I understand but everyone’s got one and mine’s probably bigger then yours, yes I’m talking about A**hole.  Not literally although that is a different adult subject these are people we probably shouldn’t hang with but are such characters that we keep them in our life as if they are part of our body. In other words these people may not have the best character but are characters in their own light.  So I want to thank my A**hole for although it’s not always been fun you have been funny … in a sick kind of way.

When life has got you swimming in the same bowl and you need an escape but don’t have the $, time or energy for the big leap then become the song instead.  Allow the music to take you to an entirely different place whether it be the great outdoors of a country song or the revolt of a rock song it’s time for your 2 minute escape.  Yet to fully encompass this route you must not only listen but actively sing and/or dance to the beat for when it is right you feel it throughout your bones as the music takes you to an entirely new place. It’s the 2 minute escape that allows that same bowl to feel entirely new and as if you have flown above the rest. So give yourself the escape you need and life will have you flying higher then you can imagine.

FOOTNOTE– There are many other escape routes including prayers, humor and even breathing before worry sets in.

Purim is a special time of the year for Jewish people to be a bit more silly then normal. Yes it is the celebration of Queen Ester helping us to defeat Haman and his ilk that wanted to wipe out the Jewish people because they refused to kneel to him but today we celebrate through being a bit more silly then normal. We might have an extra drink or two and wear clothes usually reserved for Halloween because it’s time to be silly or just have a bit more fun as evil is defeated and fun wins out.

As Xi Jinping becomes the latest leader to claim dictatorial powers you might wonder aren’t the people of up and arms or are they instead secretly clapping. For as we in the west appear to crave democracies many deep down still desire dictatorships. Here are just a few reasons why a strong man/woman seems to be what the people really want.

(1) ONE TO BLAME- Life is easier when you only have one individual to blame for your problems and a dictatorship provides their picture.

(2) IMMEDIATE DECISIONS- Dictators make decisions quickly and with a determination not found in Democracies.

(3) RESULTS-  When a dictator demands action it will get done and even if you don’t actually like the result at least you can plan for it to occur.

(4) PREDICTABILITY – After a while  your dictator has a flow that pretty much stays on their course and therefore life’s major decisions don’t change too much overnight.

FOOTNOTE- I’m a strong believer in Democracy unless I was appointed the Dictator. Yes you can laugh out loud not to the Democracy but me as a dictator but what if….? 

Why should our 4 legged friends be the only ones who really smell the Daffodils with the SMELLER that advantage will be smelled away.  The SMELLER  will enhance the aroma of life as Binoculars enhance our visual conquest.  They might not be the most beautiful item to look but you will definitely smell the difference.  Let’s create the SMELLER and give our nose the advantage it’s longed to smell.

Lockers were closed in  the Poughkeepsie School District after threats were assessed on social media which sends the message the wrong message.  Instead of putting on an offensive show to prove that law enforcement is ready and able to protect our most vulnerable they co warded to an unknown threat that probably was formulated as a sick joke.  If this continues more threats will occur and our students will continue to live in a world of fear instead of education. Let our communities learn that the best defense is a good offense with hardened school perimeters and no more gun free zones for those geared to protect us.

When life appears to get me on the same path it’s time to create a new LIFE?  This might not be the breathing type that walks down the street but one that adds new breath to my existence.  Maybe it will be a unique thought on this blog page, a new product that enhances others life’s or a creative project that takes one away from the ordinary for wherever the bulb goes it will be lit.   I do not claim to be a Messiah but only a man that is bent on making sure their existence leaves a bit more life in the moments I’m given to live.

Realistic is dead literally and in my mind.  I’m sick of thinking in the practical ways are and instead dream of ways that could be. For in my life “realistic” has been conquered by many dreamers and those who decided that fate should be decided by another opening that others didn’t see coming.   I will believe against all odds for what have I got to lose to believe that G-D might change the board game just when everyone else was ready to leave the table.  No matter what occurs at least I’ll take my dreams with me where-ever home might eventually be.

WARNING- These donuts are bad for the brain.

Warning “Superior Donuts” will fill your brain  with just a bunch of hot air.  For those who don’t want to think at all this might be the show for you with the taped laughs and cheesy old jokes that are filled with mold.  “Superior Donuts” might be a safe show for those that don’t want to be offended by anything with actual talent involved in it.   It’s amazing how concepts that are so predictable can be produced on major channels but then again that is why Netflix lives and grows stronger everyday. I think I need a salad.

* – “Superior Donuts” – Receives one star only because I long for the Judd Hirsh of Taxi days.

“Living Bibilically” is a show that is good for your soul all the way to your funny bone.  This show tells the story of one person’s goal to follow the bible literally in a way that is creative and actually funny.  It probably would have been funnier if they throughout the laugh track for I believe that the audience has the faith to know when it’s best to laugh. Living Bibilically finally a show you can have faith in to deliver the laughs with a higher authority that won’t having you walking on the hot side.
