Who cares?

Alone 10 alone 1 alone 5

How many times do we feel we walk our path with nobody even looking our way? It can be a sinking feeling as we let our troubles and glories go unnoticed by those around us. Many might say they have a life partner but for most that partner has turned a different corner. When one walks in such a path it’s good to know one just isn’t enough. We need to have different friends, family and even close strangers that have walked through one of our paths.  Maybe one friend shares your political philosophy and is up and down with your political swings while another is more into the arts or faith. Just remember life can have many links. Further note that there is one who truly cares about you when all else feels broken and will never leave your side if you’re willing to open your heart and soul to the one. There are times most will have this feeling but knowing someone watches our steps continues to allow us to move forward.

The Zookeeper’s Wife-small

Posted by Bruce - in arts and entertainment, Blog - No Comments

The Zookeepers Wife 1

As I left viewing “The Zookeeper’s Wife” I felt it was fine but didn’t have the impact other Holocaust movies had on me after such a viewing.  The movie covered all the bases but something kept it small in my mind. For I wanted to believe it was going to be a great movie that I wouldn’t allow my mind to think what is was missing. The truth is a Holocaust movie should not worry about ratings but instead be concerned with the impact the film has on it’s audience and if that means showing more raw footage or brutal actions then that must be done. Characters must be well drawn out if we are to find the tears coming out of our hearts. This is what “The Zookeepers Wife” was missing which left it with a small impact rather then the large impact that it should have had as one family risked everything to  save hundreds from slaughter.

Taste & 5 Senses?

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

tasting 5 senses

To truly taste something in the right way should consist of utilizing all 6 senses.  The food should look delectable and served in a way that appeals to your eyes. It should feel comforting to your touch even it’s just the utensil you use. Even the crunch or sound with which your mouth makes may help to determine if the food is to your liking. Today the scent of Nutmeg led me to this discovery as it took me away from the taste I was supposed to enjoy.  Our imagination can also play a large role as we might be told we are drinking a very expensive wine, or eating at a “fine restaurant” and try to make our other senses agree.  Of course the finally key ingredient is taste which can over-rule the other senses but only with the trained tongue.

Closer due to good times or bad?

Good Friends 4 empathy 101

Are you closer to an individual who you share good times with or is their for you during the bad times? It’s great to have the friend that has both these characteristics but when you have to choose what do you do?  We can say that loyalty comes from those who have been there when times are a bit rough but great memories come from those who share those fun moments with you.  Maybe you’re more likely to help those who have helped you out of jamb in the past but actively seek those that have shared a laugh with you.   In the end it might not be as fun but seeking those with loyalty must be your final decision with a good book or movie on the side.

What is this called? Has this happened to YOU?

I’m no Genius although I’m watching the show  and am a bit lost but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy witnessing science right in front of me and today such an event came within my eyes. For I walked down a dark path that had only one light bulb shining and preceded to turn it off before staring at it when science hit my eyes!  In this darkness even though the light was off I continued to see the light bulb as if it was still on and as I walked away until a new light came my way. As the great scientist I sought to be this morning I redid the test and the same event occurred.  I’m pretty sure I’m not insane because there were no Pink Elephants carrying the light bulb although that would be fascinating! What is the called?  Has this happened to you? 

Stephen Colbert and the FCC- Hard Decision

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Steven Colbert

I find Stephen Colbert’s remarks about the President repulsive and undignified even for a late night host but the FCC should close it’s investigation ASAP. For once we launch into fining humor no matter how bad the jokes other voices will soon become silent.  When voices become silent that other means to express those points of view will be made which could be more detrimental to society as a whole and you never know when a brilliant remark might come from a Jack Ass.  The best answer to those that you personally fine offensive is for the people to speak their mind and watch a different channel. It shouldn’t be led by some official boycott or protest but by viewers who find there is humor and talent on the other 400 or so channels.  Therefore make your own choice and let Freedom of Speech reign.

FOOTNOTE- I’m available for a late night conservativish talk show host but not too late. Yes I made up the word Conservatish to showcase my creativity for such a show just not too late.

Miley Cyrus

miley cyrus 3  miley Cyrus miley Cyrus 2

I’m sorry Miley but it’s hard to get over the two top images and switch back to the Miley me and my daughter loved when she was growing up. I understand that people make mistakes but yours seems to be a publicity campaign that didn’t go as well as you like so you hired a new team.  Maybe it is hard felt but it will take more then a P.R management team to help wipe away this from your chalk board.   Miley might be back but for now I’m still watching the rerun’s.

How do you care…

Question 2 Question 1

How do you care this much? I know I’m only human but I believe that I’m built in your image with the empathy picture blurry.  For I’m sorry to say that I often let other people’s problems drift pass me by as a wind has blown.  I might feel a bit of their pain but feel I just don’t have the time or energy to deal with it and so how or why should I especially if it takes me away from our goals (I hope the our).  G-D what amazes me the most is not your infinite creations which are truly incredible but the ability to care about them all and to listen to every voice even those that don’t listen to yours.  I guess that’s why your G-D and I’m just me but maybe by having a bit more time and care here I’ll find more time then expected.

Purpose of Life TODAY

Purpose of life 3 Purpose of life 4

What is your purpose of life TODAY?  It’s more fulfilling to look at life when you have goals to achieve but not everyday seems to help get you get there. For sometimes life as itself seems to throw away today’s piece and you have to cut out another doesn’t appear to fix.  When days such as those occur we must realize the purpose of life is to live and live well.  That means doing the best we can with the resources G-D has given us for that day or even moment and understanding the road blocks we might face may help us see a door that would have been hidden elsewhere.  Live within the steps of faith and the purpose will be revealed if only in tomorrow’s steps.

Win after Loss can feel even better!!

President Trump at Rose Garden

Sometimes a win after a loss can feel even better as demonstrated by the House victory dance today over the ObamaCare Replacement Act. For if they were victorious out of the gate this win wouldn’t have smelled so good.  This is just as true in sports, business as in politics because so many others will quit when victory falls from their hands.  There is a long battle to go before the country can dance to this new tune but the single they hit today is a great start after their initial strikeout and it feels really good.
