain.  This worse then any drug I had known for M-E and those who unfortunately strayed in my path.  For massages can be deadly in ways the hands never told M-E.

The words were actually spoken that I wanted to hear for many a year. These were the words that literally put tears to my eyes and if truly believed would change the entire picture.  Yet I mustn’t forget this day no matter what for what was set might just change everything!!
