fences  Manchester by the Sea

I’m 24 hours left till the Oscars and have missed 3 movies that have been nominated.  I’m dropping Moonlight out of the list since this story is not my cup of tea that leaves with the opportunity to see either Manchester by the Sea or Fences. Let’s see which one  (below) get my vote on tonight’s viewing screen.

(1)  Manchester by the Sea only $4.95 to rent – Fences- $15.00 to buy-  (Manchester +2)

(2) Denzel Washington is one on my favorite actors (Fences +1)

(3) My mother gave Manchester by the Sea a bad review   (Fences by + 1/2)

(4) Manchester by the Sea did better with critics and  Audience on Rotten Tomatoes (Manchester by + 1)

(5) Manchester is know to be depressing  (Fences by +1)

(6) Fences was on Broadway and I never got to see it (Fences by + 1/2)

 It’s a bloody Tie- WHAT SHOULD I DECIDE 

Maybe this should help (below)

Not Just $$

Money is not the only root to stupidity but many other temptations can lead you down the same path. How far would you go to have the fame of a ***STAR*** in bright lights?  Would that smile from a forbidden fruit tempt you to take a bite when your entangled with someone else?  Did you get drawn into a substance that can make you do almost anything for one more jolt?  How far would you go to gain the power to bite those who stood in your way without fear of reciprocity? Money is just one root in a tree that can lead us away from where our true water source comes from.

Trump-Let Dopes Smoke

Marijuana Harm 2 Marijuana Harm

As the signs can read I’m not a big supporter of Marijuana but if someone wants to be a Dope let them be so.  The Trump Administration should try to have Congress change the law to allow states to legalize this drug as they see fit and therein turn not worry that they aren’t enforcing a law that’s basically unenforceable. There is such a demand for this product that keeping it illegal only allows the worst elements in society to reap any benefits.  We can instead try to educate our youth about the harm this leaf does to their developing brain so that they won’t be tempted to use it as well.   The federal government should use it’s limited resources to go after hard core drugs (Heroin, Cocaine etc) instead of  wasting time and monies on Dopes that will continue to smoke Marijuana no matter what.

Relax and DIE

HAMMOCK LIFE

I was recently told by a loved one maybe I should STOP pushing for new changes and just RELAX! My initial response “relax and die”! Yet I don’t want you to take this statement literally for there are times I enjoy my moments of relaxation and some my faith or body forces me to take whether I want to or not but even during those moments of slowing down I’m still thinking fast.  For when my mind stops running then I’m afraid my body will as well and I’ll be resting for eternity, although I’m sure I’ll have a job “G-D willing” up there as well which will keep me going even if I’m not.

Smile CRACKS Open

You can be having a day where the cup is down to it’s last drop and suddenly “that smile” will allow it to fill to the top. It will crack your mood right open and shatter and reminiscence of the difficult time that suddenly appears to be hours or days ago. Add a little laugh and you’ll melt as butter melts on bread.   Not every smile will do it must come from those that you have an animal attraction to and it must be real for this effect to take place. Yet it’s amazing how that smile will last hours or days and turn your frown upside down and leave your heart and body longing for more.

Hidden Figures- CLOSED

As I walked out of the movie “Hidden Figures” it closed some other doors in my head. This movie made me wonder more about the African American friends/associates I know and their own plights they went through as well as their reaction. This must be similar to the experience a Christian feels when leaving a movie about the Holocaust.  We stop at least for a moment judging people as individuals with their own plights and backgrounds and look at them as a poor suffering/conquering group. Although it’s important to walk in other groups shoe’s but not every shoe fits the members of such groups. We must balance our empathy for the plight of groups of individual without identify the individual member as a necessary victim or conqueror. Only when that fully occurs will we have fulfilled Martin Luther King’s Dream of judging by the content of each others character.

Not Just Words

My faith has as much to do with action(s) as it does with words.  For even the words we say in prayer must be said with emotion rather then just reading from the good book. We must follow any words with action to make this world a bit better for those words to truly meet G-D.  We had the work of offering up a sacrificial lamb during the time we left Egypt and continue to battle day by day for the peace and security of Israel and the world. The faith I follow is not a passive faith it is one where we partner with G-D to make this world a bit better for all its inhabitants nail by nail. It is the Jewish faith of action and emotional words.

Lana Del Rey “Love”- Hippish

Does this song make you feel as if you drifted back to the 60’s on some type of trip and this statement comes from someone who hasn’t used drugs. See you don’t have to use drugs to get an out of the body experience just listen. I think I want to go back. Very odd and_________

Keith Ellison Boycott

Keith Ellison

If Keith Ellison is elected as the Democratic Chairman then every Jewish Democrat and sympathizer should stop funding the Democratic party till at least 7/4/17 . Don’t worry the Democratic Party won’t fall apart but at least it will get the message that even if Mr. Ellison’s Anti-Semitic remarks were of the past that we won’t take it in the future.  I’m speaking as a Conservative Tea Party member of the Jewish faith who would never accept that from a leader of my party. It’s time we send a message that hate is unacceptable and stands above ideologue.

It’s Obvious… Isn’t it?

it's obvious it's obvious 2

You’re watching a T.V Show/Movie and it’s obvious they like each other but some how they afraid to ask each other out how unrealistic…. really? I used to think that way as well but after having many a business conversation where I’m basically adding 1 +1 they continue to get 3.   I don’t want to spell it out h-e-l-p but want them to grab my hand instead of let me drown.  Sometimes the “No Brainer” is really deeper then we think and a indirect question needs to be as precise as a surgeon with a scalpel.  I still he should have asked her out though.
