Stop the wall or we’ll never get in your country to be stars.  Carlos has it all planned out for me and my new friends from Villa Nueva, Guatemala all we have to do is pretend and then our name will be in lights. That’s what initially happened when at night we were taken from our home because we had the “look”.  There are times when we feel uncomfortable when Carlos and his gang touch us in spots that don’t feel right but then they give us some “acting snow” and we feel a whole lot better.  All we have to do is pretend that there our parents when we get near the border and will see our own names in bright lights. So please stop building the wall so they can build a star in my name instead. I have to admit though sometimes I get confused with the way the older woman stars are treated for they don’t appear to be happy but maybe their better actresses then I can believe.  Or maybe you should build the wall so I can just go home because I’m not sure I want to be this special anymore.

Throughout his musical career R. Kelly has been accused of vile sexual acts with minors which included a trial which he was found not guilty. Yet today a special on Lifetime has put more pressure then ever to have his “art” banned from the airwaves which raises the question “who can we really listen to and how is that decision to be made”?  Nobody can deny if R Kelly is guilty of said crimes that listening to his music sounds a bit off key but how about the background of other musicians who have sold death through drugs, been in gangs that killed, lied, cheated and stole where does one draw the line and who is the arbitrator?  How about those artist who support causes that you find offensive should they not be listened to as well? I guess in the end we all have to possess our own morale compass otherwise we might just be stuck only listening to…

FOOTNOTE- Do we really know who is behind that Pink Dinosaur?

WARNING- THIS COULD OFFEND THE YOUNG OR OLD

I decided to go old this time and it wasn’t just for the money. Let’s just say older people are a bit less active and I need my space. As gray hairs appear so does settlement and I’m sick of running from one apartment to the next. It’s the stability and wisdom that age brings which I can’t get from someone of my generation that has me looking for the wrinkles. Yes, life might move a bit slower but maybe it’s time I started to sit back and smell the Bengay.  For life can be minty fresh when it’s aged a bit more.

FOOTNOTE- My wife is 10 months older then me.

TODAY is the day…. well maybe it’s tomorrow did I say well it’s…?  In my life today’s have passed in to many tomorrow’s as I deal with other’s deadlines.  They seem to have forgotten what they said the previous day or have an incredible excuse why it’s not done even if the dog isn’t involved.  Yet for me if I’m a minute late then it’s good as flushed down the toilet.  My deadlines to the business world appear to be fixed like glue while others are let’s say a bit more like a rubber band until I’m finally all twisted up.  Today is tomorrow and yesterday should be forgotten in their books while I keep writing even if it’s with a different pad.

I might just be President Trump’s secret adviser. For I have written extensively about how he should deal with the wall funding/shutdown debate on this site and through White House Channels (their email address) and it appears that the President is listening. Let me just say that this is so secret that I didn’t even know it was occurring. Yet it was my idea weeks ago that the President address the nation on this issue, visit the border and consider other funding mechanism and just like A,B,C they are being followed.  I’m going to test my secret role with this test “tell the President to blink his eye’s twice if he is following my advise”.  Wow, I’m a bigger player then I thought.

Can you believe it the Golden Globes gave best picture award to a movie that starred a gay rock star. That is as shocking as knowing that I’ll find traffic over the G.W Bridge this morning or that Starbucks coffee is more then a $1.00.   Another shocking event is that a celebrity made derogatory remarks about a leader in the Republican party during his acceptance speech. Absolutely incredible right?  What will happen next will Republican  be called racist, hicks and wanting to push grandma over the cliff?  It was so shocking that I decided to go to sleep early and have these news stories put me to sleep the next day.  Spell it with me P-R-E-D-I-C-T-A-B-L-E or just plain boring.

One of the toughest aspects of a strong leader is breaking the will of those that try to assert control.  You need to calmly stay in control as they do everything in their power to try and make you lose it.  Drawing that line in the sand even as you are pushed, pulled and badgered just to give in.  Yet when your decision is final and they accept it there is a satisfaction that makes it all worth it even if you’re exhausted at the end.

I have written a great deal about the various forms of health one should take care which include mental, physical and spiritual health but I neglected one which can cause more sickness then I first assumed.  Having friends/family in one’s life in a healthy relationship can help add balance when the others might not be as strong as they should be. For social relationships give one’s the impetus to move farther then their body or mind may not feel they are capable of.  Social relationships that are full of too much pain and angst can be more harmful then good and should be replaced or at least co-exist with more positive human influences. We also can subtract from painful relationship with the help of our 4 legged friends.    Of course a relationship with your creator is the top one individuals should worry about yet without a human touch one can feel empty and melancholy.  For G-D didn’t create us to live alone but with others who can make us think, feel and love.
