What possessed the 16 year old  Long Island boy on the right to kill his entire family is something we may never fully know but there are some facts we must look into to try and avoid such tragedies in the future.

(1) Should the local community into individuals who are “home schooled” with a bit more intensity?

(2) Would we consider legislation that would require a short video on gun safety be watched before purchasing a firearm and make sure such equipment is available at stores?

(3) Is mental health still to difficult for those who are most need of these services?

New Years Eve is not the same without Dick Clarke’s production of the event.  You can enjoy your own private party but if the countdown isn’t coming from Times Square it just doesn’t feel the same.  Yes, it’s true the party has some repeat performances from Mr. Ball to Mariah Carey but that’s what makes this tradition special you know precisely when you should pop the cork.  Even though Dick Clarke is not with us anymore somehow I feel he’s counting down with us and is proud that his name is still connected with the truly fun event that is still rock in.

My cell phone was expected to die but it’s alive! Alive I tell you! Yes I know I’m being a bit dramatic but it’s my cell phone and it’s breathing on it’s own.  Yet who knows what will happen because coming back from the dead can have consequences. Maybe Frankenstein is real after all.

You are ready to bury your cell phone but with PHONE CPR there is still is one chance left for survival. This device will drain your cell phone of all malware, clean it’s hardware and restore enough power for you and your cell phone to be together again. PHONE CPR will not just be a charging station but a way for your cell phone to extend it’s life and give it the additional boost that it needs. PHONE CPR for your phone deserves to live another year or at least a few months.

I couldn’t think of spending another year with you and with 24 hours to kill now was my last chance.  You had drained me of all the excitement to live another year it was time that I had a reason to live again … killing you. Yes I guess I’ll have a lot to make up in the upcoming year but at least I’m starting fresh with 365 days to go.   For now I am free to start the New Year with true freedom until the steel door slams on me.

FOOTNOTE- Trust me this isn’t in my plans but I wonder how many are thinking about adding this to their New Years Resolutions.

There were no real signs that my cell phone was going back to it’s maker before it passed on. I remember just before Star Wars The Last Jedi was to begin that we were looking at old emails and going shopping and then it died as the credits started to roll.  Was it just too cold for it to go outside, was the force against it,  or did I go to far with the Apps? I may never know all I know is I lost my life partner well at least for the last two years or was it 3. Life went so fast with this cell phone as my friend and now it’s gone in an instant. Where will I go what will I do… for I believe Verizon is closed for the holiday. Yet I’ll always have the good times to remember.

(1) TIME- You were always their to make sure I knew what time it is and now I don’t know when to begin or end. How will I spend my time without the many books and information you have provided me with a key stroke?

(2) FRIENDSHIP- We shared many friends together but now they are hidden in your memory banks. I hope Verizon can restore them.

(3) LOST- I will not be able to count on you to help me get around but have to actually use my own mind.

(4) HIP- Your searches helped make sure that I was always in the know.

(5) WEATHER- What will I do to find out about the weather without you step outside?!

(6) CONTACT- I have no contact with the outside world when I leave these premises.

(7) REALITY- My escape will not be the same without you. I will actually have to imagine a whole different world

FOOTNOTE- With your passing I know you will understand if I have to move on before the burial (in a Verizon bag), maybe from the deep fields of your circuits you can give me one last recommendation …on which model? Maybe?

Let the world not squander the resurrection of the Green Revolution in Iran as we should stand fully in the corner of these brave citizens battling for basic respect, freedom and dignity against a Tyrannical Theocracy.  We can not let their revolutionary cries be unheard as we should support them by all means necessary to overthrow these dictators that hold them captive.  For the good of the people of Iran and world peace let us wear green in solidarity with them if not on our body then in our prayers that G-D will answer their cries and justice will be served.

I bet few clergy believed I could come up with a spiritual side to playing craps but let me roll the dice.  For unlike other gambling games your success spells success for others and every roll brings hope and even faith to those that don’t have it, even if it’s just for  a moment.  There might even be a pray to G-D before and an amen after the roll depending on when a 7 comes up.  Just when your rolling well and start to believe you can control this game you realize there is a higher authority that truly is in charge.  In Craps as in life you have to know when to roll and when to enjoy the fruits that have been given your way and have the faith to understand it’s just a game for another day …. probably month.

There still is a desire for me to gain additional wealth but after seeing and now reading the book “All The Money In The World” I understand that greed can be as destructive as poverty. Jean Paul Getty never appeared to enjoy the wealth he acquired as it was only used as vehicles to gain additional wealth instead of ways to “truly make a difference”. While the “Average Joe” might struggle to make ends meat they usually enjoy it to the bone and if there is even a smidgen left Joe will donate it to the less fortunate. “Jean Paul Getty” might have acquired the means but the Average Joe was able to somehow laugh and smile a whole lot brighter. For wealth can help create some happy moments but only when used to make others as well as yourself happier along the way.
