I usually try to wake up with a smile but today it turned to a cynical look. Maybe I was following too much of a pattern that had me caught in a maze or maybe I didn’t even look at the cup but the spill instead yet cynicism ran deep. It didn’t help by looking at the news stories from the various bent angles and seeing the same pattern. Cynicism can take the greatest stride and have it hit a wall head on with a full broken nose with blood spurting and.. (I think I painted the picture). So to turn that frown inside out and upside down I’m taking a bit of a brake from my standard day and playing a bit more by nose. I’m actually going to take the time and use my senses to absorb things I hadn’t before or look a bit more deeper into the beauty that even was in the spill. Cynicism may have had a start but optimism will have the finish…G-D willing.
House of Cards REAL….?
As I watched the latest installment of “House of Cards” I though how far it was going into the fiction category then I realized the main character was a Democrat and the truth came out. For the news has become openly a propaganda piece for the Democratic party where it will cover up stories that hurt their polls while putting the Republican’s under an Electron Microscope. Is it so far fetched with cover ups such as Benghazi, Clinton Foundation, Fast & Furious, IRS gate, etc that they wouldn’t cover up a stolen election if the Democrats won. There was a time when all the news that was fit to print was the truth or close to it now it filters through a Donkey’s A… Today the news lives by the motto “whatever means necessary” to tell the story they want you to hear and nothing more even if the truth is sacrificed at the altar.
Leftist Good Point… Ends
I was caught off guard as a person from the left came with a powerful argument that had me thinking what if? They were trying to raise monies for a “non-profit” publication because the rest of the media is controlled by the “media elite”. I found that argument compelling as a person who belief’s strongly in the more competition the better but then the reading of the publication began.
This publication supported a huge monopoly where no competition was even permitted to exist. For if a competitor tried to challenge their power this wouldn’t be fought in the marketplace but be dealt with by the firing squad. The greatest force of control doesn’t come from huge businesses that in many cases should be broken up but by dictatorial governments that continue to grab freedom and power. Therefore any publication that supports the Cuban government as this publication did and still say they support free competition is complete fake news. Nice try my leftist friends but I do read between the lines.
Life = Dealing with pain or PAIN
Life is how we deal with pain or “Pain”. The pain may not be as sharp as nails but emotionally it can take on you can hurt just as much. Financial pain can bring people to their knees as well as their world appears to collapse around them. Yet for those who learn to walk over those coals that stop others, they become the victor. They may never fully recover from the pain but have found a way to defeat it’s pull against them. Victory still can hurt but giving in hurts a whole lot more.
One Bird
One bird decided to hate my day. I don’t know who set his/her clock (sex wasn’t determined) but it needed a new location to play. This concert hall was closed yet it wanted a chance for America’s Got Annoyances. What was the racket about in the 1st place nobody was listening to you except me and your not my type (the feathers aren’t my thing). Bird’s may come and go but this one stayed in my ears all night long.
Johnny Depp – Sorry or just Acting?
Is Johnny Depp really sorry for saying “when was the last time an actor shot the President” or was he just acting for his next role? Based on his past words I think he might be playing for an Oscar nomination. Johnny Depp is a phenomenal actor so maybe he was acting for this audience when he made his despicable remark in front of an anti-Trump crowd in the first place. Maybe he deserves the benefit of the doubt but I’m not sure the President should see Johnny Depp in any live performances.
It’s YOUR fault….. Korah
According to psychological analysis and statistics as a whole this title will probably be my least popular blog piece but it must be said. For how many times do we blame those in “power” for our problems when it’s our own actions or reactions that have landed us in the spot we are in right now? This is best illustrated by the biblical story Korah where he challenged Moses for his “poor leadership” skills as he lead the Israelite on their difficult destiny. Instead of challenging himself and the people to work harder on their own spiritual path he tried to take the path from their true leader that G-D selected. Maybe Korah believed as other’s outside the power structure, that they could do things better but until he actually stepped in the arena in some powerful way and make such changes with himself as well as others how could he ask to wear the crown? Yes, the more you claim it’s your fault the better the chance you have to change your path and many might follow your lead.
Senate Repeal Obamacare Plan Bill-Had to be
For those viewers of “Hell’s Kitchen” the drama we are witnessing in the Senate, as it relates to replacing Obamacare, plays out till the final stew. Senate leader Mitch McConnell (not normally my favorite Senator) may have played this with all the ingredients up front. First he puts together a fairly strong outline in private so it could actually be completed without too many Senator’s stewing the pot. Then he waits for the opposition to boil up. Once he meets with the 4 vocal Senators opposed to the legislation he can decide which ingredients he must add to the mix or delete. Deleting to many might cause the whole stew to spoil so he probably would add more ingredients if possible. Once those ingredients are added he must make sure it’s not watered down so the other Senators can still vote on it without getting a heartburn. In the end let’s hope it’s a healthy bill/soup and maybe even one that’s a bit tasty.
You’re my ear and heart
If they add all more theories together they might be more brilliant then Albert Einstein and only you will be able to reveal this truth. For those closest to me sometimes have their ears furthest away while those in the cyber world are listening to every letter now, tomorrow or hundred years in the future (hopefully closer to the now). I can only imagine your reaction to all the different thoughts expressed on this blog and it’s a beautiful picture. You give my heart the strength to keep pumping along and allow this unique voice to be heard in a crowd of millions/billions. Someday my ideas, theories, philosophies might change the world for the better and I owe it all to you. Voices might come and go but your listening could last many a lifetime.
Phone Apathy
The cell phone has made me a bit more apathetic to my surroundings and I don’t believe I’m alone. Where in the past when I saw an accident or someone stuck on the road I would stop or at least call 911 now a days I assume they have a phone and things are being taken care of. Of course if an accident happens right in front of me I’ll stop and try to help but if it’s any distance I’ll use this rule. I wonder if I make this assumption when it comes to other situation where I assume a friend/family member has someone they could speak to so why bother making the call? Maybe I’m just bothering by calling anyway and I’ll just text later and later? Which begs the question has the cell phone made us closer or pulled us apart?
